What’s the future? What are your plans? As we begin to move into the graduation season, when people wrap up high school, celebrate the achievements for college or maybe complete a certification training, questions about their plans are common. In thinking about plans and the future, I’m also reminded about a class I took on the History of the Soviet Union. I’ll never forget reading about their various Five Year Economic Plans and how these didn’t often get fully accomplished, even though the official government achievements were routinely publicized and celebrated. Government narratives can be interesting.
