And see how something is gonna turn out.
And so that makes these decisions really hard in terms of their timing.
So I'm I'm sure, Mike, that you've had that feeling before.
Of you know, oh
I wish I knew then what I know now.
Right.
And that's that feeling of the influence of hidden information, of the fact that when we decide things.
We don't have all the facts at the time of the decision, and new information is going to reveal itself to us after the fact.
But this is where we get into the problem, which is exactly what you, you know, were asking about in the question, which is, but don't we, you know, we kind of never know for sure, right?
And the answer is yeah, we don't ever know for sure.
And so what that makes us do is stick to things in general.
Usually, not always, but usually we stick to things too long.
Because we want to know.
That there's no other choice but to walk away.
And when we know for certain, in reality that means there is no choice.
Because it means that we've already butted up against the failure.
It means that we're in a job that's so intolerable by that point that we like can't even get out of bed.
Because we're so miserable and we're using up all of our sick days and vacation days trying to avoid going into work.
And that is long after the time that quitting would have been correct to do.
Except if we quit when it's actually right, we're quitting in the this sort of cloud of uncertainty that we're just really uncomfortable with.
