Believe in your ability to adapt more than your ability to predict perfectly.

CREATIVITY

WHAT THIS MEANS

Prediction fails routinely, and confidence built on being right about the future is confidence on a bad foundation. Adaptability holds up better, because it does not require the world to cooperate with your model. Trusting your capacity to respond is far more useful than trusting your capacity to foresee.

Instead of asking whether you know what will happen, ask what you would do under three different outcomes. Build the responses rather than the forecast. That kind of readiness survives being surprised.
