The traveller arrived at a junction. He was tired after a long walk. At the junction there were two roads. One small and unpaved, one steep and winding. Which road to choose?

The bagger thanked the kind lady and held the dollar bill tight in his hand. What should he do? Buy a cup of coffee or buy a lottery ticket?

The crowd roared and the football player placed the ball on the penalty spot. Which corner to aim at? Left or right? Or no corner at all?


We all make decisions through the day. Good ones, poor ones. Some decisions are good but turn out bad, some seem bad but turn out well. And the next morning we wake up and the world is still there.

It reminds me of this beautiful line in a Bob Dylan song:

In the final end he won the wars. After losin' every battle.-Idiot Wind Bob Dylan

Make a decision, any decision and have a great day!
