now with the show of hands please tell
me how many of you here have faced the
great impending decisions of our lives
the confusing riddles of society or the
massive questions of being and said
something along the lines of I’ll do it
tomorrow come on raise your hands be
honest all right now how many of you
have faced those results from the
inability to choose I’d said something
along the lines of dang why sorry
or even again I’ll do it tomorrow
come on same question we know we’ve all
done it now if you guys haven’t realized
it yet this inability to choose this
indecision it’s caused a lot of problems
just ask the teachers around here I
changed my speech two days before this
event saying it was troublesome would be
an understatement let me tell you a
little story I was once told something a
few words no more no less and upon these
words I was to decide and so I thought
and I thought and I thought but I only
became more confused and so I came up
with a simple solution to help me decide
I flipped the coin
unfortunately I decided too late and as
the great Michael Scott once said you
missed a hundred percent of the shots
you don’t take
and in this case I missed however with
this loss came a realization an epiphany
which can best be summarized with this
quote more has been lost to indecision
than has ever been lost to making the
wrong decision and to this I truly agree
whoever to my understanding some of you
might not I’m not saying you guys are
wrong in some cases you guys are
absolutely correct however I don’t think
you guys would say going hungry is
better than choosing a restaurant
ironically enough flipping coins isn’t
really the best of Austrians and it
isn’t really that helpful especially
when things are more than just heads or
tails I don’t think any of us could
truly use a coin to choose what course
to take what universities to attend to
or what business plan is best for our
future unless you want to be that doctor
that doesn’t know what like what the
mitochondria is thing is most things are
not two sides of a coin out there beyond
the doors of those halls like choices
decisions and questions which only
increase in number confusion and
difficulty why evolution not Bigfoot
evolution and to those who didn’t get it
I’m talking about the metamorphosis of
our world through time we have taken
great leaps in transportation
communication and technology all of
which have resulted in a more open and
accessible world which then resulted in
a lot more choices if you don’t believe
me here are some facts there are about
fourteen thousand six hundred banks
worldwide eighty-seven thousand drink
combinations in Starbucks alone and over
four hundred and eighty million products
on Amazon
most of which I’m pretty sure weren’t
available when the world looked like
this right now
we were able to choose from a lot more
colleges a lot more schools a lot more
drinks and even a lot more jam that’s
right
damn thanks to this wonder of must fruit
I can now confidently say that a lot of
choices is a bad thing here we are back
in the year 2000 2002 rather know and
psychologists mark leper and Sheena
anger published a jamming study pun
intended in the food market they set up
a display table on this display table 24
varieties of Jam it attracted a lot of
attention and anyone who tried the jam
got $1 coupons of anyone on another day
a similar table was set up this time
only six varieties of Jam though it
didn’t attract as much attention people
who saw the smaller display were ten
times as likely to buy than those who
saw the latter see what I mean size
doesn’t matter even though that’s not
the topic of my speech decisions are
hard and with them a lot can be
transformed and as Duncan as the late
Uncle Ben once told us with great power
comes great responsibility and so in
this context if the great power of
choice comes into your hands there is a
certain responsibility to make them of
course it’s stressful I have my boards
next year and the choice of colleges is
in the least bit comforting with choices
comes transformation the sky is the
limit
but along with it comes fear and doubts
but these problems we have to get past
it
but it’s not all doom and gloom our
world today wouldn’t be what it is and
would be a lot more boring if we didn’t
have our movies our social media our GRA
scrumptious food or even our anime well
at least that’s my personal opinion what
I’m getting to hear is that with the
change in our world it brings both
pleasures and hardships some greater and
more prominent than others thing is with
this change comes problems some problems
include indecision the inability to
choose others being angry from arguments
depression from negligence or envy from
accomplishment each of which have their
solutions
all of which not being to fight the
change but to adapt along with it for my
topic of indecision let’s be the people
who takes those shots will take those
shots shoot forward and for all you know
you’ll be standing there in glory as
everything works out as you succeed or
you could stand there sad that you
weren’t able to reach your goal but you
would know that you tried your best
you didn’t let someone else do it for
you both very plausible both two sides
of a coin both only possible if you make
a choice and with this I cut my speech
short I bid you all farewell mayor
decisions be easy your future be bright
finding new horizons let us transform
for the better good day and thank you
