I guess it is just much easier to forecast good
news than bad ones; for good news occurs
rarely by chance and is most often the result of
long efforts. It is generally known well in
advance when a fortunate development will
occur.
While bad news (sometimes predictable, such as
layoffs, some conflicts or famines) generally
occurs by surprise, without notice: It is in fact
easier to destroy than to build; to do harm than
good; to kill than to give life.
And yet, we are far more fascinated by dangers
than promises; by threats than hopes. Because
bad news is information; while good news is
stated in general well in advance.
This is though not the case for a tsunami, a
terrorist attack, or a disease.
Some of the good news that I believe will likely
occur in 2015.
What I am really much more concerned is the
bad stuff such as:
1. ISIS controlling Baghdad and spreading its
influence throughout the Middle East and
elsewhere and teaming up with international
terrorist organizations with global outreach
triggering intercontinental terrorist attacks we
cannot predict or contain.
2. The Ebola epidemic in West Africa
establishing itself as an epidemic of major
proportions and ultimately reaching the US with
a significant impact, leading to significant
deceleration in many other forms of exchange.
3. The political and financial situation in China,
increasingly unstable, getting out of control and
leading to a major economic crisis there, with a
considerable impact on the global economy.
4. The United States headlong flight into debt
and printing money, only to achieve a meager
growth rate and failing to save a totally
unbalanced financial system.
The consequences of our actions are always so
complicated, so diverse, that predicting the
future is a very difficult business indeed.... But
as Abraham Lincoln used to say: “The best way
to predict your future is to create it”
What do you plan to do to create your future?
Share your thoughts.
