Introduction

Making decisions in life is inevitable for all of us. Whether its something as small as selecting the cloth to wear or something as huge as choosing a marriage mate, its better to consider the possible consequences of our decisions and think it through. There are many wrong things in people's lives today that could have been avoided if they looked before taking the jump. Well, if you had already spilled the milk, here are 3 reasons why the next time, you should look before you leap.

1. It shows maturity: Young people are prone to making hasty decisions and regretting them later. But mature people are known to take their time to think things true. It shows better sense and intelligence when we think we before making decisions. Whether its about how we spend our time, money or other resources, common sense and maturity demands that we consider all possible outcomes of the decisions and act wisely.

2. It saves you embarrassments: When you make a really bad decision, it could lead to embarrassment. People that look up to you make begin to let you down. It could even lead to demotion in your place of work. Wrong decisions that affects many other people will definitely go public. And when you are the reason other people suffer loss, you it adversely affects your reputation and how people take you. So when you look before you leap, you avoid embarrassments.

3. You wont have to correct mistakes: Sometime, its even harder to live with our mistakes. You have a terrible mess to clean up if you do not look before you leap. For example, if you make a terrible mistake in a marriage mate, the results might be long-lasting. Your wrong decision may even reflect on the kids you will later have. The same go with financial decisions. If you took a big loan without a proper way to repay it, you may never be free from debts - and you live with them. So to avoid creating a mess to clean up later in life, look before you leap my friend!

Conclusion

Take your time before making decisions - especially big decisions. Its better to make a good decision later than to hurry to a mistake earlier. Whatever you want to do, look before you leap and you will be happy you did.

It is better to calculate before deducing. It does not mean that the calculations will always bring fruition, but if you just jump it might also not always bring fruition.

I made many mistakes for being impulsive and due to the consequences of each mistake, now I take my time, I analyze in depth every decision and sometimes I consult with someone to have another opinion.

I bought some coins back in december bullrun. Should have waited.

Looking before you leap is a valuable asset in making a good decision in life. I will like to add that it will help you to save time you would have lost doing the wrong thing or taking the wrong approach.
