How to make deciding a lot easier
If you’re definitely the type of person who’s always asking, “why am I so indecisive?” you need to learn a few ways to help you make those choices. Here’s what you can do the next time you need to make a big decision.
There are pros and cons to every situation. If you accurately weigh them both, going with the choice that has the most pros is the obvious decision. It’ll take your emotions and the opinions of others completely off the table.
Sit down and think about what would happen with each decision. Now which of those situations made you happy and which didn’t? The choice should be pretty obvious.
Stop thinking about everyone else. If the choice will affect your life greatly, you need to think about yourself only. How will you feel? What’s best for your life? You’ll have to make choices that are good for you and might not be good for others but in this case, being selfish is necessary.
Not everyone will be happy with every single decision you make in your life. You can’t try to please people. You’ll never be happy if you do. Just realize that, no matter what, somebody somewhere won’t be happy. This can help you push those issues aside so you can make a choice.
Your gut instinct is just that, an instinct. You need to learn to trust it. If you really, really think you need to make a certain decision even though all the other signs point away from it, trust your gut. Make that choice.
If you’re having a particularly tough time, just ask a few people for their advice. Don’t ask what they think you should do, ask what advice they might have for the situation. This can help you see things from a different perspective so you can make the choice that’s right for you.

I cannot imagine my life without sport, especially without football. I think I’ve played this kind of sport whole my life. I play it with my friends outside, with my father and with my friends at school. Actually, I’m the pitcher of our school team.
Do you know what they say about football? Football is a game in which one side of the stadium wants to see eleven men killed, and the other side of the stadium wants to see eleven men killed. I hope you guess why eleven. It’s because there are eleven players in a football team. Right now I’m really good at football, as my coach always says to me.
I play football about 5 hours every day without days off. I cannot just stop and have some days of vacation. I have a goal - to become a real professional. To reach my goal, I need to have regular training. But it’s OK with me. I don’t sacrifice my life because I really enjoy playing football. I’d better spend my time playing football then playing computer games.
People all over the world are fond of sports and games. That is one of the things in which people of any nationality are united. All kinds of physical exercises are useful to make our bodies strong enough to keep ourselves fit and healthy.
Regular exercises give you more energy. That is why many people should take more exercise.
"A healthy mind in a healthy body" as the old Latin saying goes. The English proverb "Sickness in the body brings sickness to the mind" expresses the same idea from a different point of view.
In winter many people go in for cross-country and alpine skiing, ski jumping, skating, figure skating, ice hockey and so on, but in such warm regions as ours, facilities for these activities are limited.
As for me, I prefer swimming. It keeps a person in a good physical form. I have been swimming since my childhood.
Certainly, there is a huge distance between my manner of swimming and that of great champions, but I get real pleasure whatever my achievements are. Just to participate is not less important than to win a victory.
