Grow your abilities, your character, your education, and your capacity. You can decide who you want to be and get about the business of becoming that person.

It isn't enough to pick a path—you must go down it. By doing so, you see things you couldn't possibly see when you started out; you may not like what you see, some of it may be confusing, but at least you will have, as we like to say, "explored the neighborhood." The key point here is that even if you decide you're in the wrong place, there is still time to head toward the right place.
Ed Catmull

So if your primary goal is to have a fully worked out, set-in-stone plan, you are only upping your chances of being unoriginal.
