What is right?

Recently I read an update in a social networking site

I dont believe in taking right decisions, I take decisions n then make it right. Believe in yourself.

How true can this statement be? Rather I would ask how wise would it be to think or do this? My instant thought was "How successful will one be if they follow this?"

The chances of first decide and then make it right is very low. Even the very wisest man can't be 100 percent sure. He will still be taking chances.

It shows how overconfident the person is. Also the person thinks that only what he thinks is right. Doesn't it pave way for clashes?

The efforts that you would be putting in to make things right will be too much. Rather you could have invested time and could have taken the right decision. it would have been a one time effort whereas in the first case you would have to do it multiple times to set things right and a trace of your previous efforts will always remain however hard you try to conceal it.

When I questioned the person, she said this is sign of optimism and also self confidence. Agony was there were many people who supporting the same. Somehow I still cannot see it as a sign of confidence rather I would say its over-confidence and to be even blunt I would say insanity.

I wonder will a wise man accept this statement. What argument will he keep forth? Think he would brush this aside telling "Kids, grow up!".

Well, intersting topic :)

I think its individual's perspective on each things whether its right decision or not. I would say he is ok with that kind of thought. If he is happy with his decision, let him live like that, unless it doesn't harm others :) Atlast, everyone is doing something in this world for their own inner happiness some way or the other. As per me he is a confident person :)

It can seem like you are confident but what I'm saying is that it is not necessary where in you will be taking a right dsecision always. If your decision is not going to harm anyone then its fine but still if its wrong the effoerts to make it right is high. Secondly it is unlikely that our decisions doesn't involve anybody else. So if its luckily a right decision everything is fine but if proves to be wrong then aren't you forcing your ideas to make your decision look right on others???
