Once the toothpaste is out of the tube, it is awfully hard to get it back in. - H. R. Haldeman
This was my fate this morning when I woke up and wanted to brush my teeth. As usual when I get up from bed the first thing I do is to take care of my teeth then go have my bath but this morning was quite different; my tube was empty, there was no paste in it. I noticed the reduction in the paste as I kept on using it three days ago and hoped to buy another one but I was penniless, I was without any cash to buy another toothpaste and the price of things had spiked up.
Inflation is like toothpaste. Once it's out, you can hardly get it back in again. - Karl Otto Pohl
Seriously my toothpaste getting finished at this point in time thought me several things just as it has thought me about inflation. Things rise fast at every slight opportunity, but finds it very hard to drop to its normal price when things regularizes itself.
I had to brush my teeth and I had no money on me. Asking my neighbors would have been a good idea, but it would look awkward and I keep my self-esteem high, so I had to borrow some quotes.
That if desperate times call for desperate measures, then I'm free to act as desperately as I wish. - Suzanne Collins
When you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on. - Theodore Roosevelt
I decided to cut the tube of the toothpaste to enable have access to the remaining toothpaste, on a good day, I would not do that but I learned a little about economics and made sure I did not waste the toothpaste.
I was able to brush my teeth today and I hope to buy a new toothpaste today. My everyday life is full of different experiences that I learn from.
Would you do the same thing I did if your get finished and you have no cash to purchase another one?
If no, what would you do?
