Decisions....


Every once in a while there happens to be a situation where we are faced with taking decisions. I have heard that the greatest danger in the world is indecision or lack of decision. Both the greatest danger is the inability to stand with our decision whether they are right or wrong. It's kind of humorous but no one knows the outcome of a decision and the outcome it delivers. I have found that as we grow up the decisions we take bring in a certain plethora of baggage associated. For example when we were 5-6 years, the decision to select between a Snickers and a Mars!! Or when we are 10-15, the decision to select between clothes and many things of fancy value. Once we are 20-25, the choices in making the right career decisions and so on. But I have seen the degree of uncertainity in each decision we make as we grow in age and the ever looming risk of failure. It teaches us some valuable lessons in patience leading perseverance and hope. But one never knows the right decision to make at any given point of time. Imagine Archduke Ferdinand taking a shorter route to reach his destination and the outcome it caused. Similarly when we read history the mishaps caused due to lack of decision outweigh any bad decision. The order might be changed, but one has to be comfortable and adjust to the new order whatever it is.
