Something You Should Know
When to Take a Risk or Play it Safe & Why You Need More Muscle

Yeah, and we will always have those regrets. It would be impossible to live a life with none of those regrets. But boy, if you can try out some of those things after all, I think in general, you're happy you did, even if it puts you through a little bit of awkwardness or some uncertainty in the moment.

Yeah, I mean, this goes back in part to what we were talking about earlier with the idea of an explorer's gene, that some people really are wired to enjoy uncertainty and novelty more than others. And there's also, I think, we have to recognize that even within a given individual. I'm very exploratory in some aspects, and I like my routines in other parts of my life.

And so there are times, depending on the context, where I might be more exploratory. And the example that springs to mind for me is, There's all this research on when should you take a parking spot versus... This is part of the exploring research. When should you grab the parking spot you see versus keep driving towards your destination and hope you get a parking spot that's closer to you?

And you can do all these sophisticated calculations about, well, how many... What is the rate of empty parking spots? How far are you from the destination? But for me... I hate parallel parking under pressure with cars behind me, and I don't mind walking.

So if I see a parking spot that's really wide and I can go in front ways rather than backing into it, I take it, and I don't care what the math says. And to your point, that's my anxiety about parallel parking that makes it worth taking what I've got rather than gambling that there'll be something better down the road.

Something You Should Know
When to Take a Risk or Play it Safe & Why You Need More Muscle

This idea of an explore-exploit dilemma, it comes from a Stanford University management professor named James March, who wrote about it back in the 90s. And he was talking about it in a corporate context. Should companies invest in R&D, or should they invest their money in marketing their current product line?
