Most people would argue that life itself is the biggest gamble. From the day we’re born till the day we expire we all face choices, and some of them are a lot simpler than others. Most people agree that two of the most stressful decisions we make in life involve moving house or changing/choosing a career. But how do we make these decisions and could it really be classed as gambling per-se?
The logical and most obvious method of making a choice is to balance the perceived pros and cons of each choice; to calculate and evaluate the potential outcome and try to see if they match our own personal preferences for the key elements that define our needs. In short, will the outcome make us feel happy and content. With each choice we make we are gambling some of our happiness in order that we will get more back an order of magnitude greater than our initial stake.
