Failing to Prepare, is Preparing to Fail

No Bait

In the silent hours of contemplation’s realm,
Where thoughts like mighty ships take the helm,
There lies a truth, both stark and bare,
“Failing to prepare is preparing to fail,” they declare.

Upon the canvas of the night, stars in alignment,
Whispering secrets of success and confinement.
For those who in foresight’s garden gently tread,
Harvest dreams alive, not shadows of dread.

A lesson taught by time, ancient and wise,
That only the prepared meet the sunrise.
While others sleep in the bed of procrastination,
They wake to the storm of missed realization.

It’s the weaver’s loom, the builder’s square,
The navigator’s map, through fog and air.
A principle, simple, yet profound,
In every endeavor, let preparation abound.

So gather your tools, your plans, your might,
Under the moon’s soft glow or the sun’s bright light.
For the path to victory, narrow and steep,
Is found by those who sow, while others sleep.

In this world of chance, of chaos, of storm,
Let preparation be your standard, your norm.
For in its embrace, you’ll find the grail,
And remember, “Failing to prepare, is preparing to fail.”
