In the long term, we tend to under-estimate. But hey, if it was easy to foretell the future, this would be a much different world!

It's odd how what we think we'll do or have done in a given time period and what actually happens can diverge so widely (and not necessarily in a bad way). When I was in school during the 80's and 90's, every textbook and teacher liked to project just what would happen or be accomplished by the year 2000. Little to none of it actually happened! Perhaps a silver-lining to our perception of time "flying by" would be that we become more and more selective of just how we spend our time. We become more action-oriented, take risks that allow us to grow and, as a result, help the world grow in new ways too. And the best part is that we do all of this practically subconsciously...no New Year's resolution required : ) The last decade has indeed seemed to fly by at an ever-accelerating pace.
