Your toilet paper

You see on the news people fighting each other when the toilet paper pallets comes allong the hall in Costco. You see them and think, damn these people are really stupid. Why would they want to hoard this particular product?

But then, it is your time to go get some groceries. And, as you pass the toilet paper aisle, you see the crowd running to get the last packages of the white gold…then you feel the urge to join them in the shopping frenzy.

After a few steps forward you hit the breaks. How isn’t possible that you was going to indulge in the collective folly. Yesterday they were stupid for you. Today they don’t look so idiotic. As you walk back to your car, they look dumber and dumber.

Well that is the depiction of an irrational behavior. One of many we humans do. Actually we are mostly irrational. And the stupid things one does, have a particular way to seem logical to that person.

So what’s your stupid? Have you ever thought what habits or behaviors are becoming, or have been a ballast in your life? In your career? In your business?
