The young boy and his father sat quietly watching the snow fall on a snowy Saturday afternoon.
“Dad, my friend told me that every snowflake is 36 . But they look all the same to me. How can we tell?” the child asked.
Dad felt it was his 37 to give a more satisfying answer. “Son, snowflakes are like people. We are each 38 in a very special way. We can test it right now,” he said.
The child stood up, put out his hands, and 39 as snowflakes landed on his gloves. “These snowflakes are all different on my gloves, but those in the yard look the same. Together they are even more_ 40 and striking. Then if people are like snowflakes, why don't they 41 ?”
“Choice,”Dad said. "Their choices 42 them what they are.”
“ 43 choice is a bad thing?” the boy asked.
“Oh, no. Only when we choose the 44 things.”
“How do we tell right from wrong?" the child asked.
Dad was given the chance to build upon the foundation of his son's 45 . He reached down and began to 46 with the snow. He 47 the snow into two sides, three large snowballs on one side and several smaller ones on the other.
“Which side did the right thing?” he asked the boy.
The child looked at both sides but 48 answer. Then Dad placed the three larger snowballs on top of each other.
“It’ s a snowman! The side 49 made me snowman!” the boy replied with 50
Yes, all these people came together and recognized how special each of them was, so they joined in a(n) 51 to build up mankind,” Dad said.
The child then stood up and 52 an arm full of the smaller snowballs. One by one he began to throw them at the other small piles of snow. He said,”This is what happens when people can't work together. They have a(n) 53 .”
Dad was shocked. He stood up, lifted the boy and 54 him tightly, whispering to him, “I hope that your world will learn to work and live together. I hope you will make the right 55
and learn to build the best snowman ever.”

I used to be the messiest person alive．Over the years, through watching others and by trial and error, I have finally found ways to come up with plans, organize them and follow through with them．
Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen．Make a list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done．
Detail everything thoroughly and read over it so you can start coming up with some mental solutions of how to carry out your plans．
You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesn’t work, you have way two and way three to lean back on．Therefore, different ways are needed at hand．It’s just a matter of being organized．Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and chances are that if one of those ways doesn’t work, one of the other ones will．
Committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at once is also necessary．It will show that you not only have initiative to get things rolling, but that you are interested in the results obtained with making the move to get everything done．
If you make a commitment to finish before a specific time, make sure that you carry that out, and be sure to do everything in the way you said you would, within the time-frame you set for yourself．
Don’t try to tackle more things all at a time．All that does is delay your progress, distract you and make you lose your interest, motivation and energy．
Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible．You will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not deviating or trying to do more at a time．
Last but not least, you should never abandon things mid-project．It will only annoy everyone around you including yourself．Unfinished plans are a waste of time, energy and, in some cases, even money．
So, don’t be afraid of organization．The older we get, the more necessary it becomes to have the skills to follow through with confidence and to be able to carry through plans in an organized and manageable way．It pays to be organized, after all．
