Since my childhood I have taken many decisions. AT the age of 6 I might have thought "Which one should I buy with my 1rs either chocolate or a slate chalk?". As I was growing I have encountered more and more situations I have to take decisions.I didn't know that the decisions I made everyday were the reasons for my today's position.Fortunately I hope I was taken good decisions in the most of the cases. To join in the residential school,commitment to the gate exam were the most successful decisions I have made. Taking Telugu medium in Intermediate education and ignoring eamcet were most poor decisions.I can tell that most of the decisions I have made in the past were gave results based on the luck only. They were not taken by understanding the problems and analysing the results. Unknowingly I had them and got the results.
But In every decisions there were at least two major aspects closer two each other . We do not know which one to choose I faced many situations like that , currently facing , In future also I will surely face. A decision depends on what you ask when a problem occurred but unfortunately in most of the cases there is no absolute answer.In the process of gaining something we have to loose the other.A trade-off (or trade-off) is a situation that involves losing one quality or aspect of something in return for gaining another quality or aspect.Sometimes we need to take decisions were quickly and accurately. Structured approach i.e tabulating all the pros and cons of all alternatives may give good results. We must not forget our goal in taking that decision.Weather the decisions is right or wrong we must ready to face the consequences of it.
Remembering a great poem
Robert Frost (1874–1963). Mountain Interval. 1920. |
1. The Road Not Taken |
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, | |
And sorry I could not travel both | |
And be one traveler, long I stood | |
And looked down one as far as I could | |
To where it bent in the undergrowth; | 5 |
Then took the other, as just as fair, | |
And having perhaps the better claim, | |
Because it was grassy and wanted wear; | |
Though as for that the passing there | |
Had worn them really about the same, | 10 |
And both that morning equally lay | |
In leaves no step had trodden black. | |
Oh, I kept the first for another day! | |
Yet knowing how way leads on to way, | |
I doubted if I should ever come back. | 15 |
I shall be telling this with a sigh | |
Somewhere ages and ages hence: | |
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— | |
I took the one less traveled by, | |
And that has made all the difference. | 20 |
