When You Come To A Fork In The Road, Take It

Yogi Berra

In case you didn't know, Yogi Berra was a New York Yankee All Star and Hall Of Fame baseball player and manager. However, what he was best known for was his crazy quotes. Below are some of them. Believe it or not, Yogi didn't make them up. They just came out of his mouth when he was interviewed by the press.

1. When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

2. You can observe a lot by just watching.

3. It ain’t over till it’s over.

4. It’s like déjà vu all over again.

5. No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded.

6. Baseball is 90% mental and the other half is physical.

7. A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore.

8. Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t come to yours.

9. We made too many wrong mistakes.

10. Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken.

11. You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.

12. You wouldn’t have won if we’d beaten you.

13. I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four.

14. The future ain’t what it used to be.

The reason I like the quote "When You Come To A Fork In The Road, Take It" best is because it says to me that when you come to the fork you just can't sit there and contemplate your navel, you have to make a decision.

In my book "Never Buy A Hat If Your Feet Are Cold" I state that if you make more right decisions than wrong decisions, you're doing good - however, no decision is a wrong decision.

We worry too much that we will make the wrong decision. Doing so, puts us in a deep freeze. When you're in that state you will probably not make any decision. For example, you know the marriage is over, but you're too afraid (frozen) your decision will be the wrong one. Sooo, you stay in a unhappy loveless marriage pissed off that you didn't have the strength to make that tough decision.

As you know, I made that decision twice. I did it for my happiness and it sure worked out for me. Don't get me wrong, I made plenty of wrong decisions. But, I'm proud of myself for making the decisions I made. I'm proud that I didn't let my fear stop me from making decisions in both business and in life.

What about YOU? You know you have to make a decision for your happiness. Sooo,
