Planning is essential, plans are useless

“Planning is essential, plans are useless.”- Dwight D. Eisenhower

I would modify his words a bit, and change it to,

“Making an effort is essential, but effort is useless.”

Or attempting achievement is essential, but achievement is useless. We are doing creatures, we keep doing and doing; sometimes it appears that things have succeeded, and people applaud, but anyone who has achieved knows that there is so much more and better that can be done; very seldom are we satisfied with the effort that has been perceived as successful.
