Don't we also need to move forward? We can second-guess and vacillate to 
the point of paralysis or we can screw up some courage, make a choice 
and get on with it.

 From the far reaches of my childhood, an aphorism:
"A fool is certain; an ignorant fool, absolutely so."
In other words, we can never really "make sure". We can only convince 
ourselves that we're sure. There's still a possibility that we'll be 
wrong. Or right. Or somewhere in between.
