Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #14: We Almost Always Have Imperfect Information on Hand with Which to Make Decisions.
   Pretty much every real life decision that comes up can of an infinite amount of directions. You simply can’t calculate or know for sure what will happen based on your actions. There are way too many variables. Just to name a few, there are reactions of anyone involved, unexpected setbacks (bad weather, a car accident), and your level of training may not have prepared you to make a good decision in the first place. How people deal with this inability to know what will happen is super important to their life success. We can start by looking at how to tackle the few examples I mentioned above. We need to learn how to read people better ,. and know if they can help us to take the right actions. We need to avoid setbacks as much as possible, perhaps by driving extra carefully in bad weather. We also need to be aware of our own training and background, and gauge if we are prepared for any given challenge. If we are under-prepared, we need to make it known or seek out help in making decisions.
   
   Something important to realize is that instinctual or intuitive processes may carry more weight than trying to think logically through every problem that comes up. We often see intuitive people as less logical and less accurate in their approach, byt the reality may be different. People who make quick intuitive decisions often realize that there is a lot of imperfect information they have to deal with. This means they don’t have the complete information to know what to do. To have the complete information would literally mean to see the future and know what the outcome of any action would be. None of us can do this. Often times experts can make intuitive decisions well, but novices need more time to try to evaluate the scenario. We have to learn to deal with the fact that we can never know for sure what the results of our actions will be. Get used to making decisions with imperfect information on hand. It is a valuable skill to have.
