choices, decisions & calculated risks

thought of the week:

1) is it better to be indecisive?
or
2) is it better to be decisive?

choices.... choices..... and MORE choices!
that's what life is all about isn't it? :)
made up of choices and decisions to be made, every other second/minute/hour/day.

every choice of an action comes with a price to pay, be it good or bad.
when it comes to "life" choices/decisions to be made, there is no such thing as a RIGHT or WRONG decision. there are also no perfect plans.
when a decision has to be made, it just has to be made.

live with the consequences! that's the next step.
be practical and pragmatic.
in the face of decision making, people would USUALLY have thought through the whole process and SHOULD BE fully aware of the consequences for both their "RIGHT" and "WRONG" choices.
but somehow unfortunately, not everyone has that gift of foresight.
that's why there are different types of characters/personalities, no?

some people are great at macro managing - the gift of great foresight;
whereas others are better at micro managing - looking into the nitty gritty details of things.
few have the best of both worlds.
nevertheless, work hard towards achieving both! =D

no matter how hard anyone tries to foresee issues or problems, there's always bound to be a loophole, somewhere, somehow.
murphy's law.
but that's just life isn't it?
else, there wouldn't be something called regret.

my next question would be: "why regret?"
there is no point in doing so.
easier said than done. definately!
but ahaa! that's life's challenge! ;)
the trick is calculated-risk.

one can only plan so much and so far ahead. but what about the now?
what about the short-term goals?
what about the back-up plans?
not everything has a sure-shot solution.
there isn't a perfect scenario.
no such thing as an easy way out.

we can't say for sure what WILL happen but we can TRY to make things right, as best as we can and as far as possible.
