Decision making

     'Once you make a decision, the universe conspires (Unites) to make it happen'. This is said by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
When we look at the above words it gives an immense force to do things. Nevertheless, we have to do the major home work for the universe, i.e. Decision making itself.
 The decision making is one of the toughest tasks to do.

The decision making requires various skills such as probability, forecasting, history study, analysis and briefing. 
The best and productive way to do decision making is as a team. In a team there is an opportunity to get broad ideas on pros and cons of a concept, whereas, as an individual decision maker we have to deal with our self-thoughts. 
As in today’s world the opportunities and the tasks to perform are very broad, so team is emphasized as an option everywhere.

Right attitude is a great power (story):

😒A Businessman was deep in debt and could not see any way  out. 😒Creditors and Suppliers were demanding payments. He sat in the park, deep in thought, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy. 👍Suddenly an old man appeared before him and asked, "I can see that something is troubling you seriously". 👍After listening patiently the old man said, "I believe I can help you". 👍👍👍He asked the man his name, wrote out a cheque and put it into his hands saying, 👍"Take this money, meet me here exactly one year from today... and you can pay me back at that time". 👍Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come. 👌👌👌The businessman saw in his hands a cheque for $ 500,000... signed by Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in the world. 👍"I can erase my worries instantly...

Beyond Fear: How a Single Attitude Change Unlocks Growth:

  🌟 Open the Door to Opportunity: The Power of a Positive Mindset We often encounter situations that highlight the stark difference between a closed, fearful mindset and an open, positive attitude. The choices we make daily—even small ones—are often dictated by whether we focus on the potential loss or the potential gain. A perfect illustration of this took place in a restaurant. I noticed the owner kept the large front door closed, essentially hiding a valuable marketing display and limiting the shop's visibility. When I asked him why, his reason was simple and fear-driven: "What if people will eat and go without paying?" His focus was entirely on preventing a minor potential fraud cost . The Opportunity Cost of Fear I challenged him to compare that small potential loss (the fraud cost) with the much larger benefit he was sacrificing: the marketing opportunity cost . By keeping the door closed, he was missing out on: ...

Why people at big companies are happy:

- Lets refresh our memories   - employees are emotional creatures. Events from personal life affect professional life and vice versa.  - Healthy work-life balance means different things to different people. Top companies realize there is no one-size-fits-all approach – they don’t tell employees HOW to achieve work-life balance. - As long as employees feel they are a part of something that is bigger than themselves, they remain engaged. Merge this with the freedom to design professional career path and the well-planned learning opportunities to succeed on those paths. Click to read full article from LinkedIn:

In the above sequence, the humility has caught the centre stage. when i put my mind to think the humility as an actor, its got a lead role. The history has scripted many dynasties being ruined due to lack of humility.  Thus companies need humility among its people to have culture built to last for centuries. Humility means quality of being humble.  Listen, care, hope for others what you hope for yourself.  Being humble creates a relaxed mind.  And humility demands assertive mind and heart and smile for no reason.   credence life skill tools.

Pro-Assertive challenge?

          When you are on the way to a job interview. On the road, you put an emergency brake to avoid hitting a person passing by, and due to this a other bike hits your bike. How do you handle the situation? Both might become aggressive or either of one party. Even if you know that you are at wrong first, you might try to defend yourself. Now you just imagine and conclude what will be your reaction in this situation. Generally actions and interactions are of three categories such as Assertive, Passive and Aggressive. Action and interaction depends on how each person perceives and takes the meaning out of each others actions. Which is clearly explained in symbolic interaction theory.
