Is your decision Right......?


Is your decision Right?

Hello Friends,

A decision is a string of thought logically connected to arrive at a meaningful conclusion. The impact of any decision is realized after years. And the worst part is that it can never be reversed. The problem with decision-making is that we cannot decide what we want from life and hence we cannot decide what the right decision is. It’s like sitting on the driving seat of Ferrari in a foreign country where people speak foreign language. You have the power but don’t know how to apply it. The bottom line is that decision should be carefully and craft fully adopted. 

I live in the city of dreams, Mumbai. Thousands of folks come here every day looking for a better future. Life in this city is always on the move. All modes of transports are jam packed with people from morning till late night. It’s difficult to judge whether this city gives back proportionately of what it takes from you. Before moving here, I was very skeptical of my decision. It’s all about survival of the fittest. Was it the right decision? 
I don’t know.

An aspirational management student, who was popular for his quick-wit and on the toes thinking, had a dream. The dream was to earn and the motivation was a better life. As rightly said, over-confidence can be damaging. When the campus placement was in progress I rejected most of the opportunity on the pretext that something better was in store. Finally, I had come to the last day of the placement season. I had no choice but to accept the last offer.  Was my decision right? I don’t know as yet.

I was comfortably working with a newly started Micro Finance company in Mumbai. The driving force is the General Manager. We often used to catch up for a quick smoke and as you would know that’s the best opportunity to network with seniors. He is a real BIG guy. He has worked with several banks over the period in almost all the functions. There is not much left for him that he hasn’t done in banking world. But he suffers from high Blood Pressure and equally high diabetes. He has lots of responsibilities to shoulder. He travels almost 20 days in a month at the age of 45. He hardly gets a chance to spend quality time with his family. Undoubtedly, he is successful yet not satisfied. This paused my life for a second. Do I want to see myself like him in the next 15 years and the answer was straight NO. I see my career was headed at the same direction. Changing job was not the solution. All paths will leads to the same destiny.  Is it the right decision?

Another person who has influenced my life greatly was my Ex-boss in my ex-company. He is a real SMART guy. He has been accredited top performer twice in the country. But what was he actually doing. “SELLING CREDIT CARDS” I was unsure whether he is utilizing his gift in the right way. Has he taken the right decision?

Mumbai really offers the opportunity to network with really some intelligent and successful people in India. As said, a man’s net worth is determined by his network. Often observed that people are motivated by success of others but my situation was different. I was motivated to do more by seeing the failure of others. Failure doesn’t necessarily means in terms of money. But peace & more importantly, time in today’s world. Is it the right choice?

We can to a certain extent evaluate our options based on the pros and cons. But no one can say for sure how the decisions will back-fire unless you take it. I have reached the point in life where my credit card is maxed out and I’m on the verge of losing my present job. I have EMI’s to meet and commitments to fulfill. In a nutshell, I’m screwed, substantially. But one thing is sure. Problems are not ever-lasting. There is always good news at the end of the road. My hope was not yet dead.

I was always scared when my train/bus enters a tunnel. Because it’s dark and there is no surety whether I will be able to make it to the other side. The only source of motivation is dim light at the end. I’m inside the tunnel now. I could see hope at the end but I need to keep going to make it till there. I realize courage is to do what you are afraid of doing. There is no courage until you are scared. It’s OK to be scared.
I urge the readers to find out their strength and weaknesses before you enter the tunnel. Note down three weaknesses & strengths and be honest with yourself. It’s OK if your weaknesses are outnumbering you strength.

Mine is below:

Strength
·         My witty communication skill
·         High level of confidence
·         Ability to assess situation quickly and react instantly

Weakness:
·         Over-confidence
·         Wavering focus
·         Procrastination
I’m sure you would have realized yours.

I have heard about people making money online. But never believed in it because for me earning means to work day and night in an enclosed office and getting paid at the end of the month. Luxuriously, sitting at home and doing stuff online was never a choice. Until I was proved wrong. I was introduced to a marketing system called Carbon copy Pro which guides you to “sell” products online.
Selling was always a painful task because it requires convincing. But if you analyze it is a scientific process comprising step-by-step task to be performed to close a deal. It was often believed that some people have the knack to sell better than the rest but no more. The biggest secret was available online. I know I will sound ridiculous but I stand by my words. I will not try to sell an idea or concept but strongly urge you to experience it yourself and then “DECIDE”.
 
It is often difficult to trust an article or a random post because often it’s misleading. I had the same pre-conceived notion. Unless I took the chance and thankfully I did. I will say no more but let you explore the power of internet and an excellent system called Carbon Copy Pro. For a brighter tomorrow log on to http://www.write-your-paycheck.com/
