Fortune Cookie Advice: Dealing with Uncertainty

I am continually reminded that the dangerous uncertainty is the kind that you're not used to identifying as uncertainty. Your normal behavior-correcting habits don't kick in, so you just persist in a state of 'why is this so strange?'

My advice: beware of indulging the 'this is strange' feeling. it's just harmless ol' uncertainty. If you take it too seriously and want to do something to get rid of it, you may have a mess to clean up later.

I think you're stating the obvious...obviously right or obviously wrong. Obviously right in the sense that of course the hardest uncertainty to deal with is the uncertainty we cannot anticipate. And the obviously wrong part is that even if we can identify uncertainty, we may still have trouble dealing with it . so i think you may be missing a few things here...
