Decisions, decisions, decisions..

I have to make a couple of very important decisions that might have a big impact on my life and career. I think the best way to handle this difficult and important period of my life is to take some time and carry out due-diligence on the opportunities and, once gathered enough elements to properly understand pros and cons of each potential decision, follow my instinct and GO FOR IT! And then stick to it.

As part of the due diligence process, I’m talking to some people I trust and admire. Their help has already been very useful, they provided practical as well as more philosophical “big picture” tips and ideas.

This from my best German friend, M&A transactional lawyer T.


The Road Not Taken
Poem lyrics of The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
