NOTHING IS FREE

Every mentally sane human like it when people are giving something for free to them . These free items could include services , goods or anything that comes without any hidden charges . I had just read an article regarding this " free " issue and I had to admit , HE is absolutely right .

Let me give you an example . When a cordial drink bottle is included with a free gift , say a decorative glass , what will people do ? They will rush to buy as many cordial drink as possible , willing to sacrifice their hard earned money on the item . The question is , who is the WINNER and who is the LOSER ? The WINNER is the company and the supermarket and the LOSER is the customers . WHY ? It is simple . Actually that decorative glass only cost a penny to made , thanks to cheap labour and low operational cost . When the company can cut their production cost , normally they will put a higher price for the free item , say it's RM5 when it actually cost only RM0.50 to made . Let say the cordial cost RM7 , add with free item , maybe they will go on sale for RM12 . Now , all they have to say to the customer is , " If you buy our RM12 cordial drinks , you will get to collect a decorative glass . Collect all 6 designs and you can get one entry into the lucky draw .

Now , I think I am making everything clearer now . The company is " robbing " your wallet while the supermarket gets to " squeeze " you out . Now , who is the WINNER now ? HAHAHA

The second scenario is about education . You see , all of us wants to get a good , high paying job . Now , for that to happen , you must go to college and get a degree . The college part is where your whole life can turn upside down . If you go to a college simply because that college has free transport , free food , free concert and so on and so forth , it will not bring you any good . What if the college degree is not recognized ? Most people are not willing to invest in good colleges like Sunway , Taylor 's and Curtin . Yes , their fees are expensive and maybe your family cant afford it or maybe you did not get any scholarship . But in my opinion , if you can study and graduate from any of these colleges with flying colours , you are opening your world to endless possibilities and chances . Employers will find you , maybe they will pay back more or equal amount of money you have invested earlier.

Now , don't you think that paying a small fortune to get something that will make your life better is a wise decision ? Just remember , nobody is going to give their hard earned expertise and product for free . You got to pay for it .

Now , where is my free coupons?
