It seems like human estimates, calculations, and interpretations are always wrong.
We are constantly making wrong assumptions, misreading people, situations, and various encounters.
Students all across the world can definitely relate to this. There are many times we feel like we aced a test, only to find out a week later that was not the case. My Dad has a famous saying for this: “If you feel like you got an A, then you got a B. If you think you got a B, that means you got a C.” These errors in our calculations are found in all aspects of life. You might think that a guy or girl likes you, until you find out that they don’t even know your name. You may feel like you knocked that job interview out of the park, until you never hear from the company again. A product that seems like a best seller ends up in the clearance aisle. Decisions that feel good can yield terrible, sometimes disastrous results. If we can figure out a way to make more accurate predictions and determine the results before they happen, then we can learn to prepare properly, avoid confusion, and escape unfavorable situations for ourselves and those around us.
