Decisions?

When people make decisions what is it based on? Emotions? Logic? Some people just make rash decisions based on how mad they are that moment. Some people think out what they are doing and stop themselves from making choices that will effect the rest of there life. How people make decisions really can effect how there life will be or is. Sitting down and thinking about what you are about to do can help at times. On that same note being able to make the right decision while mad or really happy can be helpful too.
 
Although there are many examples I can choose the first I will use is gambling. This is something many people can get carried away with. Some people while gambling make decisions base on how happy they get when they win or how mad they get when they lose. The better gamblers think it out for example "man I just lost $100 dollars I should slow down how much money I am putting down and not over spend". Where the non thinkers "Man I just lost $100 but it is so fun if I bet again I should win".

This example could go either way. The thinker could save himself a lot of money just by walking away. Now the non thinker could lose a lot of money but staying. The other two things that could happen would be one the non thinker or the person acting on emotions could risk his money and win BIG. When last the thinker could walk away when his next hand or next use of a slot machine could have made him a lot of money. Next time you make a choice  remember don't always act on emotion but don't be afraid to take a risk.
