Improving Judgment

Most will admit to a certain degree of forgetfulness, but who will admit to making consistently bad decisions, or to having bad judgment?
·         Seek diverse friends and diverse opinions.
·         Run away when experts agree on something.
·         Validate your convictions, no matter how carefully developed based on best data.
·         Look for input from the odd balls.
·         If everyone were right, we all would be driving Mercedes’s or BMW’s, even Bentley’s.
·         Eradicate every cognitive filter you discover during self-exploration.
·         Excessive optimism makes you take more risks than you should or can afford.
·         What is your Plan “B”?
·         Try not to be just another sheep, if you can, by deciding based on what makes someone else happy.
