Today we'll be talking about a phrase in japan,
"tada yori takai mono wa nai"
What it means?
There are 2 meanings;
1. Nothing is costlier than something that is given free of charge.
2. There is no such thing as free lunch.
Confused? Yeah so do I when i first read it.
Think deep.
From the book 48 laws of power;
Law 40
Despise the Free Lunch
What is offered for free is dangerous – it usually involves either a trick or a hidden obligation. What has worth is worth paying for. By paying your own way you stay clear of gratitude, guilt, and deceit. It is also often wise to pay the full price – there is no cutting corners with excellence. Be lavish with your money and keep it circulating, for generosity is a sign and a magnet for power.
When I was younger, my parents always been invited to a free lunch or dinner. I remember there's this one day we all went to lunch at a hotel in jl.Duta where there were penguins(i was very hype that time, dapat jumpa penguin kot =p). Food great, awesome place and it's free. Years later i realized that the lunch is so that my parents will invest in a travelling stuff.
There's always something behind this free lunch or dinner.
And susah nak reject bila u know, u dah makan. (unless u're that strong)
So, it's better to think first before u accept any free lunch.
Dalam Bahasa Melayu mungkin it means something like this,
"Ada udang di sebalik batu."
So,
Be very wary.
