I definitely didn't and do not choose the best possible solutions (optimal solutions). I choose/chose the solutions which I think/thought is best based on the circumstances, my current understanding and or knowledge, my experiences, and quality of information I have.

I am not the wisest person on the earth. I am not experienced in all areas. I make subpar decisions all the time. I'm still here because of luck not because I don't make mistakes. Humans are quite limited in common ways and so no human is in my opinion truly wise.

I accept that I do not know much and barely get by with all that I do not know.

There are no ideal people. You know it, I know it. People tend to be wrong. This is an invaluable meritorious experience, which should be appreciated)
