Decision Making

Decision making is an important process in life.

Every day all of us meet myriad situations when we are expected or required to make a choice. Sometimes it is some minor one, at other times it can be the one that will define all our life to follow. When making a choice it is important to take into consideration lots of factors and a person should have the necessary skills to make those choices quick and such a way that he will not regret them later. In my opinion ability to make a decision and be responsible for it is a significant component of our life for the following reasons.

First, our choices determine our following life, even when they are minor ones. For example, a person decides which university to attend and what discipline to study. That is for sure will be the fact that will have a huge impact on his future life, how successful he will be at the university and in pursuit of his career. It may also determine the place he will live in. or instance, there can be such jobs like ocean researchers or dimplomats or pilots positions for which cannot be found available in some places for many reasons. So the choice a young person of 16-18 years old makes will turn out to be much more important than it may even seem in the beginning. Of course, if he decides to choose another field of study, he can always do so, but still he will have the wasted time, efforts and in most cases money for the initially wrong decision.

Second, making decisions teaches us to carry responsibility for ourselves, for our family, for the company we work for. For example, when two parents decide to move to another city or immigrate to another country, they are responsible not only for themselves, but also for their children. Their decision will be of great importance in how comfortable they will land down in the new place and maintain their normal way of life. On the other hand, a manager may make a decision to work or not with some supplier or contractor or hire a new manager and that will definitely have a certain impact on the following development in the life of the company, in the procurement, project fulfillment  and so on.

Based on the reasons mentioned above, I come to the conclusion that decision making have far going effects on our life. We should always remember that every decision we make will have consequences, and it is up to us whether they will be satisfying or not.
