"When I first developed my five-year career plan when I started college, I found myself adjusting it every day. Then, it was every week. Soon, I was adjusting it every month and redrawing the plan from scratch every year. Before long, my time management skill substantially improved. I found I didn't need to readjust my plan as often and started meeting my goals with increased frequency. I think now I am consistent in delivering. The secret to my success is flexibility and adaptability. I never give up. I just adapt and adjust."
