Actually I understood the quote, I just wasn't replying clearly. I was just being honest and saying "Nope" I am not prepared, that I do run blindly into things, and that it probably does make me a simpleton.
Then I went into a half-assed explanation (excuse) of why I am that way. I used to plan things out, but they never went right or I would forget a key component, so now I take things as they come and roll with the punches. Things still never go right, but I am used to it and I don't have anything else in mind which makes it less painful. Both EXTREMES can be bad.
It's late, I'm not sure I am making any sense whatsoever, but I wasn't trying to disagree with the quote or be disrespectful, just honest with myself.
