Studies show that people regret their failures to act far more than actions actually taken, but that they predict that they will regret actions more than inactions (See Stumbling on Happiness, by Dan Gilbert, page 197).
The implication?
Do something courageous today. Ignore that inner voice telling you that you'll regret it. It's almost certainly wrong.

I just completed my MBA at Columbia Business School in New York City this Spring. Recently the blog has been focused on investing and doing business in Africa. I started it, however, when I got sick of mass e-mailing friends and family everytime something weird happened during the two years I worked in China. Check the archives and multimedia galleries (below) to find lots of great stories, pictures, and videos from travels in the U.S., China, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, Kenya and other parts of the world.
