There is the cliché that says, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”

I think that is a little wrong. While I think planning is important, it is also important to fail. In fact, I think that it is critical that you fail so that you can see success.

I think that the statement should be revised and extended to be:

If you don’t plan to fail, you will fail to plan appropriately.
