Judgment is discernment applied. Seeing clearly is not enough—you must also decide and act. Wisdom without action is incomplete.
Good judgment balances multiple considerations. It weighs short-term against long-term, self against other, principle against pragmatism.
Judge slowly, act decisively. Take time to form judgment, but once formed, act without hesitation.
Your judgment will sometimes be wrong. Accept this. The goal is not perfect judgment but improving judgment.
Judge actions, not persons. A bad action does not make a bad person. Keep judgment specific and avoid totalization.
The hardest judgments are those without clear right answers. Here wisdom means accepting uncertainty and choosing the best available option.
Trust your judgment, but verify it. Confidence in judgment is necessary for action; humility about judgment is necessary for learning.
Judgment in community is wiser than judgment in isolation. Seek counsel. Test your conclusions against others' perspectives.
