About this Quote

This quote by C. Northcote Parkinson speaks to the significance of autonomy and decision-making in our lives. When we are denied the opportunity to make decisions of importance, we start to focus on the choices we are enabled to make, no matter how little or irrelevant they might appear. This can lead to a feeling of powerlessness and a lack of control over our lives. It can likewise lead to a sense of frustration and dissatisfaction, as we are unable to make choices that really matter to us. By allowing individuals to make choices of value, we can help them to feel empowered and in control of their lives. This can lead to increased inspiration and a greater sense of function. Ultimately, it is very important to acknowledge the importance of decision-making and to guarantee that everybody has the chance to make decisions that matter to them.
