Everything starts with a choice. Every situation/happening in our life starts with the choice which we have to make in the given time. The time limit might depend on things like competition, requirement of work to be completed, monetary deals etc. In other words, every situation poses a objective or subjective puzzle which can either have multiple answers or single answer. The choice we have make, sometimes, is so crucial that it can change our life with one incident. So, how do we take this decision of what choice we should make? On what basis we should do the decision making? If we made a choice once, is it correct to make a completely different choice next time?
In every situation, we generally look at the available options; think as deeply as we can to see the future; and then take the decision according that. It's like playing a chess match. For instance, if you have the ability to think 4 moves ahead, while playing chess, you think till all the possible moves ahead(i.e. 4^4 in your case) and decide to make a move. What if your opponent can think 5 moves ahead? It is quite possible that the so far best you have chosen will turn out to be wrong in the 5th move and your opponent has seen it. What happens now? You lost the game! So, if we have better ability we can take better decisions. Some times, even after having the ability to think ahead, we may end up taking not so better decisions due to the situational pressure either through time or money or through people. Now that you have less ability, you always end up taking the wrong(not so better) decisions? If we leave the decisions related to "monetary or any form of deals", then, I think, there is a way to maximize the loss. When it comes to decisions related to life, love, emotions, social relations etc., we can always go back to the same situation and change our decision.
Most of the guys I have seen are so confused that, they don't know what kind of career to take up after graduation. They don't know what they should look for. This is for those confused souls, who don't know what to do in life. If your dreams and goals are clear and if you are visionary and focused enough, you 'll end up taking right decisions. But, what to do in case of confused situation? Make the best possible decision right now and let the effects of the decision go on for a while and then reconsider the situation and edit/change the decision if needed. And keep doing like this, till the accuracy of your decisions converge or till you continuously find happiness because of the decisions you made.
The controversial topic which I want to discuss is "principles". Every man has certain principles in his life. Principles are also the decisions taken once in certain situations. In many cases, people stick to the decisions or principles even the situations are changed. And these principles become the principles of their life or their family or even the clan. The person who sticks to his decisions till the end of his life is going to suffer the most. It doesn’t mean we shouldn't have any principles which eventually control our life and put us in a right path to the wisdom we are wishing for. But these principles should not become a firewall to stop us from changing ourselves. As it is told in the Gita, "Change is the only thing that is constant and it essential for development". When do we realize that these principles are once a philosophical solution to the social developmental issues that once existed? When do we realize that these principles are mere decisions that we or someone else made. Why can't we think rationally and design our own principles/decisions which are more flexible and compatible with the current or contemporary world?
Every one's personality grows or character improves only when he/she thinks of the change. And again this change is not supposed to be expected for the society or from system or so. We are the ones who are supposed to change first before expecting the other things or others to change. Be an example first, and then suggest others to be. As Gandhiji said, "Be the change you want to be".
Sree..!!!
