『范文』

If the question asked was whether or not a decision that is quickly made is always wrong, and required an

absolute yes-no answer, I think the answer had to be a resounding "no". While carefully thinking out decisions can

be important, there are many decisions that are best suited to impulsive, spontaneous outcomes.

Consider I am sitting home alone one morning, contemplating what to do with my day. There are a number of

things I should get done during the day: I have to clean my apartment, as well as do some grocery shopping. A

friend calls, and invites me to see an art exhibition that sounds very interesting. This situation does not require a

carefully thought out decision. I can easily put off my small errands for later in the day, or even until the next day.

The decision was made very quickly, and, in my opinion, was definitely not wrong.

A second example can be seen at the workplace. I am employed at a busy real estate office. I have a number

of responsibilities that I have to contend with during the day. If I took the time to carefully think out each decision I

made during the day, my company would quickly lose many important deals. In some situations, one must act on

instinct in order to get the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible.

With that said, there are, of course, situations which do require careful thought and consideration before

reaching a decision. For example, buying an apartment or a house is a very big decision to make. In this

circumstance, I would not make a choice without careful evaluation of all of the information available.

While some decisions require very careful thought, others can easily be made quickly and still be correct. If I

had to carefully consider all of the decisions I have to make in a day, I would never get anything accomplished.
