Your last point hit it; make hte decision and act. all to often people fail to survive because they make no decision until the decision has been made for them - a sort of decison itself, the wrong one. Often this comes from failure to recognize objective reality for what it is, a critical situation.  Survival in businss has lesser consequences, but the decisions  process is the same.

If only our politicians would use this method when making decisions with our money, I think that we would be OK. Very interesting reading.
