Title: Just Make More Decisions

One day while complaining about a bad decision I had made in business, my Dad overheard me discussing it with someone and called me into his office.

When I explained that I had made a bad decision that had cost our Company money, he said :

“Son, what percentage of decisions that you make, do you think you make correct?”

I told him :

“About 85% correct.”

He said:

“Well, I think you make a whole lot more than 85% correct.

I think it’s more like 95 % correct,

but even if the lower figure were correct,

Just Make More Decisions,

the Statistics will Take Care of You.”
