#500 toss a coin

It was Homecoming weekend on campus and both alums and reminiscing abounded.  One alum was showing her husband our library.  "This is where I sat at a table with five index cards," she said.  "Each one had a major written on it.  I tossed a coin and wherever it landed is what I was going to major in." 

I asked her what the outcome was.  "Sociology," she said. "And it has worked out well for me."

Sometimes we expend a lot of emotional energy and time agonizing over decisions.  At the end of the day, if we're choosing between a set of good alternatives tossing a coin may be just as effective as a way to end the angst.
