Making decisions sometimes are very important in people's life. Foe example, there are universities, if you decide to go to one university instead of the other one, you may meet different classmates and teachers with the other one. It is possible that you meet your wife or hunsband in this university. This period will have large influence on your life. All this difference is result from that decision. Therefore, making decision may influence one's life. That is the main reason that I am fraid of making decisions.
How about you, friends? Do you afraid of making decision? And do you think a decision may influnce your life?

i am confident with every decision i make. i weigh my options and pick the best option that is there to offer me. always go through your options more than twice and try thinking out of the box before you make a decision, think about the consequences and write the pro's and cons, never make an important decision spontaneously. but never lose your spontaneity. good luck and god bless. cheers mate.

Hi, berrys, it is great that feel confident with decisons that had made. I hope that I also could do that. But one small question,we can not expect what will happen in future, how can we think about the pro's and con's?

all our decisions will, in one way or another, affect what will happen to us in the future. that is why decisions need to be made with great care, with a level head. there are times when we all have a hard time making a decision, for fear of what might happen, for fear of the unknown. but bravery, as they say, is the will to make decisions (and move forward) despite the fear. this is what i try to live by.
happy mylotting!

I do believe decisions do influence our life a lot. We do need to make different decisions in our life. There will be lot of time we need to make the right decisions in our life. Sometimes we might be able to make the right decisions and sometimes we might not. I think we shouldn't be afraid to make decisions as we need to think and make right decisions. With more and more experiences we will be able to make more and more right decisions in our life.

Right decisions? We aloways would like to choose right choices, however, brfore somethings happen, we never know which one is the most right decision. I think this is the most important. Maybe we can learn more and get more experiences from some wrong decisions.

Every decision changes the course of direction in one's life. Deciding to cross a different street tomorrow, can do it.
Afraid of making decisions, though? You're aware that deciding not to make a decision is a decission within itself right? It also has a huge possibility to change your life as much as deciding to decide, xD

Have you seen fast and the furious 3 - tokyo drift? there's a part there that really struck me... One character said, life... you make choices, you don't look back. Actually what he means is, having no regrets in life. You take a chance on everything and even if you fail another chance will be given to you. Im not afraid to take make choices or decisions, in fact i love making them. It gives you more freedom and control about your life.
You are actually unconsciously making decisions, concentrate on little things, every decision no matter how small they are still decisions or choices. You decide everytime you wake up in the morning if you're going to go to school or not, what food you'll eat, what clothes you'll wear. You decide on almost everything. Decisions should not be taken into account only when they are huge... like purchasing a car, a house or having loans and mortgages... and yes, our decisions influence our lives. There are no right or wrong decisions only the outcome turns different. The outcome maybe bad or good, nevertheless, it should not keep you from learning. Everyone is built to train themselves to make better choices in the future and your present attitude will greatly determine how good they will be once they are made.

hi wanghui0210 !
the answer to your question is: of course! every decision that we make in our lives may make or break us. even just the food that we eat. what we eat will determine if that will make us healthy or will make us sick--will make us thin or fat. so we should be careful to make choices, as these choices will determine the course where our lives will take us.
take care and God bless you!
happy mylotting! :D

I don't think that decisions only can influence one's life. If decisions are converted to actions, then only there is possibility that one's life can be influenced by the results of these actions. Simply decisions are proposals to take up some work. But action is the real execution of work. So we must be very careful for converting a decision to work by our actions. Our results are only the outcome of our actions!
Thanks for this nice topic and have a good day!

making decisions is always part of any one's life. once you had it finally, make sure you have to standby it, whatever the consequences are. one is considered great if you have the ability to make a decision and to live with it. Some people are born with this skill, however most of us are incapable of making decisions and sticking by it. I believe taking the right decision is crucial for success. In most cases you don’t need to make a decision right away. take your time and analyze every aspect of the situation.

Yes, I think I am incapable of making decisions and sticking by it. Now, I try to think about every aspect of the decision, however, we can not forecat what will happen in the future, how can we analyze every aspect of the situation?

i absolutely do think decisions will influence a person's life. if you marry the right person your life will be good but if you marry the wrong person your life could be very unhappy. if you decided to have an abortion and then later on when you want kids you find out you can no longer have them it would have been a decision that profoundly influenced your life. if you decide not to go to college and wind up struggling through your life to pay bills or drop out of high school that will impact your life forever. so decisions we make now will affect our futures. we need to think things through so we make the right choices.

All of us have to make our own decisions!
Although its not easy but sometimes we just have too..
Honestly, im afraid to make decisions by my own.
But sometimes through making decisions, we slowly got to know ourselves..
Sometimes, we dont have to depend to other people in making decisions...
We've just got to believe with our instincts and anticipate what will happen in the
future... :))
