Taking a long-term perspective with decision-making at hand
When driving, one takes the car on a straight path only when looking further ahead.

Looking merely at what is close by makes the car swing sideways.

In life, the same is true.

A judgment is sound when a long-term perspective is taken.

What impact does this decision have for the future: next year, next ten years, and even the next life.

The challenge to decision making lies in our affliction and emotions, not in some details.

用长远的眼光看眼前的抉择

开车的时候，看得远才能开得直，

如果只看近处，车就容易左右摇摆。

做事情也是一样，眼光放长远一点，

想想我现在做的选择对一年后、

十年后乃至来生会有什么影响，

许多判断就容易了。

有些细节根本不是抉择的问题，

是烦恼的问题，过不了自己心中情绪的坎。
