A Sunk Feeling

The one thing less likely to make a right than two wrongs is one wrong mulishly pursued.

We pick an option , make a decision, chart a course. And then it turns out that we have picked, made or charted incorrectly.

If this is a decision in business, there always is the choice to go back, reevaluate and rechart the process and get out from the sunk costs. Investments of time and money than can be made up.

What should we do, if this is a decision in life?

Investments of time that we cant get back . A stake in the past should not affect the decisions about the future. Making a mistake and not admitting , it is just hurting yourself twice. Sticking it out, despite the wrong choice , it is just hurting yourself over and over.

A foolish consistency, An indecision. A sunk feeling
