why do you think it's important to stop and think before you act ?
Answers
Answer:
Good morning!
Explanation:
It is important to think through one’s courses of actions before acting. This is because there are often many ways of solving a given problem. Some solutions to a problem can be quite obvious. Others require careful deliberation to arrive at. Once a list of possible solutions or courses of action has been arrived at, then one selects the solution that best addresses the given problem. Such a problem-solving process also allows an individual to understand the consequences of his or her actions and to make peace with these consequences. Impulsive acts, on the other hand, often lead to regrets, as the consequences catch the actor off guard. As an example, consider a sudden invitation to attend a party at a friend’s house. I could impulsively decide to attend this party without asking any questions, such as: Who are the other guests? Will I be safe? What drinks or food will be on offer? On the other hand, a careful deliberation of the invitation could help me to understand whether I really would like to attend this party or not. Thinking through this invitation equips me with the knowledge I need in order to make an informed decision—one that I need not regret later.
