Resolve the fight over an orange

Resolve the fight over an orange

After a hard day of work, you reach home.
Upon reaching home, you find your two daughters, who are seven and seventeen years old, fighting over an orange. Your wife has offered them other fruits, but both insist on having an orange only. At this time you have only one orange at home.
Now since you are home, your wife has asked you to resolve this fight. You request them to share the orange this time and promise to bring more oranges tomorrow.
But they are adamant and do not agree to your proposal. Each daughter insists on a complete orange now.
What are you going to do?

I will ask them to take half orange now and go to sleep. Early morning I will bring two oranges each.

The mistakes we make in our everyday life

We human beings engage in thinking and decision making in our daily life. It is our ability to solve problems and choose the best course of action, which leads to better outcomes. But we also make systematic errors when we think and at times we don’t even realize. We fail to think clearly because of our emotions such as anger or fear and this leads to wrong decision making as well as avoidable harm.

These systematic errors are known as biases. We can learn, understand to notice these biases within us and around us. Once we know, then we can also take action to avoid these biases, prejudices and beliefs and act to avoid the harm. Biases are systematic and predictable errors we make.
