Picking a category for this post was difficult. I picked "General" because this probably fits most categories.
Here goes: Emotional v. Rational decision making
What first got me thinking about this was a business partner who always made his business decisions based on logic, reason, and rational thought. He made a point of it. One day I am watching him go through the process he used and it dawned on me how often his rational decisions reflected his emotional being.
Then I began to think more about it and realized emotional decision making has a lot going for it. You hear a rustling in the long grass? Is that the wind or a hungry lion? Better get that one right evrytime, and no dawdling whilst you figure it out.
