Same shit. Different day.


In 1869:

“No plan survives contact with the enemy.”

— Helmuth von Moltke the Elder

In 1987:

“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.”

— Mike Tyson

Same shit. Different day. Over 100 years apart, but the same wisdon in both quotes.

Wisdom is often timeless. We don’t need modern solutions to modern problems. Oftentimes, the solution is some timeless wisdom that simple needs to be creatively applied. Sort of how like “germ theory” was in the bible, but not defined scientifically until the late 19th century.
