Chapter 1 — What Is a Good Decision?

Listen in EnglishRead aloud by your device — pick a speed:

A decision is a choice: A decision is a choice. Every day you choose what to do, what to say, and what to leave for later.

Small and big choices: Some choices are small, like what to cook for dinner. Some are big, like choosing a job, a school for your child, or how to spend your savings.

More than a feeling: A decision is not just a feeling in the moment. It is a choice you make, and then you live with what follows.

Example

Ayesha's Rs. 10,000 choice: Ayesha has Rs. 10,000 saved. She can spend it on a new phone today, or keep it for her daughter's school fees next month.

Choosing is saying no: Both are real options. Choosing one means saying no to the other for now. That is what a decision is.
