How can I make the right decision when no matter what I decide someone will end up arguing with me ?
How can I chose to do something wisely when no matter what I decide someone will always be teling me that it's wrong and it can't possibly be my idea anyway?

The usual system is to write out the pros and cons for each course of action, give them a numerical weighting that reflects their relative importance, and see what comes out on top.

That way, if people disagree with you, you'll know they've got it wrong.

You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but there's no way you can please all of the people all of the time. Do what you think is right and say to hell with those who disagree.

The much better question: How can you make the wrong decision, if it ends badly anyway? :)

The lack of recognition may sting but if what you think truly is right FOR YOU, then who cares about recognition? live your life to be happy :)

Ms. Indie is right. Besides, if someone will end up mad at you either way ,that's no reason to make the WRONG choice, because someone will still end up mad at you. If all factors equal out, why be wrong instead of right?

Do what you know to be right, be truthful and honest in all things, and accept the consequences of your actions.

The right decision isn't the same thing as what less people will argue against. Stand up for yourself!

In the end, you're the authority on your own personal decisions. Others can give you their opinions, but they're in no position to tell you what to decide.

As almost always occurs in life, you cannot make a decision that will *always* please everyone. That is why it's called a decision. It's a choice that YOU make, NOT an idea that you submit to everyone to check for their approval (or disapproval). Does that make sense?

Heck, it you are going to get grief no matter what you decide, then it's easy. Make the decision that feels right to you.
