After studying so hard and in depth for economics, finally I can let out a relieved sigh. Yes, its partially over. I went through the trouble, going too much in detail. I just cannot believe how much time I spent dwelling on Cournot model, Bertrand model, Says' Law. I must be impeccable ? Perhaps not.
Okay, academics aside.
Its one too many times that people commented how exploited I am. Incredulous claim. Outraged, yes yes yes. When one is told repeatedly, my believe starts to shake. Being a friend doesn't mean that I have to do everything and anything for a person. Its time to think of myself. Someone would have thought about that before asking me for favours. I shall not waste any reader's time by enumerating the benefits of thinking for yourself.
Say, if you had a leg up, and have a means to prevent someone else from being successful. Will you, by all means, keep those information to yourself?
Honestly, I would love to be selfish. However, some situations just do not allow that personal greediness to come into the picture. There are expectations from the perception that you will always be nice. Keeping to oneself sadly does not fit the expectation to be "nice". So, most people keep up the appearances, moi included, to always give and not take. Slowly, it might form a habit as of the case now.
Being a servant doesn't work in the long term.
Give me or leave me. Sadist. hahaha.
One more paper to go..
BTN time :(
