“Most decisions should probably be made with somewhere around 70% of the information you wish you had. If you wait for 90%, in most cases, you’re probably being slow.”

Simplified Meaning:

When making decisions, it's often better to act with enough information rather than waiting for all the details. Imagine you're organizing a family trip. You have found a great hotel, checked the weather, and know the main attractions, but you don’t have every single piece of information, like the exact time of sunset on each day. If you wait to gather every tiny bit of info, you might miss out on booking the best hotel or securing tickets for popular attractions because others will act faster. It's similar in other areas of life, like starting a project at work or choosing a school. Acting when you have a good amount of information, but not all of it, helps you stay ahead and make timely decisions. So, don't let the fear of not knowing everything hold you back; make the best choice with what you have and move forward confidently.
