I recently came across a New York Times opinion piece on a fairly important philosophical issue that I, admittedly, had a few problems with.

COLUMN: Overcoming the planning fallacy

Achieving a life goal can be like navigating an obstacle course. The ups and downs slap you with headaches, and the twists and turns throw you off like when you first walked on these wavy on-campus sidewalks.
