Don't Be Impulsive It's Repulsive: How impulsive decisions affect one's life, and the people around them
The impulsive decision that changed my life, and taught me a great lesson! Once upon a time little David was bored looking for something to do. Since I was so bored anything would appease me. I came upon my sister who was rummaging around under the covers. I, of course, did not think twice, and impulsively jumped right in. After a minute she jumped off, and I didn't realize. While under the covers I dropped off the bed not knowing, and landed right on my left arm, breaking it. Therefore, over the next month I was almost unable to perform even the simplest tasks.
