Decision-making can paralyze you if you’re not prepared. Tackle your next major dilemma using the aforementioned considerations and feel better about the decisions you come to.
You’ ve heard of the American dream, right? 【T1】
The American dream was this machine we built to get rid of uncertainty and create security.
It’s the white picket fence, the job and the mini-van. You watch Dan Rather and a sitcom. You go to bed, go to sleep and repeat.
It may not be that exciting, but hey, at least it’ s stable. For years—for as long as we can remember—that’s been the end goal: stability and security. And millions of us work really hard to get there each year.
There’ s nothing wrong with that if it’ s what you’ re into. 【T2】
But there’ s a whole group of people—and this group is growing, by the way—who have said, "Forget that. I want to focus on experiences instead."
【T3】
So people go out and spend a bunch of money to participate in adventure races like the Tough Mudder, just to have an experience.
Instead of buying a new television, people buy skis and lift tickets. People pay to go to the rock climbing gym instead of paying to go to the movies. More and more, the economy is moving in this direction.
【T4】
But the idea that you can leave a stable job, a 401(K), sell your house, retrofit your van and spend a couple of years living out of it by yourself, or with your spouse, or even with your kids, is something completely different.
Not only is it different, it’ s mind-blowing.
Consider the professional baseball player Daniel Norris, who was making $2 million but living in a Volkswagen van. Who told him he could do that? At its extreme, choosing experiences over stuff isn’ t just about making these kinds of value-based decisions about recreation on your weekends. It’ s also choosing experience over security and making the same decisions on a life-size scale.
Once I began framing it this way, I kept learning about more and more people doing this. There is Jeremy Collins deciding to pursue a life of art and climbing after getting laid off from a comfortable office job, or the writer Brendan Leonard, leaving a copywriting job at IBM (arguably the definition of security) to follow his dreams of being a freelance writer and starting a blog.
【T5】
The more I learn about people completely bucking convention and living these incredibly interesting alternative existences, the more I find myself wondering, "If they can do it, can I?"
【T2】

答案
但也有这么一群人会说:“忘了那回事吧,我想更关注自己的体验。”——顺便说一句,这个群体的人数还在增加。
