The hardest kind of decision in life is: “I want to know the outcome first before I choose”—but the outcome is simply unknowable.
This part is about the value of youthful optimism: you don’t have to figure out right now what you’ll do twenty years from now, or what you’ll achieve. There’s never just one road to the top of Mount Fuji. You just need to pick the one you think is best, and keep walking forward.
In the second half, there’s a very apt metaphor: life is like wading across a great river with fast-flowing water, with stones scattered in it. If you want to cross, you have to first stand on the bank and see clearly the few stones right in front of you—use the tip of your foot to nudge them, and take a look at the larger stones in the distance. But at some point, you must choose a stone and jump—because this river is flowing; it keeps changing.
Those who try to calculate every step perfectly while still on the shore end up staying on the shore.
