“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.”
— Theodore Roosevelt
Simplified Meaning:
When you face a decision, the most important action you can take is to choose what you believe is the right option. Doing nothing is the worst choice because it means you aren't trying to solve the problem at all. Imagine you're at a crossroads while driving: turning left or right could eventually get you to your destination, but sitting there will only waste time and achieve nothing. Taking action helps move things forward and can lead to improvement, while staying idle means no progress happens. For example, if you're unsure about taking a new job, deciding to take it or rejecting it will give you a clear path, but not making a decision leaves you stuck and possibly missing out on a good opportunity. So, it's better to make a choice and move forward rather than do nothing and remain in the same spot.
