Decisions can be made quickly, or they can be made after careful thought. In your experience, are decisions made quickly better or worse than decisions made after careful thought? |
Some people say that it is better to make decisions quickly; they think that it is time-saving and helpful for progressing the situation. However, they miss the fact that it is easy to see the situation only superficially, when making decisions quickly. Therefore, despite the notion that ready decisions are better, I maintain that decisions should be made after a long time of thorough thinking for the following two reasons. To begin with, making decision is so important that it should be done seriously. People usually say that life is a series of decisions, which means that decision plays a vital role in one’s life. Therefore, it is critical to make a quality decision. To illustrate, when I was in third grade in junior high school, I spent a lot of time choosing which high school to attend. After a careful thought, I finally chose to go to foreign language high school. Now, I am enjoying my school life and greatly satisfied with my decision. If I had not taken the matter seriously and just chose to go to any school in my neighborhood, I might have been disappointed with my school education. Secondly, it is easy to regret after making decisions quickly, particularly when one faces failure due to that action. For instance, few years ago, my friend who wants to be a singer accidently met an employee of a management corporation, and just decided to make a contract with the company. However, she found out that the company was not helpful for her. Even though she tried to stop working with them, she had to do it due to the contract which was made promptly. In sum, it might look better to get through with making decisions immediately, but if one thinks about the importance of that determination and how frequently one repents after doing rash actions, one can easily come up with what is surely better. Hence, when it comes to decision making, careful thought must be accompanied even though it takes a long time. |
