Five Reflections on Murphy's Law

Murphy's law is not a psychological effect, but a mathematical reasoning. Is it Edward? Edward a Murphy, also known as Murphy's law and Murphy's theorem.

Reflections on Murphy's Law 1

Hearing the title of this book, I think most people may be a little strange. Let me first introduce what Murphy's Law is.

Murphy's Law. Is that Edward? Murphy said: If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of them will lead to disaster, then someone will make this choice, and that person will often be you.

Presumably, many people will have many questions in their lives: Why do things always run counter to our "wishes"? Why do so many things always go against our wishes? Why are there such ridiculous things in life? All these things happen from Murphy's Law. The book Murphy's Law humorously reveals Murphy's Law from many aspects such as workplace, socialization, negotiation, decision-making management, management, wealth, investment, friendship, love, consumption, health, education and life, which can help us avoid the invisible trap of "normality" in life, so as to study and live more efficiently.

Every article in this book is an example and an answer to prove every article's point of view, which makes people feel lively and interesting while reading an academic book. In this book, the article that impressed me the most is Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, also known as "basic hierarchy of needs theory". After reading it? The theory divides needs into five categories, from low to high: physiological needs, security needs, emotional and belonging needs, respect needs and self-realization needs.

Maslow believes that people are animals with dreams, and only by doing competent and interesting work can they meet the needs of self-realization. However, people often try to realize their dreams every day, but in the end they lose themselves and forget their original intention. Why is this? This is because we have been trapped in the present life. If we want to pursue our dreams, it means losing our existing comfortable life, and in the end, once we fail, we will have nothing, and people are afraid of failure. They have forgotten their previous life with nothing.

There are some philosophy of life in this book, which seems to be chaotic, but it is these combinations that make Murphy's Law.

Reflection on Murphy's Law II

Self-confidence, not afraid of authority

Know yourself, know your opponent and influence others. After reading Murphy's Law, I benefited a lot. I talked about how to control life, such as the laws of human nature and interpersonal relationships.

The sentence that impressed me the most is: the villain speaks lightly, while the noble speaks heavily. This is a sentence in Liu Xie's Wen Xin Diao Long in the Southern Dynasties, which shows that if a person is modest, what he says will have no influence; If a person is noble, what he says will have influence.

Self-confidence is a sharp weapon to break through the negative "authority effect". As long as we have confidence, we will not be afraid of authority. Similarly, I thought of the following thought-provoking true story:

A tutor will go for a walk after supper every day. Before taking a walk, he will leave a question for a student. On this day, the students found that the teacher left two questions and finished them quickly. Later, he found a problem in the teacher's book: "How to draw a regular heptagon with a compass and an uncalibrated ruler?" Late at night, he thought hard and finally found the answer. Then the teacher was surprised to see the answer, because the question was difficult. That student is gauss.

Imagine if Gauss had known this was a difficult math problem, he might not have found the answer so quickly. This story tells us not to be afraid of authority, but to be confident! For example, when I was learning to stir-fry, I thought it was not difficult, so I reminded myself to do it seriously and finally made this dish well? Saute beef

Life is about self-confidence, standing up and not being afraid of authority. Authority is not terrible. As long as you work hard and don't think about it, it's so difficult, then give up.

Do things with confidence and don't be afraid of authority.

Reflections on Murphy's Law III

Reading process: I saw a voice recommendation and bought this book online. After the book arrived, I happened to attend a training class in Xiamen. I finished reading this book during the training. The whole book is relatively easy to read, not difficult to read, but the content is very intriguing and needs to be carefully studied. Many of them have helped me a lot, explained many phenomena in life and answered many doubts. Share here.

About this book: Murphy's Law must be known to everyone. Definition of Baidu Encyclopedia: Murphy's Law is a psychological effect, is it Edward? Murphy's law, also known as Murphy's law. The original words of Murphy's law are: if there are two or more ways to do something, and one of them will lead to disaster, then someone will make this choice. The basic content is: if things are likely to go bad, no matter how unlikely it is, it will always happen. But this book is not as simple as introducing Murphy's Law, but introduces 39 classic laws, rules and effects such as Murphy's Law, Locke's Law, Barrel Law and 28-28 Law. It also focuses on how to use them to explain the phenomena in life and guide our work and life. It is suggested that all adults should read it, just as the preface of the book says, "Whether you know these laws or not, they are playing a decisive role." In that case, why not understand and use them as soon as possible?

Some experiences: As mentioned above, this book is similar to the law of life, which can't be fully absorbed in a short time. It is more suitable for reading and reading carefully as a desk book and a pillow book. I just briefly introduce a few laws and regulations that make me feel deeply here, hoping to inspire everyone's thinking.

1. Chain effect: As the saying goes, "Everyone who lives near Zhu Zhechi is black", which is called "chain effect" in psychology. It refers to the mutual influence of people in the process of growth and the influence of environment on people. This paper mainly analyzes the chain effect caused by the negative energy of office complaints, and one sentence touches me very much: "Complainants always feel very comfortable after complaining, and colleagues will definitely stand on the same front with themselves and defend themselves." But in this way, colleagues will only think that you are narrow-minded, irresponsible, narrow-minded and bitter, and will gradually alienate you. "After reading it, I quickly reflected on myself and must avoid becoming that kind of' hate' unconsciously.

