However, today I would like to talk about a time when I spend more than expected on item. Well, I can easily recall that time. One month ago I saw a beautiful jacket on Amazon and it cost me around 3000. Immediately I made my mind to buy this and after waiting for two weeks I received my parcel. I was so happy after receiving this parcel. Ten days ago I went to market with my friend Sanjum and we found the same jacket at a store and it was about 1000 rupees. I was so disappointed all my excitement turned into disappointment. After that I started feeling regretting. I shared this moment with my mother and she told me that never regret on things that have already done in the past. Focus on your future and learn from your mistakes.
