where to ride

Ride the horse in the direction it’s going. —Chinese proverb
A driver who does not see the red light ahead may wonder why the other drivers are going so slow.
It wasn’t someone in the news business who said, “No news is good news.”

“Better an empty purse than wrongly got money.” (Norwegian proverb)

“You can’t please everyone” — so you have to decide.
“Let sleeping dogs lie” — especially important if you have any tasks or obligations that remain incomplete.
“Look before you leap.” “He who hesitates is lost.” These two adages are often presented as opposites, yet both point to the importance of knowing where you are.
The shortest distance between two points is also the easiest strategy to predict.
