Umpires call it straight while half the crowd boos. Imagine being that steady about your own choices.

Someone standing behind the plate has accepted that half the people watching will be unhappy with every correct decision. They do it anyway, pitch after pitch, because the job is the call and not the reaction to it. Most of your own hard choices have that shape, and the difficult part is almost never knowing what is right.

Pick the decision you keep putting off because it will annoy somebody. Make it, say it once, and resist the urge to explain it four more times. Disapproval you can tolerate stops having any power to pick your choices for you.
