Interesting post, Mark.
I believe there’s no such thing as a ‘wrong decision’. If the decision doesn’t feel right after you make it, then change it! Not always possible I know but at least you jumped rather than remained on the fence. It’s not usually all bad and positives can be found if you look hard enough.
I believe in following my gut feeling if I can and that is always on my side.

Interesting observation, Linda.
I’m usually a pretty good decision maker since I trust my instincts and follow my heart or gut feeling.

What’s more fascinating though is no matter when or how you decide on an issue, you’ll typically see it as the right one, once it plays out. Justification comes into play.

End of the day though, make the decision and learn from it. I’ve made plenty of not-so-right decisions in my life. Oh well, I learnt from them, moved on and make better ones now.

I guess nothing is ever completely black or white as far as decisions are concerned and I love your positive outlook, Linda – very refreshing!

I agree with you about the 20 minute maximum drive between venue and ceremony. It can be a real pain to have to drive far between the two (I’ve done an hour and 45 minutes before!!) In an intense snow storm! If it weren’t my brother I would not have kept going to the reception, that’s for sure.

An hour and 45 minutes! Now that is bad, what were they thinking! Hope it was a good reception?

Hi,

I’ve just realized that the facts you’ve all shown are actually true based on my personal experience. It is very true that we get to be more cautious and think of the cons and pros of our decision when we are stressed. We just can’t decide immediately because we are scared that the decision we will make would take us to a more stressful outcome that is why we tend to think not just twice, but so many times.

For me, it is very important the religion we practice because it also matters how we gain something from our religion. Every religion has different kinds of beliefs that can help them in order to grow up.

Wow, this is totally awesome, and I found it just in time. Fred and I were struggling to figure out what type of wedding venue to choose, and I started searching around the web. I found this tool, and it is just absolutely phenomenal. I don’t know why people don’t know about this thing. It should be a standard tool in any wedding planners arsenal. Our wedding planner was a total buffoon, and couldn’t really help us figure anything out, and here is this automated little tool making it all so simple. Are you pushing this thing on facebook? No matter what you decide to do, thank you so much! You will be in my prayers, as I hope that you get all of the blessings you deserve for creating such a wonderful utility!

I always had nightmare of choosing my own wedding venue. Sometime I get scare due to this wedding phobia. but finally I got my wedding venue of my own choice in Ocala. I really loved it and I had good memories there. I had a blissful wedding reception there. We had nice time there and people loved it. All we need is proper planning of it.

Fire extinguishers are very critical for safety in case of fire but most often ignored. It is not enough to have a fire extinguisher available; it is necessary to have the right kind of extinguisher available. Your article is very informative as it describes the importance of each fire extinguisher really well.

The only people who truly choose what to believe are the ones who think for themselves and do not worry about what they are taught. This includes atheists. Most religious people have been influenced by their culture, parents, and friends. We usually believe what those around us do.

It depends on your budget. If you have enough money to buy those expensive cars then go for it. But I do prefer those simple car, not so expensive and comfortable to drive. After all, it is still your decision. Thanks!

Nice article very helpful in choosing a Fire Extinguisher. Using the wrong extinguisher to fight a fire can have serious results. For example, if a water based extinguisher is used on a flammable liquid fire , the fire may flare up, spread, and cause personal injury to the user and others. If a water-based extinguisher is used to fight a fire in or near electrical equipment , the user could suffer an electric shock.

The differences between fire extinguishers can really determine if you will be able to get a fire out or not. Chemical fires are especially difficult to control. My friend who is a firefighter in Arizona, was trying to get a fire out at a laboratory and it took his team over 15 hours… thanks for posting some good information about using the right one in the right situation.

Today, every person want a well furnished apartment or a flat. A house of its own, with all the necessary facilities in it. It’s pretty obviously that a well furnished flat or apartment automatically means higher rent. But after reading your post, I am totally convinced that having your own house is much better option then living in hotels or rental apartments.

Regardless of whether you choose a DJ or a live band, you will only want to consider those entertainers who can supply you with an audition tape, and with up to date references from previous clients. They should also be able to tell you what styles of music they can, and can not supply, so you will have all the information needed to make your decision. If the entertainer you are considering can’t meet these requirements, strike them off of your list of hopefuls.

Booking entertainment for a wedding reception is typically out of the comfort zone of most couples. But by allowing some time for research and auditions, and by relying on the expertise of your event planner and venue staff, you can make the decision much easier, and ensure that your guests have a delightful and memorable evening.

Choosing a wedding venue is important and my advice is always to choose a style before anything else. I think a unique wedding is the best which is why I recommend venues that are usually a little different and why I provide a unique form of entertainment for the reception. It’s also important to think about space too. A venue that is too large or too small could really make your day uncomfortable.

If you’re getting wed in the summer why not go for a beach wedding? Having your wedding on the beach is the ultimate dream-come-true for so many couples. As you imagine it and then bring it to life, remember that this is the most important day of your life…on a beach. You want to be sure that it has your signature, along with multiple ways that you can claim the day as your own. Go upscale yet easy breezy.

My vote goes to BMW . This brand provide a wide range of luxury cars and it’s range is also not so high in pricing so it became easy to buy . It is an appropriate combination of luxury and comfort .

What a waste of money. Why not buy a 20 year old V12 Jaguar for £1000, stick a bigger turbo on it, and maybe add a 200bhp nitrous oxide system? Ok, it still won’t be as fast, but it’ll be as fun to drive. Probably.

I love this tool! My ex-husband, who was in the US Army, had shown me this decision making matrix 20 years ago. We were trying to decide his next career move…to stay in the Army or get a job in the civilian world. The weight factor makes all the difference in how the matrix works and removes the personal bias from the process. I strongly recommend this tool when faced with a big decision.
