Decisions [And NOT Outcomes] Matter

WHO can blame us if we are so results-oriented, so focused with the impending outcomes because for the longest time, our overall persona did evolve alongside that approach.  The old school of thought always told us that it's the end-result that matters, the final outcome is the most important thing to focus on.  And this is WHEN we're missing out the boat because of this off-tangent logic.  Decisions [And NOT Outcomes] Matter.  Yes, obviously, decisions will eventually lead to the outcomes BUT WHY should we put the cart ahead of the horse???

Over time, I have seen, heard and witnessed some people rushing to make DECISIONS on the basis that that DECISION can be overridden OR tweaked IF and WHEN needed.  And I DON'T totally disagree with it.  BUT WHAT gets missed out here are as follows:

• Ramifications of a wrong decision takes effect immediately [it just CAN'T be future-timed]
• Unlike technology, there is NO UNDO in human DECISIONS, give OR take a few exceptions
  

Multiple researches studied human DECISION-making within the confines of the laboratory with hypothetical DECISIONS that may OR may NOT involve the DECISION-maker's values, passions or other areas of expertise.  And their assumption is that the findings of these well-controlled laboratory studies will shed light n the important DECISIONS people make in their everyday lives.  The bigger challenge down the road is for us WHO hope to progress [over time] to eventually catapult themselves in leadership roles💥💥💥

And through the years, I have witnessed leaders WHO have proven their mettle as leaders.  Sadly, as an avid geo-politics student, multiple times I did witness leaders WHO lost by default because they spent precious time way prior to formulating DECISIONS.  And WHILE they can claim that caution is our best tool to avert mistakes, WHAT IF the DECISION-maker's timing of his DECISION 'missed the boat'?  WHAT IF the DECISION came too little, too late?  Isn't that more frustrating because a mistake [OR blunder] was committed simply because of the off-timing???

Our takeaway:  Unlike content material in today's social and electronic media, DECISION-making CAN'T piggy-back on the coattails of technology because the latter has got nothing to do with the former.  A correct DECISION done a step late becomes an incorrect DECISION.  The best intentions and act of goodwill may be embedded in such DECISIONS but WHAT decimates late OR ill-timed DECISIONS is that it looses its relevance WHEN time slips through.  YES dude, DECISIONS [AND NOT OUTCOMES] MATTER in life😊😊😊
