Act First, Plan Later

We must act before we plan. But wouldn't this lead us to recklessness?  

In fact, to plan first leads us to recklessness easier than to act first - as one could either make a reckless plan and adhere to it religiously, or one can break his plan through recklessness. 

... 

To have to act first, makes one responsible for his actions, and makes him conscientious from the very beginning, as no plans can be blamed for any disastrous outcome.  

Whereas to plan first before any action is taken, takes the consequences of each action away from their causes - because only the goals of the plan are considered - and this can make the person less responsible for his actions, especially if he follows a misleading plan too closely. 

... 

This doesn't mean that we shouldn't make plans at all. Instead, we should only make plans after we have taken some action - i.e plans should be made to change the direction of our actions, and not to tell us, from the beginning to the end, all the specific actions that we must take in order to reach our goals.
