Memorable Quotes from How to Decide

"The key to making good decisions is not to focus on what you want to happen, but to focus on what the decision will look like over time."

Translation (Sinhala): "හොඳ තීරණ ගෙනීමේ කී හැඟීම වන්නේ ඔබට සිදු වීමට අවශ්‍ය වුනේ කුමක් ද, නමුත් කාලය අනුව තීරණය කුමක් ලෙස දිස්වනු ඇතැයි මනාව වසඳවීමයි."

Translation (Tamil): "நல்ல முடிவுகளை எடுக்கும் முக்கியம்சொல்லும், நீங்கள் என்ன எதிர்பார்க்கின்றீர்கள் என்பதைக் கவனிக்காதே, அது காலாவதி ஏற்படும் போது முடிவை எப்படி காணமுடியும் என்பதை கவனியுங்கள்."

"When we make a decision, we are choosing a future that we have not yet experienced. And the uncertainty that surrounds that future is something we need to embrace, not fear."
