In the book
A good decision can still turn out badly, and a reckless one can get lucky — so weigh yourself on the quality of your process, not merely on how it happened to turn out. Which leads to the third trap, the sunk cost: do not anchor today's choice to yesterday's spent effort or your wish to look consistent — feel free to have no attachment to your past decisions, and simply make the best of the situation you actually find yourself in now. And the fourth is outsourcing your judgment. Seek counsel, yes — but I started relying on myself precisely because so much of the advice I once took turned out not to be in my interest. — Decisions & Choices (Decision/Choice/Focus/Forethought/Consequences)
