Planning can enhance the chances of creating a higher likelihood of a better present by securing need and achieving want in the shortest time with the least risk.

There are 100 random numbers below. In 5 seconds, find number 1, and in order, try to reach 10 before time runs out; Go

People are usually more convinced by reasons they discovered themselves 

than by those found by others.

Blaise Pascal

Same thing only different, except for the cross hair line pattern. Touch number 1 in the upper left corner then 2 in the upper right and then down etc… clockwise for 5 seconds; Go

Were the numbers easier to find from experience or that there was an organized way to find them or both? Chances are you found more numbers in the same amount of time with the pattern to follow on top of prior experience.  

The fifth attempt should be faster than the second. Remembering where the numbers were creates higher probabilities of getting farther the next time you try.

If patterns are identified, documented and optimized, when others with coincident interests engage, those who stand to mutually benefit can be integrated into the plan at higher levels of productivity in less time faster than competitors. 

Planning can enhance the chances of creating a higher likelihood of a better present by securing need and achieving want in the shortest time with the least risk. 

Since it usually takes less time to reach an objective with a plan, chances are you should be able to get farther in less time than those without, leaving more time to do more of what you want. 

There can be patterns to find and follow to exponentially increase the likelihood of out-performance. 

If non-material Want can provide actualization and obtaining material Want doesn’t necessarily create happiness, it’s better to be miserable with a high standard of living than unhappy and poor.

Saving $5 a day with a 10% return accumulates $1,000,000 in 40.3 years, unless it doesn’t and/or you didn’t.

If failing to plan is planning to fail, the standard of living and quality of life of those who plan should be higher than those that don’t. 

If achievement takes less time via preparation, you should get farther faster than those didn’t. 

What is putting off until tomorrow what should have been done yesterday?

Hope is not a plan. 

A bank deposits $86,400 in your account every day, but only for one day. What you don’t use you lose until you get another $86,400 the next day. 

You get 86,400 un-redeem-ably finite seconds every day. 

Begin at a goal and prepare backward.

Turn a few options into many and enjoy the possibilities of what could be. 

Coffee tastes better if the latrines are dug downstream from an encampment.
