8. Exemple de production • Being faced with a dilemma is not something we like, and yet, we’ve all experienced it at one time or another. The last time I had a difficult choice to make was last year. • Indeed, I had to choose which section was most suitable for me to carry on my studies in high-school. I can’t say I’m the literary type, so opting for a GCSE in arts was out of the question, but then I could have selected either economics or sciences as my majors.

And I still haven’t. • I finally made a decision : I chose sciences. Was I right ? Would it have been better for me to choose economics ? Nobody will ever know if it was the right or the wrong choice. And I don’t want to have regrets. What is done, is done, and once we have set our minds upon a course, let’s do the best we can to succeed in it. There’s no turning back anyway, so why wonder ? Still, I can’t help wondering, if I had taken the other road …..
