HAVE YOU ever opened a wardrobe in the morning and found nothing appropriate to wear? Does it mean there are notenough clothes in the wardrobe? Absolutely not. Ironically, the closet is full of clothes like black jacket that was bought carefree for a 70% off, a dress to wear after losing weight, and a denim jumpsuit which was once a “must-have item.” Every time we clean the closet, we firmly promise ourselves to be wiser consumers and to make reasonable purchase decisions next time.

THIS IS the cancer ward of a hospital and a patient is lying on his bed. A few months ago, his doctor diagnosed him with lung cancer, as he has been a heavy smoker for over 30 years. All of a sudden, a man wearing a suit enters the sickroom – he is the lawyer of the patient. “In this lawsuit,” the lawyer claims “I will present the detrimental effects of smoking and illegal acts of tobacco companies as the main evidence for arguing that people who have been smoking for years have a higher chance of getting tobacco-related illnesses.” Suddenly, another patient who was lying on the next bed
