decision-making

Trust yourself and try not to get lured off course by conflicting opinions that don't seem to sit right with you.

The best way to encourage out of the box thinking is to draw the box correctly in the first place.

In every moment of choice, you create a new destiny.

Do the things you like to be happier, stronger & more successful. Only so is hard work replaced by dedication.

Time creates Let time work at your projects.

If we could eliminate the concept of town and return to live in small villages, all world problems were solved.

Divorce is the start point for a brand new life. Don't lose the chance to redesign it upon your dreams!

Let your projects be independent organisms. They will develop their own beautiful architecture.

By not making your own choices, you give up power to change your life.

Making it happen, It's just something you gotta do.

In life, most decisions are a case of let go to get.

Characteristics of System 1: _ generates impressions, feelings, and inclinations; when endorsed by System 2 these become beliefs, attitudes, and intentions _ operates automatically and quickly, with little or no effort, and no sense of voluntary control _ can be programmed by System 2 to mobilize attention when a particular pattern is detected (search) _ executes skilled responses and generates skilled intuitions, after adequate training _ creates a coherent pattern of activated ideas in associative memory _ links a sense of cognitive ease to illusions of truth, pleasant feelings, and reduced vigilance _ distinguishes the surprising from the normal _ infers and invents causes and intentions _ neglects ambiguity and suppresses doubt _ is biased to believe and confirm _ exaggerates emotional consistency (halo effect) _ focuses on existing evidence and ignores absent evidence (WYSIATI)_ generates a limited set of basic assessments _ represents sets by norms and prototypes, does not integrate_ matches intensities across scales (e.g., size to loudness) _ computes more than intended (mental shotgun) _ sometimes substitutes an easier question for a difficult one (heuristics) _ is more sensitive to changes than to states (prospect theory)* _ overweights low probabilities* _ shows diminishing sensitivity to quantity (psychophysics)* _ responds more strongly to losses than to gains (loss aversion)* _ frames decision problems narrowly, in isolation from one another*

Mindless action without a real understanding of the ramifications is only likely to result in serious miscalculations or a colossal waste of time. Avoid both by using your judgment, filtered through both knowledge and experience. Use common sense and logic as a counterbalance to emotion.

The inconsistencies that haunt our relationships with animals also result from the quirks of human cognition. We like to think of ourselves as the rational species. But research in cognitive psychology and behavioral economics shows that our thinking and behavior are often completely illogical. In one study, for example, groups of people were independently asked how much they would give to prevent waterfowl from being killed in polluted oil ponds. On average, the subjects said they would pay $80 to save 2,000 birds, $78 to save 20,000 birds, and $88 to save 200,000 birds. Sometimes animals act more logically than people do; a recent study found that when picking a new home, the decisions of ant colonies were more rational than those of human house-hunters. What is it about human psychology that makes it so difficult for us to think consistently about animals? The paradoxes that plague our interactions with other species are due to the fact that much of our thinking is a mire of instinct, learning, language, culture, intuition, and our reliance on mental shortcuts.

When kids made a decision for themselves they have a vested interest in showing they were right. Lee wanted to prove to me that he had made the right choice so he worked hard and did well. If we'd forced him to go to college somewhere else all the incentives would've been different. Then he would have had a motive to prove that we were wrong.

You have to choose your path.You have to decide what you wish to do.You are the only person that can determine your destiny.
