"Winging It" is an expression used when an individual decides not to properly prepare for a circumstance in which preparation is typically advised. The proper preparation is disregarded presumably because of either the person cannot correctly manage their time in order to make room for the preparation process, or the person simply declared, "fuck it."

Example: A university student is caught in a predicament when they realize they have three different exams scheduled on the same day. The student decides to properly study for the first two exams but purposefully neglects to study for the third due to limited time and fatigue. When a friend of the student asks if they studied hard for the third exam, the student replies, "Nah, I'm just gonna wing it."

When using the "Winging It" strategy, it is often like a person is taking a gamble because most of the time it is unsuccessful. So why is it used at all? Well, when an individual is debating on "Winging It", they are typically not in an ambitious state of mind, and would preferably take their chances than putting the required effort in.

An individual who is prone to "Winging It" might be assumed by others to be "lazy", but this is not always the case. Often times, the individual considers the value of the task at hand, and if they find the task lacks importance to their life, they choose not to waste their time on it. Therefore, deciding to just "Wing It". Alternatively, the individual could find the task to be simple enough that preparation would be practically unnecessary.

"Winging It" involves relying on one's own intuition to the presented activity, which means that whatever the result of the matter is, is a result of the true knowledge that person contains. So when thought about, shouldn't "Winging It" be the preferred strategy when testing the knowledge of a young student?

For to study for an examination is to cram information into the mind for quick memorization of what was not previously known, and the crammed information usually does not withstand and is eventually forgotten about, but the information that was already lodged in the person's brain and was not studied was the information that the mind found important.

Therefore whatever is important to the person is what they already know. If the person knows nothing of the subject, then the subject is not important to them, and what is of unimportance to that person serves no purpose in their life other than to waste time and space.

So how can a person achieve success in subjects which their minds find unimportant? Instead of compacting empty knowledge in a few days before the examination, for example, one should address the subject as a whole and ask "why"? When the significance of the subject is found, it now holds a place in the mind.

So now if one use's the "Winging It" strategy it should be successful because the subject now has a purpose. As mentioned before however, the "Winging It" strategy is often not successful. Why is that? The best explanation is that the significance of the subject was simply never found. Furthermore, this could explain that most of the subjects in which we test our knowledge for do not serve a reasonable purpose in our lives.

Whether or not this is always true is uncertain, but in various circumstances, it holds decent validation. Therefore, in conclusion, shouldn't we be able to successfully "Wing It" more often?

I dunno though. I'm just wingin' it here.
