Are we just going to pretend that stupid plans don't ruin people's lives or that the ability to improvise isn't one of the keys to success for many smart people? It's quotes like this one that demonstrate that rich people aren't brilliant sages full of deep wisdom. They're just rich.

Warren Buffett's credibility doesn't come from just being rich. He is known for his talent in growing wealth, and he gives some solid financial advice. This meme is just a witty statement annoyingly represented as advice.

I'll argue that no plan = stupid plan by default. Planning won't prevent a stupid plan, but it sure does reduce the chance of one.
