"Maybe"

The word "Maybe" originated from the early 19th century, and is, in my eyes: Overused. It means nothing! It slows progress. But most importantly, it destracts you from the simple yes and no choices that help you ground yourself in day-to-day life. These "maybe's" can be verbal, but many of them are physical. Maybe you'll go out to the party or, maybe you finish your paper due tonight?

You owe it to yourself to make incremental changes today that can have a lasting impact tomorrow. But a "maybe" is not a choice. AI computers are on track to surpass human decision making? Why is that? Because computers programmatically do not accept "maybe" as a valid answer: only 1's and 0's, yes or no. Make those choices, choose a definite answer, and if your outcome isn't what you expected, then you must make a change to influence the outcome.
