The very act of decision making has always amazed me. I bet psychology would have quite a few books on this topic, but each time after I have made a decision in life, when I just try to analyse it, I am amazed at how exactly it went through. Let me clarify that I do not regret the decisions I have made, but if I pose as an outsider and try to analyse I am left smiling at the fact that decisions are not only your own, but they are slaves of circumstances. Circumstances is a very crude word. How about I use the words - fate, destiny, God's will? Now does it feel important to you!!!
Am I being too critical? I really don't care. What I am more interested in now is not the decision, but the way in which I am going to take it to its fruition.
There were a gamut of things which I had planned on doing before leaving for my vacation for which I just couldn't find time, which involved catching up with friends and visiting old haunts.Too sad to even list them here. But then as they say - No Pain No Gain ;)
There will always be that proverbial 'Until next time'!!!

Talking of decisions, I am compelled to tell you about this course on irrational behavior I have taken up (behavioral economics to be specific). throws some good light on this aspect ;)
sounds interesting. will definately take it up.
Cognitive bias works in making quicker decisions. Look it up.
