The Second Chance

When a new song has released, for the first few weeks it is like hot chocolate 🍫 everyone loves it πŸ’“ . The radio stations start to play the song 24*7. And what happens is, we get fed up, and we lose the taste for the song. And slowly with the time, the radio stations reduce the number of times the song being played and it gives another song, a chance to rise. πŸ“» 🎧

For the Foodies let me say like this ; πŸ˜‰

Think of an ice-cream 🍦 of your favourite flavour; the first lick πŸ‘… it is super awesome, and it tends you to go for a second one. But when you come to the last few licks, the enthusiasm you had at the beginning to go for a second will have faded away for sure. πŸ‘†πŸ»

In economics, this condition is known as MARGINAL UTILITY; thus, the interest we have on something will decrease with the increasing no. of units we consume. πŸ‘£

This marginal utility applies to our lives too. If you do something heartbreaking for a person, you have another chance to get it right. Because if someone really loves you, he/she will surely forgive you at first. But if you keep doing the same fault again and again, then the love for you on his / her mind will start to drop and finally, they will begin to avoid you. Indeed you cannot be πŸ’― perfect. That is why from nature, we are made not to lose our utility at the very first time. So consider it as a second chance and make sure not to do the same fault again because a third chance will not be that much sweet as the second chance.πŸ‘Œ
