Preparation is The Way to Success Lincoln's famous remark makes it evident that making full preparation is essential to those who want to achieve success.Therefor, smart people prepare things well in advanced so that they outperform those with little or no preparation. Preparation can male a difference on our way to success.For one thing,preparation helps us find the best efficient way to do things.Those with no preparation may use the first method they can think of, but chances are there are other methods out there they can do things better and faster. For another,preparation makes us ready when opportunity comes. We shouldn't prepare ourselves only when we have a project ahead. Even when there is no project, we should keep building skills and knowledge. That way when opportunity comes we will be ready to grab it. As university students, only when we attach great importance to full preparation can we attend our goal and achieve success. As an old saying goes, ''Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.''
