Planning to Worry


"The nicest things about not planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise, rather than being preceded by a period of worry and depression."

Sir John Harvey-Jones
Chairman Imperial Chemical Industries, Retired

So, is he in favor of planning?

What about you?

  2. Either facetious or extremely pessimistic (assumes failure is inevitable?)

    There are no guarantees and failure is always a possibility even with a plan. However chances for success increase significantly when you plan.
