I was actually looking for the 3-6-Mafia film "Choices" but this is good too.
[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]From the article on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choices">choice</a>: [quote]<b>Types of Choices</b> There are four types of decisions, although they can be expressed in different ways. Brian Tracy, who often uses enumerated lists in his talks, breaks them down into:[1] 1. Command decisions, which can only be made by you, as the "Commander in Chief"; or owner of a company. 2. Delegated decisions, which may be made by anyone, such as the color of the bike shed, and should be delegated, as the decision must be made but the choice is inconsequential. 3. Avoided decisions, where the outcome could be so severe that the choice should not be made, as the consequences can not be recovered from if the wrong choice is made. This will most likely result in negative actions, such as death. 4. "No-brainer" decisions, where the choice is so obvious that only one choice can reasonably be made.[/quote] Also, someone found an image which perfectly captures the abstract concept of choice: <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/48/Hard_to_make_the_right_choice.jpg"> Specifically, the choice between oral, vaginal, anal, and double anal. But enough about the incredibly hot picture - if I'm right, you're still thinking about that Brian Tracy guy and his pioneering work in the field of enumerated lists. Would it surprise you to learn... Brain Tracy never finished highschool? In fact, if my math is correct, Brian Tracy never even finished <i>middle</i> school. Here's some background from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Tracy">Brain Tracy wiki page</a>: [quote]<b>Early Life</b> After dropping out of school before graduation, Tracy spent several years as a laborer. He then got a job on a tramp steamer and traveled around the world for eight years, eventually visiting more than eighty countries on five continents. Since he could no longer find a job as a laborer, he went into sales, struggling at first. He decided to ask other successful salesmen and then emulate them. By the end of his first year, he attained the status of top salesman <i>[top salesman!!]</i>. After his second year, he was made a Vice President in charge of 95 people. At the time he was only 25 years old.
