The story of a coward

     Decision making is a part of life and it’s very challenging. And our life begins by making simple decisions every day and we have to accomplish what we have decided earlier so that we can manage it the rest of the day.

     However, making a decision was a bit challenging task for me. Honestly I can’t decide. Even for a very simple decision, I tend to lost. And when things growing bigger, I thought I have burdened others to make decision for me. But when I was alone, and no one was judging- I could think of my own decision, and still be happy with that.

     Maybe that was my problem. I’m afraid that my decision would be judged or rejected by others. I’m afraid that my decision could affect others or lead to something bad. In other words, I was unable to take the responsibilities for what I’ve done. And precisely in simpler words, I’m a coward!

     It’s terrible for me to admit that, yeah really terrible. But now, I’m learning- learning on decision making. That’s life is all about; to learn something new every day and then becoming a better person. We laugh, we smile, we cry, we make mistakes- and we decide!

Which way I should go?

Maybe this poem from Robert Frost can help me in making a wise decision,

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

~The Road not Taken by Robert Frost, 1915~
