Happy National Take A Wild Guess Day! Is it a calculated risk to celebrate today each year on April 15th? It might depend upon how you observe the day.
Will you guess how many jelly beans are in a jar? Or will you be estimating your taxes? The day could be full of hunches and guesses depending on how you spend it.
As a contestant in the game of life, sometimes our only option is to venture a guess at what’s around the corner. Our inklings or premonitions may never come to be.
However, if the future keeps you awake at night worrying, it’s a good bet that worrying never paid a bill.
Another good wager about worrying is that it costs you more in time and the space in your head than it will ever give back to you. But that’s just another estimate.
The day challenges us to take a stab at making probabilities and wild predictions. They may be way off or right on target. Sometimes we get better at guessing as we go, or we have a knack for it right away. No matter the case, it’s just a wild guess. Don’t take it seriously.
“The way to thrive in chaotic times is to discover ingenious solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems.” ~Jim Barber
HOW TO OBSERVE
While most of us are not statisticians, we understand the basics of averages. Assess your options and take a wild guess about something, anything.
How many pennies are in the penny jar? How many National Days over 1500 are there on National Day Calendar®? Your wild guess might just be spot on.
