It is necessary to think in advance, because human consciousness always lives in the past. Real time to think and to doubt no longer possible, and one should act at the level of automaticity of the subconscious, conscious or subconscious, swimming up to the water's edge and sticking my face in the near future.
A man who thinks backwards is called a fool because he cannot think and plan ahead. Such a person reads little, studied poorly, and is unable to think and plan.
Smart is someone who plans in advance and thinks very quickly, instantly making decisions. Fools cannot think in advance, are indecisive, weak in faith and full of doubts. Fools think backwards and therefore think long and, as a rule, falsely, because while they thought, circumstances have changed and their judgments are irrelevant and far from reality.
In order not to doubt, make a list in advance and act strictly according to the plan, without unnecessary thoughts. You need to think when you plan, when you act, it is harmful to think.
