In making decisions in your life, which you usually follow, the one that your heart says or your mind says? In choosing a partner, in your career, in your everyday living who wins in dictating you, your HEART or your MIND? It's tough choosing between the two. Your heart may say YES, but your MIND may say NO or vice versa. Most of the time there is a contradiction. Which you think would be better to choose, HEART or MIND?

definitely mind coz our mind REALLY what controls everything, even the heart. Our heart just beats blood and oxygen to supply our body but the mind does the work of thinking and every decision making. So whatever explaination one does have, mind still what follows, and not the heart. ;)

I somewhat agree with you.. Mind is put above in our head so we will use it first. Mind dictates what will be good for us. Heart can betray us, it can't tell whether it will do good or bad to us, later on we will just realize we had made the wrong decision because we follow our heart. But maybe the decision made by HEART may make us happy forever.. We don't know, we can't tell..Choosing between the two will really be tough..

Yes because in our life, decisions aren't easy to deal with... you have to use your mind very carefully (and not your heart), to make right decisions in life. And yes, sometimes, maybe you think your heart helps you decide something but still your mind is the responsible for making and realizing if what you'll decide along the way would be the right decision to make. Mind THINKS, heart just BEATS. Mind do all the THINKING and not the heart. Although heart helps supply blood and oxygen to your brain to think, but still brain do all the work and dictates. ^_^

That is a really hard question to answer because i've been through that in a relationship. My mind knew that the girl i liked would hurt me (break my heart), but my heart still liked her a lot. In the end i couldn't force myself to love her completely because i was too scared that she would hurt me. So my mind won, but i believe that we should let our heart decides. What i did was a mistake because i should have at least tried and when you're heart is in it, you usually would not have any regrets because you did it for something you love.

I think you have to make big decisions with both. You can't be completely clinical about every decision because you lose human compassion and feeling. You can't be completely emotional because you lose rationality and intellectual awareness. ESPECIALLY when choosing a partner or career.

In my opinion, it's best to follow the advice of heart when confronted with situations that require courtesy. While it is best to follow the tips of brain/ mind when dealing with situations requiring courage.
