which wire to cut?

Which wire to cut?

I am diffusing a bomb, do I cut the red wire or the blue wire?

Blue or red?

Red or blue?

Sweat dripping from the forehead, the clock continues to count down.

10, 9, 8, 7…

There’s a big dilemma. Hands are shaking, confidence is shattering, the heart is sinking.

Do nothing?

Everyone will blow off for sure.

Cut a wire, any wire?

I stand a 50% chance of success.

Inevitably, you cut a wire and everyone sighs with relief when the ticking of the clock stops.

What about our life?

We all have tough decisions to make sometimes- can be regarding our careers, our finances, our relationships, our kid’s education, our relocation to other cities, our health, and other important matters.

What would you do in such a situation?

You think you need to do and do nothing.

Or you don’t what to do, and do nothing.

Or you know what you need to do but because you aren’t 100% sure, hence do nothing.

Time is elapsing and we all know what would happen next.

Tick, tick, tick…clock, and then Boom!

Or you gather courage and make a decision in your mind- ‘you will cut the blue wire.’

You are saved, you advanced further, you found a better job, your financial situation improved, you could save your relationship, your kids got into a better school, you happily settled in a new city…and many more such things.
Cut the blue wire at the right time.
