No matter how ordinary a human being could be, no one has lived their entire life in someone’s shoe. Everyone stumbles upon different decisions in life, causing different but unique life experiences. However, one’s life can only be changed with one’s decision. Life is about making decisions, whether it’s right or wrong, it all comes from the decision maker.
One night at exactly ten o'clock Ella Chesterman, a fifteen year old, heard a loud and strange noise. She looked around as scared as a mouse trying to see where the sound originated from.

“In a moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.” Those are some wise words said by the President during WWII….

This idea is not only held by Ellie, but also former president Theodore Roosevelt, who stated “In any moment of decision, the best thing people can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing,
People being educated can be a great influence to people in today’s society. Charles Murray believe that a college degree is like a “a price ticket for employees”. The two reasons Murray says is that “employees do not value what students learned, just that the student has a degree” the other reason is “employees do not even look at applicants who have no college degree”.

In the world that we live in today, there are many things that we face daily. Whether it be illness, love or just bad decisions, everybody encounters them and many more. Rash decisions are made on a very common basis among people. A lot of stuff affect the decisions you make. May it be, being too young and not having enough experience to make good decisions, or just the lack of care of the outcome.
The Value of a College Degree Having a college degree is arguably one of the most important things you can achieve in your lifetime. In today’s society, it is getting much more difficult to survive without one. Most places of business that offer substantial wages and benefits require some sort of college degree. This is a problem for most people in the United States due to the fact that only 17% of the U.S. population has earned a college degree (Odland).
“How does Bolt’s writing create a vivid impression of Thomas More at this point in the play?” Robert Bolt captivates readers in ‘A Man for All Seasons’ through his dramatization of historical events and characters. One very significant character we meet in the play is Thomas More who at this point in the play creates a very distinct impression compared to the other characters on the audience by his strong values and reaction to the events that previously affected him prior to this point of the play. Very close attention should be payed to the stage directions and overall diction used by Robert Bolt at this point of the play and even throughout the play because it aids in creating a vivid impression of Sir Thomas More. Thomas More deals
Being able to leave college with a degree is something that not everyone has the
St. Thomas More truly was a 'Man for All Seasons ' because he put God at the center of his decisions, promoted social equality, and was a distinguished scholar and lawyer. Sir Thomas More was a Renaissance humanist. He stood up for what he believed in and would not deny and turn his back on God. More is a great role model and is still looked up upon even after 500 years. Thomas More is greatly known by his book called “Utopia”.
Every person is challenged in the race of life. Many have succeeded and finished the race, but what really is at the end of every obstacle course? Even though, there are some people who succeed without a college degree. Having a degree gives a person the best job opportunities, higher income, and good wages.

Everyday, people are faced with the task of making decisions. Most people decide when to wake up, what to eat, what to wear, who to interact with, and countless other choices. In a world surrounded by choices, people are confronted with easy-to-make and, conversely, challenging decisions. A decision can be influenced by one’s own experience, logic, and feelings. Making a decision is synonymous with a result; whatever choice one accepts, results in a particular outcome.
Although a degree is not essential for those looking to work in the more hands on fields of work, such being a plumber or an electrician, degree holders can look to not only make more, but to also fulfill more brain satisfying tasks in more intellectual fields of work. Even with that in consideration, a degree can help those that work in fields where holding a degree is not commonplace. “Construction workers, police officers, retail salespeople and secretaries, among others, make significantly more with a degree than without one.” (Leonhardt)
So making a bad decision is never fun. I’d like to think that most of us prefer not to make them but can’t help to sometimes because we think a bad decision isn’t that bad. It might even be a good one in the right mind set. The point of this paper being to reflect on a pass choice looking at it with the elements of critical thinking. My bad decision is one I think most are guilty of, waiting until the last minute on something important.
