Daily Dose of Faux Affliction
Something set me to think. Well, only for a moment though.Have you ever been in a situation where you have a difficulty in deciding whether to do or not to do? I will be lying if I say that I never encounter it before. You are being put on a spot. There is nicely wrap parcel in front of you. You got an option of either to open it or not. Clueless of what is inside. Unsure of the 'right' decision.Option A: You choose to open it. Slowly you unwrap the parcel, not wanting the wrapping paper to torn into pieces. The heart is beating fast. Feeling of anxious and fear mix together. You would be lucky if there is an authentic Rolex watch or something as expensive/valuable as that in there.You will be as happy as the Singapore soccer players winning the world cup. On the other hand, if there is a bomb inside, you will be blown into pieces and would not be reading this blog right now. That is what we do not want.Option B: Be like an ignorant guy and just leave the parcel. You will not get the valuable stuff and also not blown in pieces. Go on doing our own stuff.From this, I got few questions to ask, I bet all of us want to avoid bad outcome but how would you know that the outcome will be bad if you do not even do it? You will know only after you have done it but isn't it too little too late ?If you choose to just leave it, you will just carry on with your own boring life.All this boils down to one thing, RISK. If you are someone who love taking risk, you will want to open the parcel, even though you do not know what the outcome will be. I guess there would not be many billionaires right now if there are no risk taker. To end this, I will say that I am not much of a risk taker, well, maybe a little. Depends on the situation I think.Alright, that is all folks.Lets not crack our brain and think too much.Have a nice day and have fun.Live life to the fullest. :)
