Life is all about Making Choices

The bigger the choice is , the more importance we attribute to it. 

We assume that every choice ( whenever we have to weigh the facts and feelings in an attempt to get to the right thing to do) contains a good result and a bad result.

If you looked at a choice and clearly saw that one option was better than the other, the choice would not be difficult. It’s very simple and a straight forward decision you made from the choices available. 

Hard choices are difficult because no option seems to be superior to the other. When confronted with a difficult decision like these; 

• Should you start your own company or stay in your current job?  
• Pick investment X over investment Y? 
• Should I continue or break up a relationship? 

Big decisions like these can be agonizingly difficult. But that’s because we think about them the wrong way, 

says Philosopher and former lawyer, Ruth Chang. 

In this clear and this insightful  TED presentation on decision making and the human condition, Chang looks at how we exercise our freedom through the choices we make. It explores the relationship between reason and value, examines how we are heading into the sea of

pros and cons and offers a powerful new framework to define who we really are. I  hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 

Now, What hard choices have you faced in the past? What did you do? What hard decisions are you facing at the moment? Which choice will you make?
