The problem is that deciding what we want is not only difficult but it may not suit us and it may not be what we (and others) actually need. We (most of us) are just not that all-knowing. We don't have all the information; we never do.
It's better, I think, to treat each new day as a potential cornucopia of possibilities with the interesting and potentially rewarding ones (to us and others) to be acted upon. And then if they don't work out, change direction or identify a new course.
The most interesting and rewarding business I ever got into came after a fluke exposure to it, and then I moved on it. Basically it was taking the time-tested salesman's advice: Find a need and fill it. It paid off. [I suspect that Solomon has done that too.]
