Yes we learn when shopping that Marketing is everywhere even before we enter the supermarket and professionals are at work in the details. One but look at the comparing weight of the products even from the same company to realize that sales (discounts) may help and also what may be the reasoning behind it. Like the attraction to something visual like a bear with honey as compared to just a container is marketing par excellence. So lesson> spend the needed time in the supermarket as in daily living and business opening your eyes, mind, emotions and intellect to the bigger picture. Pause when needed then weigh and decide. This will become mental memory and after a time we will not be perfect but better at making all types of decisions. Last point, yes I know...remember NOT making a decision is A decision too, right or wrong!

Good point. Sometimes we get caught in the complexities of life and don’t see things from the simplicity of a child’s perspective.

The simplicity of a child's perspective. Indeed, we all would be better off if we embraced it. Thanks for that thought spark Raj!

We can all learn a lesson on how sometimes we have to respect other people's choices without judgement, support them without interfering, let them have the bear if that is what they think is best.
