The Boy with a Plan


The Boy with a Plan had his moment of epiphany in the changing rooms at school when he had read the following motivational poster:
            “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail!”
            It was the exclamation mark which did it.
            The Boy with a Plan had never had a Plan and now realized that he needed a Plan.
            The Boy with a Plan decided on a Plan.
            The Plan was simple.
            The Plan was…
            …to fail.
            Any success in his Plan would have been a failure and any failure in his Plan would have been a success.

    I read the following some while ago, and it spoke to me; perhaps to you too. (Though I hesitate to promote another's work.)
