In our haste to “get on and do something” or worse to be seen to be doing something, we rush to a plan, a goal, and in so doing we fail to consider the creative and imaginative possibilities that may offer alternatives.
Luckily, this act of gross over-simplification creates only short-term damage, because inevitably life will happen when we are making these other plans. John Lennon, the author of that observation was busy making other plans about his next album when he was murdered.
