LOOk BEFORE YOU LEAP. Have you ever been in a situation that you were so desperate to come out of by all means? If I may ask, what happened afterwards? Or rather, what were the aftermaths? I guess you really don't want to even talk about it now. It's okay, let's take a look at some implications that are associated with hasty decisions. More often than not when we find ourselves in awkward positions, the first instinct is to deal with it right there, immediately! but it majorly leads to regrettable results that sticks with one for a very long time. Then the question is: What would one rather do in such situation? COMPOSURE is key. A very calm and coordinated disposition is very important to tackle even the most awkward situation. When the heat is on , you can't afford to add to it by going 'off the handle'. Your sense of reasoning should take the front seat. As one of my lecturers would say "We must blend emotions with intellect(or reasoning)". On the other hand PRIORITY also comes handy as a result of doing what's best in the long term. You must see beyond the immediate situation at hand, you cannot afford to let your excitement(good or bad) get the better part of you, IT CAN BE TOO DANGEROUS! Then as a complimentary approach, SEEK GOOD COUNSEL: One or two advise won't hurt. There are people around with good sense of judgment who you could consult on issues from time to time, after all, you never know! Have you ever heard the saying: ''A problem shared is a problem solved''? Besides the entire processing, usually, it's even more costly to make mistakes that one cannot reverse than to be cautious before it even happens. So next time you want to rush into taking that decision, you may want to LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP!
