Many of us are always much worried about what others may about. May be i am also one of them. Concerned more about public rather than individual. I dont feel happy when ever I take decisions thinking the path which I dont like. But still I proceed. Is this correct. How will you proceed in your life...?What do you think in taking a decision...

it is good to make decisions with the thoughts of others in mind. There are always times when we have to make decisions based on our interests, and times when we decide based on others' interests. This is because society expects us to cooperate with others, and when we don't people look at us as if we are selfish. Still, it depends on the situation - in certain cases society says it is okay to act based on personal interests. In some cultures there is more of this sentiment, while in other cultures it is considered more favorable to think about the community. There should be a balance between the fulfillment of personal desires and everyone else's desires.

I think I know what you mean, When I make a decision depending on how serious the situation is I try to outweigh the pros with the cons and then go from there. I am also like you, Sometimes I will put people instead of myself Sometimes I wonder if the shoe was on the other foot would they do the same for me. A Decision, Simple or Complex Could Change the rest of your life when you actually think about it. -Larry

i just weigh things out. there are really times whenever people may not like the path im taking, or times when i dont like the path many people want for me. ubut that's life. all i know is that whenever i pay more attention to what others think, especially when i know it myself that im not comfortable with it i somehow end up insecure. i always try to life my life as fair as i could.

Hi.. That's my mom! .. He always cares for others.. to the public and not even noticing what's happening to us, to our family! Sometimes, when she cared for other people, she didn't even notice that me as her daughter was hurt! She doesn't even remember my own birthday but she do remember other occasions outside our family.. But whatever she do, we still love her! Because she's our mother!
