Normally I consider asking "omg why the downvotes boo hoo" to be crass, but in this case I'm genuinely curious: why do you guys think that this quote is inapplicable ?
Well, I liked the quote, and you have my upvote. It says to me, stop wasting time hoping things will turn out right (and contrapositively, worrying that things will turn out wrong) and get down to fixing the problems.
Am I reading too much into it? I don't think so. I don't care, either. It made me smile because it showcases a big part of my world-view.
Thanks for the upvote; I interpret the quote in a similar way.
