    Tips on Making a Decision

    Decision-making never ends. It is an important part of everyday life, and it is how we choose our path.   71  Sometimes we leave things to luck. Other times we take a more active role. Here are some of the ways we usually make decisions.

    ◆ Make a list of pros and cons（利与弊）. When you try to make a difficult decision, you can take out a piece of paper, and then list the pros and cons of each choice.   72 

    ◆ Ask a friend.  73  While I don’t think this is always true, I can see how friends can point out certain things that we may be unaware of. By getting a choice from a third party who knows us well, we can get good ideas that we didn’t take into consideration before.

    ◆ 74  Some decisions require that we know more about the subject we are deciding on. Making a choice without first doing some research can turn things into a nightmare（噩梦）, so don’t hurry. Take your time to search Google or Wikipedia or find a forum（论坛）to ask a couple of questions. Be careful and check your sources.

    ◆ Go to an expert. Seldom are we the most knowledgeable person on a particular subject. Our friends can sometimes be no better.  75  Investing（投资）? Talk to a market analyst. Feeling depressed? Go to see a psychologist. Not sure how to write a book? Discuss tips with other authors.

    A.      Do your research.

    B.      Leave our choices to chance.

    C.      We make decisions in all kinds of ways.

    D.     These can be important questions to ask.

    E.      This can help provide a bigger picture of what you are working with.

    F.      In this case it may be better to get advice from an expert in the field.

    G.     Some studies have shown that others may know us better than ourselves.
