on being content and being happy

a classic case in point: i was longing for this new GTI with all the options. i found one good example on sale 2nd hand, i anguished over how much i should pay but know i would be happy with it. upon successfully negotiated a price, i'm suddenly in the grip of despair that i might have paid too much. How much is enough?? should be just be happy and content with what we have and stick with our original decision? answer is definitely yes. many Chinese fell victim to this simple yet difficult to recognise sin. we base everything firstly on the next best option and secondly on what everyone else is getting, instead of being content at least briefly and enjoy what we did manage to get, suppose that was what we wanted in the first place.

being determined: it's truly easier said than done. on a superficial level, i shall not question but provide solutions. i shall evaluate the circumstance and be able to respond using the best available information and act on my decision. this is what a responsible person should do, i think?
