I consider myself to be rather good in my field. Which is exactly why I take every bit of data I can get before I provide my opinion or decide something.
Every situation is different, facts change, so I have to evaluate my opinion each and every time (which is hownypu learn and bevome better). And the more data I have, the easier this is.
- nonrandomstring 3y agoLike me, you opine and decide. Sounds like you and I are both experts who take advantage of all the tools in the box, numerical, computational and messy wetware. Sorry if you may have taken umbrage with my depiction of "dull headed data slaves". What I was referring to there are people who only use the numbers. For them there are no opinions or decisions. Only calculations. And as per TFA, it is that mentality that stymies innovation and good decision making.
- hef19898 3y agoOn that, we absolutely agree! Im the end so, those who let some calculation decide for them and those who just throw solutions at the wall, are equally bad at decision making. I know, because I made my share of bad decisions, especially early on in my career.
- nonrandomstring 3y agoYes me too. All my royal screw-ups came of hubris and imbalance between measurable facts and feelings I ignored. Respex.
- hef19898 3y agoI usually added a fair share of not listening to advice from people I didn't want to listen to for various reasons. Now I try my best to seperate the message from the messeneger as much as I humanly can. Part of the learning experience, I guess?
