This Monday due to my hectic schedule and a small element of absent-mindedness, I
double- booked myself. I ended up forfeiting a ticket to a play(theatre) for 17 pounds (non-refundable and I did not have time to pass it onto someone else). It was not a huge sum but I was not happy about it and kept thinking about it.
It suddenly dawned on me that if I dwelt on it, I will lose MORE than the face value of the ticket of 17 pounds as time is money. I finally managed to convince myself to “bite the bullet” and move on. “Don’t cry over split milk” has some truth in it.
