Imagine you are shopping for say, a bag. You have gone to almost every single bag shop along Orchard Road and finally, you find one that you really like – the design, the colour, the size – and the price is pretty reasonable. But there is one problem; you can’t get over the fact that there is a small print of, say a unicorn, on the bag. You stand in the shop staring at the bag again and again. You really like the bag very much, but the small print that you do not fancy is really quite an eye sore. “Should I buy it, should I buy it?” You kept asking yourself. You have been out the whole day, you are tired and the thought of having to go to another place is just not too appealing. What do you do?
For me, I choose to forget why I even like the bag in the first place and only remember the fact that it has got an ugly print on it. I may even come up with more reasons why I do not like the bag. I will then quit shopping for the day and hope that I will find one that I like on my next shopping trip.
But sometimes, it is difficult to forget something that you like so much, so easily. So, it keeps coming back to haunt you. After a while, I am not too sure how I feel about the bag anymore. And when I finally decide to take another look at the bag again, it is already out of stock.
This is me, most of the time, for almost everything that I do.
I must stop.
