You've heard of Moore's and Murphy's Law.

But did you know there are dozens of other laws that can help you better navigate life, business, relationships?

Here are 20+ powerful laws you should know:

Note:

Some of these laws are better known as principles, effects, or razors, but for the sake of simplicity, I call them all laws.

Now let's dive in!

Amara's Law:

• We overestimate technology in the short run and underestimate it in the long run.

Never forget how fast tech moves.

The first cellphone was a foot tall and could only make calls.

An iPhone today fits in your pocket and can do everything a laptop can do.

Alder's Law:

• If something cannot be settled by experiment then it is not worthy of debate.

Don't waste your time arguing if Jordan was better than LeBron or any other similar hypothetical situation that can't be tested.

There are a million better ways to spend your time.

Acton's Law:

• Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Be prepared for people to change once they get a new position.

When someone becomes powerful, you'll find out their true colors and discover if they're actually a good person or were just pretending.

Some lovely quotes from the book, “Alchemy: The Dark Art and Curious Science of Creating Magic in Brands” by Rory Sutherland.

If you read them, you will not be able to stop yourself from buying the book and read it.

A thread!

Here you go

1. The economy is not a machine – it is a highly complex system. Machines don’t allow for magic, but complex systems do. Engineering doesn’t allow for magic. Psychology does.

2. When you demand logic, you pay a hidden price: you destroy magic.

3. The human mind does not run on logic any more than a horse runs on petrol.

4. Human behaviour is an enigma. Learn to crack the code.

5. To avoid stupid mistakes, learn to be slightly silly.

6. More data leads to better decisions. Except when it doesn’t.

7. Being slightly bonkers can be a good negotiating strategy: being rational means you are predictable, and being predictable makes you weak.

8. We could never have evolved to be rational – it makes you weak.

9. If you are wholly predictable, people learn to hack you.

10. The record of science in some ways casts doubt on a scientific approach to problem-solving.

11. Be careful before calling something nonsense.

12. The opposite of a good idea can also be a good idea.

* #Gratitude*
I keep a "memory jar" for each year wherein I write in brief the best moments of my life & lessons learnt. Even a small event which taught me something goes in it .
I strongly believe in " No regrets, only lessons learnt ".
( That's handpainted by me! :) )
+


2/6
Occasionally when I have a rough day or when I am elated , I go through the chits one by one savouring the lessons learnt . It keeps me grounded. Makes me realise I am blessed to have had so many #memories & grown as a person and that life is beautiful !! 😇

Things that happen to us, just happen. It is we who perceive it to be good or bad as per our emotions at play. It is then that practising gratitude becomes of utmost importance for we need to realign our thoughts towards #positivity& #contentment & steer away from negativity.

4/6
Life can be cruel but it is also beautiful if we learn to be thankful.
Are we thankful for the hot food on our plate ? Did we realise we can see the beauty of nature only due to the gift of vision bestowed upon us? Are we thankful each day for having a sound mind?

5/6
Let's stop complaining about all that we don't have and instead focus on all that we are fortunate to have !! For no matter how difficult our life seems for us , let's remember there will ALWAYS be someone who would gladly switch places with us and live our life happily!

Oh my Goodness!!!

I might have a panic attack due to excitement!!

Read this thread to the end...I just had an epiphany and my mind is blown. Actually, more than blown. More like OBLITERATED! This is the thing! This is the thing that will blow the entire thing out of the water!


Has this man been concealing his true identity?

Is this man a supposed 'dead' Seal Team Six soldier?

Witness protection to be kept safe until the right moment when all will be revealed?!

Who ELSE is alive that may have faked their death/gone into witness protection?


Were "golden tickets" inside the envelopes??


Are these "golden tickets" going to lead to their ultimate undoing?

Review crumbs on the board re: 'gold'.
