Most of my grounded decisions are inspired due to the mistakes that my brother committed when I used to accompany him in his gambling days.

Growing up, we were not a wealthy family- my father was able to meet all the obligations and responsibilities for the family and we just had enough money to at least eat three (3) times a day. Given our financial condition at that time, my brother used to gamble his savings in order to purchase something luxury for himself.

When my brother used to gamble, he always preferred to tag me along because I always make the rationalize decision. I always called the shots of going home instead of just gambling more his winnings. However in some cases, despite my insistence of going home because he had already won, he would gamble more and eventually lose everything.

In sum, the experiences of my brother is what made me at least firm on my decisions to stop gambling whenever I reach my goal or incurred a loss on my given budget.
