Dilemmas and decisions

I don't remember that I have so many dilemmas when I was younger..

Seems like there are more dilemmas as I get older.
The magnitude and impact of the issues faced are much higher and larger now, whether on personal or professional decisions that need to be made.

Some decisions do not further allow a reverse course of decision, and some require constant monitoring to adjust quickly to the changing circumstances. Some allow win-win outcomes. Most do not allow the best of both worlds and can only have a mutually exclusive outcome.
Some decisions can only be made with scarce critical information. Some decisions can only be made based on gut feel. The constant thing to keep in mind is probably to keep an unbiased perspective. There are also occasions in which adopting the game theory is the best way to solve an issue.

There are decisions that I have made, yet not sure if I have made the right choices and only time will tell. I just hope that my judgements will be for the good for all as far as possible. Nevertheless, there are many things , really many things, that are beyond my control. I can only pray for the best.

I do not know how to appreciate Chinese Tea previously, now I do. I am a Type A person. Chinese Tea certainly helps to calm my nerves and probably helps in decision making too ;)
Thanks to a good friend who has recommended Oolong Tea to me.

I am thankful for what I have now and I have learnt to be contented.
Because life is transient and we do not possess anything in this world.
Yet I believe we can all make a positive difference to this world :)

How true... that life is transient and we don't possess anything in this world. Life is made up of many different moments strung together. Each moment is there for us to make the most of it, and make the most positive outcome of it. It's my belief that being happy in the here and now is the first step towards being contented.

Agree absolutely. Hectic lifestyle can sometimes engulf appreciation of present moments. Daily reflection can help us to reorientate on the contentment scale.
