Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of relying on data when making decisions. When we have factual information (data), it is wise to analyze and consider it to gain a clear understanding of a situation. Conversely, if we lack substantial evidence and only have subjective viewpoints (opinions), it is more rational to rely on our intuition and reasoning (mind). The quote encourages us to prioritize objectivity over subjectivity, in order to make informed and logical choices.
