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.
