Below is from Ben Carson's book "Take The Risk":
The Best/Worse Analysis Formula
Whether it is deciding on career moves, knowing whether to accept speaking engagements, or discerning which cases to accept, I analyze the risk.
How do I analyze risks and arrive at a decision?
I use a formula that I designed called the Best/Worst Analysis (B/WA) formula. It is actually quite simple.
- What is the best thing that can happen if I do this?
- What is the worst thing that can happen if I do this?
- What is the best thing that can happen if I don’t do it?
- What is the worst thing that can happen if I don’t do it?
