   Does delaying the decisions that we eventually have to make allow things to become easier or more difficult.  This is another topic that goes both ways.  Holding off on certain decisions make things better while they also can make some things worse.  A decision, even small like whether or not to study for a test can cause problems.  You know you want to study, but you hold it off because you do not know what you want, then you end up cramming and possibly failing the test.  Some things just can’t be held off longer then needed or things become difficult.  People often hold back on feelings and that even makes things worse, such as not telling someone you like them, if you wait too long they might be taken and that even makes it hard for them.

   On the other side, holding things off may come in handy and benefit greatly.  Sometimes luck plays great effect in this, like signing up for somethingn you dont want to do, you want to back out, but decide to wait, and then they end up not needing you and you still look good for offering.  Sometimes you do certain things you dont want to, but hold back and things resolve themselves.  This isnt always the smartest thing to do, but if you get lucky it can save you doing something you don’t want to do. In Hamlet, written by Shakespear, Hamlet holds off his decision of what to do about his father’s death, and it leads to his death.  He holds back too long because he is not too sure about what is going to happen, and it does not benefit his situation at all.  Waiting on certain decisions can be good or bad, you need to think deeply about each decision.
