Week 4: Final Draft Hesitation

Although hesitation is instinctively thought to be a bad action, it can be the best thing we do because of money reasons, the risks that come with actions without thinking, and things that will affect us permanently in the long run.
When you plan to go to the mall most of the time people have what they are going to buy already in their minds, but somehow somewhere along the line of walking into a mall and trying to get what you came for you get distracted by that one store that always has something that makes you buy it as soon as you see it. Okay so now you have walked in that store picked up the item that caught your eye but then you realize you can't have that item without this item to go with it so you get that too. Now you're on your way to the cash register all of a sudden more items just so happen to fall in your hands and you think "well it's here I might as well get it."
This is called impulse buying, and a good business knows that if they display something people will but it, we all do it. Do you know how much money you would save if you hesitated a little bit before you actually bought something. If you stopped and actually thought about it, all sorts of reasons will pass through your mind like the cell phone bill that was due two days ago, or some money that you owe someone who just so happens to be the cashier that rings you up. So stop, hesitate and go home and sleep on it because 80 percent of the time when you wake up you're not going to have interest in it, however if you still have the desire to get it then you know you really wanted it and by all means buy it.
How often do you think before doing something, not very many times I'm guessing, after all why should you have to think before going up or down the stairs or eat a bowl of cereal. Our bodies are so use to doing things without thinking that we just do it. It's Friday night your phone has been ringing off the hook everyone is texting you telling you to go to the concert every one's going to be there. You get up to go ask your parents to borrow the car and let them know what time you will be back, you go in and pop the question, and the answer is no. So now your parents are sleep and the keys are on the counter, you think to yourself I'll just be gone a few hours, however you don't think about the risks that follow so you snatch the keys, stuff your bed to make it look like you're sleeping and leave. The concert is nearly over everyone heads out to their cars and tries to leave all at once, common sense would tell people to wait a few minutes, let it clear out some but do we think about that no. So as you're pulling out you see some one's headlights coming at you your first reaction is to step on the breaks which causes you to stop right in front of them which makes the crash look like a capital "T." All kinds of thoughts are passing through your head the two main thoughts are "what if I had sped up instead of pressing the breaks I might have gotten out of their way," also the one thought that rings over and over, "what if I hadn't have taken the car in the first place." Imagine if we hesitated and examined both sides of a situation before doing something, picture how much grief you would save yourself and others.
Different people have different opinions on tattoos, some hate them, some like them, and others say they like them but it's not for them. People get tattoos for many reasons like to represent where they are from, to portray who they are, because a family member or someone close to them has past away, for tradition and culture, and believe it or not there are people who get a tattoo just because they can, those are the tattoos that make no sense. For those who just get them for no reason do you stop to think how it might affect you permanently in the future. When you have a scar like a burn on some part of your body sometimes you think, "I wonder what my skin looked like before that." That's how it is with a tattoo, people get them and then wonder what their body parts looked like before the tattoo, by that time it's too late. There is a way to remove a tattoo but that leaves a nasty scar that looks worse than having the tattoo, in which both are permanently on you for ever. The worst part is tattoos don't look as good when you get older as they do when you are young. Smaller tattoos look alright when you get old it's the bigger ones that you have to stretch out just to see what it is. young men often make the mistake of getting their girlfriend's name tattooed on them and most of those relationships don't last but the name is stuck there. If we hesitated before spending money on things we don't need, before acting on impulse, and before getting tattoos that will affect us permanently we can save ourselves a lot of headaches and embarrassing moments in the mirror in the future.
