The right decision !

I have always wondered, is there anything such as a “right decision”. At different points in life, a person will have to make various choices. I often hear people saying, “that was the right move by him”, “it was a wrong decision”. Can anyone with complete confidence make such statements?

At various stages of life you will be forced to make tough decisions. You have to pick one way from several ways as the way forward. The way I see it, one should do what they believe is right. No one should feel any regret after doing what they thought was right at that point of time no matter what the outcome is. When I say choices, I do not mean to kill a person or not to kill a person. It’s more in the lines of which stream to choose after 10^th or which company to join or whether to ask a girl out or not. The reason why I believe that one should never regret a decision taken after listening to your hear and brain is because, we will never know what would have happened if we had gone for the second or third option. We might have ended up in a even worse situation had we gone for some other option. There is no sure shot way of telling if a decision was right or wrong. We certainly can not build a time machine, go back to the future, erase our memory so that we don’t remember anything that happened after we took the decision and then opt for the second option. There are far too many variables at stake. Even if a move you made turned out to be good initially, no one knows what will happen a year down. Never let any one tell you what is a good decision or what is a bad decision. One should definitely listen to what people have to tell, use your knowledge, weigh in the options and take the decisions in your best interest.

Once you take a decision you should stick to it. Good times and bad times will come and go. Life is full of ups and downs. We should always keep in mind that the main thing is to win the war not the battle. Tough time make a man strong. It gives us experience and confidence to come out of any situation. It will make you a stronger and better person. Do not regret a decision just because the going gets tough. Have faith in yourself and move forward. If the going gets tough, instead of mopping and regretting your moves, you should ensure that you do what ever it takes so that things work out in your favor. I would like to end by partially quoting one of my favorite sayings

If there is a problem and there is no solution for the problem, what’s the point worrying about it? If there is a problem and there is a solution for the problem, stop worrying and work towards the solution.
