00:00How to make choices? Experiment. Go close to your choices. Touch them, feel them, live them for a

00:06while. Don't commit yourself to anything too quickly. Remain in the experimentation phase

00:13for as long as possible. Go close, very close, but only as close that would not make the closeness

00:22irreversible. Go close to something just as a spring is pulled toward something. The spring,

00:29if you pull it, would go in the direction of the pull, but would always retain the option

00:37to revert, right? That's the way you should try out your options in life. It's obviously an

00:44uncomfortable feeling to be oscillating between options, but what's far worse is committing

00:53yourself to an unworthy option.
