1 or 0 ?
1 or 0 ?
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
........... few lines ............
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
- Robert Frost , "The Road Not Taken" 1916.
It's been over 100 years since this beautiful poem has been published, yet, isn't apt in our lives?
We are often confused within to decide.
It's isn't so easy to decide based of IF 1, go right or IF 0, go left.
Life gives us compliments and complications to choose . Decision making dilemma is beautifully described in the poem, which one out of two roads to be chosen and the traveller can't travel in both simultaneously.
There should be a time gap and priority if he has to decide to travel on both ways.
If he as only either or option, poet explained that he has chosen the one 'less traveled' by.
It could be breaking his own monotony and new experience in an entirely new field wherein less old references are available.
Decision making is an essential part of our life. In personal life, we tend to decide based on what we aspire to be . In professional life, we tend to take decisions for someone else benefit mostly (for the organisation).
The success of the decision is known only after sometime. Then we will analyse whether we have made the right or wrong.
I have been making certain decisions on one basis fairly, "Am I going to regret after the time is gone ?" . This belief helped me to overcome dilemma of certain situations.
When i was introduced to 7 hidden traps in decision making and i am confident to take better decision hereafter... One more important question helped me to get a better clarity, "Am I deciding based on my current pleasure or future experience?"
I would like mildly modify it, "Am I deciding the best for my futuristic pleasing experience wherein benefits of all are available?"
I would think of all possible options and i am confident in deciding best for ourselves.
Everyone aren't blessed to have
'What they like to work?', 'what they are best at?' , 'Does the world needs it?' And 'Are wr getting paid for it?' . Our best decision is to work of current position and slowly migrate towards the matching coordinate. It may takes years to accomplish for someone but they would have made a peace with it. There could be a clash in "being selfish is choosing his/her pleasure" and "being helpful to their dependents/surrounding environment".
Sometimes at the current moment, we have been 'always' told to be 'helping others' over our 'self interest' and final days of life , we have been again questioned- 'Have u ever lived for yourself?'
What an irony, isn't?
Let's decide the best ๐๐๐
