Aphorisms: Belief, Uncertainty, Action

I've compiled another edition of aphorisms from recent travels and found a thought that repeats with unchanged essence but different angle of attack, with four years trading psychological assessment for urgency of quick action:

2008:
Breaking the stalemate -- taking decisions is a race against the dissolution of time. Waiting rarely provides greater information for a wiser choice, but typically is a passive means of discarding opportunity.

2012:
Imperfect information is usually good enough for taking decisions and avoids the death spiral stall of waiting for what is unlikely to arrive.

We can discard information for clarity because the reason for the effect doesn't matter, only the function of the effect. We've seen the pattern before and know how it can play out given all possible decisions -- the rest is trivia. Thus we move forward to cast destiny into motion.
