People spend more time pondering inconsequential decisions with minute differences than they do for life changing decisions.

A young relative said yes to a marriage proposal from a young man she was not expecting to pop the question since they've only been dating a few months. This is the same young woman who called her sister and three aunts to discuss which of shoes she should buy.

Or is it the Peter Principle, "People are promoted to the point at which they become incompetent and rise no further".

Maybe it's both. It's just that the educated people without grit tend to sit at their desks and complain that someone with less education or lower grades got the promotion and all they got was an "average contributor" rating on their annual review.
