Most people prefer others making decision for them than making a decision for themselves.
Over the recent decades, there is a growing tendency that people prefer making decision by their parents, friends and classmates, etc. On the contrary, a large majority of people still make decision by themselves according to their own knowledge, experience and judgment. As far as I am concerned, I insist the latter opinion for the following reasons as rendered below.
It is indisputable that we can achieve success rapidly if someone more professional help us make decision like our parents, for they have lived in this world longer than us and they have a deep and wide understanding on certain things according their own experience and knowledge. For instance, my parents help me choose the university and major in which I involved after high school graduation. It has been proved by my own experience and thought that their decision is absolute right and definitely suitable for my professional development in the future. Due to lacking of life experience on certain events, we do not have such deep understanding as our parents do. Consequently, sometimes decision made by other people for us may be a better choice.
However, those people, who prefer to making a decision by others, may seem to fail to take into account the fact that what is the most important aspect in our daily life is the independent thinking, which is of great importance in our whole life. There are a large number of things need to deal with by ourselves in life. Take the graduate study for example, whether pursuing a further graduate study or not is totally based on our own decision, not anybody else. If one likes to do research, then he or she can follow his or her own passion and desire to pursue further graduate, after graduation he or she can choose to be a professor at university to continue his or her research. As a matter of fact, this process needs a relative long period, confidence and passion in research area, persistence and sacrifice and so on. In a word, independent thinking and making decision by ourselves are the extremely significant aspects in our life.
Furthermore, another primary reason that we should make decision by ourselves is that we will contribute more energy and time and efforts to our own decision. It is only us who are responsible for our own decision and there is nothing to do with other person even our parents. Bill Gates, the wealthiest people in the world, who place much attention and effort to computers due to his drop up from the university, which is his own decision. His experience indicates that we will spare no effort to realize our own dreams, which is decided by ourselves.
Considering all the factors discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that independent thinking and making decision by ourselves play a vital role in our whole life. Although decision from others may enjoy some obvious merits, the problem it may cause should not be ignored and far outweigh the advantage. |
