If you only see the roses and ignore the thorns, you are displaying ignorance. First, identify the thorns, and then appreciate the roses. When I mention the roses and thorns, I'm referring to the phrase "rosy picture." Many investment plans, products, and services are marketed in a way that makes them appear very appealing—like melting colourful ice cream, thick yoghurt, or a serene plot of greenery with high returns on investment. When you see these on high-resolution screens and listen to smooth voices through high-quality sound systems, everything seems perfect.

However, before you decide to make a purchase, it’s crucial to play the devil’s advocate regarding your buying behaviour. This will help you distinguish between a genuine seller and a greedy one. Remember, there is no point in regretting your decision after you have lost your hard-earned money. It is better to recognise the thorns first and determine whether it is worth venturing to pluck the roses, despite the potential risks.

For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
