Over the weekend, we were on a video call with my daughter.
She mentioned she wanted to do something

You just never saw the part that happens quietly inside my head before I take any serious decision.
Before every major decision, I ask myself two questions:
1. What do I stand to lose?

That is how responsible people should think.
Decision-making is not about bravery alone
It is about exposure.
The impact of losing something and the probability of that loss happening should shape your response.

Someone responsible for salaries, family stability, reputation, and years of hard work CANNOT MOVE carelessly
