7.5 Do you agree or disagree: Most people prefer others making decision for them than making a decision for themselves.
The sensitive issue how to make a decision for you is not as easy as it seems. Definitely some people do like living in a perfect arranged life. For one side, this way may be easy and relaxed. Like a big word to say: “ Every dog has its day。” There will be less pressure and responsibility. However, I have to lend more support to the view that a person with strong enterprising spirit prefers making decisions for himself or herself. There are numerous explanations why I hold confidence on it. If we think about this topic deeply, we could consider that it is likely to make decisions by your parents or your friends are not proper. The main statement with that point is that you are supposed to hold your own life totally. There is little room for doubt that destiny can be built by your own determine and experience. For instance, when I was a child, I was interested in drawing very much, and my dream is always to be a painter. In addition, I am so lucky that my parents support me actively. When I went to the university, I chose to be a fine arts student instead of a science student like my father. I am not regret the decision, even knowing a lot of setbacks are on the way in the future, but I am sure this is my dream. Moreover, another factor rests on the fact that decided by yourself is able to lead to the interest and encourage us to be succeed. Interest is the biggest power. If we can finding and deciding what is the most meaningful thing for ourselves is really helpful to going to the success. Someone said that “There is nothing brilliant nor outstanding in my record, except perhaps this one thing: I do the things that I believe ought to be done.” So making a correct decision is worthy. There is bound to be third subtle reason, namely, making decision by yourself is an excise to grow up. As an adult, we may encounter different kinds of opportunities or even frustrations, at that time; we have to rely on ourselves.
Generally speaking, recognizing above the facts that are significant helps us to reach the fact that learning to make decisions by ourselves is a necessary lesson.
