and i don't know why.

so i once read an article about the bad book fallacy. in the article, it illustrates a typical person picking up a supposedly good book to read but finding it pretty dull and uninteresting after the first 150 pages. Seeing that the book is actually only 250 pages long and since the reader has already read thus far, most of them finish the book which predictably wasn't any good in the last 100 pages as well.

in essence, what i am trying to say is: people usually don't know how to cut-loss, to pull out, to stop wasting their time on a futile mission, to stop investing in a product that you know isn't good. especially so if you've already committed so much to it beforehand.

in poker, players often refuse to give up pocket aces even though the board has clearly shown itself to be against them because of the large amount of pre-flop raises that they initiated in the first place.

poker is not just knowing how to win a hand, it's about knowing when to fold as well.

in relationships, people who have been together for a longer time tend to find it alot harder to separate even if it comes to a point where both parties know that they will not work out.

love is not just holding on, it's about letting go as well.

in everything new, we invest way too much hoping that new is good. and even when they prove otherwise we continue in this vicious cycle. just like the razer/shaver story.

life is not about constantly making new things, it's about keeping the old ones as well.

do not mistake me for a person who gives up easily. if i did i wouldn't even have made it to the first 150 pages. this is more than giving up, it's saying to yourself: i have tried, now i am tired and i don't want to try anymore because there is no point.

but that's not the end of your story. when you close a bad book, you can always open a new one.

me looking pretty cool. yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
