N vs W

"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".

At this moment, I am really grateful because of you. Because you are reading this. Thanks to you.

The 15 Seconds

Every second matter, every second count. The importance of time seems undeniable, "Time is Money" has declared this belief. However, one of the most genius scientists states that the time is relative. The same amount of time, let's say a minute, could be a long time for some people but short for the others. Not only the individual factor, the type of activity also increase the time perspective's variety.

Have you ever deal with the salesman in the public place? What is your reaction and what happened at that time? One thing for sure, that salesman has "products" then promote them to you. You, as a consumer, have the choice to take it or leave it. Yet, before we moving on to "that" choice, you have the choice to be attracted or not beforehand. Based on this analogy, let's imagine the salesman's role who have to promote our products whether it is raw material, service, or maybe an idea.

Let's say we want to explain an idea to an important person which that person's time is as expensive as the gold and we only have less than a minute to describe the idea. What will we do?

Based on the expert's advice, we have to use the association technique which connects the similarity of ours with another well-known "products" in the same sector and then explain the major difference between them. It will be better if you take less than a quarter minute.

Sometimes we tend to ignore the whole conversations while we communicate with a stranger, nevertheless, we would pay more attention if it connects with something we know precisely.
