The Incomplete Guide to Decision Making
The first thing you
have to remember is that you can always say NO. But of course, people do
sometimes say YES because they are in need of excitement, adventure,
love and understanding. Some say YES because they are greedy or seeking
compliments, reassurance and are also scared what will happen if they
say NO. Some people say NO because they know what they want and they
know that whatever is being offered is probably shit or of little use to
them. Of course some people say NO because they don't want excitement
or adventure or love and understanding or maybe they are scared of what
will happen if they say YES and quite possibly don't want to spend any
money which they believe is being careful but really it's the same as
being greedy without being obvious. They are not looking for compliments
although sometimes a compliment can make them say YES. The ones who say
MAYBE are the worst ones. The ones who say YES tend to like the ones
who say MAYBE as they know from experience this person is malleable and
is easy to convince, persuade, cajole and can usually be taken for a
long ride around the houses whilst being simultaneously relieved of
cash, secrets, underwear etc. The ones who say NO tend to like the
people who say I DON'T KNOW as this makes them appear strong and have
firm decision making skills although the ones who say I DON'T KNOW
usually benefit from watching others make mistakes and thus learn an
important lesson about life and that is that no one really knows what
they are doing or why, at least sometimes, probably... I DON'T KNOW.
