Paradox of Choice

Came across this while trolling through the TED comments section on a talk about choice and am sure it's true of the most of us, for value is relative...

dad to two sons: Boys, i have got you christmas gifts and I haven't decided who gets what. Since John is the younger of the two, i will let him pick first and then Mark can take what's left.

John: i will have whatever Mark's picking!!!

and in that one smartass line, i believe, is the reduction of every man's motivation to do what he does... to have what the next guy has!!!!!!!!!!!
