Success in life is determined by a mix of luck and decision quality. While luck is uncontrollable, making sound decisions is essential for achieving desirable outcomes. It is necessary to educate students on effective decision-making, especially under uncertainty, to help them succeed. The absence of decision-making education in primary and secondary school contrasts with the emphasis on subjects like calculus. Simple probabilistic thinking can be taught even to young children, fostering skills in decision-making early on.
"Life success involves a combination of luck and the quality of the decisions we make. Since we have no control over luck, the quality of the decisions we make is especially important."
"Decision-making is really important, and we should make sure that we're producing great decision-makers as students come out of primary and secondary education."
"The better the quality of my decisions, the more likely I am to have good outcomes in my life and a better life overall."
"You can teach a relatively simple version of probabilistic thinking to a kindergartner."
