The had lessons of paying for something less than what you expect.

There are some things that when you remember them, you get angry immediately. Especially when you pay more for a less service or a less product. I have fallen victims of it several times and yet I can't say that tomorrow I will not fail a victim again. The reason why I said that is because people look good outside but right inside of them, is as black as darkness. Sorry for using that harsh word. But is really annoying when someone who you trust so much cheat you all in the name of trying to help you.

Well, let's move to the topic of the day.

More For Less

*Have you ever paid for something but ended up getting less than you expected? What led to that moment?
In some occasions I have paid for things less and get more, while in some occasions I have paid for more and get less. But you know that we humans beings don't want to lose anything, we just want to gain and Gian and gain. When it is gain, I rejoice and dance around, but it pains me so much when it is lose.

A month back I gave some one money to buy a bushel of rice for me, which was sopposed to be fifteen measures according to our measurements here, instead of getting fifteen measures, I got seventeen and half which was more than what expected. But the one that is a problem is the last android phone I used before buying the present one. I was so desperate because I want to use it for hiving that I didn't bother to check very well. A phone repairer called me and said that someone is in need of money and wanted to sell his phone and that it will be good for anything online. Thinking that because I will be buying it from the repairer, it will not have problem. I bought the phone at the said amount and started using. For some days it didn't give me any problem, but with time it started developing problem from one point or the other. That was when I got to know that the owner was actually selling it because of all the problems it was given. They just did a little repair and sold it to me.

How did you react to it?
I felt very bad but there was nothing I can do than just to use the phone till I got a new one.

Were you able to get the true value of what you paid for?* Not at all. The problems kept increasing and I was always angry with myself for buying that phone.

Friends, I have learnt my lessons. If it is not new phone, I am not buying. When I bought this one that I am presently using, I don't have enough money, but I went to the seller and bought it through easy buy. I paid with interest in four months which was better for me. After the payment, my phone was still very new and up till today, it is still new and very active.
