Source text - English
For example, suppose you decide to go to a movie tonight. Do you think this really is a decision?
In fact, this is not a decision until you go to the movie hall, select the movie you like and buy your ticket. It is the wish to do, nothing more. Even if you believe in your heart that you will be watching the movie, this is not a decision until you buy your ticket.

Now let's think about your background. What were you doing 10 years ago? Perhaps, you were going to college, maybe you were single, maybe you were sick, maybe you were employed by another employer...
Let us also consider what you're doing now. You have come to your current position because of your decisions in the past.
IKV0070
For example, after you graduated from school you faced a few options you might choose regarding your first job. You have decided. After that decision, the direction of your life has changed. If you’d decided to pursue other options instead of selecting this option, perhaps you would have ended up in a different place working with different people now.

However, you have possibly wanted to do something else, before that decision making. Maybe you were saying "I have decided to move away here. I will settle down in a not-so-crowded small coastal town and I'll do my own work." Now you live a crowded city and you are working for a large organization. Because you did what you were required to do, not what you dreamed of. In other words, you have decided, the others had just remained as wishes.
“Wherever you see a successful business, remember that someone once made a courageous decision.”
Translation - Portuguese
Por exemplo, suponha que você decida ir ver um filme esta noite. Você acha que isso é realmente uma decisão? Na verdade, isso não é uma decisão até que você vá para o cinema, selecione o filme que quer assistir e compre seu bilhete. Isto é o desejo de fazer algo, nada mais. Mesmo que você acredite em seu coração que você vai assistir o filme, isso não é uma decisão até que você compre o seu bilhete.

Agora vamos pensar sobre o seu passado. O que você estava fazendo há 10 anos atrás? Talvez, você estivesse indo à faculdade, talvez fosse solteiro(a), talvez estivesse doente, talvez estivesse trabalhando para outro empregador ...
Vamos considerar também o que você está fazendo agora. Você veio a sua posição atual, por causa de suas decisões no passado.
IKV0070
Por exemplo, depois que você se formou na escola, você enfrentou algumas opções que você poderia escolher a respeito de seu primeiro emprego. Você decidiu. Após essa decisão, a direção de sua vida mudou. Se você tivesse decidido buscar outras opções ao invés de selecionar essa opção, talvez você tivesse acabando indo para em um lugar diferente, e estivesse trabalhando com pessoas diferentes agora.
IKV0080
No entanto, você possivelmente queria fazer outra coisa, antes de tomar essa decisão. Talvez você estivesse dizendo:
- Eu decidi mudar daqui. Eu vou sossegar em uma pequena cidade litorânea, não tão populada e vou trabalhar por conta própria.
Agora você vive numa cidade lotada e você está trabalhando para uma grande organização. Porque você fez o que era necessário fazer, não o que você sonhava. Em outras palavras, você decidiu que os outros desejos permaneceriam apenas desejos.
"Onde quer que você veja um negócio de sucesso, lembre-se que alguém tomou uma decisão corajosa."
