We make a lot of decisions in our lives, and they are categorized as either good or bad, and most bad decisions are not about choice, but fail because of timing.
If you review a lot of your decisions, you obviously don't want to choose something bad for yourself, but timing is often the cause of failure.
Nutrition experts say that the worst time to eat is when you are hungry, you are not in control of yourself, but your hunger forces you to eat anything around you.
If you had a box of biscuits in front of you, you would eat it, and if it was a box of chocolates, you would eat half of it.
If you are passing by a grocery or supermarket and get hungry, you will inevitably go to the dessert shelf, these places only sell the worst food options, for this reason it is said do not shop while you are hungry, because your hunger affects your intelligence.
It is said don't make a decision when you are happy, sad or angry, you are not fully conscious.
How often we read about people in the United States whose loved ones died, and they got insurance money, and they spent it to relieve themselves.
I remember a friend who promised us a determination to have dinner in a fancy restaurant if the team won the Gulf Cup in 2013, and when the team won, the man fulfilled his promise and paid an exorbitant bill. Then he asked the next day, and I was with him: Was it worth it?
Why did you do what you did?
Or like the one who says my job is fed up, because I am depressed and I want to change, so he moves to another job, and after a year or two he is depressed again, and wants to change.
This does not realize that he suffers from chronic depression that affects his strategic decisions, and no matter how he changes his job, he will not progress an iota in his career path, because he is mentally ill and needs treatment for depression, not a new job.
And when you decide to marry, look at all aspects of the matter, do not be deceived by beauty and bad character, and do not marry unless you are sure that you are mentally mature, and can assume the responsibilities of life.
Do not lecture me about early marriage and its virtues, when you are between 25 and 30 staying up late and having fun and want the one you are engaged to get used to your teenage life.
Of course, it is not a mistake to change your job, but make sure that you are in a healthy and good psychological state before making this decision, and it is not a mistake to get married as we mentioned above, but the timing is more important than the decision.
Attitude
By all accounts, the 2005 movie Fun with Dick and Jane is pretty bad about an employee who loses his job when the company he works for is exposed to a fraud orchestrated by its boss.
Sony-owned Columbia showed the film during the trial of Kenneth Lai and Jeffrey Skilling, who are accused of masterminding a fraud in which they stole the money and savings of employees and investors of the Enron energy company, which they work for.
Don't make a decision when you are happy, sad or angry, you are not fully conscious.
