The document discusses the differences between choices and decisions. It states that choices are empowering as they are based on facts rather than emotions, and provide options. Decisions, on the other hand, are often made without options and based on others' expectations. It emphasizes that life involves constant choosing, and failing to choose is equivalent to failing to live fully. Several principles are outlined, including listening to gain knowledge and understanding from others, preparing to seize opportunities, gaining confidence through facing fears, and sticking to one's principles.

• You need knowledge to make that Decision.
• Knowledge+ Decision= Choice
• Each and every action of our lives are filled with choices.
• Search your life and if there is at least one thing
you did not choose to become, then think over it again.

traumatic or negative experience
2. Talk about it with friends and loved ones

focus on it and understand that you need to resolve each issue
before you can move on.

27. 10. Stick to your Principles
It might be tough, but if you don't have something you can believe in, you
don't have anything.
If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.
No matter what's happened in your life, you can always lay claim to the fact
that from this day forward,
you've followed your principles to the best of your ability.
