Claim: claims that comedian Groucho Marx once stated, "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies." (Viral Quote, 2019-09-17)
Evidence (2022-08-01): I wonder what Groucho would have made of the times we’re living in. An avowed liberal democrat his whole life, Groucho said politics: "is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies." He (also) famously said "I wouldn’t want to be a member of any club that would have me as a member". Most of us, when we’re young, find a singer or band that speaks to us. It’s like they know our soul. For me, that was Groucho and Groucho was that. [...] Like many comedians, in his private life, Groucho was very different. He was Julius – much more understated. He was private and very polite. While he didn’t have writers like S. J. Perlman and Bert Kalmer and Harry Ruby crafting his words, Julius did more than just okay.

It suggests that lack of preparation sets the stage for failure. This quote resonates in various aspects of life, from personal goals to professional endeavors.

I see it happen all the time to talented artists who fail to plan their career, fail to find their niche and then end up leaving the arts.

I’m constantly trying things that fail but I reflect and make changes and sometimes things do succeed. I believe though he was right — when things succeed it means that they are truthful. He also said: "To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true" so if we are creating from a place of truth then things will succeed, one way or another.

Evidence (2024-01-01): Just preparing for an event, whether that’s defending a world championship belt or running your first marathon, can pose a great challenge in itself, but is a vital factor in one’s chances of success. The following paragraphs briefly explore some of the strategies that you can use to optimise your own preparation for an event, allowing you to perform to the best of your abilities. [...] Particularly with endurance events, psychological factors can determine peak performance as much as physical capacity; therefore, it is equally as important to ensure adequate mental preparation for the challenge ahead. Common pitfalls with mental preparation include being too outcome-focused and worrying about the various scenarios that might occur during the event, most often beyond the control of the individual. Another potential mental obstacle is ‘hitting the wall’, the term given to the common occurrence experienced with endurance events, of suddenly feeling devoid of energy, coupled with intense negative thoughts and a desire to give up. [...] In summary, the importance is to focus on what you can control, and not to worry about what you can’t, and to make sure that you plan your event preparation carefully. Benjamin Franklin said, "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail" and as the old British Army adage goes, "Proper preparation and planning prevents poor performance’; but, above all, remember to just go out and enjoy whatever event you have signed yourself up for – even if it’s dodging punches from a 100kg opponent!

Evidence (2023-12-14): No leader worth their weight in annual reports would fail to prepare, right? Most of us spend a significant portion of our time in one form of preparation/planning or another. I heard a slightly different take on an old story recently—the story about King David and the temple—that made me think about a way many leaders actually prepare to fail. [...] There are too many stories to count about organizations that are led by charismatic founders who have great vision but fail to prepare and equip others to carry that vision forward. When the leader exits, sometimes suddenly, the organization falls. By failing to plan for the inevitable—their exit—they end up planning to fail. [...] I used to worry that I would die with significant parts of my vision undone. I don’t worry about that anymore. It will happen. What I spend time thinking about now is how I am going to engage the next generation of leaders so they can take the things we have started and add to them. I want to be a leader that plans on my own failure and therefore invests in the future. You will leave the work unfinished. Planning on that and preparing for it is leadership, and it is the Bison Way.
