WHERE CAN WE FIND WISDOM?
Who among us does not look back in regret over a past decision? Sometimes we had inadequate information to make the right judgment. But often we simply lacked the necessary wisdom to make the right choice at the right time.
- THE NIV QUIET TIME BIBLE (Ecclesiastes 7/Pg 791)
Something to share:
Wisdom comes with experience, and experience come with age. God says, “Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom,” and “Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding.” (Proverbs 4:7a & 3:13) With adequate experience, you will have the wisdom to make the right decision at the right time to gain success. But if you make the right decision at the wrong timing, it’s unacceptable. Making a wrong decision is already a mistake but if at the wrong time, then it’s a disaster. As a consequence, our reputation or position could be at stake.
It’s essential to make analysis well before making a decision. Always gather adequate information to do a thorough cost- and -benefit analysis before making decision. Don’t be in a hurry to make decision if you are not sure of your perception and situation. However, this doesn’t mean that you can become indecisive by adopting the so-called “wait and see” attitude. The “keep delaying” attitude is another form of your indecisiveness. It’s better to make a decision than not making decision at all. However, any decision made should be an effective one. Then it’s a right decision.
Why do people look back and regret over a past decision? It’s alright to look back and learn from past mistake but it’s just a waste of time if you keep regretting over it. Remember that what had been done cannot be undone. If you think you had made a wrong decision in the past, then you should look forward to spend time on gathering adequate information to make a right decision today so that you won’t regret over it later on.
Our life journey is a process of decision making. As a leader, you must realize the power of decision making. Timing is of paramount important. Thus, decision making must not long past its time and purpose. You are solely responsible for making a decision and don’t find a scapegoat to blame for the wrong decision made. You must learn from the past mistakes once you realize that a wrong decision had been made. When you are determined not to repeat the same mistakes, such determination will give you the power to make a right decision but make it at the right time. Once a decision has been made, then it’s time to act immediately. Any delayed action is undesirable because circumstances may change rapidly. Therefore, to be really successful, you have to make the right decision at the right time and followed by fast action with total commitment.
