How to Apply This
-
Forget your “gut feeling.”
When you want to decide something for which you say, “I can’t explain exactly. I just feel it in my guts.”, you try to predict the future without any practical knowledge about it. You should test your assumptions before you commit to something. -
Go out and try it yourself.
If you’re unsure whether you want to be a psychiatrist or not, work first in psychiatry for a few weeks. It goes the same with almost any field. How could you make a lifelong decision without any experience? It's better to work for a few weeks—even for free—than to spend years studying something that isn't right for you.
