Today, the topic will be on "feel". It's a very important aspect regarding decision making. Many a times, people do things based on the "feel"; there is no real explanation behind what he or she is doing, he/she just feels like doing it. This can range of the "feel" or "chemistry", between two people's relationship in those television dramas, or like one having the "feel", such that he or she doesn't feel like talking, and remains offline in MSN. 
 
There's this person right, who has weird feelings. He/She cannot stand "..." or "dotz" etc. Again, it's the feel, and there is no reasonable explanation.
 
For me, the "feel" affects me in many ways. For example, I don't think it's right to leave any food behind on the plate. I don't know why so, it's just the mighty "feel". I don't think it's because me not wanting to waste food, because I don't understand the hard work of growing that food. If you remember, or know, about that chines poem about saving rice. I don't really have any opinion about it, just that one shouldn't waste food. It also cannot be due to the wives old tales, that your spouse will have pimples next time when you grow up; if you leave a lot of rice grains at your bowl or plate, because there's no way I believe it!
 
Another thing is bowing to teachers. I don't really think that there's any point doing it, I don't really feel for the teacher, that I should bow. I think it's all because the principal or teacher once said that one should bow to teachers to show respect. But the point is, there isn't any respect, just a superior and subordinate relationship. So, it's just the unexplainable "feel", that caused me to do things.
 
This is the mighty "feel", that causes one to make decisions, be it rational or irrational, without any reasonable explanation.
 
So what controls decision making?
Of course, it is the brain. But where?
According to online sources, it's the Frontal lobe. It regulates decision making, and has the ability to recognise consequences resulting from current actions, to choose between good and bad actions (or better and best).

 
How do people make decisions?
1)Looks Right People make decisions based upon how they see a picture in their minds of how it literally looks right. They like examples or graphs, etc. Show them pictures, paint them a mental picture with words. They trust what they can see.
 
2)Sounds Right People do things because they hear a series of words which sounds right to them. They like to hear about things. Tell them about your product, pay attention to your voice intonation to ensure it shows confidence and sincerity.
 
3)Feels Right People makes decisions best by letting them try the product out so they can get a good feeling about it. They literally feel a sensation in their body that feels right.
 
4)Makes Sense People need reasons for what you want them to do that makes sense. Give them facts, data and reasons. Answer the 'why' for them. They use information in a way that produces a feeling that 'makes sense' to them.
