Wise decisions

In life at some point of time, we have to take decisions, decision to choose money over security, prosperity over stability, family over work, personal objective over professional objective. I think decisions taken at this point of time makes or break a man.

We hear of so many successful people around and I think they all would have taken the right decision at some point of time, again none of them is a wrong choice but just that at any given situation only one can be chosen and if you make a wrong choice then there is nobody else to blame to.

There can be other situations also in which you would come across equally compelling decisions, it's then your character is tested. If you think that you have never been offered a choice then it's your mistake, you have never opted to choose rather live with whatever has been provided to you.

One interesting story that comes to my mind is “Mr. Sen once complained to the railway station master in 1909 that while he was attending nature’s call the train was flagged off and he had to rush all the way back, he wanted the station master to take a decision to punish the guard, instead the station master took a wise decision to install toilets in train….”

Wasn’t that a wise decision!
