by doing what is right
Any thing which we decide on our own way
means a decision made by one
Outcome
Tautological or Circular Logic
Decision is something which
makes human to think about
future
A selecting a course of action for the
proposed problem statement or selecting a
mode of action to achieve an objective(short
or long term). When we have made a
decision, we anticipate an outcome
associated with it. The outcome establishes
that a decision was made.
Thinking
Decision is something which we once take we follow it and
before taking it we should think of all pros and cons and
after that we take it. When I get to know all of it's pros
and cons and when i feel like yeah now I can follow it, then
I get to know that I have made one decision
Clarity of Action
When we feel con
fi
dent on any topic, then
we make decisions..
The capability of making a wise choice and
having a
fi
rm hold over it .When ur con
fi
dent
that your decision isn't having negative
impact then it's a right one
Confident
Decision makes my life to go in a right path
Deciding to make an action
A situation in which one of the options has to
be chosen based on the conditions and in
order for a desirable outcome.
Analysis/Judgment
Decision means deciding or selecting a
particular task or goal and to achieving it
Making a judgement after looking into the
problem thoroughly
Whenever we have choices in life to choose one thing
then we have to think logically considering the beni
fi
ts or
harm to us or others this process is called decision.
Whenever my choice clears these steps then I know that I
have made the decision.
A conclusion or resolution reached after
consideration
Something which we decide to do
Decision is a judgement. Good results need perfect decisions
