The Importance of Choices
We are happy to have choices in life. Life is like an exam. We may not be affected by a wrong choice in the exam, but it will impact the overall score, we won't get a perfect mark. Even though we are always reminded that nobody can be perfect, it isn't an excuse for the wrongdoings we may commit in life.
It may be hard to choose, especially when you don't even know or understand the question, that is why we are given a certain amount of time to think. The clock may tick down, but in the end, it's either we end up having the right or wrong choice or no chosen answer at all.
It's like having a multiple-choice test during exam week. I don't really know about most students but the ones that I came across with, most of them would probably have multiple choices rather than an essay question.
At first, I don't really know why people would think that when there's a multiple choice part in the exam, it will make their scores go higher. As time pass by, I believe that the advantage of having that thing is that we can disseminate things from other things. It's like even if we don't know the question or where it is going when we look at the answers, we can have an idea of what is the answer. I think that the disadvantage of having an essay question is that if you don't know the question, you can't put a sentence to build one paragraph. It can be hard, especially for those students who either didn't really study or had a mental block during the exam.
There are times when we were given challenges that may be hard to choose what to do first and next.
Life can be similar to an obstacle course. We are presented by it and we have to make quick and strategic choices because, with one wrong move, we will fall down.
You may have watched a lot of television shows or movies where there is an obstacle course involved. The TV shows that I have watched where kids to adults battle it out to prove whose the best are usually given the structure or how the obstacle course goes. So before the challenge begins, contestants can plan how they will pass each course to get to the end. Life is not like that, we are not presented with how challenges in life will be, instead, we just go with the flow and make choices in an instant. However, both life and an obstacle course will either have a happy ending or a failed outcome.
Most always want to feel like they have little authority over their life. It is not always the practice of developing judgments that are terrifying; rather, it is the mystery of the outcomes and ramifications of such choices that people worry about more than any other. Whenever we do something on our own, our self-esteem improves. Once we become older, our judgments get more difficult, and the consequences of those actions are becoming more serious.
