Should we take a second opinion before taking decisions?

If we are in the grip of strong emotions, it's always better to take a second opinion before taking decisions in anything. At least postpone it to the next moment when our mind is free and capable enough to handle the situation. I often feel that we should take more time to think than making hasty decisions, for anything.  But what about seeking someone else' help even if we are in a calm and normal mood? Does it work positively in most cases? Are we not capable to take our own decisions?

 It depends entirely on the issue at hand, sometimes it certainly helps to ask for a second opnion from a trusted person but again your life is in your hands and what decision you take shd be taken by you after analysing it in every way possible and even if you have taken a decision after listening to someone elses advise, you cannot blame them or hold them responsible when things go wrong.In effect any decision you take should be your sole responsibility.

When you are in doubt or do not have encough expertise or skill in deciding some issue, it is better to seek an expert or knoeledge person's opinion. This is a sort of helpline as in KBC.

Definitely we are capable to take our own decisions. But on certain occasions, depending on the complexity of the situations, we may get confused and will find it difficult to discriminate right and wrong. In such situations, there is no harm in depending on an expert opinion. However, if we are fully confident that we are right, there is no need to involve any third party in the decision making, unless it is required just for a formality to maintain the relationships.

People need second opinion if they get tensed and Do not know how to deal the problem in difficult situation. If they sit and deeply think about the problem they will find the solution easily. No one will be the master person than the person who knows him very well. Second opinion is well suitable in the case of consulting Doctors because you can't believe the doctor opinion with the result of scans. This opinion will vary from doctor to doctor. Final decision is in our hands so others can advice that's all.

Personally I feel, we are good at making decisions but even then it is always better to take a second opinion and then weigh everything and then make an informed decision. After all there is no harm in talking to, few people whom we trust to decide on something.

Decision making promptly and appropriately is a virtue. In our day to day activities we take decisions which are normal and repetitive. But the problem arises when encountered with some different kind oproblem which we never faced. In such situations one can take the opinion from others who faced such problem earlier ansolved it.

It all amounts to one thing. No one can solve all problems " it becomes necessary at times to depend upon other experienced people before taking a decision.i see nothing wrong in taking others' opinion.
