the other day while i was riding in the car, i was reflecting on how people make decisions. what really affects one's decisions.
well, as time walks on by, so we find more choices available at our fingertips. varieties, choices and options often has been regarded as a higher standard of living as we learn in economics. but have you realized how much these varieties force us to make the many decisions in our daily lives?
even choosing milk choice these days is difficult!
there can be many factors which affects decision making. but how rational have you been?
everytime i am made to draw a decision, i find myself drafting out pros and cons, whats and what nots. seems very radical. extreme common. i even find myself having a list of criterias to fit for a boyfriend, fml. seemingly very pathetic. all my life, i always did the rational. the conservative. never the unexpected. i have seen girls who gives up education opportunities due to relationship. i have even seen girls who follow suit the choice of education of their boyfriends. (doesn't mean your boyfriend is doctor, you also go be doctor ok, fyl)
like/love/admiration can be extremely influential. but can we call this naive? or do we call this, intuition?
in situations like this, where feelings and formality collide, how do we decide? when do we draw a line?
how often you find yourself drifting away from your usual decision making routine? how often you find yourself following intution?
and, this post is not about me. i never ever allow my education opportunities collide with my personal life. i drew lines when i had to. i have the kind of discipline no one else has. when it came to formal matters like education choices and decisions, it was never about peers. it was only about me. i deem to look dumb, 'not confident' or blur, but never irrational when it comes to matters like this.
however, with every decision i made, even if it overflows with regret, i will never admit my wrong. because all i do, is to keep fighting.
in the end, every wrong decision made, and fought for, becomes a more meaningful right decision.

ps. months ago, i made a decision with my heart, i hope my head doesn't get chopped off. haha.
