What is a foolish plan? What is a brilliant plan?
In my view i think four things decide whether a plan is stupid or brilliant.
Number 1: Time
Something stupid today, can be brilliant tomorrow.
Number 2: Location
Something foolish in Wa can be brilliant in Accra.
Number 3: Background Knowledge
Our previous knowledge of similar things we’ve seen will let us classify future ones as brilliant or foolish.
Number 4: Outcome
The results of the decision(paln). If the results is good. Ebe good decision. If the results bad, ebe bad or stupid decision.
Me, I believe the biggest decider is the number 4: the Outcome
What Chairman Wuntumi is doing in this video is considered “foolishness” because NPP no win Assim North. If NPP had won, this same video will be circulated, with the caption “the mastermind”.
Generally,
If you take a decision and get a good results, its a smart decision. If that same decision results in bad results, ebe stupid decision.
As another results:
Meta (Facebook) just launched Threads, an app that is just like Twitter.
5 years 10 years down, if it works, all experts go say “that was a smart move”.
If it fails, same experts go say : “that was a stupid idea.”
Or take our project for instance, the #MurabitProject, imagine the project fails and 20 or 30 years from now, we go on pension and we dont even have a place to sleep.
Many will say the #MurabitProject was a stupid thing to do.
“How do you spend 25,000gh to build a structure where children will sit and read when you dont even have a plot?”- they will say.
And they may be making sense, because 25K can get a land at a very good location in Wamfie or anywhere in Dormaa East. And if ebe farm land, you may even get an acre.
But if it works, same people will say “wow, these guys were smart. They were visionary. And what not”.
Yeh.
So, If a plan fails, ebe stupid plan. If same plan works, ebe brilliant plan.
Ur decision to further school instead of investing in your business will have same fate. If it works, good, else, bad decision.
Your decision not to marry, same
Your decision not to give brith, same
Your decision not to Jakpa, same
If it works, “brilliant decision”, else, “stupid decision”.
