I'm sorry, but what's wrong with making predictions based on the information you have today? I find nothing wrong with that.
We should all be bold and strive for the best and hope for and believe in our ability to succeed. The only problem comes when people live in a culture of blame when things don't go right. So what?
In the immortal words of Woody Allen, "80% of success is showing up." Or from Diane Arbus, "Learn not to be careful." Or David Kelley of IDEO, "Fail faster. Succeed sooner." According to Tom Peters, one of the most important qualities of leaders is the ability to forget. "Reward excellent failures, punish mediocre successes."
Be bold, be crazy, shoot for the moon and don't look back.
Yeah, we're going to the playoffs this year. There, I said it.
