The advanced learners dictionary defines decision as the abilty to decide and act according, if you confront me personally anywhere and ask me what decision is, without consulting a dictionary, I shall tell youthat decision is abilty to think something comes to a conclusion.
Indecision on the other hand is the of decision. It is viewed as state of unable to decide or showing signs of uncertainty or willingness in speech or action. This ten-letter-word stagnate progress,- thus, it is unseen as enemy of progress.
When the word "Great" is added to decision (great decision) it means that the decision in question is a remarkable one. It takes great decision to succeed, the only why men fail in life is because they lose focus which is the great decision that one needs to make.

Here are some hints in making great decision:
Personal Development
Setting Goals for yourself
Don't belittle yourself.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Greatness does not come by chance, it comes through personal development. Personal development arises because;
* We have to remain current and maintain relevance in the overchanging world.
* We are in a race
* Time is not on our side
To develop yourself, it requires going for research and desiring to know, you know what you want to achieve, get information that can help you achieve your goals.
The quality of your life depends on the quality of information you are able to get.
Look out for those who belong to the same school of thought with you, remember that the relationship you go with will either make you or unmake you. Many great decision is very simple. find out what the unsuccesful people are doing and do the exact opposite.
SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT
This has do with moving closer to Allah (SWT), irrespective of your religion, there is a God you believe in, move closer to Him. Obey His commandment and see Him in all your involvement.
SET GOALS FOR YOURSELF
Success does not just happen, it has to be set in motion. To succeed in life, you have to set certain goals for yourself, write them down and re-arrange them in other of importance. People without goals cannot achieve anything great.
Now that you have gotten admission to the school of your choice, start taking care of those things that can help achieve your aims, appreciate that course and see yourself making it. Higher Institution of learning is uncomparable to secondary school education . so forget the little you held, leave aside all those prizes you have won, your new school comprises of Geniuses from variois quarters, so set a goal of remaining on top.
DON'T BE LITTLE YOURSELF
Make great decision, don't be llittle yourself, as I have said earliar, your race has nothing to do withyour succes. Black is not a reason for lack, failure and all the rest, you don't need to be white before you are rich.
In conclusion, shun any form of anti-social decants, the consequences are unbearable. I see you going forward and succeeding in your academic endevours (Ameen). Thanks.
