Things I Would Do Differently

Let's begin with the bottom line: I wouldn't do anything differently; I would do my best.

That much being said, what is the most difficult part about not having control over variables?

I think randomness is neither good nor bad (or both good and bad). So while things randomly go our way we become prone to taking credit for the trends. Similarly we assign blame when ill conceived events hatch.

It is hard to make plans in a world that dismisses logic.in favor of selfishness.
