In your opinion, how does the choice influence our daily lives? Please provide a definition.

Choice refers to the act of choosing one thing among many which is dictated by our values, need and circumstances. Choice is involved in almost all of the things we do in our daily lives, whether we are making minor choices, such as what we eat to breakfast or more significant choices, such as career, relationships and even health. Every decision has its repercussions that extend into the future and affect how we feel, what can happen to us, and how we feel in control.

When we take considered decisions we get to feel a sense of power and intent; when we fail to make decisions we tend to give that control to whether we use chance or other people. With time, the patterns are adopted as the repeated decision and these patterns shape our way of life and identity. This way, choice is not only a momentary decision, but also a moving force, always in silent operation, which guides the flow of our daily lives. The quality of life is eventually affected by the quality of our decision making.

Do you believe that each choice carries its own consequences? Please explain your viewpoint.

I do agree that all decisions have their outcome either we realized it right after or later on in the life. Each choice provides a path with prospects and connections, and individual development. The smallest decisions such as the use of our time or the way we relate to people will create habits that shape the person we grow into. Greater choices, career direction or bigger commitments, are usually accompanied by clearer results, good and bad. Punishments are not always consequences; most of them are lessons that make us learn, adapt and improve. It is upon this realization of the interdependence between choice and consequence that responsibility and thoughtful action is promoted. When we realize that our actions are important, we will be more conscious, deliberate and ready to receive both the reward and the resulting risks in our lives.

Do you frequently find that the choices we make contribute to our development of experience and confidence in life? Please provide some examples to support your perspective.

Yes, our choices are quite strong to determine our experience and trust in the long term. When we decide to go out to another activity we are subjected to an environment which would make us have skills and self-confidence. To give an example, in case when a student has decided to attend a debate club, he/she may feel nervous during the beginning of the course but the skills to communicate and self-confidence to speak in front of the audience are gained with time. Similarly, the choice of working part-time can be made to be more responsible, obtain solutions to problems, and become independent, what develops confidence in individuals.

Even hard decisions like engaging failure as opposed to keeping off difficulties lead to growth. Every choice is a chance to learn, and we are able to realize what our weaknesses and strengths are. All these experiences eventually build a bedrock of confidence which affects the way we handle future challenges and opportunities in life. The process is repeated in all ages of adulthood.
