Wisdom
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail. (Benjamin Franklin)
Noted for both his wise counsel in political affairs and his practical wisdom as reflected in his writings, Franklin’s comment here is invaluable. Anyone who wants to enter the political realm, the writing world, or the creative laboratory should heed his advice. Too often we want to jump right into an intriguing adventure without the prior planning that is essential to success.
The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty (Proverbs 21:5).
