Long-term vs Short-term
Friday, January 26th, 2007I have a friend here who encourages me to open a topic for discussion about this long-term and short-term related in making some decision. What kind of decision that we always headache of? Money, studies, families, friendship or relationship?
What I wanted to discuss about is making decision in the love relation. Firstly, what we are long-term’s and short-term’s benefits including here. For example, Ms G has a boy-friend name Mr. A and in the meanwhile she also going on with another guy name Mr. B. When a day came to Ms G that she needs to choose one between Mr. A and Mr. B, what do u all think she will be choosing? Mr. B considers the third party but he is also someone that Ms G likes. But this does not mean that Ms G do not likes Mr. A.
In the process of choosing either one, Ms G was very smart that she had been using this “long-term and short-term” terms in helping her. In the short-term, she had be with Mr. B more than Mr. A, very happy with him ever. Mr. B even did help her in financial while Mr. A doesn’t. Mr. B is working now, he have plenty of time accompany her and even can die for her. In the other hand, long-term would be consider in Mr. A that he is studying and will be graduate and brighter future. Mr. A even is her family’s favorite choice and good-looking guy. While Mr. B is a sick person who may leave her alone any time.
Can we really consider all this effect in making our decision one day? Are this fair to others? Can we estimate what really happen in the future in predict the long-term? Do leave your comment for this blog. Thank you!
