    It means that you should have an idea of what you want to do in the future but don't make it concrete - be willing to change your plans and remain flexible to make the most of opportunities presented to you.

    Hope that helps!

    It means that you should plan something about future but not totally rely on it as luck is always there ...
    Sketch ur future ( Do your plannings ) but do it in pencil ( But make sure you can change ur plans too in any case:))

    plan some goals, but allow your self some changge so if you make a mistake you can still live a happy life. its sorta like a crossword, if you do it in pencil, you can fix your mistakes.
