RE: Aesop's Fable of the Ants and the Grasshopper: What Motivates Your Decisions?

in #psychology7 years ago

"Decisions are made based on the best choice imaginable to maximize the positive favorable impact for themselves and others. Due to considering so many variables to determine the optimal choice, the difficulty in making a decision tends to increase."

I try to take the best decisions but then I have been trained and also have experience doing the same - sometimes involving huge budgets in companies, so I'd better be right!

I am always optimistic and my optimism helps pull me through bad times as well.

"Grasshopper people are happy with things being good enough, they don't need to be maximally optimized."

I have sometimes encountered this situation but each time I think that it could be better.

"A satisficer lives from moment to moment and opts for instant gratification where they can get it."

Everyone is guilty of some degree of instant gratification in today's world, I rarely regret my own decisions.

I would say I have most of the good traits of the ant and the grasshopper with a few of the bad traits also.

Great article - thanks!
