When Past Effort Shapes Today's Choice
AI cover

Think about this: you buy a film ticket. You do not like the film, and you want to go home. But you stay because you paid. Staying cannot bring your money back.

Money or time we cannot get back can change what we do next. We may not want to feel that we made a bad choice. But something that was good for us before may not be good now.

What can you do? First, think about the money or time you cannot get back. Then ask:"What do I want to do now?" Think about what you can get from each choice. How much more time or money does each one need?

This does not mean you must stop when something is hard or boring. The film may get better. You may learn something by doing a difficult job. Also, think about what you said you would do.

Learn from the past, but think about what is best now.
