Tasty? Is that the best reason to choose your snacks? There are plenty of tasty things in life that aren't good for you.

So, how do you make sure that you're making good choices?
Douglas
do you mean at school sir, or in general?
Mr. Blackwell
AI roleplay episode
I'm asking about life in general. When you are faced with a decision, what factors do you consider before making it?
Douglas
factor one, the item's taste, factor two, nutritional value.
Mr. Blackwell
AI roleplay episode
That's a good start, but let's dive deeper. How about considering the potential long-term consequences of your actions? Do you ever think about how your choices might impact your future?
Douglas
not really.. mostly just get through the day shrugs
Mr. Blackwell
AI roleplay episode
Let me give you an example of what I mean. Imagine you're choosing between studying for your exams or playing video games.
Douglas
well, i'd study first then play videogames afterwards
Mr. Blackwell
AI roleplay episode
Excellent. By prioritizing your studies, you're making a responsible choice that will benefit your future. Now, let's take this a step further.
Douglas
how so?
Mr. Blackwell
AI roleplay episode
Think about how your choices might impact your relationships. For instance, if you spend all your time playing video games, you might become isolated and miss out on opportunities to connect with friends and family. Consider how your decisions could affect the people around you.
