When our plans go awry, we know we totally miscalculated. We could’ve spent hours or days planning each step of the way, or each event from minute to minute, hour to hour, such as the iteanrry of a vacation, or the roads to take on our way to a restaurant or movie theater, only for something unexpected to happen.
It could be a traffic jam, a roadblock, roadside construction, something we forgot at home when we left, or even the weather. In our mind, each step was logically planned out, exact, working out perfectly within the stratosphere of our thoughts. But in reality, a thousand missteps could happen, making our plans seem trivial or not as thorough as we initially thought.
The same could be said of many things, such as the game of chess, a DIY project, or when we’re creating art (i.e. technology not working, or the scenes in a story we’re writing contradicting each other). Human error, we call it. But when they happen, we just have to learn from it.
