"I need a new phone," she said.
"What for? You already have one."
"The camera. I need it to bolster up the quality of my work."
Well, she's not working in documentation or advertising division, yet I understand that a better camera will significantly help her in event organization, "okay let's find one."
"I think this phone has enough feature that fit with your wish at the low price."
"Yeah, but its RAM only 1gb, my sister said that I need at least 2."
"Well, that one will do then."
"Naah, the price exceed my budget."
"I'll lend you mine."
"No need, let's find another one."
I sighed and followed her footsteps to another counter.
First of all, I really understand that sometimes we need something to enhance our work quality, in this case: phone. NEED. However, even though the specifications has fulfilled our need we still want more, at the same price. WANT.
Need and want could be a big problem when they have a big gap between them. Das sein das sollen, the difference among these two create the problem. Still, it is hard to distinguish need and want in some occasion. As long as I know, need is something that will be sustained and useful in the long term. On the other hand, want refers to something instant that will satisfy our prestige, status, or greed.
These topics need a further assessment to develop our understanding. However, the final conclusion at this moment is "need is better than want".