2. Projection effect: Projection effect refers to the tendency to attribute one's own characteristics to others. That is, the cognitive impairment of pushing oneself and others. For example, a kind-hearted person will think that others are kind; A person who often calculates others will feel that others are also calculating him, and so on. The most classic case of this effect is Su Dongpo's and Fo Yin's introduction of Buddhism, which is also used in this article, but what really touches me is an application case cited in this article: when companies recruit people, if they want to know the real application purpose of job seekers, they often design such questions. Question 1: What is your main reason for applying for this company? Question 2: What do you think are the main reasons why other candidates come to apply? Obviously, the second question is to examine the psychological projection of job seekers. Job seekers generally speculate on others according to their true inner thoughts, and the answer is often the inner thoughts of job seekers. After reading it, I gasped. If I don't understand this effect in advance, can I ensure that I don't fall into the second "trap"? But then again, expressing your thoughts is not a bad thing. If you want to solve the problem fundamentally, you must improve your moral cultivation. Mastering the method of "defense" is only a temporary solution, not a permanent cure.

3. The prisoner ship theory: This theoretical story comes from18th century. When the American government hired private boats to transport prisoners to the new colony of Australia for a long distance, in order to solve the problem of high death rate of prisoners during the transportation, a new system was implemented, that is, the shipowner's fee was no longer paid according to the number of prisoners transported on board, but was paid according to the number of prisoners actually arriving in Australia when disembarking. There is no doubt that the problem has been solved perfectly, which shows the importance of the system or method. This impressed me the most. In reality, many things are like this. When the foul base is particularly large (including multiple fouls by one person or multiple fouls by one person), it is necessary to consider whether there is a problem with the system and methods, so as to find the crux of the problem and solve the problem fundamentally.

Two explanations: 1. There are many versions of Murphy's law, but the core content is similar, but the number of laws listed or the extended content is different. You can buy any one to read. As we all know, law can be called law because of its universality, and it is often universally applicable. Therefore, we need to constantly expand their connotations, combine our own thinking and summary, and constantly give them new meanings.

Reflections on Murphy's Law 4

Murphy's law? This paper mainly expounds the most representative potential psychological effect in psychology. From the aspects of self-cognition, economic management, etc., the author has learned many experiences that have an impact on modern people's work and life, and explained the seemingly abstruse laws and rules thoroughly and clearly. This is very beneficial for readers to understand Murphy's law correctly. Reading this book is of great significance for expanding people's cognitive psychology, improving people's way of thinking and improving people's life and work patterns. The following are some thoughts I have read and want to share with you:

First, why do we always have some questions in our lives? In fact, this means that we have realized Murphy's law.

1, the road to realize your dream is longer than you think.

Murphy's law tells us that nothing is as simple as it seems, but it is very difficult to realize. Therefore, no matter what you do, no matter how difficult it is, you should stick to it and don't underestimate your ability to live with your dreams. For dreams, it must be precipitation and accumulation, which requires daily improvement.

Your view on starting a business is not as simple as it seems.

To start a business, college students need to accumulate certain social experience and treat their own funds, projects, related abilities, advantages and disadvantages rationally in order to realize their entrepreneurial ideals. Giving up is the biggest failure, including giving up your original intention and career. Therefore, to have entrepreneurial talent, you need entrepreneurial ability, contacts, good business strategy and a little luck.

The more careful you work, the more mistakes you make.

If we are worried that something will happen, it is more likely to happen. Therefore, we should make some plans for our work, separate the important things from the minor ones, and then finish the important things first according to the plan, and then perfect the unimportant things as much as possible. But don't demand perfectionism. We should be good at summing up our own shortcomings, which is good for our future development. We should not avoid our own mistakes, correct our working attitude, and consult our colleagues and leaders humbly, so as to make our work further.

Murphy's Law doesn't tell us that it is difficult to succeed in anything.

1. If you manage your money well, money may not care about you.

Murphy's Law tells us: "Doing everything always takes more time than you expected." It warns us to be patient and stand up to the boredom in the early stage, not only in our daily life, but also in anything. Investment is an art, which requires us to reserve enough professional knowledge, unique vision and objective attitude. Therefore, when we invest, we should be rational, make enough analysis of the market, ensure that we can have enough understanding of the industries we invest in, keep pace with the times, avoid herd mentality, learn to think independently, and promote the so-called success of investment.

You are worried about losing love, and you really lost it.

