The Pilot

A commercial airline pilot doesn’t take off the same way in every condition. In clear weather, she uses one set of parameters. In a storm, she uses different ones. She reads the conditions and adjusts.

She doesn’t say, “The flight plan says we climb to 35,000 feet, so we climb to 35,000 feet even if the storm won’t let us.”

She uses the plan as a starting point. Then she adjusts based on what’s actually happening.

Training is the same. The program is the flight plan. Your body is the weather. Read it. Adjust. Land safely.
