Many years ago people believed that "whatever will be, will be, the future's not for ours to see". In fact, these are the lyrics of a very popular song, "Whatever Will Be, Will Be" in the 60's and 70's. This song is no longer played or sung now because many people now realize that you can design your future, not whatever will be will be, and the first step is to plan your Personal Growth. Here's how you can plan your Personal Growth and achieve your desired riches in life ...
Hope this is useful for personal growth planning in your work and life.
