Fail to Prepare - Prepare to Fail

When I was a student at the very High School that I now work at, a teacher would always paraphrase Benjamin Franklin by saying, "Fail to prepare?  Prepare to fail."  I hated hearing that over and over and over and over again.  Alas, it's the truth.

Yesterday was a perfect example of that.  I worked REALLY hard to be prepared and to have everything set with plenty of time to spare.  I was prepared... and you know what?  I was successful.  The day went off without any major issues and was done quickly and easily.

So, 12 years late, I will say this... I guess old Benny is right.
