Much of my work as a coach includes helping people make an important decision, such as “If Iˈm at a crossroads in my career, which path should I follow？” “If Iˈm considering offers, which one should I accept？”

Difficult decisions like these remind me of a comment made by Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems for years during a lecture while I was in a business school at Stanford. He was asked how he made decisions and responded, “Itˈs important to make good decisions. But I spend much less time and energy worrying about making the right decision and much more time and energy ensuring that any decision I make turns out right.”

In fact, before we make any decisions, particularly those difficult ones, weˈre anxious to focus on identifying the “best” option because of the risk of being “wrong”. But a side effect of that mindset(观念模式) is that we pay too much attention to the moment of choice and lose sight of everything that follows. Itˈs what happens next that finally determines whether a given decision was “right”．

Another aspect of this mindset is that our focus on making the “right” decision can easily lead to paralysis(麻痹), because the options weˈre choosing among are so difficult to rank in the first place. How can we definitively determine in advance what career path will be “the best”， or what job offer we should accept? Obviously, we canˈt.

Focusing on the effort after our decision not only helps us succeed, but also reminds us that we play a role in every outcome. Our control should be in our day-to-day activities rather than in our one-time decision.
