The German field marshal, known as Moltke the Elder, believed in developing a series of options for battle instead of a single plan, saying “No plan of operations extends with certainty beyond the first encounter with the enemy’s main strength.” Today, “no plan survives contact with the enemy” is the popular reconfiguration of this concept.
Noted military strategist Mike Tyson also advanced this view of planning with what might be his most famous quote: “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”
I have always lived by the idea that you have to work your plan and plan your work. Living a designed life is the ultimate achievement of the modern warrior lifestyle in the west.
How do you design your life? Are you designing yourself into a job? Or are you trying to make your vocation a vacation.
