Announcing your plans is a good way to make god laugh.

A man makes a plan. It does not work out according to plan. What does this mean?

It means we have no claim to knowledge, regardless of the outcome.

The bargain between man and god is that man must do his best, for then the will of god is meted out according to the truth. A man who seeks anything without his best effort puts any desire at grave peril. Only the man who strives for nothing but fulfilling his potential can fall on the one true path.
