haha so after another random chat, this time with yining, the idea of this post abt decision-making came abt and so yeah here i am typing another of Psyduck's Philosophies!!!
Ok so basically, decision-making is a process that u are making all the time in ur life i suppose...
what u eat
what u wear
what u do
who u like
who u dislike
who u admire
who u despise
etc etc etc...
yeah so actually if u din realise it, sometimes when we make decisions, we dun base it on our own feelings...we actually think of how others would feel or react if u were to make a certain decision..for example, if u know that saying some hurtful stuff to ppl will make them cry, den u will most probably shut up and keep quiet unless u are so insensitive dat u fail to realise how other ppl feel...pls note that this is juz an example...
or for example, u feel like doing something which ur family and frens actually feel otherwise abt..den there is a tendency for u to actually think of their perspectives when it comes down to a final decision...and sometimes u juz gotta give up ur own plans in view of wat other ppl think...
decision-making leads me to think of cost-benefit analysis which economists use to assess whether a plan should be carried out by weighing its social costs and benefits against one another (obviously u know wat would happen if one were more than the other >< even without being an econs student)
sometimes when we make decisions, we also look at the pros and cons of doing so...how that certain action would cause things to turn out...for better or for worse...
so by actually typing this entry out for around the last 30 mins, i have actually decided to stop studying and relax which i hope wun jeopardise my chances of doing well for the As..
=D
till the end of my As i hope to be able to type a few more entries becos that would mean i have either utmost confidence to do well without spending more time to study or perhaps it juz means that i have decided that enuff is enuff and no longer care abt the exams...haha..becos i seriously cannot imagine myself not resting at home and continuing to study for the whole of the next 2 and a half wks...
