  9. Hard Decisions: • Critical thinking skills • Outweigh the options • More time to decide • Do not always know the outcome • Have not necessarily made the decision before Example: Deciding whether or not to take a drink at a party

  10. Reflecting on Decisions… • What is the hardest decision you’ve had to make lately? • What will be a tough decision in your future? • What is the biggest factor that influences your decisions? • Why would someone who is quite smart make wrong decisions?
