Don’t bother using your gigantic Mathematics brain to work it out. Logic and reasoning will not find the pattern, but if you know the answer, you know that a very young child can work it out.

We always want to know the answer to “What’s next?”

If we could greet the day with this knowledge, nothing could take us by surprise. People spend fortunes paying people who claim this knowledge.

Certainly, we cannot use formulas or equations. We cannot guarantee that “Echo” follows “Echo” just because “Sierra” followed “Sierra” and “Foxtrot” followed “Foxtrot”.

It’s how we see the words, and how we think that makes the answer simple.

Take tomorrow, for example. Will it be the same as today? Maybe, maybe not. We should be prepared for any number of opportunities. In fact, from our perspective, and with the right way of thinking, we can (to a large extent) predict the day simply by determining for ourselves what it will be.

This is called setting goals. We construct what we want the future to be; then we plan and act as if this were true. As Abraham Lincoln said, “The best way to predict your future is to create it.”

By the way, the next word on the list is “November,” of course, followed by “Tango.” It’s really obvious, if you are thinking the right way, so that any English speaking primary school student can predict the next several words.

It’s not Rocket Science.
