Nell McShane-Wolfhart: 我认为在决策过程中，后悔是一种非常强大的情绪，人们总是试图避免不舒服的感觉。因此，我建议大家更快地做决定，因为花太多时间做决定，最终会比草率决定更后悔。失去时间的痛苦通常比后悔的痛苦更强烈。我不鼓励人们慢下来做决定，因为做决定的时间长短与决定的质量并不真正相关。经过一段时间的思考后，更多的信息并不会为决策增加任何价值，只会让决策变得更困难。所以，我建议那些难以做决定的人，将他们认为需要做决定的时间减半。我们应该接受，我们只是在当时用我们拥有的信息做出我们最好的猜测。能够接受用当时所掌握的信息做出最佳决定，并接受无法预知结果的人，会感到更少的遗憾。
