Many people love a good buffet as it offers a wide selection of food, and allows them to eat all they can. That aside, you will be surprised by the things you can learn by going for a buffet.
Here are 5 life lessons learned from eating buffet.
#1 Don’t be greedy; it is important to know what you want. In a buffet, there are so many things to choose from, and it is very tempting to go for everything. We need to know what we want, and focus on getting there.
The same logic applies in life. There are plenty of temptations out there. There will always be someone/something better out there; be it a prettier girl, or a better job. Instead of chasing after something that does not exist, we must cherish the important things in life.
#2 Good buffets come at a price, the same goes for everything in life. There is no such thing as a cheap and good buffet. Period. In life, not everything cheap is bad and not everything expensive is good. However, as a general rule, good things come at a price. And by price, I mean working hard for what you want.
#3 Know what you need to do, you are here for a reason. When you are having the buffet, don’t feel guilty about indulging in good food. Eat first, worry later. You can always exercise to burn off the calories after the dinner. In life, things always happen for a reason. You are meant to do something at each stage of your life. Stop looking elsewhere, do what you have to do, and move on to the next level.
#4 Buffets show you the ugly side of humans. If you ever want to learn more about someone, bring them to a buffet.
#5 Taking a break is absolutely necessary for the well-being of our stomachs & minds. Round 1: eat and take a break. Round 2: eat and go to the washroom. Round 3: eat, eat and eat. There are techniques on how to eat at a buffet (more on that in another post), but the point is, it is important to know when to take a break. In life, everyone should take a break once in a while. Go for a short weekend getaway, spend some time with your loved ones. Taking a break helps to keep us alive.

Nice analogy! (:
Having so many choices can sometimes be a headache too! And I’m starting to dislike buffets – especially when I always end up over-eating too easily ):
Nevertheless, it’s good to indulge and let loose at times (:
Hahahah you’re so full of crap, Brad. I <3 it! (:
I totally concede to what u said. When I was younger I ate all I can in a buffet and still never tot I ate my share. Now I chose to try things I never tried before and always in small pieces. Scrape the common ones and those that are worthy I will go back and take more. Eat till u are contented then stop. No point killing ur tummy when its just food right?
love this post, so true & a great reminder about what’s impt. p/s: Regarding point #4.. I’m a total monster at the buffet. makes one reconsider whether or not i’m actually a female LOL

(I love this part becos i always feel guilty as I eat!! or rather after I eat:P.. time to think as theres always time to eat and time to exercise!)

Never thought of buffet to link to life before. New knowledge.
i am NOT so sure about your take of Buffet
BUT i like to share some doctor said;
People who are piling up their plates on the
buffet table are like slowly digging up their
own grave…
We are what we eat, why don’t we REMIND ourselves
kindly when we are indulging our buffet..
Just visit the local hospics, reality will sink
in..Take care !
