Too Many Choice Is No Choice!





It is always bad to have too many Choice unless you have one target only or that becomes no choice at all.
When I was working on the ship, whilst the ship was steaming 30 days from Rostock/East Germany to Siracha (An island near Pattaya)  Those Sailors, oilers and Junior officers fetched whenever the first came into sight in the bars or pubs at the first night after anchorage... After a couple of days, they started to become choosy, either too fat, too short, too old, would not be their choice anymore….that is human being… We can’t blame them… as Hunger makes your less choosy!
Same when you are hungry, you won’t mind a MacDonal Big Mac or an overnight sandwich!

Today I passed by Guang Dong restaurant who is good at these roasted goose, Cha Siu and Crispy Pork..
When I am Hungry , I think anything could be Ok for me., but when I have time, I would choose the best roasted Goose left leg first, Cha Siu, then Roasted Pork and Chicken , this is my priority in choosing the dishes.
How about watches?….  even more headache in making the right choice!!
My consideration is:
1.Do I have the budget?
2. What is purpose buying that watch?
3. Condition of the watch?
4. Do I need to buy that Watch?
5. Is it an upgrade?
6.What is Market value Today and 5 to 10       years later?
7. Will you use it or will you make this as investment only?
I will buy that watch only if it meets all the following factors.
1. Rare Species!
2. Fall into my target of Watch Collection!
3. It will be an Upgrade!
4. Good Value in Long terms
5. Only I have the budget
6. Under-valued item.
