“The general who wins a battle makes many calculations before the battle is fought. The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand”.

“Thus many calculations lead to victory and few to defeat, how much more NO CALCULATION AT ALL”.

The Art of War By Sun Tzu - Translated by Lionel Giles

A Lighter View on Planning

Alice arrived at a crossroad. Alice asks the Cat ‘Would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here?”.

”That depends a good deal on where you want to get to" said the Cat.‘

”I don’t much care where”’ said Alice.

“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go” said the Cat.
