Guessing

Sometimes we have to make a guess.

We won’t have enough information. We won’t have enough confidence. We won’t have enough assurance.

We’ll just have to make our best guess and see what happens.

But over time, we learn, and we get better at guessing.

And over time, we learn, and we get better at responding to the consequences of our guesses.

That second part is what’s most encouraging: that we improve by trying — not by hiding.
