Quote of the Day

We often equate the information we have with the information that should guide a decision. This creates two difficulties. First, we assume that what we don’t already know isn’t worth knowing. We stop looking for information when there may still be important things to learn. Secondly, we think that because we have a certain pierce of information, it should figure into the decision: “If it is true, it is relevant.” Years are spent fighting over what happened yesterday for every day that is spent figuring out what out to be done tomorrow.
