Assalam u Alaikum,
What a beautiful and interesting topic. I get to see something new every day on Steemit. And learn a lot too. I come to Steemit every time with a new aspiration. And I try my best to present a good effort from my side too.
Whenever we go to the market, we try to buy good things from there. Usually, good things are expensive. It is very rare that a good thing can be obtained for less money. The topic of our contest here is about quality and quantity. What should we give importance to? Should we look at the quality of the thing? Or should we emphasize its quantity.
Here you ask some questions with us.
Which is your preference, Quality or Quantity? Elaborate reasons behind your choice!
In my opinion, both quality and quantity are important. Quality should be given importance somewhere, and quantity should be given importance somewhere. First of all, I will define quality, where it should be given importance.
Where we prefer Quality
We should not compromise on the quality of our food and drink.
Because if something of poor quality goes into our body, it also causes diseases. And we are afraid of harm from it. For example, usually cheap cooking oil, we do not know how it was extracted. And when we use it, its low quality is very harmful to our health. Whereas, by using good quality cooking oil, we do not have to worry about our health. Similarly, in daily use items, milk, coffee, tea leaves, flour. These are such things that demand good quality. If we use something of poor quality among them, we can definitely fall prey to disease. Poor quality milk will go into our body and damage the stomach. Poor quality flour or white flour also causes stomach diseases. Similarly, if we look at drinks, drinks made from artificial chemicals are certainly available at a cheap price. But due to their low quality, they become a cause of harm. And these drinks are often the cause of diarrhea and sore throats.
Similarly, items used in life that are to be used for a long time should also be of good quality.
For example, clothes, shoes, furniture, their good quality indicates their durability. To save money, we buy cheap shoes, cheap clothes, but they get damaged after using them once or twice. Similarly, taking furniture, low-quality furniture lasts only a few days. While good-quality furniture lasts for years.
If the items installed in the house while building a house, such as doors, tiles, paint, kitchen and bathroom accessories, are of good quality, they will last a lifetime. While the items installed of low quality will soon deteriorate and break, or their appearance will be damaged. Then, spending money on them again after some time will waste both effort and money.
Where we prefer quantity
Now comes the question of quantity. So we will think of quantity at the place where we have to use the thing for a short time, or take it and use it and it will end. At that time, we should pay attention to quantity. For example, when there is a gathering in our house or outside, we should pay more attention to quantity than quality. So that the thing we have made and the serving we have taken is complete for everyone. If we try for high quality in this regard, then the high quality thing will not be completed in our budget. Due to which most of the people will be deprived of the thing we have offered. Therefore, at such a time, it is necessary to give importance to quantity. I am not saying that we should take a bad thing and complete the quantity. But a quality that is slightly lower than the high can also be taken. Which will be completed in our budget.
Similarly, in children's toys and clothes, one should pay more attention to quantity than quality. Because children and sometimes adults also use things that spoil very quickly. So at a time when we have something in large quantity, we can use new things.
Some people have the tendency to use things very ruthlessly. Whether it is their shoes, clothes, common items of their use, even their wallets and toothbrushes. They also use them with great carelessness. That is why it is useless for such people to buy good quality things. Because they are forced by their habit to spoil even good quality things very quickly. At such a time, it is regrettable to buy expensive things and good quality things. Therefore, for such people, one should definitely buy things of light quality, because if they spoil something once, our heart will not be sad while buying another thing. Whereas our heart feels very sorry to see expensive things spoil. That money is also wasted and the thing is also gone.
Similarly, in children's toys and clothes, quantity should be given more importance than quality. Because children grow very quickly. And if we think of something as good quality, and the child puts a stain on it or the thing becomes small after a while, we feel very sorry. Because good quality things are very expensive. Especially children's clothes and shoes. Therefore, quantity should be emphasized more than good quality in children's clothes and shoes.
Similarly, children's toys should definitely be bought with a little light quality. Because children get bored of playing for a while. So if we buy a light quality toy, it will also be cheap and when the child stops playing with this toy, we can get him a new toy within our budget. Whereas an expensive toy will cost so much money only once that we will think 100 times while buying another toy.
Do you bargain
While shopping? Share if you have any experience.
Whenever I buy something from the market, I always bargain and get the price reduced.
Because most of the things are deliberately declared expensive by the shopkeepers. So that if someone does not want to bargain, they can get more profit. Whereas, the person who knows the real price of the thing will definitely get the price reduced. That is why I never shop from one shop. First, I find out the rate of the thing I like from two or three shops. And when I know the rate of the thing of my quality, I get the price reduced from the shopkeeper and buy the thing. A direct example of this is the groceries bought in ordinary daily life. By the way, vegetable and fruit sellers are in the business of taking their asking price. But sometimes when we buy vegetables or fruits in large quantities, the shopkeeper lowers his rate. And gives us the thing at our desired rate. Whenever I bring fruits, I always bring more. Because my children love to eat fruit, I bargain to get the price down and buy more fruit.
What must we follow in our daily lifestyle, quality or quantity?In terms to different aspects beside shopping , justify.
We should prioritize quality over quantity in our daily lives.
Make good friends
For example, we should have good and sincere relationships with people in our relationships. Because having relationships with many people who are of no use to us, and their gatherings do not benefit us, is better than that. So it is better for a person to increase his relationships with people with whom his personality improves. Even if they are the best people, they are few in number. And he can gain some information by staying in their company, and improve his personality.
Best use of your spare time
Similarly, we should use our time in the best possible way. We should do the best work in the least amount of time. That is better than being busy all day and not getting anything done. Therefore, the best thing is to save our time from being wasted.
Read good books
Another great example is reading books. Reading one of the best books will be beneficial for us. Instead of many useless books. A good book increases our knowledge and shows the value of time. While useless books are a waste of time and do not increase our knowledge in any way.
Best use of social media
If people use social media for their own benefit and gain information and income from it, it would be a great thing. However, there is also a lot of content on social media that only wastes time and makes you mentally and physically weak and sick. So watch something good and benefit from it, rather than watching too many things and wasting time.
I express my opinion that I have answered all the questions correctly. And you people must also agree with my thinking. It is also possible that some people have different views from me and they do not agree with my opinion. Please tell me in the comments how you liked my post.
