ECONS FEVER II

Inspired by Macy's posting of Econs Fever, I would like to link econs to the other part of life as well...^^
First, we face difficulties in identifying the problems and challenges we are goign to faced. As a teenager, most of us always fail in identifying our personal problems well. Emotional is the word suits us appropriately. We may takes quite a long time to identify our inner feelings and when we discover, there is a lag in time of recognition. Between, there are always sudden shock that influence our EQ. We can feel blissful at this moment, but it can turn to be gloomy mood, this is what we call conflicting signals sent out by our nerves!

Next, after we identify our problems, we have to choose the right mix of policies to adjust our feelings. What policies mix should be chosen so that we can recover faster without overwhelmed by the new injections? This is the problem we faced. Also, the magnitude of the action creates another complication. We,as a young people, we tend to choose a bigger magnitude of actions in order to rebuild our confidence. Moreover, we like to extend the duration of the actions, indulge in the joys or sadness extensively. Failure to pull ourselves out of the new injection is always there. This situation is worsen when we are influenced by peer pressure. Rebellious characteristic cause us to be swayed easily, stepping into the wrong route. At the same time, we will face different body of knowledge from parents, teachers, elderly as well as the society. Different suggestions and decisions are made for us, hoping us to have a bright future. Nonetheless, these advices are always seen as a trouble for most of us.

By the time we do what we think is right, we may face resistances from different groups of people as well. For our study, family may resist us from taking the courses we like; as for relationship, family and friends may not agree with our choice as well. there will be some resistances in every decision we made. There are also objectives clashes for every decision made. There are always pros and cons for every decisions. This is time we have to make choices, to sacrifice which one? opportunity costs are exist as there is scarcity to meet our unlimited wants.

Lastly, we may not get the desired outcomes when we go along. It may caused by internal problems or external factors. It is all depend on our perseverance and determination to achieve our goals in life!

Let's we tackle all the problems meticulously. After I realised these problems faced by government when they make decisions, I am now sympathetic for them too...^^..We should not blame so much on the policies chosen though....
