Decision-making is an essential part of a person's life. Everybody, no matter how big or small, has to make decisions at some point. Even though some decisions are not so important, some decisions are very important. For instance, thinking of what we have for today’s dinner is not more important. However, some decisions we are taking direct our whole life. For example, our career path decisions and marriage life decisions fully direct our lives. Therefore, we must be so careful when making decisions. For that, we need to learn how to make decisions.

Which points should anyone keep in mind while making any decisions?

According to my knowledge, we need to stay calm before making decisions. Because the decision we make hurriedly or restlessly might be harmful in the future. Therefore, we must first take a deep breath to clear our minds, then think clearly, and lastly, make decisions.

Secondly, we must collect all the necessary information. Making decisions based on the feelings and advice of others could be harmful. For instance, if we want to start a business, first we need to research the market, then talk with experienced people and understand the risks before making a decision.

Thirdly, we should think about the long-term effects. A good decision should not bring short-term comfort but give benefits and happiness for the future.

Do you deem that there are instances in which decisions must be made for the collective benefit of all? Explain

Indeed, there are moments we have to make decisions for collective benefits rather than personal benefits. Family life is a great example of that. You know, most of the time, parents sacrifice their desires and happiness on behalf of their children. As well as in teamwork, the leader has to make decisions for the benefit of their whole team rather than for personal benefits. The government should make decisions considering the whole citizenry of the country. When a company makes a decision, they have to think of all the workers. These kinds of decisions show maturity, kindness, and responsibility.

Please provide techniques for managing challenging situations effectively.

Making decisions is not an easy job. However, if we make decisions wisely, even a difficult decision can be made easily. For that, there are some simple techniques to be implemented. One useful method is listing advantages and disadvantages before making decisions. When we write both pros and cons in one paper, it helps us to see things more clearly. As well, we can discuss the matter with a trusted person; it might be a family member or a friend. Because two heads are better than one. Another technique is to control our feelings when making decisions. Sometimes the choices we make with our sadness, anger, or fear may not be the best ones.

Learning from our past experiences is another strong technique. When we look back, we can identify which decisions were made well and what wasn't. Every experience is a very good teacher. We also need to be humble to accept our faults and correct them, and go forward.
