“Most decisions are two-way doors. If you make the wrong choice, you can walk back out, pick another door, and try again. You spend a little time on the first choice, realize it's not right, and move on. However, some decisions are one-way doors. These are highly consequential and hard to reverse. Once you go through, there's no going back. These decisions must be made deliberately and carefully. If there’s another way to analyze them, you should slow down and take the time to do so”
— Jeff Bezos
Simplified Meaning:
Most choices can be changed if they don't work out. If you make a mistake, you can choose differently and try again. These mistakes only cost you some time. But some choices are very important and can't be undone. For these choices, you need to think slowly and carefully. If you can, you should look at these choices from all sides before deciding.
