Decisions...

Sometimes, life can be so very difficult. Everyday, no matter what we do, we are handed the task of making decisions. From things as trivial as what are we going to eat, to bigger issues that can totally alter the path of our lives. Choices are made based on what we have experienced, what we have been educated about. We make choices that we 'think' are right. Sad to say, sometimes they aren't, and you might just end up rubbing more salt on a fresh bleeding wound.

Making decisions can be really hard. This is mainly due to the fact that we are all afraid of change. From the small things, like changing to eat outside campus instead of the same old roti canai in the cafe to bigger things like changing a job that you have been doing for the past 5 or 10 years, or maybe changing a career. Changes disrupts familiarity, which gives us a sense of security. This is where our fear of change comes from. However, given time, most people would be able to adapt to changes, molding what they have to what they want. Sometimes, compromise is needed.

At certain conditions, decisions might not be made base on logic at all. We tend to rely on intuitions occasionally. This kind of decision will bring you down a route which you might not have imagine before. You might end up getting a windfall out of the blue OR you might have the biggest fall of your life.' With greater risk comes greater rewards', some might argue. But the other way is true as well,' with greater risk comes greater punishments'. So, before making any decisions, think carefully. Trust your own judgment and be confident.
