Think+First!

====**People make poor choices when they are unable to control their emotions. You might say the wrong words, buy things you shouldn't, make poor educational choices or even do something you're not supposed to. Although these actions might not seem obvious at first, you may end up regretting them later. That's why it is important to always stay calm, analyze the situation, think carefully and make the right decisions. What are the impacts or results by doing this or saying that? Will the effect be negative and make you regret? What are the other things which might be affected by your actions? Who and What? Nike may say "Just Do It", but we do not live in that kind of world. Instead of having to repair the damage, slow down a little, think it through, plan properly and take appropriate actions. **====
