Title: The Decision-Making Challenge

Instructions:

In this activity, you will explore various scenarios where you must decide whether the choice made was a good or bad one. Each situation can teach us valuable lessons about decision-making. Review each scenario carefully and reflect on the outcomes that follow.

Scenario 2: The Study Plan Tom created a detailed study plan for his upcoming exams, setting specific times for each subject and allowing time for breaks. He stuck to this plan religiously and, as a result, felt confident and prepared on exam day.
