Divination - buy it or don´t buy it...

Nearly two weeks ago I saw a wonderful, but quite expensive evening dress in a shop in Berlin and immediately I fell in love with it. As I had just the minute bought before already another dress, I felt even blocked to fit it.

But in the following days I couldn´t stop thinking about this wonderful evening dress and fit it for the first time on Monday 15th. I told the shop assistant I will come back to let have a friends look on the next day at it as well before making a decision.

Additionally I did a Divination using Plum Blossom Method on Monday 15th June. And I got hexagram 57 with the 5th line moving:

"Find fortune in persevering. it is advantageous to forget about remorseful events. Although the beginning is not favourable, the endin gis. Before taking action, ponder for three days, Upon taking action, watch the result for three days. Carefully think through your decision before putting it into action. While the outcome may bring difficulties in the beginning, you have not made a mistake. Monitor the progress of your decision." ("The Complete Idiots´Guide to the I Ching", by Elisabeth Moran and Joseph Yu, 2002, page 200")

The story goes on that my friend had no time on Tuesday, so I went to the shop for a second time and fit the dress, sending a picture via mobile/cell to my friend. but did not buy it this day. So on the next day my friend came with me to watch the dress. After long pondering I bought it finally now on Wednesday evening (17th June), after stressing the poor shop assistant for three days. :-) So far no regret, I even found now already the right shoes...

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
