From July 27, 2011
If we are to learn to improve the quality of the decisions we make, we need to accept the mysterious nature of our snap judgments. (Malcolm Gladwell, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, 2005)

  27. I'm all about snap judgements and snap decisions. As an engineer with great analytical skills that surprises people. I have found to trust my gut more than the numbers. If the numbers don't agree, with my gut, then I have missed something in creating the numbers.
