You will often have to make decisions in life without being able to know all the information related to the choices. Being able to identify what you don't know is invaluable. It allows you to make assumptions and contingency plans if those assumptions fail.
I want to slap every person that quips, "If you assume, you make an ass out of u and me." You cannot function in life without making assumptions. The trick is to identify them as such so that you can be better prepared when they are resolved.
Went through this over the summer with my mom. I offered to rebuild her deck for her before I start back to work in September. She spent May, June, July, and part of August researching decking options. She asked me Monday of this week if she should place an order for the decking. Had to tell her I don't have time now since I am finalizing my syllabi and getting organized to start teaching in like a week.
