Many people do not know what to do in face of a decision(決定)，big or small．Most decisions aren't life-changers．But often，the decision isn't between this or that, it's between acting or not. If this worries you, here are some tips.

Jog or ride a bike to nowhere．

Just start moving in hopes of leaving the familiar(熟悉)．Walk down every street or path you can find until you lose your way．Then, see where you end up. Remember what it felt like to wonder(疑惑) where you were going？Try to lose yourself more often．It'll make you better at making a decision．

Sit outside with no technology for an hour.

Let yourself get bored．Can you hear the birds singing？The wind blowing？Yourself breathing？Try to do this once a week，then every other day，then every day．One of the reasons we find it hard to make better decisions is that we keep getting attracted(被吸引的) to new things．A break from the noise will lead you to the decision you need to make．

Do something that makes you afraid．

People who have trouble making decisions fear mistakes．Tell someone you love them．Laugh out loud in a public place．Give a speech to a stranger．And when you do this，remember how you feel When you're afraid of a risky situation the next time，tell yourself that you didn't lie．And try to trust the process in the future．

Some of these things may seem foolish，but the more you do them，the more you'll control(控制) yourself．It doesn't matter where you're going．Just go．Once you start moving，you can always change the direction．Do not worry about it.

The art of making 1.

Brennan Agranoff, a colorblind boy, started his custom sock business in middle school, with a small loan（貸 款）he got from his parents. Up till now, he has sold over 1 million dollars' worth of socks online in the last four years.

Brennan thought of the idea for his custom sock company at just 13 years old. He was attending a high-school basketball game in his hometown of Sherwood, Oregon, and noticed that many kids of his age were wearing the same white Nike sport socks. The boy told himself that if these white plain socks were so popular with kids, then some cool custom designs would surely be an even greater hit.

But the boy didn't tell his parents about the business idea immediately. He spent six months researching things like printing machines and technology and drawing up a business plan. Only when he had everything planned out did he ask his parents for a loan. “They thought the idea was a little out there, ”Brennan recently told CNN Money, but he kept pushing, and finally received a $3,000 loan to start his company. Then he began to work on his own designs. The fact that he was colorblind didn't stop him and he has created over 200 designs now.

Business was slow the first year, but then Brennan started pushing his HoopSwagg products heavily on the Internet. Orders soon started coming in in large numbers, and HoopSwagg became a popular brand among custom sock lovers. Right now,his designs can be found on HoopSwagg website, Amazon and eBay.
