Are quick decisions always wrong?

People should never make quick decisions without fully considering the factors that are affecting their decisions and the consequences of different decisions.

When people make quick decisions, they seldom care anything about the situation. Situation is a very important factor in making a right decision. Different decisions cause different results, so it is very important to make a decision carefully. People who make quick decisions do not have time to look around.

Secondly, there is a popular belief that people should decide quickly in order to catch chances. Unfortunately, that is completely wrong. "Chance favors the prepared mind," as a famous saying goes. Only when you have fully prepared, can you really grab a good chance when time come.

Life is not a lottery. Only when you make careful decisions based on the facts that are provided for you, can you win. If you make quick decisions, you may lose everything down to your underwear.
