choices, choices, choices....when is a choice the right choice?

in life, we go through so many things; we encounter a lot of events, situations and problems; we pass through so many roads in our lives and in those roads we encounter a "fork on the road" which makes us have to choose which path to take. how can you honestly say then to yourself that you have made the right choice in whatever circumstance you have met in your life? how will you be able to identify the right choice or the wrong choice?

i think only time can tell if we made the right choice or not. the future circumstances that leads to making the choice will tell you if you made the right call or the wrong call. what may seem wise in the present may eventually become opposite in the future. You must have the guts to live up to any of the choices you make, though some choices will give you the answer immediately, some can lead to more number of years before making you realized whether you made the right call or not. THe older you get the more choices you think you should have taken and feel that your life could have been better. Choices are never easy. Life is never easy especially if you want a very good quality life ahead of you, eventually the choices we make will become our teachers in life, telling us if we did made the right choice in the past.

No book will tell you this cent percent. One should use intution to make a right choice and it is a gambling for some, it is caculated risk for some and it is a way of life for some. Some make it a big success by making right choice. There is also a saying : make a right choice at right time and right place. Who the hell is going to tell us all these right things. Is there any prediction machine? This is just a theory and one should concentrate, plan, and take the decision according to what flashes in themind. Life is always a risk and a few take chances to become success.

that's very true...life is always a risk. you're also right that very few take chances maybe because majority would rather want to stay neutral on the safer side. ('.')

For me experiences ( yours or people around you) may help to make the right choices. But just may help it is of course not for sure. People all their life long make wrong choices too, If there was a way to figure out which one is right and wrong then there wouldn't be right and wrong differences. Choices in our life make us people it self. And there is a saying i guess you know. Deciding a wrong choice is aways better than choosing nothing. At least you will learn that was the wrong decision and will not make the same mistake.

it is really hard to live in this world. we still have to make good or bad choices before we truly learn in life. ('.')
