so i was asked to reflect on this article about economics…and this is all i can come up with haha.. its all about oppurtunity cost and i think i made quite a different essay?:D

People have been lucky to be given the freedom to choose and I guess people who choose wisely are the ones who get the most out of everything they do. We all know we always have to make choices in life because as life goes on people change, and how do things change? When people start to decide, whether to move or not whether to live for something or end up dying for nothing. I guess what the article is trying to tell me is that everyone has the right and freedom to do whatever they will but it would be at their own risks. No one else will be held accountable for your own actions but only you and your own self. It doesn’t matter if there were other factors or people involved in a situation you were in, whatever the result will be, it would be your failure or victory whichever would apply, because you chose to put yourself in that situation. So I guess living is all about making choices and living a good life is making the right decisions. And how will one know if he or she made the right decision? Maybe for some it would be like making the right deal for example if you go to this university and end up having a good career because of earning all the knowledge and right and experience while you were in college and choosing that university you went to, for most that would be their basis but for me it would be different. it doesn’t matter to me if you make the best decision as long as you still succeed in the future even if you made a few bad decisions and still be able to do things you were aiming that would be making the right decision for me so I guess it’s just giving your best shot and grabbing every opportunity being given to you. It’s not letting the moment pass you by. But why do people make bad decisions? It’s when people area to afraid to make mistakes and take risks. As the song goes “Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye He waited his whole damn life to take that flight And as the plane crashed down he thought “Well isn’t this nice…” And isn’t it ironic… don’t you think”. Things can get crazy if you don’t live in the moment. I guess I can’t be purely an economist because economists are all about making the right choices and not having to come up with bad consequences. I am only human and therefore I am vulnerable to making mistakes. People always do. We are all bunch of crazy kids in this world pretending to live like we got all the time. In the end we are the only ones to judge if we lived our lives the way it should be. So I guess I’m still figuring things out. Some kid on college going mad in life but still living each day thinking that this is the best it should get.

“Alice: But I don’t want to go among mad people. The Cat: Oh, you can’t help that. We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad. Alice: How do you know I’m mad? The Cat: You must be. Or you wouldn’t have come here.”

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

How many days in a year
She woke up with hope but she only found tears
and I can be so insincere,
Making the promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
How many days disappear?
When you look in the mirror so how do you choose?

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
Your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

How many lovers would stay?
Just to put up with this every day and all day?
How did we wind up this way?
Watching our mouths for the words that we say
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearing the clothes on the soles of our shoes
How do we get there today?
When we’re walking too far for the price of her shoes

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
Your hair never falls in quite the same way
But you never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

Well your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
And you never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl
Her pretty face she hid from the world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
When she smiles!
