Wise decisions

* Who is wise? The one who foresees the outcome [e.g. of present actions or decisions; Tamid 32b].
* If a jar has one pebble in it and is shaken, it makes a disturbingly loud noise; if a jar is full with pebbles and is packed it makes no noise [Bava Metzia 85b]. Rashi: this is a metaphor for wisdom (when a wise person is "shaken," he responds with calm and substance quietly; when an empty person is "shaken," he responds with disturbingly loud noise and not with substance].

Read the article entitled Get the whole picture before a CT; doctors, patients must weigh risks vs. rewards of medical imaging in order to make an educated decision on whether to take a CT scan.

Traveling with BA airways before Passover? Read Would you book a flight with BA? to ensure that you are making a wise choice.
