"DECISIVENESS"
People say some really funny things. The leader of the pack is Yogi Berra. He is reported as saying such things as:
"The other teams could make trouble for us if they win."
"A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore."
"You can observe a lot just by watching"
"I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did."
My favorite: "When you come to the fork in the road, take it!"
Stupid statement, but great advice. Often we come to the forks of the road and then just stand there and waste time. Make your choice. Accept responsibility for your action. Not making your decision in a timely fashion is in itself a wrong decision. Some things won't wait. They must be dealt with now.
Gather the facts and then make your move. Hesitancy can be costly!
