    Confession....I really want abs, but I really want Chinese food. My morning almost there abs will be gone after lunch :lol:

    Both personally and professionally, we make decisions everyday. Determining what to wear to work, which route to take to get there and even what foods we will eat are all decisions that have an impact on our lives. From a professional perspective, decision making is a key part of our jobs. Making the decision to hire or fire someone, whether or not to give someone an important project and deciding if we should launch a new product line, all impact our working lives and relationships in our organization. Decision making is defined as "the act of deciding between two or more alternative courses of action." (A Dictionary of Finance and Banking in Economics and Business, 1997). Being a good decision maker causes others to trust our abilities, whereas the opposite is true if we tend to make decisions hastily without carefully considering the ramifications of those decisions and their impacts across functional units.

    It is obvious that decision making is a key component in our lives, but decision making without critical thinking gives us only half of the picture. It is these two components combined that result in successes both personally and professionally.

    Combining the techniques of critical thinking and decision making results in situations that have been analyzed closely and potential outcomes clearly considered and defined prior to taking any action. In an article written by Greg Kitzmiller (2003), he states that "It seems most business people are busy taking action, meeting with people, interacting and making decisions. Certainly, thinking is one of the most important actions we take and is at the core of strategic planning."

    Based on Kitzmiller's comments, I believe that critical thinking and decision making must go hand in hand in order to be successful. In order to develop a strategic plan, you must closely evaluate all aspects and in making decisions about your course of action, you develop a strategic plan for the future. From both a personal and professional level, these two combined techniques will put you in a better position to reach your goals and be successful. As restated by Ken Petress "Making quality decisions involves critical thinking; critical thinking has been defined as - involving the ability to explore a problem, question, or situation; integrate all the available information about it; arrive at a solution or hypothesis; and justify one's position".

    Critical thinking allows us to question our environment and the information presented to us. "One alternative is to accept passively what you encounter; doing so automatically results in your making someone else's opinion your own. A more active alternative consists of asking questions of yourself in an effort to reach a personal decision about the worth of what you have experienced."

    I confess that even tho I'm a grown adult it makes me cry and feel jealous that my dad seems to have more time for his new gfs little kids than he does me

    Once again more time for someone else's kids

    It literally makes me feel like I'm nothing at all it makes me hate those kids

    For taking my daddy away from me

    My inner child is screaming

    Maybe your dad thinks they need more attention because they are little kids and you are an adult. Little kids need someone to help them navigate life more than an adult. They have more physical needs that they can't fulfill and more psychological needs as well.

    Just a thought.

    They are not his kids therefore they are not important

    No one else's dad ever took care me

    my dad was off taking care of some other woman's kids tho even when I was a kid

    As you can see

    I'm very pissed

    I confess that sometimes I just want to sell everything and move to an island and just live on the beach. All I need is a beach chair and an endless supply of rum. Actually the chair is optional.

    Whenever I get a cheeseburger at a fast food place, I feel compelled to scrape off the cheese that sticks to the wrapper/box and eat that too.

    I confess the last cheeseburger I had was a 'southwest burger' with a 1/2lb patty, a ton of pepperjack cheese, green chiles, and a chipotle aioli. It was delicious. It was almost 3 weeks ago and I want another one.

    So... there I was sitting alone, after lunch...people watching.. I always think to myself " Waiting to see the most beautiful woman in the world to walk by" for no other reason to say... been there done that... anyway... today... the most beautiful Spanish woman stops, turns, says my name... then sits down beside me...and starts talking to me like I should know who she is... turns out I had spoken to an industry committee of which she was a member a couple years ago. then just as quickly she got up and walked away... Life is like that somedays... and I have to confess that working in a field with a higher ratio of women to men... by like 4:1 is kind of nice.

    I confess that most things are exactly as they seem; time for a vacation, perhaps permanent.
