It is crucial for every individual to understand that your tomorrow is no better than the decisions you are making today. How then do you make decisions without regret? Life is too short for regrets, and that’s why it’s so important for you to know who you are, and what is important to you. Though regrets are meant to teach us what to do better next time, but that is if second chance will permit us.
‘’Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious than to be able to decide’’
Napoleon Bonaparte
The English new dictionary defines decision as a conclusion reached after consideration. Frankly speaking, your future is as strong as the decisions that precede it. You cannot make great decision if you do not take seriously the consequences of that decision and base your decision on thorough information.
I think, “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a decision and then a step.” Great destiny is a function of great decisions; we all choose our joy & sorrow long before we experience them. Your present is the total sum of the accumulated effects of the decisions you have made in the past, and your future will be a reflection of your present decisions. Your decision is what makes your destiny. We are all beings of destiny, but products of decision. The bottom line is that we make decisions and decisions make us. Any decision that cannot make you will ultimately destroy you; that cannot increase you will undoubtedly decrease you. We make decisions based on the information that is available to us; and information we say brings transformation.
‘’Every transformation is as a result of your information.’’
Mistakes, in human are inevitable, but can be avoided or reduced in effect. And in order for you to increase your chances of being effective at decision making, I would like to introduce to you a resplendent model called FASTIN.
FASTIN is simply the guide you use when trying to gather the information for your profile. Is universal; it is built on the concept of asking more and acting well, rather than the conventional approach of thinking less and acting more. It emphasizes the fact that every decision you will take requires anticipation before action, that asking precedes acting. FASTIN should be a lifestyle of every decision makers and not just a mere tool. Remember, the power belongs to those who ask the right questions in order to avoid making wrong decisions.
‘’Question your Question.’’
FASTIN speaks the language of the mind, and for FASTIN to be effective you have to be able to ask question before taking steps.
F- Facts not Opinion
A-Ask the right & best source
S-See in Systems
T-Think and Act the best way
I-Inquire, Expect, Prepare, Move
N-Never Assume
Find the facts, not opinions. Facts rule the lives of the successful people. They do all to ensure they have all the relevant data before making decisions. As the saying goes ‘’ The Facts Never Lie.’’ Getting a poor opinion is like poor information which gives you poor decision. You can’t make great decision with poor information. Individuals have been misguided by the opinions of other people. Making great decision demand that you gather all the facts, not some facts, it is a discipline trait that must be learn and adopted continuously.
Ask the right and best source. Information is the difference between failure and success, and where you get that information is just as important as the information itself. If information is what is used to make decisions, then that individual who wants to use the information must make sure that information is gotten from the right and best source.
See in systems. This is the ability to understand that nothing in life or work is isolated, everything and anything is connected to a series of things, which makes a whole thing.
Think and Act the Best Way. It is the ability to make decisions based on rationalizing and not on emotions, is a key to effective living.
Inquire, Expect, Prepare, Move. Everything human beings have a pattern and it is advisable to know the behavior pattern of anyone or anything before engaging in relationships or even business.
''Whenever you see a successful business,
someone once made a courageous decision.'' Peter Drucker
Never Assume.
Certainty in life is the key. The key formula of certainty is cross checking things over and over again. In relationship it means that trust has to be earned. Leaving things to chance could be dangerous, believing all is well, without taking the time to make sure that things are in place.
The entirety of this write-up is focused on the introduction and application of this concept. This concept promises to yield positive result and en masse success based on the fact that it is not built on theoretical notions, but on empirical evidences by great successful individuals and corporations all over the world that have embraced its application and accuracy.
