There has been an argument regarding the issue that it is always wise to make an important decision alone. Some people may insist that the word is true even though they are likely to make mistakes because they can earn everlasting lesson that one can never forget. However, from my perspective, it is desirable to be cooperative when making crucial decision because single person cannot consider every variables and it also affect not only me but the other people around me.
To begin with, one cannot consider every single option that can possibly affect result. This is because a single significant decision is likely to be involved in many aspects and one's limited personal experience and values are not sufficient to fully cover all of the aspects. However, when I gather up other people's experiences and values, I might be able to supplement shortcomings of my own one. For example, I was facing entrance to highschool and have to decide which school to apply for. I initially had thought to apply for Seoul Highschool of which school uniform is nice. However, many of my friends reminded me that Seoul Highschool has terrible class atmosphere and that would make it hard for me to get admission to prestige college. Hence, I changed my mind to apply for Dongbaek Highschool that I currently go to and I am greatly satisfied with my school because of its studious atmosphere. Hence, as many opinions from friends of mine makes reminded me of the fact that I previously missed, I believe it is always prudent to listen to others when making important decisions.
Furthermore, the decision can affect other people as well if it truly is an important decision. Generally, people who are social animal are greatly linked to each other. Therefore, a single bad decision can detrimentally affect other people around me when it contradicts with other people's goals or objectives. Hence, I must listen to other people in decision making process in order to avoid such consequence. For example, let us say there is a man who is trying to enter Seoul University and become a professional singer. However, his parents and relatives want him to become a doctor. If he decides to major in singing without asking for his people’s opinion, his parents and relatives would be sad and somewhat disappointed by the decision. Hence, as one’s decision by his sole contemplation can affect other people as well as him, one should listen to other people who van possibly be affected by the decision.
To conclude, I believe that it is recommendable to ask for others’ opinion when making an important decision. This is because a person cannot make a prudent choice that it considerate of all possible consequences if he makes the decision by himself. Also, such decision would also influence people around him as well, if the decision is truly important. | |
