Approaching Decisions' Story.
- i came acrossthis little story and throught i should share it.
A woman comes out of her office building after work on a dark winter evening. She sees one of her colleagues under a street light in the parking lot seemingly searching for something. She approaches him and asks if she can help. He explains that he has lost his car keys and would very much appreciate another set of eyes.
After some time of searching, the woman becomes convinced that the keys are not there and suggests another strategy. She asks where he last saw his keys, so they could trace the path back to that point. Recognizing immediately where she is going with this line of questioning, he replies: "Oh, I know where I lost them. Over there." And, he points to a dark spot across the parking lot under a tree.
The woman, flabbergasted, says: "If you lost the keys over there, why are you looking for them over here?"
To which the man replies: "Because the light's better."
As absurd as this story sounds, but this is the way we approach many of our decisions.
