I will stop and try to gather as much information as possible. I will rely on my inner feeling and intuition will guide me. I analyze the situation logically and try to minimize risk. I will consult someone I trust and seek help with my decision. I will try to imagine what impact the decision will have on me and others.

I will consider the opinions of my close ones, but in the end, I will make the decision myself. I will try to imagine myself in this job in a few years – how am I doing? If it excites me immediately, I'm in, if not, it means it's not for me.

I'll wait and see how the situation develops before making a decision. I will follow the recommendation of the expert I trust. I would rather invest in something that makes personal sense to me, even if it may not be the most advantageous.

I will carefully listen to all sides and decide based on logic. I will evaluate what would be best for the majority based on my feelings.
