Two-way Discussion
We’ve been talking about an important decision you made and now I’d like to discuss with you one or two more general questions related to this. Let’s consider first the topic of important personal decisions.
Describe some of the important life decisions people need to make at various points in their lives.
Some people think that an important decision should be made quickly and based on intuition while others believe an informed choice is better. What’s your view?
Do you think that individuals nowadays have more or fewer important choices to make than in the past? Why?
Now, let’s talk about decision-making in general.
What kinds of decisions are more difficult: those which solely affect you or those which also have an impact on other people?
In your opinion, is there such a thing as too much choice?
How effective do you believe it is to make decisions based on discussions with other people?

答案
Well, I think there are many but possibly the most important decisions are in young adulthood when people usually make lots of choices about their future which career to choose, choices about marriage and starting a family and so on. These are the decisions which have such a long lasting impact on the rest of life, so they are incredibly important. Then there are the decisions which come later, maybe about finances and retirement and that type of thing. And when we’re younger, I suppose our choices are in some way made for us by our parents who decide which kindergarten or school we will attend. Personally, I believe it’s a combination of the two. I certainly think you need to have all possible information available to you before a decision can be made, but I also think that a certain degree of intuition, or ’ gut-feeling’ can really help to guide the decision-making process. It’s unexplainable, but I know that some of my best decisions have been based on intuition more than anything else. Today’s society certainly confronts people with more important decisions than in the past. For a start, there is so much more choice in lots of different areas, like in the area of career and occupation for instance. My parents or grandparents’ generation often had the same job for forty or fifty years, but people nowadays commonly have four or five different careers. In this area alone there is so much more choice and freedom and I think that’s part of the reason why there are more important decisions to be made now, along with the fact that constant change is part of modem life. I think it’s more difficult to make decisions which are going to have an effect on other people’s lives, but I also think that this relates to most decisions we make--decisions very rarely only impact on one person. Anyway, it is obviously a matter of degree, for instance if you are the manager of a large company and you have to decide how many redundancies are necessary to keep the business from failing, then that’s a decision which will have a huge impact on many people. On the other hand, if you are deciding which house to buy then that probably only affects you and your family. Overall I think it’s wise to consider the potential impact of your decision in any case. I definitely believe that there is too much choice for young people nowadays, and this creates a lot of pressure for them. Whether it is in terms of what career path to take or where to live and study, there are an overwhelming number of choices available to this generation and I think it can be extremely difficult to feel as though one has made the right choice, whatever that is. However, choice provides us with options and freedom as well, so I believe it’s important to value that. I know that for some people this method of making decisions is very effective, as they gain perspective from talking with someone else and this process clarifies their own thought process. However, I believe that choices, in particular personal choices, are best made methodically and carefully, but alone. Sometimes people have different motives for giving advice and they cannot always be trusted to give you neutral advice.
