There’s something about money!!
February 18, 2008 7:52 am Opinion & AttitudeI do have a question in my mind which is "what will you do when you have to split 9 cents half and half?" It’s such a silly question, isn’t it? Yet, I never thought about this kind of question before I’ve faced this situation yesterday. Let’s talk about the choices.
Hmm.. Let’s start with take 4 cents immediately. In my viewpoint, this is fine because it show how nice you are, and that 1 cent is less significant than your relationship.
In contrast, what if one person is greedy enough to take 5 cents as fast as he/she can. In my opinion, it’s not such a good manner. The next question will be "How do you feel about such a person like that?"
Furthermore, the only alternative for me is let’s another person choose first. I think it’s the way to show how I respect him/her. And if he/she let me choose first, I’ll take 4 cents for sure. I won’t let this any kinds of bad feelings ruin the relationship.
Can you guess what I did? I did let her take all of them and said "it was OK, and you could take them all." Then, she took them all and didn’t say anything.
It’s so fun to learn about people from how they behave. Many times, I thought it was impossible to happen in real life, but it was surprised me that I was wrong. Maybe I believe in human beings too well to be true in every single one.

It’s the same thing as taking a decision to pick a big shrimp or small one in the soup. If you are going to pick it first, normally you will grab the small one and let your friend have a big one. Is that right?
So why bother? If he or she picks first and gets the big one, that’s just the same result as what you are going to do anyway.
Why I said this? I just want to let you know that just being what you were, not thinking about this much. If not, it will ruin only yourself since you couldn’t fix anything but be one of them.
^_^ Life is still good no matter what we have seen, remember that.
