The Map Is Not the Terrain

A plan is only a model of reality. Explorers use maps, but they do not mistake them for the world itself.

Updating Your Map

• Notice when reality contradicts your expectations.
• Change direction without treating it as failure.
• Use new information to refine your next move.

Adaptability Creates Progress

Explorers move forward because they revise quickly. The willingness to update your map is what keeps the journey alive.
