Something To Ponder About
Hougang, I have a problem.
What do you do when you've made a decision, and later realize that the decision you've made is not what you actually want? And you hate yourself downright for being hasty and making that bad decision? Eventually, you end up spending more time trying to undo that decision?
I think the term is buyer's remorse.
For example, I went through hell and fire to take a course that I want to take. I even ordered the textbook online. Then, I realized that there is one other course that I should take first. I ended up emailing the company, the seller, and almost everyone that I bugged when I wanted to take the class and saying sorry sorry.... I am not taking the class anymore.
I hate myself at moments like this.
And I am pleased to announce that I am in another one of such situation. Yay...

Made a very important decision with Person A
So after making that important decision, I found out that Person A is highly irresponsible and does not keep promises. And what we decided on doing is highly important and I cannot afford to have someone do something drastic to me due to the person's character. However, Person A is highly knowledgeable and seems to be the only person who is able to do this. Others are ok, but not as knowledgeable as Person A.
Should I:
A) Go ahead with Person A, pray for the best?
B) Break the news to Person A, and get someone else to take the place?
C) Talk to someone else and ask the person for advice? (Since the "someone else" knows Person A, I may indirectly cause a strained relationship.)
Does anyone have any ideas/clues/fourth option for me?
It is maddening because Person A seems to be so interested, but yet other aspects of the person are just not good at all. And I've personally experienced the lack of responsibility on the person's part.
H.E.L.P.!

If the quality of that thing you want to do is very important to you, maybe you should give A a chance, and see if you can subtly talk to him about your concerns? I think you do value his knowledge. But if you are ok with taking a small risk (not that the quality will necessarily suffer tho), you might want to get someone else to help. Ask God for favor anyway. Follow your heart.
Talking about buyer's remorse I had 2 occasions in the past where I signed up a course & had to withdraw from it later. So you are not the only one. I felt like shit during those times. May it not happen again
And no matter what, God still loves you. He's big enough to take care of you... :)
