A thread 🧵👇

“Speculating is the application of intellectual examination and systematic analysis to the problem of the uncertain future.”
“Man is extremely uncomfortable with uncertainty. To deal with his discomfort, man tends to create a false sense of security by substituting certainty for uncertainty. It becomes the herd instinct. - Bennett Goodspeed
“There’s nothing worse than two people who have on the same position talking to each other about the position.”
“Success can be built upon repeated failues when the failures aren't taken personally; likewise, failure can be built upon repeated successes when the successes are taken personally.”
