Does Prior planning prevent problems, or do problems come along no matter what you do?

Question

What is the worst problem you have overcome? How did youdo it?

Answer 1

. . . to be on the safe side, at all times use a condom . . .

Answer 2

Prior planning can sometimes prevent some problems (like getting your income taxes filed before the deadline)...at least the ones you can foresee. It will not prevent all problems all the time. Sometimes you can mitigate an unforeseen problem, sometimes you just have to adjust to it.

Answer 3

Prior planning does not prevent problems, but if and when they come along you are more prepared to deal with them. You don't need to know my worst problem.
