“A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week”
— George S. Patton
Simplified Meaning:
Acting quickly with a solid plan is often better than waiting for the perfect plan and acting later. Imagine you are trying to clean your house because guests are coming over. If you start cleaning now, even if it's not perfect, your house will be much tidier when they arrive. However, if you spend too much time planning the best way to clean it perfectly but do not start right away, your guests might arrive before you finish, and the house could still be messy. So, it's often more effective to take action now, even if everything isn't perfectly planned, rather than wait too long and miss the opportunity to get things done. By moving forward with a good plan immediately, you can often achieve better results, solve problems sooner, and take control of the situation.
