    No it’s not.
    Being ready for anything is having a plan for anything.

    When you can’t know what your opponent might do, you can’t plan. That’s exactly why the best swordsman is afraid of the worst. He’s forced to go without a plan.

      How can anyone be ready for anything if this is the definition.

      Being prepared for anything is about having the skills and tools to solve any problem, any time. On the fly.

      A good general isn’t one who relies on his plan surviving contact with the enemy, it is the one who knows it won’t and is able to respond appropriately and timely.
