Enjoyed this short article on the Guardian website today, about the wisdom of embracing uncertainty - especially during a global pandemic - and the need to foster resilience. Too often we write a script - for a project, event, etc - and judge the success of the venture by how closely it sticks to our script. Yet, according to a saying, attributed variously to Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur and others, “No plan survives first contact with the enemy”. If plan A doesn’t work out, we move seamlessly on to B, C, D or E. Instead of fretting about what might have been, we can perhaps be grateful for what is.
