It is not scientifically possible to accurately predict the outcome of an action. To suggest otherwise runs contrary to historical experience and the nature of war.

I scientifically engineer my music to be as accessible as possible.

The value of practice lies in the experience, not the outcome.

I was as big as I could be, ... I did whatever possible. I can't really predict when a guy's going to bounce the ball in front of the plate, then kill you with the speed like Giles did.

You have to believe that it's still possible. Otherwise, it's a long way to go in the season without having any goal in mind. To me, the difference between winning and losing is a very thin line. It's about doing little things and working hard. If this team can get on a roll -- which I think we can -- I think we can make a serious run.

Hoping means seeing that the outcome you want is possible, and then working for it.
