Decisions!!!

A beautiful day in Dallas, TX. Temperature hovering at 30 F, chilly winds and no sunshine. It appears like a romantic climate to me. Was glancing through my patio and realised that there are some decisions to be taken in my life. Decisions!!! This has become a cliche. People talk about decisions taken in the right spirit, decisions that went wrong, decisions that should not have been taken etc. Where does the buck stop?
When I was in India, I used to wonder why things never happened. Things such as laying out roads properly, building the necessary infrastructure for every day life and so on. I realised that people responsible for making those decisions where not responsible enough. They took such a long time to take a decision, by the time they take it, the need is outgrown or outrun by time. Then it becomes a poor decision anyway.
Decisions are meant to be taken promptly and with an educated guess. We will never know if a decision taken is right or wrong only if we fail to take it. Otherwise, it is as good as not thinking about it at all. This is the reason I hate elderly politicians. They have loads of experience, but they never exercise their experience at the right time. They are so stupid. The same applies to people in other career levels too.
The bottomline, decisions are meant to be taken when necessary.
