Years ago I read about some advice that the Royal Air Force in England gave to RAF pilots in 1939, in case they had to bale out and landed in enemy territory.

The advice was very simple.

Always have a plan.

No matter how small – always have a plan.

This simple plan could be just to move from hiding behind one tree to hiding behind another tree.

Why is this advice so good?

This old saying comes to mind.

“If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”

“Always have a plan” was rock solid advice in 1939.

It is still rock-solid advice today – in any situation.

Always have a plan.
