Be careful...

Be careful... I am sure that at one time or another you have heard some version of this statement: "Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it!" It's a warning not to be ignored.

But what of the down side of attaining this sometimes long sought after goal? http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png ACM SIGUCCS Newsletter Association for Computing Machinery

While asking for something, we tend to be aware of only the positive aspects of that item, only the potential immediate gratification. But what of the down side of attaining this sometimes long sought after goal?
