Never think of altering deals in a moment when you think you could do better, or get more for yourself on a single incident. Lets face it we are all number one in our own world when push comes to shove, but remember number one can learn more form failure and using the gift of time, than number one can ever learn from quick draw reactions. Unless of course number one has been down that road before and knows the outcome, but then again if number one is on the road to disaster yet again, then number one clearly made and error in decision a few miles back down the road, so number one deserves what is coming down the pipe. What is the saying? If you make the same mistake twice then it's not a mistake but rather a choice. I'll give some lenience on that dog, cause sometimes the mistake is hidden... but then that's the goal... to see life from a calm perspective and see what is as what is, and of course what isn't as what isn't.
If there is one thing i loathe it is the person who talks big about a plan and then a few steps into a plan tries to tell the world that they are doing too much and others are doing too little and therefore they need to get some more for themselves. I say, you can never settle all the scores until it's over, and for sure if your mind is closed due to this unfortunate state of megalomania then you will always have these problems, and you deserve them, once you give up then you cease to learn from the full circle.
In my life, i have been blessed with dealing with numerous difficult people, and as a result i have learned numerous lessons that i wouldn't have. What is the other saying? People can teach you 2 things... what to do and what not to do. Some of the best things i have learned is on the what not to do angle, but the trick is, you have to ride the "what not to do" angle out to it's disastrous final and suffer the brunt of the fiasco, because of course the difficult person will never take any ownership of the problem once the problem has occurred, but rather shift the onus on the student. It's the way life goes, for good or ill, and you can never give up on learning. Well actually most do, for fear of being wrong... or something like that. If i never stuck with the game, i never would have had the knowledge to write the song "frustrated man", which never would have been heard by a certain club owner, which never would have got me in the good books, which never would have lent me the opportunity to start a weekly show, which never would have allowed me to learn another large series of grand lessons. I could have shut my game down a decade ago under the idea that i was wronged, and it's wasn't fair, and my failure wasn't mine so to say.
Not that i have accomplished anything so to say, in terms of "considered success", but that's OK... I'm doing pretty good at the end of the day... Because a deal is a deal, an a life is a life, and you do have the choice in which you want to live it. Provided you live in a rich country and were raised to mind your financial maters, so that you don't become someone who wished they could. But on that note, barring certain maters, some of the world's poorest people are some of the happiest, maybe they have never tasted excess, as i have, but sometimes i see clips of them singing and making music out of nothing, and getting into it, and i think; It would be hard to find people to find joy in those situations in the world i live in... rather it might be people bitching about what they did and what others didn't.
If i were to run for king of the world:
I would ban plastic, punish advertising by death, put politicians on a modest stipend, make it illegal to claim scientific patents, ban religion from politics, legalize illegal drugs... and by then of course i would be assassinated... but that's another story.
If you make a deal. follow it though, it's the best thing you can do... for yourself.
