go ahead with ur decision friends............

Friends I want all of u to read the entire post and just reading is not important,think of it and make a good decision which brings u success in life…….


Don’t break into a sprint. And, dont crawl either. Consider the pros and cons and lend an ear to expert opinions. But don't let the decision making process go on and on and on..........

Here is a real life incident that tells about the dangers of hasty decisions under the influence of fright or anger. A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen, shaking frantically with what looked like a wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle.

Intending to jolt him a way from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm. Until that moment he had been happily listening to his Walkman.

FOUR STEPS:

Decision means choosing between various options. Normally students are guided by their parents and influenced by their friends regarding their career and future. Here r four basic steps to make a wise decision.

1.think of a many alternatives as possible. Never stick on to the first one that occurred to ur mind and try to strengthen it. When u ask a person for an advice or to take a decision on ur behalf, think: does he know as much about the problem as I do?

2.never relay on ‘one’ expert opinion. They may be biased or not scientifically correct. Search for more information with other professionals, books, online services and newspapers. Visualise the outcome of each alternative.

3.Consider whether it is for u or someone else. If ur decision is to affect others take into consideration their values also.

4.consider ur capabilities. Never be too optimistic or pessimistic. Access the pros and cons and what u r loosing or gaining by ur decision.

Many a times u r very happy about a decision but not comfortable with its possible outcome. It is like aiming for IIT without basic foundation. On the other hand sometimes u may dislike a decision but excited about the outcome. This includes selling of ancestral property. If u feel u can live with both the decision as well as the possible outcome, this is the path u should follow.

Being unable to take a decision is called “decidiphobia.” It is more harmful than a hasty decision. Review constantly, whether u r going in right direction and getting expected results. If not, change the goal. Many students and their parents undergo complexity in this juncture, unable to change their fixed targets. Ask ur frnd to count down and tell u how many paragraphs this article has. After his reply, ask him whts the title of article. He cannot tell u. Same way when u call 4 an advice, the expert would tell u the solutions from his knowledge and experience. Take suggestions but final decision is urs.

On the other hand leave expectations when listening to a good advice and be open. Sometimes the main cause of a problem rests somewhere else. For a student who feels that physics is a tough, the reason may be his poor standard in elementary mathematics.

Friends at last I want to conclude by saying

LIFE IS A RARE CHANCE
WITH PLENTY OF PLANS
IF POSITIVE U WIN
IF NEGATIVE U LOOSE.

a point well made...we tend to search for answers at places where they are least likely to be found...but not quite sure abt the 'weighing all options/plan everything' funda...decisions made impulsively at the spur of the moment have worked quite well for me though...differs from person to person though...
p.s. came here coz a friend of yours/(mine too!) suggested i visit your blog...nice one..
