Probe the problem

Alright.. I have a task for u..Ask me a question which involves me to choose... Go ahead... just anything that you want me to decide upon. Okay, wait! Before I take your question, I have an open statement. There is a good chance of me not giving an answer. I might always refuse to answer. I would be like, " Err... hmmm... but... well... aaahhh.. Ughhh??.. and..what if.. if not.. else.. so on and so forth". I stumble to choose among a set of alternatives in light of their possible consequences. Blame it on the frontal lobe of my brain. My mind often goes into an infinite loop, processing the conditional statements.

Most often, when faced with such a thing, we go by intuition, which might or might not be the right thing to do. We sometimes tend to think straight from the head but sometimes from the heart. Now, when should we put our head ahead of the heart and when should we put the heart ahead of our head is a serious question!! And as a result of this serious problem of indecisiveness we tend to fail and err. Acceptable (or is it not?), totally! And there are good chances that people label (which they are doing best at), as biased. And when things don't go according to the decision made we blame it on our good old 'DESTINY'. We say it was a mistake! The most difficult thing to do in life is "TO CHOOSE". A choice can make all the difference. A protracted decision is only one part of the process of choosing. We make decisions in the fear of making the wrong decisions and there we trip and fail. Its an unusual phobia, do you see that?!!

Anyways, do our mistakes matter at all? Okay, okay... We are humans and are fallible. Agreed! And failure is the stepping stone to success! Innit?? The measure of success is not whether you have a tough decision to deal with, but whether it's the same decision you had before. A good old proverb says, "Decide like a man of action; implement like a man of thought". It does not take much strength to decide what to do, but it requires great strength to do things.

Now we could argue that if a mistake does not lead to a failure, then it is not of any importance - we may not even know we've made an error. Our fallibility is compounded when we lack experience, don't have the right information, misunderstand, or if we are careless, tired or under time pressure. All these factors affect our ability to make sensible decisions - our brains either don't have the information or cannot process it quickly enough. Additionally, we are more likely to make errors when dealing wit perplexing problems and complex processes. It could be anything -personal or technical or even business related. This is coz, I think, our brains are wired to deal wit a reasonable amount of complexity or change. When asked to deal wit more our brains may not process the information we have correctly. Well, am not making it a general statement. It could be otherwise and I shall not be surprised. But at least MY MIND CANNOT TAKE IT!! So, is it okay to fail? Or is there a compulsion to succeed?
