Solution
Choices are tough and there can be many factors that contribute towards making a choice. Some choices can be based on emotion, while others can be well-thought-of and taken with our mind and wisdom. Some choices can even be based on our instinct rather than logic. Say for example an opportunity is brought upon us and we have to make an instant choice. We might decide by just thinking about what is right at that moment. But that choice could have the power of deciding the future course of our life. So we must think carefully before making our choices.
The following factors may contribute towards making a choice:
- Personal likes or dislikes
- Good or bad experiences of our past
- Social customs and beliefs
- Individual-level of intellect and wisdom
- Differences in age and education
- Conscience and sincerity.