For love, it is mutual trust. We often say, "once you are unfaithful, you can't bear it a hundred times." The best way to maintain mutual trust is to remain loyal in time, have enough love for the other half, communicate in time, and make two people responsible for each other's relationship and each other's relationship. Don't break up easily

3. Fate is naughty. If you want to go east, it will go west.

Murphy's Law tells people that every solution will cause new problems. Things are always dialectical. Remember Roman? Roland said, "People often think that the preparation stage is a waste of time. Only when the real opportunity comes and they are unable to grasp it, do they realize that being unprepared at ordinary times is a real waste of time. " In fact, being prepared for danger in times of peace should be a compulsory course for everyone. Listen and think quietly, cultivate our independent thinking ability, spread our thinking, and constantly explore and shape our core competitiveness.

3. The key of Murphy's Law is that it explains why small concepts can't be ignored.

1, take strict precautions to avoid small probability error events.

First of all, improve your vigilance, find hidden "accidents" in advance, and nip them in the bud. Secondly, we should make necessary psychological preparations for possible "accidents". Third, since "accidents" are inevitable, we should learn to accept them calmly. In short, find out the "accident" beforehand and face it bravely. Trying to solve "accidents" is our correct attitude towards "accidents".

2, calmly deal with emergencies, and actively transform the "pessimistic Murphy's Law"

Calm down and find out the reasons; Deal with emergencies in an orderly manner; Ask others for help. At the same time, we should adjust our mentality and avoid making choices on impulse; Plan for the future and have a new understanding of your future.

Reflections on Murphy's Law 5

Murphy's Law has proved to be the best explanation for things going wrong from the first day it appeared. It tells us that fallibility is the inherent weakness of human beings. No matter how advanced the technology is, there will be mistakes. The clearer the means of solving problems, the more serious the troubles we face. If you think deeply, accidents and mistakes are inevitable. Life is always accompanied by accidents, consternation and unprepared. It seems that ups and downs are the main theme, but in fact it is an expansion process from 0 to 1. What is the expansion? Zeng Xiaotao's translated version of Murphy's Law spans 32 disciplines, including politics, hierarchy, design, sports and so on. Some are positive and some are too radical. Like most books, different people have different opinions. What is recorded in the book are some inferences from Murphy's Law, and some principles summarized by other great men, which are collected into nearly a thousand articles and called Murphy's Law. This paper only expounds a few impressive relevant empirical laws, which are really attracting jade.

1, Clark's first law: if an outstanding and elderly scientist says it is possible, he is almost certainly right; If he says impossible, he is probably mistaken. Feng? Braun's advice: I learned to say "impossible" very carefully.

2. Mo Jin's motto: If you are not sure, the forecast trend will continue.

3. Olivier's Law: Experience is something you can't get before you need it.

4. Jones' Law: When you repeat the same mistake, experience makes you admit it.

5. Young's Law of Bureaucracy: You can't carve rotten wood.

6. Meade's Law: Everything you meet has been met by everyone you know.

7. Schneider's Law: Nothing can be done overnight.

8. Simpson's Law: Winning or losing is not important until you finally fail.

9. Cape's Law: The best way to regain youth is to repeat the stupid things you have done.

10, Higden's law: correct judgment comes from painful experience; And experience comes from wrong judgment.

In the final analysis, all kinds of famous sayings, academic theories, lessons from the past, etc., and even Murphy's Law are the generalization of the word "experience". It is impossible for people to cross the same two rivers, but everyone has different life experiences, but they can sum up the same empiricism. The word experience is getting closer to the truth, which can't be ignored.

What is experience? Where did it come from? Baidu gives two definitions: one is knowledge or skills gained from many practices, and the other is personal experience. Personally, I think these two meanings are reasonable explanations for the two problems. Some friends will say that my experience comes from what I learned from talking with others, but what others told me was not my own experience. There's nothing wrong with that.

So how to make better use of experience? The answer to this question is somewhat similar to 4.4 billion. It is possible that a person will have nearly ten or a hundred ideas, which will be rejected and reiterated one by one as time goes by, and finally he doesn't know which one is the best. He euphemistically used Hegel's dialectics, so the great man's philosophy was misinterpreted. 1776, a mysterious organization? The Illuminati has been trying to claim that the order of the new world was formulated by Hegel's dialectics, and it has been in vain for centuries. Therefore, only what really suits you is the best choice. The answer to this question is also a pool of water. If a person is not thirsty, it is useless to drink more.

See the light, dance academy. Starting from the actual work, it is also to guard against arrogance and rashness, recognize the advantages and disadvantages, expand experience, blindly complain about system defects, and ignore the importance of experience. It is a self-evaluation that you can't see clearly. The related adjectives are inflation, selfishness and conceit. No one can hide it from himself, except by covering it up. Dance Academy borrows the last article "Life is Beautiful because of Minimalism", so don't be too extreme. The empiricism referred to in this paper is not philosophical empiricism, but just to show that experience and knowledge can not be ignored. The word "experience" in English means "experience", and "ex", as a noun representing ex-boyfriend, is closely related to people. In the face of accidents, we always describe our minds as blank, "bang", sudden stop and so on. This is the performance of people's reaction and experience gap. Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. Simpson's law just illustrates this point. Winning or losing is an experience until you finally fail or succeed.
