Quote by Jerry Gillies

I have made decisions that turned out to be wrong, and went back and did it another way, and still took less time than many who procrastinated over the original decision.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of making timely decisions and highlights the incredible processing power of the human brain. It suggests that even if we make wrong choices at first, it is often more efficient to quickly rectify them and try new approaches rather than procrastinating and overthinking. By taking too much time to reach important decisions, we potentially waste the immense potential of our brains to process and analyze vast amounts of information. Therefore, the quote encourages us to trust our cognitive abilities and make decisive choices without unnecessary delays.

Do not let yourselves be discouraged or embittered by the smallness of the success you are likely to achieve in trying to make life better. You certainly would not be able, in a single generation, to create an earthly paradise. Who could expect that? But, if you make life ever so little better, you will have done splendidly, and your lives will have been worthwhile.
