In this short monologue, speaker Shanli Liu emphasizes that early decisions are always made with incomplete information, so the goal should be to make a directionally correct "best‑bad" guess rather than wait for a perfect answer that requires perfect data. She argues that the act of deciding itself creates a feedback loop: the decision generates information that can be used to refine future choices. Liu warns against the common tendency to obsess over finding the perfect business, job, or partner, noting that each step taken provides illumination for the next, whereas staying idle in the dark leads to stagnation. The overall message is to embrace imperfect decisions as the catalyst for learning and improvement.

Chapters

Almost all decisions that you make in the beginning, you have incomplete data and you have to make decisions anyways. And so it's growing comfortable with taking your best bad guess and being directionally correct rather than searching for a perfect answer, because a perfect answer assumes perfect information, which you can only have after you begin. In some ways, making a decision is the perfect answer so that you can get the information to then improve the quality of the decision later. And I think that one loop is what a lot of people miss out on, is they obsess for years sometimes on the pick the perfect business, the perfect job, the perfect mate, when most of the times beginning each step illuminates the next step, which means the information, the feedback that you get from walking gives you more about where to walk than trying to sit at the beginning in the darkness and pick a direction.
