Our emotions or feelings are always valid because it is the part of us as human that

we can’t control, also it is the reason for whatever our reaction is in different situation.

As stated by Adam King “There is no question whether emotion plays a part of

decision-making. It plays a part of all behavior.” Anger, sadness, happiness, fear,

surprise, and love are some of the most common emotions experienced by every

human being. Emotions play a role in everything we do in life, whether directly or

indirectly. It's important to understand how emotions affect the decisions we make

every day because, according to some researchers, emotions can influence

decision-making up to 90% of the time. When you're happy or sad, your brain may

be more likely to priorities long-term benefits over short-term pleasures when

making a big decision. This is because emotions play a significant role in how

decisions are made - and they can override logical reasoning and beliefs about

what will happen in the future.

Humans can't make decisions without considering their feelings. And you wouldn't

want to. No one would ever get married, have children, or start a business if we didn't

make emotional decisions. The emotional tenets of life, liberty, and the pursuit of

happiness served as the foundation for our nation. For example, Mughal Emperor

Shah Jahan build the Taj Mahal, the reason of it is pure love and devotion for his wife.

Also, in a Company, if you want your product to be noticed you’ll do something

unique and something that can attract people. It pays to be creative if you want to

catch the attention of your audience. But what distinguishes a good advertisement

from a bad one, besides creative execution? Why is a commercial memorable? The

Neuro Focus Group conducted a study to find out what makes advertisements

effective. They discovered that emotions control everything and that they are

almost never neutral. How do you elicit emotions in people? According to studies,

people tend to recall an event in relation to how it made them feel, and the

emotions that people most frequently seek out are happiness and excitement.

Though there are numerous emotional expressions, they can be broadly classified

into two types: positive and negative. Love, care, understanding, friendship,

happiness, satisfaction, and so on are examples of positive emotions, whereas

negative emotions include anger, hate, envy, greed, frustration, and so on. We think

with our brains, but most of the time we listen to our hearts. Many of our important

decisions are driven by these emotions, and depending on how they turn out, we

may look back on them with regret or think of them as our most treasured decisions.

But the truth is that they do have an impact on our choice. In determining whether

we experience positive or negative emotions, our environment, family history,

education, life experiences, and everything else that is related to us is crucial. When

your family and friends are upbeat and can cheer you up when you're feeling down,

it helps you make wise decisions. Making decisions that are just and fair only requires

a few factors to be considered. Use your intellect and keep in mind both the positive

and negative aspects of the situation. Try to distinguish between the correct and

incorrect positions on the issue rather than letting your emotions influence your

choice. Never make a choice when you are furious; always wait until you are

composed.
