KNOW WHEN TO CHANGE YOUR MIND AND DO IT FAST!
I stepped out this morning and on getting to the road, this car owner or taxi driver seemed rather in hurry but very willing to take me to my destination.
As I drew closer to confirm where he was headed, I took a quick glance at the inside of his car; surprisingly spotted a little calabash (are you kidding me?) behind; his friend (I suppose) was beside him although he seemed like someone who was really busy on a call (or so I thought).
The driver insisted I got in first but I decided I was going to find out how much and then beat it down to a very ridiculous price that should make him angry enough to drive off!
But guess what?
He only insisted that I got in (meaning it was a free ride).
Hmmm…
My last resort was to just tell him I had changed my mind and as soon as I told him, I quickly stepped aside to get another cab I could pay for and feel comfortable about it.
I may be wrong but was not surprised when I saw the same driver going a different direction away from the cab I had boarded.
My point is:
When the thought of going ahead with a decision gives you a sense of uneasiness that is not normal to you, it is very okay to decline and don’t fail to do so in a hurry!
I realized at that point that it was better that I paid the price to get to my preferred destination rather than getting it paid for and having to suffer possible consequences for disregarding the red flag I spotted earlier.
What price are you willing to pay now in other to avoid having regrets later?
