Most everyone has horse sense – which is defined as the ability to make good judgments or decisions; some refer to it as common sense. The real issue is whether they use it – that’s a choice. Sometimes people just follow along because that’s easy or they just want to – that’s a choice to not make a choice. But the key to either is making sure you have the facts. As an HR professional, I had to decide what to do about employee relations’ issues – that meant I needed all the facts and information available, to compare and apply them to policies, and then use common sense to decide what to do. Those decisions could be appealed and reviewed, but that whole process relied on real facts. Whether at work or in life, facts are important in the decision-making process. So is common sense – that helps make good judgments and decisions. Life is full of questions and choices – give yourself the best chance to make the best of each by asking whether the facts you’re presented with make sense. Common sense. Right from wrong sense. Your own sense, not what someone tells you. The kind of sense that’ll keep you from betting on the wrong horse today.
