「選擇」讓你從「錯誤中學習」 ‘’Making decision.’’ lets you ‘’learn from mistakes.’’

選擇與決策 Selection and making decision

焦傳金教授

Professor Chiao

做決定，其實是一件看似簡單卻困難的事情，在上週教授有提到一個前額葉皮質受傷的病例，因為受損的緣故導致其無法決定日常生活中芝麻綠豆大的小事如:挑選領帶顏色、選擇搭配的西裝…等等，卻能在職場上做出精闢的財務分析。也因此知道，「做決定」其實沒有想像中簡單，所以我想要稍微分享一下我母親對於我與妹妹在「做決策」方面的教育，讓我現在願意勇敢做決定，因為我不怕「從錯誤中學習」。

我媽媽從小就讓小孩決定出門要穿的衣服、鞋子，喝喜酒等大型場合也讓我們自己搭配小禮服，不管我們小時候的品味如何，我媽媽認為只要不要太過分，如果被同學或其他人說這樣穿很奇怪，我們就會「從中學習」，並且下次就不會挑選這種風格搭配。而看似小小的決定，其實養成了我已習慣對於自己的行為負責，而且不怕做決定，也不容易後悔，這樣對於日後國中選擇是否念特殊班、高中社團擔任幹部，甚至是大學科系選擇，我媽媽都給予我十足的信任，因為她相信我可以「從錯誤中學習」，而我也很感謝他的教育，讓我認為到清華是件快樂的事!!

Making decision is a behavior that looks easy but actually difficult. Professor has mentioned a case of a man who had a prefrontal cortex harmed. He cannot decide which style of suit to wear or what color of the necktie to collocate whereas he can analyze financial statement incisively. That is, I want to share my grown experience of how my mother trained my sister and I to learn from making decision to show that making decision is not that easy.

As my mother had my sister and I choose which cloth and which pair of shoes to wear when going out every time. Furthermore, she would let us arrange our dresses in wedding though our style might be strange. She didn’t interfere us if the situation is permitted our strange style as she wanted us to learn how to make good choice of dresses through friends’ critics so we can ‘’learn from mistakes.’’ Those decisions that looks nothing actually affected my personality greatly in the coming future at the time choosing whether to study the special class in junior, being a leader in school team in senior and even which department and university I want.

She gave me a quantity of confidence in above things so that now I won’t fear to make new decision and I have enough ability to take responsibility to my decision. Moreover, I appreciate her education of selection to me because I have happiness in NTHU!!!
