How Do You Make Up Your Mind?

'How do you make up your mind? I have tried all the wrong ways. I have flipped a coin and hoped that there was some supernatural destiny in whether King George or Britannia faced the sky. I have tried the way of the politician who "sat on the fence with one ear to the ground," and lived by an imaginary Gallup poll of my friends' opinion. Inverting the words of St. Paul, I have done those things which are done and left undone those things which are not done.'
