When I was a reservist, and we were supposed to be preparing to join the Independence Day parade, I happened to converse with the Sergeant in charge of the rehearsal. What happens if it rains? What is the plan B. He answered it is alway Plan A. No ifs and buts, but go ahead. Full steam ahead.
Today,, I am to leave at 6:30 but it is still raining hard. And all ready, I am about to call the other party to postpone this meeting. because of the rain. But that would be the third postponement. We originally set it last Wednesday, reset by Friday, but it happened that he had emergency last Friday. So today if we defer this, it would be the third.
And it goes on and on and nothing gets accomplished. Postponing at times is the most practical thing to do but getting used to this I think builds a mindset of failure, ie of not getting anything done
What do you think? Is having Plan A always as Plan B is being inflexible or being OC. What do you think?
