Just a quick note to myself. I never “Need” anything - unless, of course, it’s surgery to save my life or something equally important.
That shiny, glossy screened, tiny, portable laptop with the really long battery life that only costs £299?
That fantastic piece of software that promises to increase my productivity by 10,000% if I only part with $20?
That DVD that I haven’t seen yet? The one I’m desparate to watch, and it so happens I’m staying in a hotel with nothing to do?
I never NEED these things, I just WANT them. In the long run, they join the pile of discarded shiny things that I have, akin to the junk collected by a magpie.
I never NEED, I only WANT. And I’m not going to buy it.
