What you can do though is to shape the consequences by taking the appropriate action quickly.

There Are Always Consequences
No matter you take action or inaction, there are always consequences. In other words, you can't stop consequences and the world don't wait until you take an action. The world continuously produces consequences.

Bring Thyself Unto Account Each Day

This can be applied to education, business, relationships and everything we're involved with.
We're never perfect although we should aim for perfection and continuously correct ourselves towards perfection. This means we should be humble enough to see our own mistakes/weaknesses and strengths with a positive attitude and learn from those experiences quickly so that those experiences support our ongoing future success.
Action Plan:
Once of the best ways to support this is to bring ourselves unto account each day by completing a personal learning experience table with the following columns:
Column 1: Issue / Mistake / What wasn't that great
Column 2: Lesson / Experience / What could I do differently? / How could I do it differently?
Completing this table daily or weekly ensures that you're always on the right track. You see your own mistakes humbly and learn from them quickly which means greater experience and higher rate of success for your future is guaranteed.
It's not about regretting about the past but it's about enhancing our experience by being a bit more thoughtful about our own behaviour, actions and words every day.
You can complete this table even for smallest issues; e.g. which way was longer to get to a destination, which travel ticket was better to be bought, which words shouldn't have been said and why, etc.

How to Make The Right Best Decision Easily?
To make the best decision about something between you and the other party (e.g. playing a chess game) for example, you'd need to analyse the situation first then make your decision.
For empowering your analysis, you'd need to have knowledge and information from 2 completely separate points of views:
- Values, motivations, weaknesses, opportunities, desires, laws, needs, goals and analysis of the situation wrt your own point of view
- Values, motivations, weaknesses, opportunities, desires, laws, needs, goals and analysis of the situation wrt the other party point of view
The first point of view is natural and almost everyone can do that by default; it's like a chess game that you see your own movements and opportunities easily. People whose decisions are solely based on this point of view are often the ones who loose the game.
The second point of view if not more important it is as important to help you make the bes decision. It requires extra effort and perhaps wisdom to forget yourself completely and see the world from the counterparty point of view. It's like a chess game that you must analyse the opportunities and weaknesses of the couterparty as well to be able to make your best decision.
In this way, you always WIN and Make The Best Possible Decision Easily :)

The Power of Whispering
This might sound bizzare for many but I believe whispering has great immediate benefits:
- Improves concentration and focus on the topic dramatically specially when you're in a distracting or noisy environment or even when you're alone and have too many thoughts.
- Improves your memory because speaking out the words greatly helps memorizing them.
Although you might seem a bit crazy if speaking to yourself too loudly ;)

Improving Your English Vocabulary
There are millions of English words but don't worry not all you need to learn. The most important thing is to learn which words are used in your environment so that you can understand them or use them.
Learning words is not just about learning the meaning of them; it also means you should learn well how that word is pronounced and where it can be used. Pronunciation is important in English so spend some time learning the right way.
Another important thing to remember is which words are formal or informal; spend some time learning about this as well; using slogan and informal words don't suit you well in professional environments e.g. client meetings perhaps.
Some good ways of improving your vocabulary:
- Read good novels
- Read articles related to your business and profession
- Listen to the words used in your environment e.g. train stations, workplace, etc; words others use frequently.
- Watch movies and pay attention to the words used
- Pay attention to the advertises on the street
One of the easiest ways is to learn words by their pictures which makes them easier to remember:
- http://www.pdictionary.com/english/browse.php?letter=a
- http://www.esolcourses.com/content/topics/home/kitchen/kitchen-vocabulary.html
- E.g. use google images to find images of a particular word e.g. http://www.google.com/images?q=bathtub
And at the end, don't blame yourself if you don't know some words; there are many things others don't know either. Be patient, enjoy learning and practising gradually and consistently.
