When you have to be somewhere at a certain time, take into account the realities of life - not the realities of the perfect world you long for. Things are what they are, and will be what they will be, so what is to be gained by deceiving yourself?
Perhaps you're a sympathetic soul who is thinking, "But how could a person possibly have known there would be a thousand people trying to get through security all at once on that particular day?" Answer: It's not my job - or yours - to know such things in advance. Most people aren't clairvoyant, but everyone can be prudent.
And prudence means factoring in plenty of time for unforeseen circumstances . Everyone reading this article knows exactly what I'm talking about - an accident that backs up traffic for an hour... not being able to find a parking space at the airport... and, yes, being confronted with a thousand people waiting to get through security.
The reality is that unforeseen circumstances are an integral part of everyday life. And the only way you can exert any degree of control over them is to make the necessary allowances in advance.
