What if you knew that something would fail? Would you have the answers to fix it? Have you ever heard someone say “I wish I knew now what I didn’t know then? Knowing is one thing, but knowing how to course-correct is another.

Try to imagine the most likely way something can fail, then ask, what can I really do about it. Ask people you respect to hypothesize failure for you. This future-casting of failure can be a valuable exercise for future failures and flipping them to successes.
