56 / 365 Learn to Decide Correctly
Nothing
is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The
quality of our life depends on the quality of our decisions. Bad decisions
affect our life adversely. All of us are capable of making good decisions, if
we remember the following simple rules:
·
Decide the purpose,
which you want to achieve by your decision. If the purpose is not achieved,
then your decision is wrong!
·
Do not hesitate to
take an unpleasant decision for the only reason that it is painful.
·
List all the choices
you have and not just go after one choice due to ego or obsession.
·
Collect and analyze
all the available data before deciding.
·
Use trusted friends
and well-wishers as ‘sounding board’ before deciding as they may have a
different perspective.
·
Listen to the ‘voice
of dissent’, since your views may not be always correct.
·
Take responsibility
for your decision and execute.
·
Evaluate the result of
your decision and learn from past wrong decisions.
Today,
list at least three wrong decisions you took in the past three months and check
if you have considered the above points before taking those decisions.
