Analysis Paralysis

I was having lunch with a close friend 3 days back..
when we strike on the topic...
Assumption

He's a young and hippy guy..
With a Great mind YET to be explode..
Powerful Potential will unleash when he've found the right key to it ..
Trust me ..
But ....
just one flaw..
His Assumption power is overflowing..
He makes too much assumption that might cause a downfall in certain aspect of things..

We discussed on this issue and he said this is called Analysis Paralysis.
Err.... I've no idea what's that until he explained to me..
"This means when a person assume too much lahhh"

I looked up some information on this topic.. and enhanced his explanation with the help of technology.. Internet..
'Analysis paralysis involves the over-analysis of a specific issue to the point where the issue can no longer be recognized, and the subject of the conversation is lost.'
~extracted from an Online Encyclopedia

In my everyday life, I see plenty of situation surrounded with Analysis Paralysis..
Just yesterday when I was at my sister's house.. We were all hit by this syndrome..
We were suppose to go for dinner with my Dad.. but he's busy.. cannot make it in time..
Well, still gota eat dinner what.... so we go ahead without him..

Sister shouted, "What's For Dinner?"
"Crystal Jade?"
"Airport?"
"Geylang Beef HorFan?"
"Parkway Parade?"
"Kopitiam below my sister's block?"
"Sakura?"
"Macdonald's?"

Half and hour past.....

No conclusion...
At this point of time.. I kept reminding my sis to think of Mrs Lam's story.. because I saw abit of flame on her head...But.. not effective leh.. the flame just get bigger...Especially when my Brother in law is still meddling with their new Vid Cam..Hah!
Finally...

We settled on Burger king..
HaH~

If the whole of Singapore only serve Macdonald's and Burger king..
Analysis Paralysis would never ever exists in this issue..
Not forgetting the flame on sista's head..And the time wastage..
Either Burger King OR Macdonald's...
Pick one..
Hey! that sounds easier right?

In our Daily life we often face this problem..
Where to eat? <<== KILLER QUESTION
Where to go? <<==2nd KILLER
What to wear?
What model of hp should I buy?
etc... the list goes on...

KISS
Keep It Simple Sweetheart..
Sometimes we just gota keep it real simple..
Go with what your heart REALLY want..
IF you decide on option A, just follow it..
Maybe you find this option to be a mistake,
simply pluck up your courage to follow your heart again..
Option A or B..
or the most C ,
no more D , E , F , G .....X, Y, Z...

Its tiring when there's too much option isn't it?
