Sometimes we make decisions we regret. If only we could go back to that instant before we decided. Or is that instant enough? Very few decisions are the product of the thought previous to it. Most decisions are years in the making. They are the product of our upbringing, our formation, our education, our beliefs, the place we live, our culture, our relationships.. nearly everything we are, and everything that defines us. But what remains is the indubitable quote taken from the book Hyperion, a Hugo Award-winning[1] 1989 science fiction novel by American writer Dan Simmons: "In such seconds of decision entire futures are made." #mondaymotivation #authors #author #time #choices #quoteoftheday #quote #quotes #decisions #hugoawards #hugoaward #novel #bestnovels #future #hyperion #thoughts #dansimmons
