DON’T LET ME STOP YOU FROM POISONING YOUR BOSS AND SLEEPING WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND’S SPOUSE

If you’re looking for an excuse to indulge in some of your favorite vices this week, take your cue from a report released by Ivy League professors which confirmed that when you look back on your decisions you are far more likely to resent your virtuous behavior and regret missing out on the juicy moments in life. The authors of this report suggest sleeping in when you can, having that extra rich dessert, phoning in sick for any old reason, and splurging on whatever useless consumer item catches your fancy. After all, when you’re 80 you won’t regret any of it. "Many times, people have a problem in that they over-control themselves - they don't indulge enough and allow themselves to let go, postponing indulgence," explained Dr. Ran Kivetz of the Columbia Business School. "As time passes and we have more perspective, guilt dissipates very quickly, and what you're left with is the feeling of missing out on life. In the long run, people really regret not choosing the vice." (NY Daily News)
