What would you prefer?

Post by Phikim »

We find Max being offered an opportunity in the expansion of Panama Canal but Sarah, his woman remembers that Max had signed another contract with her father. Max goes on with building up the team that was to bid for Panama Canal expansion. If it were you; would you prefer to go on with the latest contract which is very dangerous in nature and annoying Sarah or you use stick to the initial one; the one he had signed with Sarah's father?

Based on preference..? Panama Canal sounds far more interesting, but having already signed a contract, should probably do the thing for Sarah's father.

Considering the circumstances, I would still choose the Panama Canal contract because if Sarah truly loved Max, she would have supported Max.

I would have preferred to stick with the previous one signed with her father. Because it is all about commitment and sincerity . I would have chosen loyalty before new opportunities

I also agree that it I made a contract with someone, I would keep my word to them.

This gives a twist to the story. If Max did not change his made and remained loyal to his contract, then there would be no expansion story, I guess.

I will go with the initial contract signed with Sarah's father - first to secure my integrity, second to keep my relationship with Sarah my woman.

You have a nice choice and you have a noble reason.

Obviously, the best thing would to be able to complete both contracts at once...but it's impossible to be in two places at once, I guess. If it were me, I would see if there was wiggle room with the contract for Sarah's father (AKA completing it but at a later time) so I could do both projects.

It is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so if I were Max, I'll go with it, too. I just need Sarah and his father understand that.

I would make sure that I completed what I had already committed to before taking something else on. Panama Canal sounds like it would be more intriguing and exciting, but with Max already starting a contract with Sarah's father I believe he needs to honor that instead.

I personally like to stick to my word. It can be harder at times, but also gives me an out in tough situations. "Sorry, I promised this guy over here, first."

Anyway, my character's on the line. Got to stick with what I promised.

It is good to have people trust you even when you are overambitious. To me signed contracts should be accomplished.
