I believe the quote is actually "If you fail to prepare then you are preparing to fail" and it would be Benjamin Franklin.
1727?
If you do not prepare, you will fail, so it's basically like preparing to fail.
Harvey Mackay said, "Failures don't plan to fail; they fail to plan."
Yep.... Just that the phrase doesn't really make sense, you can't not plan (fail to plan) and plan to fail, i mean, what he hell
win then
you should have a comma after "plan" and "fail" should have an "s" at the end. Irony FAIL!
True. You can succeed without a plan, but with a prepared mind.
Because if you fail to plan, you plan to fail...
