“In the short term, things are so unpredictable that it's unrealistic to plan further than a few days ahead.”
— Bill Watterson

Simplified Meaning:
Life can be very uncertain. Imagine you have planned a picnic for the weekend because the weather forecast predicts sunny skies. But suddenly, it starts raining on the day of the picnic, and your plans are ruined. This demonstrates how unpredictable daily life can be. Changes happen quickly and sometimes unexpectedly, like sudden rain, a delayed train, or a surprise visit from a friend. Because of this, planning too far into the future might not work out as expected. Instead, it's better to make short-term plans that can adapt easily if something changes. Focusing on the next few days allows you to be more flexible and avoid disappointment when things don't go as planned.
