Who owns plan b?

Warning: This article may contain traces of humor, sarcasm, and witty remarks. Reader discretion is advised.

You know what they say – you should always have a backup plan. That’s why we have emergency exits, spare keys, extra pairs of socks…and Plan B.

But wait a minute – who owns Plan B? And no, we’re not talking about the (in)famous contraceptive pill here. We mean the actual concept of having an alternative solution in case things don’t go according to plan.

Let’s dig deeper into this mysterious ownership issue and see if we can find some answers.

The Origins of Plan B

To understand who owns Plan B today, we first need to look at its history. Legend has it that even the ancient Egyptians had contingency plans for their pyramids in case something went wrong during construction- now that’s dedication!

But when did modern-day planning begin?

One popular theory suggests that military strategists were among the first to use systematic planning as a way to outsmart their enemies on the battlefield. They sure knew how to make every second count!

Fast-forward a few centuries later and you’ll find businesses embracing planning as well- especially with respect to finances & production schedules (yawn). But it wasn’t until recently that Planning became widely adopted by individuals’ personal daily lives; from packing extra snacks before embarking on journeys or scheduling date nights after work hours – adaptability through flexible changes options was key!

So Who Owns It?

All right then; enough with the history lessons. Let’s get down to business and answer THE question – who exactly owns any “Plan Bs” that exist today?

We could argue that since nobody “created” or “discovered” contingency planning per se’, one cannot really claim ownership over it–that would be like every person owning oxygen simply because it exists(eyeroll).

But what if we look at it from a different perspective?

If you break down the concept of Plan B, it’s essentially just an alternative option to consider when things go awry. And in our modern world, where innovation and creativity are highly valued, coming up with novel solutions to tricky problems is crucial.

From this angle, we could say that whoever comes up with a specific Plan B for a particular situation owns it–at least until someone else adapts or improves upon their strategy (gasp!).

For example: Let’s suppose your original plan was to commute on your usual route via bus but suddenly there was severe traffic jam today which led you either getting late or stranded altogether. So instead of waiting around aimlessly hoping to catch another ride (which never happens), you decide the backup plan will be taking an alternate train.

Congratulations! You’re now the proud owner of Plan B- at least until circumstances change again.

Of course ‘‘owning’’ every contingency plan can’t apply universally – simply because not all plans are worth owning(phew) . But since everyone has unique situations eye roll, Everyone should start prepping one way or another !

Practical Applications

Well, everything so far sounds great and dandy…but how does this help anyone in real-life scenarios? Great question!

Let’s use some practical examples:

Example #1 : The Job Interview

You’ve been invited to interview for your dream job position in XYZ company. Exciting stuff (jumps off chair). But wait- what if something goes wrong during the interview day itself (other than nervousness) ? Like suppose last minute power outage occurs shutting your alarm clock; leaving you panicked & confused first thing morning ??

Having readiness pay dividend – planning helps here too. This is where that humble ‘backup’ research pays off handsomely; do find multiple routes towards office, Keep an extra suit clean & ironed – in case you spill coffee, and while having packet of biscuits or chocolate can be a great feel-good motivator when the road gets bumpy . These little things add up ultimately making your interview experience less stressful- even enjoyable. So as usual, having that Plan B #AlwaysHelps!

Example #2 : Disaster Preparation

Natural disasters (spooky) are something we always hear about but often hope they will never happen to us(pulling invisible rabbit foot). But it’s essential to prepare for such events ahead of time–’cause praying them away don’t always work(ouch) .

First step is identifying potential risks in your area (check those maps!), Assessing what you may need during/after the emergency(e.g., First Aid kit), then working on building basic survival supplies over period(until its enough); including Food rations supply small treatments like candles matches et al helping keep spirits lightened , Your Emergency suitcase contents pivot around lifesaving essentials rather than luxury comforters so pack smart.

Creating escape routes and practicing drills with family members could also mean life-or-death difference(better safe than sorry!). All these strategies encompass creating more robust options without solely relying on Government aid – after all who knows better our unique conditions?

Conclusion

So there you have it folks. While determining who specifically owns “Plan B” might be a bit tricky(wink), the idea behind contingency planning itself is accessible open option which all human being have equal rights to access because…. well let’s just say “Life happens”, doesn’t matter how much one plans for everything eventually twists and turns…and we find ourselves asking “what now?”. The answer: Think outside the box, draw inspiration from various sources like books websites friends & colleagues; whichever works best (gasp!), roll up those sleeves and get ready to create flexible solutions!

Remember- having multiple contingency plans could mean the difference between moving forward with ease or being stuck feeling hopeless! So never underestimate the power of a Plan B (or C, D,…) and watch yourself become well equipped for whatever life throws at you next(snap).
