Navigating Life Decisions: One-Way vs. Two-Way Doors
When faced with major life decisions, it is crucial to differentiate between one-way and two-way doors. Often, the fear of uncertainty stems from mistaken assumptions that choices are irreversible. The concept of two-way doors, exemplified by Richard Branson's approach with Virgin Atlantic's launch, highlights the ability to backtrack if dissatisfied.
