I am just reading a book called "Valley Boy" by Tom Perkins who was/is one of the leading venture capitalists the helped establish Silicon Valley.
It is quite an interesting read.
Here is one tidbit. Perkins said that his partner (Kleiner) was famous for his succinct pearls of wisdom. One of which was
" The more difficult the decision, the less it matters what you choose"
A very counter intuitive thought since many of us spend excessive time tomented by difficult decisions.
