That's when his statement could not be more closer to truth - after all these years, the plans I have made were never truly completed. The more I tried to achieve them, the fewer opportunities I pursued.
So if you would like to leave with a eeny, weeny bit of wisdom from my short life, it is -

PLAN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE WITHIN REASON, & GRAB A HOLD OF NEW
OPPORTUNITIES ALONG THE WAY.
OPPORTUNITIES ALONG THE WAY.
The detail in our future is too unpredictable to plan for anyway.
