The 2016 Election, Uncertainty And Opportunities
In exactly one week and just after Halloween, the United States will elect their new President. Being President of the USA is probably one of the most difficult and rewarding job in the world.
Today, no one can know for sure who is going to be elected. This what happens with future events where there is no certainty. Even if thousands of surveys have been done to help us predict the result on November 8, we don’t know what could happen in the days ahead that could change the final results dramatically.
We never really know until it’s done. The most recent example of this phenomena was in the UK where most people didn’t believe the Brexit could win even hours before the referendum.
Facts vs. uncertainties
The distinction between a fact, a piece of knowledge, information and a future event which has a certain level of uncertainty (a possibility) is paramount to Instantgo. Using our communication platform, our users search and find the answers they are looking for instantly. In order to do so, they connect with other users and experts, get access to their specific knowledge and pay for their time and services. What is shared is often actual knowledge or precise help. Real facts or experiences shared between people and applied to a specific situation.
When predictions become important
Many times, a question or a problem can have many different ways to be resolved. This means that a certain level of uncertainty will always exist. Any decision to do something is a decision to not do something else. This is why it is so important to get the opinions of other intelligent people in order to better decide what to do next. We don’t need into account the opinion of others before proceeding but listening to different point of views can only help get to the best outcome.
The next thing to consider is if you have the power to impact the future. If what you do and decide will have a consequence of what is going to happen next. This is very different from the results of an election or to guess if Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump will win next week where your involvement is usually limited to your vote and maybe to the local support your gathering for your preferred candidate.
Seeking knowledge outside our comfort zone
The idea that everything can happen is important couple of days before an election. It reminds us that in life in general, there are no certainties. This is why we are able to find new opportunities and why having the right knowledge is so essential. We can influence future events and change our path. We have a certain control. We need to remain open for change and seek people that can point us to new directions. This is one the reasons why Instantgo was founded.
The more we seek information outside from our comfort zone, the more chance we have to find new knowledge and data that helps us grow and change over time, creating for us the opportunities that we are dreaming about.
In exactly one week we will know who is the winner of this surprising election. For the rest of what we want to achieve, it might take more time that a week. But knowing that we can strive in that uncertainty is what gives the courage to the candidates to run for President in the first place.
