07 Jun Susan’s Sound Advice #209
Watching the footage of Congressman Anthony Weiner apologizing and admitting his bad choices made me once again ponder why so many people make choices that, in an instant, turn their lives upside down. If only they took the time to really think about the consequences carefully before acting on “instant gratification”, they could save not only themselves from disaster, but all those who love and care for them. Actions always have consequences. . some good and some bad. Consider carefully the costs and benefits of each possible choice. Costs are the negatives, the drawbacks. They are what you will give up as a result of the choice. Benefits are what you will get, the positives, or rewards, that come from the choice. Any choice you make will create both benefits and costs. The best choices are the ones in which benefits exceed the costs. Always think before you act. Here’s a rule to follow: Stop, Think, Think Again…then Act! By following this rule, you will avoid a lot of grief!
