Can you relate? Have you ever "mounted a wild elephant" by making decisions that you didn't think through well enough?
How much extra work is there really to thinking through consequences
and being aware? When I'm coaching, people sometimes think it takes too
much effort. I ask "How much effort is it to get off a wild elephant
and maybe even to recover when the elephant forces you off the ride?" “Humans beings always do the most intelligent thing…after they’ve tried every stupid alternative and none of them have worked.” ― Richard Buckminster Fuller
