Right or Wrong?

I’m sure, not once but many a times in your life you must have faced a situation where you didn’t know whether to do something or not. It’s more or less like your hearts begging you to go ahead but your brain/conscience is not giving you the green signal. All your heart cares about is the possible moment of happiness but your over-smart brain just doesn’t want you to be happy and keeps reasoning with you that it would be unacceptable to the anyways useless society and its age-old morals. Don’t worry. It’s probably just jealous of your heart. After all it’s the brain whose primary job is to think but you want to listen to your heart who always keeps messing with your brain.

So now what do you do in this situation? Who do you listen to? Listen to your brain, ‘coz, after all, it’s always right and will always keep troubles at bay? But your heart keeps behaving like a child, “I want chocolates, I want chocolates, I want chocolates…” that’s all it says and you know it wont stop till it gets the chocolates and if you don’t give the chocolates to it, its going to cry n make you feel sad about it.

So what should you do? Make the kid happy or listen to the wise guy?

I’m thinking of making the kid happy by giving it what it wants. Unless I take risks I won’t have any gains. Just like Bryan Uncle once said, “Well, it maybe wrong but baby, it sure feels right.” So be it. What’s the point of having principles that keep you away from what makes you happy? Even if it’s just momentary. I’m just going to ask the wise guy to muster courage and face the consequences when they arise. After all he’s the intelligent one and not the kid.

Besides you know what they say. “When you don’t know whether to do something or something or not, JUST DO IT (yeah, Nike got something right). When you get old and look back at your life, you wont regret the things you have done as much as the things you never did”

Opportunity Cost (in Accounting terms)

Imagine this... You have a nice little mobile phone. Its about a year old. The only problem you face is that the sound output isn't satisfactory. You come across an offer that a much better but a bit expensive cellphone was going at a discount. You think if you should give up your current phone for simply failing to stand up to your musical standards or continue with it 'coz hey the phone's always been there by your side. When your 2nd boyfriend dumped you for that hot girl or you dumped your 3rd boyfriend 'coz he couldn't stop leering at your best friend. The phones been your best buddy by connecting you to other people and helping you spread rumors about those guys... Hence after some more pondering and maybe some kinda emotional attachment to your old phone or merely the new phone not being worth giving your dear old phone up for, you finally decide to stick with the old piece. But after a week or so you start to get restless. You think you should have taken the new phone during that discount offer. But now a week later you realize its too late and the offers gone and now u will be stuck with your old phone.
Sounds familiar? Maybe not a cellphone but some other object. Or maybe a person as in you have a boyfriend who doesn't have time for you and then a much smarter guy asks you out but you decline as you don't want to dump your old boyfriend nor cheat on him 'coz you think you still love him and he will find time for you but even after a week's time he doesn't and then u regret not grabbing the opportunity (read: the smarter guy's hand).
Funny isn't it how being attached to something can be a loss-making deal? You knew it was time to move on but you're so afraid of change that you just cant let go. What do you do now? Try to be satisfied with the old cellphone or just go and get the new phone anyways? If you say get the new phone will you but the same piece that was previously at a discount or get some other handset this time?
