stick to the current-confirmed one or being ungrateful and live a new unpredictable excitement

As the time passed on my teach-and-learn process, some theoretical concepts and approaches did reflected to the reality-days-of-our-lives. It takes 5 times more to recruit new staff than to retain the old @ current one. In other words, the current one cost cheaper yet better maybe. Retention results in cost reduction.

It’s a norm whereby people look for something more or better one. It’s hard to satisfy human wants rather than their needs. They would urge for more once the previous one satisfied; completely or relatively. That's what Abraham Maslow once said. I think.

Retain the current then you'll find it easier to handle things. Stick to the one you has then. The one you've experienced with. The one you'd got along with. The one you know by now many things in life.

Why people bother to try new stuff? New experience? Changing mood? Changing swings? Or they just get up from the wrong side of bed perhaps? Why they would go for those which unpredictable-what's-next-or-how-then? Why they wonder much on how-if? Or what-if? Why is that not-confirmed-what's-next do excite them? To know more or it's just another latest trial and error? "If things doesn't go that well I can always go back". Is that it? Or people had enough with the current and experience new challenges? Or these dude just being ungrateful? For whatever-everything done before? Huh?

Old versus new. Current versus potential. History versus future. Confirmed versus unpredictable. Either you keep it or leave it. So, what's yours?
