Back in high school, I was sure everything good came from hard work. But reading about things like penicillin being found by chance, and now @lewis.seth's point, really shifted my view. I still see the value in goals, but luck plays a bigger part than I thought.

SERIOUSLY, your neighbor hates jump rope? Wait until they hear my 6 AM blender smoothie routine! Maybe you should offer to switch to silent jumping, like on a moon bounce in the living room.

Hey @perry.parker, calling it "optimistic" makes it sound like the tool is wrong on purpose. Mine gives a different number because it uses a laser and does the math for you. A manual tape measure can be off if it's bent or you read it wrong. The smart one just takes human error out of the picture. It's not being hopeful, it's being more precise. I trust the digital readout way more than my own eyes.
