How to be good at decision making
It’s natural or maybe human behavior when someone tries to disagree with our opinions and our anger is triggered. Our adrenaline is boosted which results in actions coming from long-established instincts in a need to show some resistance.
Having good judgments and making good decisions depends on the kind of approach we possess. Some ideas feel like our allies; we want them to win and we want to defend them. Other notions and ideas seem like our enemies. So, we tend to bring them down. The strings of our perception are controlled unknowingly by which side we want to win. Some people are able to penetrate their prejudices and motivations and try to look at the facts and pieces of evidence open-mindedly.
Let’s take the example of a cricket match. When any decision is incorrectly taken by the umpire against one team, the players show their anger in protest but when the same happens with their opponents, they celebrate in joy even if they know that the decision was wrong.
In other words, we get electrified when something unfair happens to our rivals although we know the same could happen to us.
Now the question arises, how to overcome such a biased and aggressive mindset?
Our innate urge should be to observe the discoveries honestly and accurately even if it seems beyond our comfort zone. We should feel satisfied when we learn something new or a craving to crack a mystery. We should get fascinated when our expectations are contradicted. We need to be composed and ascertain that our self-esteem is not anchored by how right or wrong we are about any particular thing or concept.
According to researchers, this bunch of features concludes good judgement. People having such traits leave an impression that they’re primarily not about how much privy they’re about anything but about how they feel. We need to learn how to feel proud instead of ashamed when we realize we might have been wrong about something. We gotta learn to feel intrigued not defensive when we’re contradicted.
To end this, all I wanna say is instead of getting confined by our own thoughts, we should try to see the world crystal clear.
