“Set aside a half hour or an hour to rethink the way you make decisions...” — Stephen J. Dubner Quote

Set aside a half hour or an hour to rethink the way you make decisions, the habits you have, the biases you may have.

What motivates me is true talent, it's golden when talent acknowledge talent.
