Hope for the best. Expect the worst?

Question

that way you're always right. Either you are pleasantly surprised or validated in your expectations. Right?

to clarify: I do not mean dread the worst I mean don't be disappointed if things don't work out. That's the hope for the best part.
Not apprehension just anticipating the best and worst scenarios equally. If you ask yourself "what's the worst outcome?" And "what's the best? " What happens will always fall in between.

Answer 1

That's a good way of bracing yourself. Sometimes I catch myself expecting the worst because part of me thinks that if I expect the worse, the best will happen. That's very superstitious and irrational, I know, but oh well.

Answer 3

I don't see where you get one is right by this.

I would call it prepared and surprised .

So if the worst does come it is no surprise, and if you are wrong you are surprised.

How do you think one is RIGHT when you don't know the future. : )

Answer 4

Hoping for the best, being prepared for the worse.

Answer 5

A good outlook. Another way to be always right is to obey God. Not to preach, but the Bible is chock full of truth. I call it 'doing life right'. End of sermon.
