Unfortunately, there is no foolproof way to avoid making The Big Mistake, but a method that I find works very well is what I refer to as “looking backward from the future.” Here’s how it works:
1. Project yourself into the future before you act.
2. Picture the worst possible consequences of your actions.
3. Pretend to look over your shoulder from the future – at where you are today.
4. If Step 2 is much worse than what you see in Step 3, you would be wise to rethink your plans. Put another way, if you’re not prepared to live with the worst-possible consequences of your contemplated action, take a pass.

This may be another way of saying above and below the waterline.
Have to think about the two and compare.
