Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.

No plan, no matter how awesome or well-plotted, never survives contact with the situation.

The plan WILL CHANGE.

Improvisation skills are just as important as being prepared.

It doesn’t matter the situation–home, work, finding a job, raising a kid, changing a tire, a relative dies, someone goes to the hospital, grocery shopping, cooking . . .

Name it.

You can lay the most detailed, well-provisioned plan with every contingency you can think of plotted out, and something WILL come out of left field to knock you on your ass.

Having a plan is nice, but it isn’t a shield against hard reality.

Learn to improvise, and make the best decisions you can at the time.
