How Small Decisions Can Majorly Impact Your Life

Great Essays
Small decisions can majorly impact your life. Small decisions like how you decided to do your hair will not impact your life as much as some other small decisions. For example, whom you sit with at lunch or what group of friends you hang out with can majorly impact how others think of you and what you will be like in the future. One small decision I made in the past involved having a goal for baseball. My goal was to hit the ball more than it hit me.
It was the top of the 5th inning, the other team was up by 4, three balls no strikes, and I was up to bat. I haven’t been that good at batting in the past years of playing.

“I think you should go home and get some rest.”.
“Thank you coach.” I said as I started walking to my car.
It was two days later and the pain did not go away. Then I told my mom that the pain didn’t go away and she took me to the doctor right away. I went to the car with a frozen bag of peas pressed against my wrist and watching my mom grab the car

Our teams were always different from the last game.…

    Decision Analysis The Oxford Dictionary defines a decision as the action or process of deciding something or of resolving a question. This may seem vague or even common sense, but I believe there is nothing more important in the world than the decisions we make. Every day there are billions of decisions being made that all effect one another and everything around them, deciding what will happen to the Earth.

    It's better to take the risks to make life more fun in ways you can't think of. If we didn't take risks in life we wouldn’t have any fun and we wouldn't have any inventions and the world would be in stone age again, But we did take risks and now we are venturing into the future. I know that if we didn't take risks our world would be safer, but the people that took a risk made history like Thomas Edison who made the first light bulb. It is better to take risks and make mistakes because you can learn from your mistakes, you can achieve more, and you can learn about what you like and dislike. First, its good for taking risk is because we can learn from our mistakes.…
