How we can make good decision

When we have a decision to make, it is recommended to solicit the views of people who have had the experience you're considering.
We can also ask the opinions of those around us since people tend to take a longer-term view when thinking about other people's choices.
The kind of questions we ask is also important. Instead of asking if you should take the new job, ask what they think your day-to-day life will be like if you take it.

A lottery winner, for instance, won't spend every day celebrating their win. Nor will someone with a disabling accident spend all their time in shock.
