Struck by the Shiny object Syndrome

It's the story of every common person, we get distracted by the things that cross our way so easily. Go to a mall for watching a movie and end up in a clothing store, trying dresses. Go to the kitchen to drink water, but get distracted by the sight of a packet of choco chips. And then surfing video on YouTube for watching a music  video, but then going through all those useless links given. This is the ' Shiny object Syndrome ' (SoS) which is common.

Okay , now a message that I read on my phone two days back , take a look ,

"A keen immigrant Indian lad applied for a salesman's job at London 's premier downtown department store. In fact, it was the biggest store in the world - you could get anything.
The day was long and arduous for the young man, but he got through it.
And finally 6:00 PM came around.
The boss duly fronted up and asked, "How many sales did you make today?"
"Sir, Just ONE sale." said the young salesman.
"Only one sale?" blurted the boss.
"No! No! You see here, most of my staff make 20 or 30 sales a day.
"If you want to keep this job, you'd better be doing better than just one sale.
By the way "How much was the sale worth?"
= 93300534.00 pounds" said the young man.
"What"," How did you manage that?" asked the flabbergasted boss.
"Well", said the salesman, "This man came in and I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium hook and finally a really large hook.
Then I sell him new fishing rod and some fishing gear.
Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast.
So I told him he'd be needing a boat, so I took him down to the boat department and sold him that twenty-foot schooner with the twin engines.
Then he said his Volkswagen probably wouldn't be able to pull it, so I took him to our automotive department and sold him that new Deluxe 4X4 Blazer.
I then asked him where he'll be staying, and since he had not decided, arranged it.
Then the guy said, while we're at it, I should throw in about $100 worth of groceries and two cases of beer.
The boss took two steps back and asked in astonishment, "You sold all that to a guy who came in for a fish hook!"
"No" answered the salesman,"he came in to buy a headache relief tablet and I said to him, "Sir, fishing is best remedy for headache." "

This is what happens , when we fall prey to the "Shiny object Syndrome ". So what are the cons, are there any? It kind of helps us discover new things maybe.

Just after the pre boards of class XII were over, I went to Kwality Walls with Muskan, just to eat Maggi. I needed refreshment badly after so much time of "getting locked up ". They had recently opened up a clothing store which was internally attached to it. As expected, like any other girl would do, we went to the shop too, till our Maggi was made. Though the dresses were not that attractive, we still thought of buying a one. But when you're a boarder, you learn to resist such things. So this syndrome could not act upon us. But still those dresses acted like shiny objects, attracting any customer who comes to eat ice-cream to that shop. 
(that Kwality Walls, of sector-10 is going to close now  )

Big companies keep a post for a person which keeps check on SoS as it decreases the productivity of it's employees, creates hurdles in it's success. Even for us it's a waste of time, we loose focus and make the important things keep waiting. A waste of money as well. I hope I could ever keep a track on this. It occurs so frequently, and we remain unaware of it everytime. And now when I know this and think about it, it seems as if it happens every day. But being a hostler for two years, I have at least learnt to save money and manage time. But then I say to myself, everything happens for a reason.
