11.The decisions that we make shape us throughout our lives.No matter what decisions we make,good or bad,each one puts us on a new road in the future.Make a bad decision?No problem.Learn from the decision and make another decision to get on a different path.This is advice that I got from Tony Robbins in his book Awaken the Giant Within.This is a book that I recommend(推荐) to anyone wanting to develop a fire to make changes in their life.It helped me to understand how fear of making poor choices was hinderingme from becoming the great man who I am today.Now I am not saying I am a well-known person in any particular circle.But I am the king of my castle working hard and trying to make good decisions in regard to the paths that I have chosen.I am a great man in the eyes of my wife and my children.And that is all the recognition that I need in my lifetime.And I know that my past failures have been the building block that I continue to use to build my career and self-image in my community that I live in.
Ben Lerer,cofounder of the CEO of Thrillist Media Group,is a good example of this.In a n article on the Fast Company website,Lerer talks about this very subject.He says,"I've had to make some really tough decisions but finally,I think the best companies are those that can recognize when something isn't goi ng right,and fix it,instead of just turning a blind eye because it's easier."Great people make decisions.When a decision does not have the desired result,make a different decision.It does not get any simpler than that.
