IT'S BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY
I disagree with this statement because it’s very difficult for me to consider my problems in DETAIL. If I want to be safe I must spend a lot of time to think ABOUT my actions. Another problem is doubt. If I spend a lot of time thinking I will doubt my decisions.

Many people prefer to consider their decisions in detail. They think that it’s a right way to take the decision. In fact, we take decisions every day, but we don’t think about them. We believe in our intuition.. If we start thinking about every action in our life, we will WASTE our time ON thinking. I think that the meaningS of the wordS safe and indecisive are too CLOSE. It’s very easy to transform your safety in indecision. For example, If I have one question with two possible answers. I have two possibilities. The first is to spend a lot of time searching for the correct answer. The second is to take A decision immediately and to save time. If I make A mistake I’ll choose the other answer. In that case I’ll save time and I’ll take the right decision.

If I take A decision fast I will improve my self-confidence. I’ll believe in my mind. If I spend a lot of time thinking about decisions, I’ll lose my self-confidence. I believe that if I’m in doubt about one question, the answers of the question are OF equal worth. If they are OF equal worth, it’s not good to spend a lot of time OVER THE question.

In conclusion I will change the name of the question. IN MY OPINION it’s better to try than to be safe. I think that If we believe in our intuition we will save time and we will take CORRECT decisions.

    In making a decision on risk taking activities people usually have unrealistic expectations towards the outcome. In some way we feel that "risks beyond our control are more frightening than those we consider ourselves in charge of. So we drink and drive, and buckle the seat belt behind us, and light up another cigarette, on the strength of the illusion that to these risks at least we are invulnerable"…

    Author Malcolm Gladwell in his book “ Blink: the power of thinking without thinking” published by Brown and company Time Warner Book Group in 2005 addresses the topic of how people think and about decision making, and argues that spontaneous decision making, can be just as useful as or even better than a time-consuming judgment.He supports this claim by introducing the idea of "thin slicing" which is gathering small amounts of information in a short amount of time in order to reach a conclusion and, ultimately, make a decision.then, the book presents examples when blink-of-an-eye choices can go awry and how our senses can be fooled and fail us. Finally in the last chapters of the book demonstrate ways we can learn to control our ability to…

    Decisions are just a part of life that we all participate in; all those silly little decisions that we make affect not only our life but the lives of those around us. When we are making some of those decisions we don't even consider that they could cause our lives to self destruct. In the moment they seem so simple and insignificant. Those simple decisions have a greater power than we could have ever imagined. They have the power turn the tide and make waves in our life; throwing us off course to another destiny.…

    Regardless of time, culture, or location, individuals frequently come in contact with the omnipresent issue of decision making. In order to arrive at a conclusion, a person needs a sense of assurance in which to make a decision. One’s failure to take a position due to a lack of security does not necessarily constitute a disadvantage. On the contrary, even though one’s certainty in a situation may build confidence, the benefits of doubt outweigh those of certainty, for not only does doubt provide hope and allow one to have conversations with others without the presence of biased thoughts, it also leads to the much progressed legal system that exists today.…

    Certainty Versus Doubt

    Behind every risk of decision made, or that will ever be made, lies certain varying degrees of certainty and doubt; the individual must decide based on the situation. However, in relation to both short term and long term activities, people should not act with a high degree of certainty, but rather act with a sensible, if not a considerable amount of doubt. In fact, the masses should act with a heavier amount of doubt, and a minuscule amount of certainty; either to save themselves from excessive pretension, or for the safety of themselves and those around them.…
