The more we plan our steps, the more chance there is that we will go wrong, because we are failing to take into consideration four things:
1) Other people (2) Life's teaching (3) Passion, and (4) Calm.
The more we feel we are in control of things, the farther off we are from controlling anything. A threat does not issue any warning, and a swift reaction cannot be planned like a Sunday afternoon walk.
Do not allow your supposed experience of life to transform you into a machine.
Often what we call experience is merely the sum of our defeats. Thus we look ahead with the fear of someone who has already made a lot of mistakes in life and we lack the courage to take the next step.
