A Psychological Tip
Whenever you’re called on to make up your mind,
and you’re hampered by not having any,
the best way to solve the dilemma, you’ll find,
is simply by spinning a penny.
No – not so that chance shall decide the affair
while you’re passively standing there moping;
but the moment the penny is up in the air,
you suddenly know what you’re hoping.
— Piet Hein
What a masterpiece – the guy has hit the nail on the head.

Really? I am not a toss-a-coin person – so can’t comment!

Absolutely. In fact I think I have literally used a coin. I especially used to do this when I was younger. I guess now I have learned to skip that step, heh. 🙂
