There Is No Plan B

A fellow parent at Julian's school had asked me, what is Julian's plan B if he does not achieve his plan A?

I was stumped for a few moments. I could not answer his question. The fact is we have not thought of a plan B.

Then I thought deeper. Why would a school child require a plan B? He does not need one. He has plenty of time to make his plan fully realisable. Is that not true? He is in full control of his plan. No one can deny him from pursuing his dream job if he achieves the required academic standard. You would only need a plan B if you are not in full control of plan A and you are at mercy of some external forces.

Perhaps parents in Malaysia may have the need for a plan B for their children. Not here. There is no plan B.
