"في التحضير للمعركة وجدت دائمًا أن الخطط غير مجدية ولكن التخطيط لا غنى عنه."
— Dwight D. Eisenhower
Simplified Meaning:
When getting ready for a big task or challenge, having specific plans may not always work out because things often change unexpectedly. However, the act of planning itself is very important because it helps you understand the situation better and prepares your mind to handle whatever comes your way. For example, imagine you're organizing a big outdoor event. You might create a detailed schedule, but then it rains, and you have to adjust on the fly. Because you spent time planning, you already thought about what you need and what problems might come up, so you're better able to adapt. Planning gives you the flexibility to deal with surprises and make better decisions in the moment. So, even if your exact plan doesn't work out, the process of planning helps you stay prepared and calm.
