The meaning of the phrase "if you fail to plan you plan to fail" simply means if you do not plan out, it is recipe for failing. It means to plan out before you do something, think it out so to speak.

∙ 14y agoIt is an old proverb, it is in many languages and cultures. There is not real record of the original speaker. And because it exists in many cultures, we don't even know the true country or origin.
Many writers have been quoted as being the source of this or similar quotes, but in truth it predates all of them.

If you fail to plan will you plan to fail do you agree or disagree give reasons to support your answer?
I assume you are talking about the same instance- If I fail to plan my history project, then I planned to fail my history project" I do not agree- the way I look at this, if you have failed to plan, you must have already failed all together, because you cannot fail to plan until you have lost your ability to plan. This means you already had to do that "history project" on the last day, which means you failed to plan. You did not however, plan to fail, and if you did that was a conscious choice you made, and you are a complete and total idiot. In essence, unless you had reason to fail, wanted to fail, and planned on failing ahead of time, you did not plan to fail JUST BECAUSE you failed to plan. This is a very situational and very opinion based question... there is no definitive answer.
