120. Decisions can be made quickly, or they can be made after careful thought. Do you agree or disagree the following statement? The decisions that people make quickly are always wrong.
Whether significant or trivial, various decisions are made by people in everyday lives. Some of them require cautious consideration and long-term arrangements, while others, with a considerable quantity, need rapid and resolute judgments. Admittedly, a mature decision, which takes a large amount of time to think over, means more possibility to succeed, however, an urgent decision that made in very short time will not always wrong.
Several decisions can be easily made in no time while their accuracies need not to be worried about ---- once chosen, they are supposed to be right. A housewife determines what food to feed her family members every day. Obviously, no matter what decision she makes, either noodles or steak, her husband and children will not have any objections. Such matters, watching TV or seeing film, having a cup of tea or coffee, are only related to personal willingness while hardly result in profound influence. Saying without any exaggeration, they will never be wrong.
When it comes to something much more important, even matters that are vital to a enterprise, an experienced and well-trained person also is able to manage it well in no time. In modern society, efficiency, as well as the ability to deal with problems fast is the major factor determines whether a company can withstand the torrent of competition. Paying mass of time to ensure that its every decision is considerate and correct, a company will no doubt loss many business opportunities. However, given little time, a competent employer with abundant knowledge about avoiding risks, gaining profits, cooperating with others can make decisions that most of them are right, which is well enough for an enterprise. I suggest that it is the major reason that modern companies are fond of “person with experience”.
Still, decisions of some important events of life, such as marriage, purchasing a house, require to be thought over cautiously, but no one can say the decisions that people make quickly are always wrong. Even when students are hurrying of multiple choosing problem in school, they are confident that at least one quarter of their choices are correct!
