There are two ways to say this sentence, one is "It is up to heaven to make things happen, and it is up to people to plan things"; the other is "It is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to plan things". These two statements represent two states of mind. The former refers to a Buddhist state. You should work hard. Whether you succeed or not depends entirely on God's will. The latter means that God has created opportunities for you, and you must seize this opportunity and work hard to succeed.

1. Understanding the second half of the sentence

The key point of this sentence lies in the second half, which means that if God does not plan something for you, then you will not be able to accomplish it. But the other half of it is also very important. God has given you a chance, and the rest is all up to you. That is to say, things are arranged by God. This is the most important premise. Without this premise, everything you do will be in vain. Just like those who study hard now, they have worked hard for most of their lives, but in the end they have achieved nothing. Sometimes it's not that you don't work hard enough, but that you don't have the talent and opportunities, and God doesn't reward you with that meal.

2. Understanding the first half of the sentence

Although opportunities are very important, when you say this sentence, it means that God has given you a chance. At this time, it depends on whether you can grasp it. If you grasp it, you can succeed. If you cannot grasp it, there is nothing to say. We are reminded to seize the opportunity and not let opportunities slip away from us. In fact, there are always some opportunities in life, but some people cannot see them, and even if they see them, they are not willing to seize them. It is precisely with this kind of thinking that opportunities slip away from me. This sentence serves as a reminder to such people to cherish the opportunities in front of them and make good use of them.

3. Success depends on God, and planning depends on people.

What people often say now is: Everything depends on God, and planning depends on people. That is, no matter what, you should give it a try. . If you don't try it yourself, you will definitely not succeed. If you are willing to try, then there is a general possibility that you will succeed. I want people to work hard at something rather than give up halfway or not do it at all.
