the science or the art or decision making

Decision making.. is it mathematical solving equation or decision making backed with scientific tools? or is plain guess work.
in the past few days I have been contemplating this thought. Before I head any further let me settle some dust out here. to me decision making is not the question and answer module to derive the outcome which will tell me what action I need to do. like I don't have to involve my self in making decision between choosing at kick start or self start my bike.

Decision making is about selecting the best action that I need to do, to do a task, or maneuver my self, the result of such action would be futuristic, and outcome of the decision that I make or the road that I travel may affect me and ppl around me.

I am told it’s a science fused with mathematical calculation, which can help you to understand the best option. I am told that it also gives me options and the risk factor attached with each option
Alright I am pretty crude at this, I have had no formal training nor have I read any books for decision making, however of what I have been able to learn from ppl is that I have to pin down all the factors that may affect the course of action that I am contemplating about, and then I need to draw a road map and attach all the possible outcome and the factors on the flip side. I am also told that I can work on the risk factor for each of these outcomes. And then I come down to the calculation, based upon the investment, returns, and risk factors of each of the outcome I pick the best.

However despite the convincing argument I believe that it not the way decisions are made. If I were to believe the scientific tool, then I am unable to answer the argument “why is that we fail in lot many decision that we make” if science and math are the best of the tools that I can use, and I fail despite using them, then what is the X factor that is vital in decision making.

This post of mine carries no conclusion, because by now you may have guessed, I have no conclusion to make, rather it’s an attempt to understand what it is. Looking fd to understand form you, the science or the art or decision making.

give ppl what they wann?

what struck me reading a blog is that we all are good marketers who give their customers what they want...."We often give ppl what they want"..... but then the second thought blew me down, leaving me cold and thinking are we actually this? do we give ppl only what they want. Apparently what the same sentence also speaks is that we do not give ppl what we can, i.e. if I am an individual who can deliver more than what ppl expect out of me, do I ever deliver that extra.
may be what ppl are looking for is a trivial..... to make it worst i would be elated to find that ppl appreciate what I have delivered, instead of rottening i would accept that, and also consider what i have delivered to be good.
what leaves me cold is that i have always believed ppl when they appreciated me, and my work, however i have never marked and checked if i have hit the bulls eye.

Perspective Bulb?

Perspective bulb??

 

Perspective bulb is about the perception that one holds, ever wondered what makes two people different, when we understand that knowledge is common and available to each of us.... what amuses me is what is that one ingredient that makes each of us different, that gives us the individuality, I believe its the perspective, its perspective that envisages us the world to us and deciphers different morals and understanding.

The bulb symbolises the spark of thought, the mind matters, the bulb also reminds us that we as humans have stopped evolving, electricity was the last “OS” for the today’s world… what’s next?
