They probably were simply following the wisdom that has come down through the ages, this adage that when you're making decisions, especially decisions of importance, it's best to be in charge, it's best to be in control, it's best to be in the driver's seat. And we were certainly in the driver's seat, making all these decisions.
Quizá se guían por la sabiduría popular transmitida por generaciones, ese adagio que dice que para tomar decisiones, sobre todo decisiones importantes, es mejor hacerse cargo, tener el control, es mejor tomar las riendas.
