There will come a time in your life when you need to make difficult decisions. Decisions about life, love and everything in between.
In those moments you will feel the pressure, fear of uncertainty, and self doubt all come together like a rolling ball of pressurefearofuncertaintyandselfdoubt.
So what do you do in those moments?
Flip a coin.
There's nothing like putting your life in the balance of a 50 sen coin. Just ask, heads or tails. Or in the case of the 50 sen coin, the flower or the wau. Whatever floats your boat.
And then flip. Make your decision. And blame it all on fate.
A little too simplistic? Well, yeah. That's the point. The Chinese have this thing called the i-ching which is basically the same idea. Except you flip a bunch of coins a bunch of times and try to then decipher what it means.
Too much work for me. I kinda like the idea of parsimony.
So if you have ever wondered how some of the movers and shakers of the world make the decisions that they do, this is it. It's not informed or researched decisions. It's the flip of a coin.
So flip a coin if you're in doubt. Really.
What's the worst could happen?
