Certainity Vs Uncertainity

How many times have we spoken with our friends about how uncertain we are in solving a problem. We say that life is filled with uncertainities. Furthermore, as HR professionals, people say that we need to deal with "Uncertainities". But how exactly do you do that?

This subjective issue needs some objective thinking!

To answer the above question, we need to first clearly differentiate and understand "Certainity" from "Uncertainity".

Everything is uncertain... Everything is Gray! Nothing is in Black and White.... But people seldom understand that Black and White together give rise to Gray.... This means that a combination of various certainties lead to uncertainty.

For example, I like 3 girls and they also like me... If I try I am certain that I can marry any one of them... But I am uncertain which one to marry... Please note at this point that 3 certainties give rise to 1 uncertainty! If 2 of the 3 girls are not certain to marry me, then there is no uncertainty! Which means that there can be no possible combination of certainties to make me Uncertain!

Thus dealing with uncertainty also involves dealing with certainty.... (I mean, if we are certain about which certainity to go ahead with, then it is a certainity that there is no uncertainity!) So you deal with certainity first and subsequently deal with uncertainity! This is quite similar to "Right to practice any profession also includes right not to practice any profession (Ref: Excel Wear Vs Union of India)" under Article 19 of the Constitution of India (If I am not mistaken).

This means that Uncertainty has Certainty within it.... This leads us to a conclusion that there is nothing uncertain and nothing certain.

Thus Certainty and Uncertainty are time bound. We are not certain of what is going to happen in the future. Thus it all boils down to the limiting value of the present moment where Uncertainty gives way to certainty... Where the endless combinations of certainty fight amongst themselves till all of them disintegrate / Integrate into one. There resolves the confusion of Uncertainty Vs Certainty!

Hope this gives some "Certainity" on the issue of "Uncertainity"!
