Life can't be planned

From corporate America to individual lives, people are trying to plan their life and their actions by what they think others will do. They try and figure out on paper what they think is a reasonable equation for what they want to happen. What they forget or ignore is the point that real world figures don't add up to whats on paper. Not that it's not possible to get a plan and calculate what will happen, but they don't plan for real world figures. What they plan for is the optimal situation, but the optimal situation is often the impossible situation. They plan for events and numbers that 'are' possible, but only if everything went as planned. Really though, when does everything you plan to happen remember that you planned it or even know about the plan? What needs to happen is plans and ideas going from what they think is the least that will happen, then deciding whither or not its passable to proceed from that point. Your on the wrong earth if you think you can plan for the optimal and expect it. Look on the bright side though, if you plan for the least and get it then anything above that's a bonus.
