Không thích cũng phải làm

so sánh các lựa chọn nhé...
-----
trích dẫn hôm nay… is from page 145 of the original 1960 Harvard University Press edition of Frank Knight’s collection of lectures, delivered in 1958 at the University of Virginia, titled Intelligence and Democratic Action:


The first commandment (điều răn, lời dạy bảo), with respect to any intelligent action is self-evident: “compare the alternatives,” (so sánh các lựa chọn) beginning with understanding what they are. But that is what people dislike doing (không thích làm). And the second and third are, appraise the alternatives, and then act on the basis of the best knowledge or judgment that is to be had. The basic axiom (châm ngôn, phương ngôn) is that it is better not to act unless it can be done intelligently; (thà không hành động cho đến khi có thể được tiến hành một cách thông minh) as people are and as the world is, the odds are strong that bad results on balance, rather than good, will follow from acting ignorantly (ngu dốt, dốt nát), at random – and acting on false knowledge is of course worse; but unhappily it is more common.
