  1. Hey peeps, thought to share my experience of what transpired yesterday with you all. So... on my way to the mall, I bought a Nigerian flag from one of the guys selling it by the roadside. Right beside him were 2 beggers doing what they know how to do best. I rarely give alms largely because I typically don't like to encourage what I am not in support of (debate for another day). To cut the long story short, I bought my flag and paid N200 for it without negotiating it because there was no point in doing so really... As I imagined the mark-up on each couldn't be much. It was at that point the beggers sort of started to plead louder and act more desperate. I handed out N500 and got back N300 change in return. On second thought, I handed it all back to the flag guy and asked him to please split it between the 2 beggers. Sighs... I felt like shit 5seconds afterwards. I felt like rubbish because I could have given the flag guy N100 extra to get himself a drink and made the 2 beggers share the remaining N200. But more importantly, the reason I felt horrible was because I had just conveyed the wrong message to the flag guy. A message that clearly points out to him that it pays to beg than sweat it out in a trade. ...because if begging can give just about the price of a single item in his stock then what is the point of it all. I still feel down but at least, lessons learnt. Do you also have similar experiences when you've emphasized the wrong things unintentionally? Do share.
