“The illusion that one has understood the past feeds the further illusion that one can predict and control the future. These illusions are comforting. They reduce the anxiety that we would experience if we allowed ourselves to fully acknowledge the uncertainties of existence. We all have a need for the reassuring message that actions have appropriate consequences, and that success will reward wisdom and courage. Many business books are tailor-made to satisfy this need.”
Daniel Kahneman

This quote reminds us how tempting yet dangerous it can be to live under the illusion of fully controlling the future. It invites us to embrace life's uncertainties with humility and mindfulness.
