Impulsive Attitude

April 26, 2013 5:32am CST
It was late afternoon, when a boy came in to our office and he is selling books, to make the story short, the boy is first year college and he avails scholarship and part of that program they must sell books since it is summer time, my co-workers has a lot of questions to they boy, and it boy is very eager to answer all the queries, i just heard there conversation for i'm busy with that time making a report, i take a glance on that boy, he is sweating maybe because of the weather, and i heard he just walking in selling the books. It it almost 30 mins and still my co-worker has a lot of question, about the background of the boy, the publisher of the etc, and i'm already getting annoyed with my co-worker because i know my co-worker will not buy. Then suddenly i stood up, i ask the boy about the books available, he just reply with " i have here a "cooking book" herbal healing book" i spoke right away, " okay i buy the cooking book" i payed the boy and he leaves. I don't have time to scan the book i just saw the cover and put it in my bag. When i go home, packing out my things in the bag then i saw the book, i unwrapped the cellophane that covers the book, then i scanned the content of the book. Oh my! its a Asian Cooking book! i been looking for this kind of book in some book store but i couldn't find one. I'm so glad that i buy that book because i love to cook. Sometimes my impulsiveness is not bad at all in some cases.

The motive to help was the main reason fro such surprise. You don't have an idea that your being kind-hearted was already been rewarded. It's not being impulsive I guess that make it, contrary to what you are saying. Because in the first place, you are not attracted to the book because as you have said you did not bother to open it. Good intention will always bring a good return. Have a great day!

Yes indeed it is a reward for me, i never thought about it at the first place, that time i'm just amazed with hard work of the boy and sacrificing just to have good education.

Ok that was good that you help the boy in his bid to earn some money for his scholarship and at the same time you got the book you want to have.

Good to know that you bought an asian cooking book from that boy. As you mentioned you searched for this kind of book for some while and bought it unexpectedly from this boy, surely this kind of purchase will give happiness.

Hi friend, I also an impulsive buyer. I often buy something without planning, when I see it is interesting, I will buy it. Yes, I think it is not bad attitude as long as we still control on our wallet.

I guess you are just lucky today, LOL. But you are right. It did happen to me but not often. Out of impulsion I did something or bought something and at the end, it is just what I need or what should be done.

I really have an impulsive attitude, but lucky for me my impulsiveness doesn't make bad things to me and i'm getting used to that attitude of mine.
