„Whenever I face a hard decision or a risky situation in life (personally or professionally), all my thinking, all my analysis, all my planning can be boiled down to four simple questions:1. What is the best thing that can happen if I do this?2. What is the worst thing that can happen if I do this?3. What is the best thing that can happen if I don’t do it?4. What is the worst thing that can happen if I don’t do it?“
