Decision making

Theres really nothing to argue or debate here. Obviously everyone has made decisions before and I can plainly state that decisions are what defines what and who we are. In fact, you can quote in me my earlier statement because thats what i really believe in.

Very often in life, we see many of these kind of decision making people and yes, i believe all of us are guilty of this one as well. For example in a test there is a multiple choice and you are stuck between two choices. In the end you go for say (B) when the answer is (C). At the end of the day, no matter how much u "thought" (C) was correct and "knew" it was correct you still chose (B). What matters is Not the process actually but the end result. Just like how it doesn't matter what training process a person did, even if he did the best training process if he still loses the competition he still loses. That will not change the fact that perhaps he had made the decision to have the best diet, the best trainer, the best training process, he still lost. Very often we get caught up with the middle part, the process which don't get me wrong, its still important but know that its the end result that matters. Maybe a good example for gamers say 2 teams are playing against each other in a game of Dota. What matters at the end is who won the game by killing the world tree/frozen throne at the end, not the number of players the team has killed. Usually the team that is higher level and has higher players killed wins but it still does not mean a thing till the end of the game. Its the end result thats important. Just in case you guys still don't get it, no matter how skilled a player is in a soccer game, as long as the opponent team just scores more points than you, you still lose. What matters is NOT how many tricks you did nor the speed you run at. All of these as mentioned is important still (the process) but its the end result that should always be the focus because that is what settles everything.

I've noticed over my life different type of decisions and decision makers. I may have missed out a few here and there but then again, i'm not writing some kind of thesis for Bachelor of Something (most likely Arts cause they deal with stuff like this) and depending my future career on it.

These are what I term the immature decision makers:

Crowd Followers
Very often these type of people are those who follow what other people's opinion is in life. Their decisions are based on other people's decisions and they to a certain extent lack what i call a backbone. Examples of these type of decision makers are people who follow a certain fashion because thats what is "in" now, not because they like it nor because it defines them but because thats what is cool and therefore will want to join in. They include people who are afraid to speak out their likes and dislikes because they do not want to be seen as someone who is weird etc. For example in a group, say person D just says the roasted chicken taste average/bad because everyone is saying that. Now a very important thing to note is that crowd followers tend to know what is going on so you are not one if one of the similar instance happens to you: You travelled to another foreign country and you ask the recommendation of a friend living there for a long time for a good dish to eat. That is not being a follower to say, but that is what you call smart.

The "Placebo" effect
The phenomenon is often witnessed in many fields. Its been incorporated into my current list due to its unique characteristics. Basically its better to give an example than to give a full description on what a Placebo effect is. For example a person is suffering from cancer and he is given a tablet that is said to have cured thousands before him though its really nothing but a sugar tablet (so yes its a lie obviously) and strangely enough he really gets cured because he believed in it and yeah its some kind of miracle. Thats what is a Placebo effect, where a Placebo (a substitute) is used to achieve the same effects as the real thing. The placebo effect decision makers are people who have made up their minds but change them once they find out the truth. So say the man who had cancer finds out he has been eating nothing but sugar candy tablets all these time and though he is cured of cancer, he gets it back again (abit extreme of an example but its just an example). A real life example from what i have personally seen (no names revealed) just a couple of days ago. I just eating at Noodle Kingdom and the Placebo effect decision maker person was having some noodle soup thing. It has been a thing for him it seems to note the degrading quality of places as well as having a note that the food is strangely not up to his standard (as the best i've EVER heard is "yeah its not bad" or once in a while "ya, its good"). Thats what you call really high standard. Anyways, he looked and tasted the noodles and said it was one of those cheap and lousy noodles to my amusement so i plainly told him that it was all handmade. Now this is where the placebo effect comes in, he looks at the noodle and looks at me and looks again at the noodle. Scratches his head then strangely his butt simultaneously he looks up at me and says "actually come to think about it, you can see it is all different like in size etc, yeah it really taste great actually". Now that is what i call a placebo effect. There are numerous examples to give but i think you should already get it.

Rebel/counter type
Something i'm guilty to sometimes. Its really the type of decisions that is based on other's decisions but we do the opposite. For example due to the high amounts of internet explorer (IE) users, there has been a wide range of computer viruses etc that has been targeted at IE users. Now, i'm a user of IE, not a vivid fan or anything but i like the way it works. But due to the large number of viruses etc, everyone around me seems to be using firefox instead much to my chagrin. And many of them too have been asking me to convert over due to its "safety" issues but because of the number of people telling me that, i've made a rebel decision to choose IE over firefox. This is can be commonly called "reverse psychology" due to its huge similarities however my discovery is Original so i claim Originality over it (and yes there are differences actually). Another example is perhaps a person ahd the decision to either stay at home and play games or had the choice to go out and play. He/she really has no preference but because his/her parents told him/her to stay at home, the person decided to go out. Amazing rebel decision!

I want it that way
These are often the irritating types and to be honest the trend setters of many societies. Sticking to their own opinions only and often imposing theirs on others, these decision makers are what usually set the trends and are irritating to the core if you ever disagree with them. Just like the title i have given them which i admit is the same as the song sung by Backstreet Boys, they often do not really care about other's feelings. Though there are many instances in history because they cared so much for a person, they will base all their decisions for the better welfare of that particular person and others around him/her will be >>> ( =.='') to the max. I do not think an example is needed because i've came across so many of these people that if you have not came across such a person your crazy. But for the sake of those crazy people (I was taught to be nice to mentally handicapped people), i'll impart an example. Say a place is really dirty etc etc, and we know as a fact that it needs cleaning. The "I want it that way" person would just insist on his/her decision that it does not need cleaning cause its clean (actually because his/her is lazy)

Now this is what i call a Mature decision makers

Mature Decision makers/making
It is a mix of "I want it that way" and "Crowd followers". These type of people are not afraid to say their preference and their interest. They may modify their believes upon openly and willingly listen to other people's opinion but should admit their previous preference. Not to mention that they also make their decision based not only on their on preference etc but on listening to other people's advice. A good example of this is ME! Yes ME! Alright! Wad up! Awesome!
o.k, maybe not really me but i'm getting there. lol.
