A '''prediction''' is a statement or claim that a particular [[event]] will occur in the future in more certain terms than a forecast. The etymology of the word is Latin (præ-, "before," and dicere, "to say"). Howard H. Stevenson writes: "Prediction is at least two [[things]]: Important and hard." Important, because we have to [[act]], and hard because we have to [[realize]] the future we want, and what is the best way to get there.[1]
