Making choices over chances

Making choices over chances is a fundamental aspect of human life, influencing our personal development, relationships, and success. While chance plays a role in shaping our lives, our ability to make informed decisions can significantly impact our outcomes. 

This post explores how we can exercise agency in decision-making, drawing on examples from various aspects of life.

One way we can make choices over chances is by setting clear goals and priorities. When we have a clear vision of what we want to achieve, we can make decisions that align with our goals, increasing the likelihood of success. 

For example, a student who sets a goal of earning a high GPA is more likely to prioritize studying over socializing, increasing their chances of academic success.

Another way we can exercise agency in decision-making is by seeking out information and advice. By gathering information and considering different perspectives, we can make more informed decisions that are less reliant on chance. 

For instance, a business owner who researches market trends and seeks advice from industry experts is more likely to make strategic decisions that lead to business growth, rather than relying solely on luck.

Furthermore, we can make choices over chances by taking calculated risks. While there is always an element of uncertainty in any decision, we can assess the potential risks and rewards to make decisions that have a higher likelihood of success. For example, an entrepreneur who takes a calculated risk by investing in a new product line based on market research and analysis is more likely to succeed than one who takes a blind leap of faith.

Additionally, we can make choices over chances by taking responsibility for our actions. By acknowledging our role in shaping our outcomes, we can learn from our mistakes and make better decisions in the future. 

For example, a person who takes responsibility for their financial mistakes and commits to better financial planning is more likely to achieve financial stability than one who blames external factors for their situation.

In conclusion, while chance plays a role in shaping our lives, we can make choices that influence our outcomes. By setting goals, seeking information, taking calculated risks, and taking responsibility for our actions, we can make choices that increase our chances of success in various aspects of life. 

By actively engaging in decision-making, we can shape our own destinies and make meaningful contributions to our lives and the world around us.

Is Liberalism under attack?

I believe the answer may be yes. It's yes because two powerful states in Asia: China and Russia have consolidated authoritarian regime, that the end points may not be visible soon.  These two forces are working tirelessly to globalize oligarchy and authoritarianism. Their gospels has been noised abroad. Their influences influences have been displayed in some nations (with pseudo democracy) in the global south,  In Africa, liberal democracy have been badly weaken by the character of people in leadership: abuse of offices, stealing of public funds without questions and necessary punishments, plus rigging of presidential elections, leading to changing fortunes ànd quagmires. Beside, the curent hyper-inflation in Nigeria is blamed on the recent resurgence of Adams Smith and liberal economics doctrines (and partly by loyalty to Washington consensus: policies and insititios designed by the US government to globalize capitalism and it's associated cultural systems). The market is now

Sweet Spot

How do you create a digital strategy that involves customers in an energized social community?  How do you create an engaged, active “go-to” website?   Prophet's David Aaaker says, You must change the orientation of marketing from selling the offering, the brand, and firm to becoming an active partner with a shared interest program around a customer’s “sweet spot.” A sweet spot reflects customers’ “thinking and doing” time, beliefs and values, activities and passions, possessions or places they treasure. Ideally, it would be a part of, if not central to, their self-identity and lifestyle and reflect a higher-order value proposition, much beyond the benefits provided by the offering. To illustrate, Pampers went beyond diapers by creating the Pampers Village community that provides a “go to” place for all issues relating to babies and child care. Its five sections – pregnancy, newborn, baby, toddler, and preschooler – all have a menu of topics. Its online commu
