I get that from my students a lot - "But it's what I WANT!" to which my response usually is, "Then DON'T want it, because it's bad! Want something GOOD instead." That usually gets a laugh out of them, because I'm not as tough as that answer makes me sound. But it gets them thinking along other lines...
