Gut Instinct.
I'm afraid that I am not very much of an expert on gut instinct. Every single time i go with my gut, I end up doing the wrong thing. Yet when I go against my gut it always seems to be that I should have chosen to go with my gut. Its quite unfortunate this conundrum I'm in. I can relate this post to fantasy football and school. I am a very active member in the fantasy football community, and i play in a league with my friends. There are some of my friends that know much more about fantasy football than others, so I often go to them for advice. Unfortunately their advice always seems to conflict with my gut instinct. This causes a huge dilemma for me as I am a very indecisive person. Because they are the experts, I usually follow their advice, and it turns out that my gut instinct would have been a much better option. After this happens for a while, I start going with my gut, and ignoring my friends' advice. I feel confident in my choices, but it turns out that my friends' advice was correct, and my gut was wrong. There has never been a happy outcome in this situation.
It pains me to say that the same exact thing happens to me during school. I take a wide variety of classes in order to challenge myself, yet one factor remains the same through all of my classes, there are tests. I usually am quite prepared for the tests, I study ahead of time and I do lots of review work. When it comes to test day, I easily answer the questions I know, and I try to exercise smart testing techniques by narrowing down each question to two answer choices. I feel confident enough that I can still be successful my increasing my odds of choosing the right answer. Alas, my conundrum arises yet again- I can't decide whether to go with my gut, or to go with the other answer. No matter which option I choose I always end up getting the wrong answer.
My natural shortcoming is that I am extremely indecisive, and it certainly doesn't help that the world seems hate me with each choice I make.
Your gut instincts about fantasy football are what makes March madness so much fun. And why I always get destroyed by the animals they always let make picks.
