Decision making and factors of influencing desicion making

Decision making is when you have to choose between different options. There are many things that can influence your decision, like your feelings, what other people think, or what you think is right. For example, let’s say you have to choose between eating an apple or a cookie for a snack. Your decision might be influenced by how much you like apples or cookies, if someone told you that apples are healthier, or if you know that your friend really likes apples. One fact about decision making is that on average, adults make about 35,000 decisions every day! That’s a lot of choices to make. An analogy to help understand decision making is like being the captain of a ship. You have to decide which way to steer the ship, taking into account the weather, the map, and what your crew thinks. Your decision can impact where the ship ends up, just like how your choices can impact your life.
