A short YouTube monologue (by Carol Wazeter) advising listeners to pause before committing to decisions. The speaker reflects on tendency to decide quickly, sometimes proudly, and notes that quick decisions can be harmful—encouraging taking a minute to ask unanswered questions, seek necessary information, and reconsider yes/no choices so one doesn't mistakenly accept or decline opportunities.
Sometimes you can just take a minute and take a hot minute. Sometimes when you really don't think something's going to work and just say, hey, am I sure that I've actually thought this all the way through? Are there some questions I haven't asked? Are there some answers I still need to go searching for in order to see if I've given this the full chance? Because there's some people I guarantee that have turned down things, and I'm one of them. Sometimes I move so fast, I'm proud of being a quick decision maker. That's not always a superpower. Sometimes Kryptonite, right? Because I say no to something, or I say yes to something. Something that should have been the opposite answer. I should have taken more time to either say no when I said yes, or say yes when I said no.
