Loosing the Plot

Today we went for a walk with our 3 year old Daughter around Westonbirt Arboretum.
She wanted to bring her push-along tricycle, so we need to follow a route suitable.

We consulted the map and made a decision to follow 'the yellow route', because it was suitable for wheelchairs.

I then blindly and obstinately stuck to this 'yellow route', despite by-passing numerous alternatives that were clearly better for the tricycle. We had made our decision and needed to stick to it!!!

That's how quick plan's and decisions loose their context!! Especially if you're not very bright.

I discussed with a friend of mine on Friday new economic models involving micro commodity transactions within facebook games and online worlds such as world of warcraft (with real sweat-shops based around accumulating artefacts and characters - i.e. https://gamersloot.net/).

Similar stories I thought.
