90/10 PRINCIPLE THAT RULES OUR LIFE

Are you always upset because fortune doesn't come to you?
It seems you're a full loser, and luck is created not for you?

It's NOT so!

You CAN and MUST be lucky and happy, and it depends ONLY on you.

The principle of 90/10 explains and proves it perfectly well.

This principle, rather famous in psychology, was created by Steven Covey.

Stephen Richards Covey (October 24, 1932 – July 16, 2012) was an American educator, author, businessman, and keynote speaker. His most popular book is The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. His other books include First Things First, Principle-Centered Leadership, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families, The 8th Habit, and The Leader In Me — How Schools and Parents Around the World Are Inspiring Greatness, One Child at a Time. He was a professor at the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University at the time of his death.

He explains this life rule very simple: only 10% of events in our life can't be controled and predicted. Something broke down, a PC caught a virus, a car needs urgent repair etc.

We can't predict these events, can't conrol and rule them, but all the rest IS under our control, and it's 90% of our life experience!

10% just happen, and the rest 90% are effects of our reaction and deeds after these very 10%.

An example:

A family is having a breakfast. Suddenly a kid has spilled coffe on the dad's shirt. He shouts, cries on his wife and the kid, he just becomes crazy. He loses much time to blame his beloved people in carelessness. Then he needs to change the shirt. It takes some more time. The kids doesn't have time for a normal breakfast, he is late for the school bus, so the Dad needs to drive him to school by his car. The road to school takes much time because he is nervous and continues to scold the boy. When at last the boy arrives to school, the Dad looks at the watches: Oh, Shit, he is late to his work! He gets a rebuke from his boss, he loses his premium money.... The end.

But what if they had another morning?

A kid spills coffee. It's just an ordinary thing. It's life. he is just a kid.
It's 10% of Covey's events.

But all the rest are 90% of dad's reaction.

He could not to spend time on quarrels and blaming.
He could say: Don't worry, dear, I'll change a shirt now, have your breakfast, it's ok.
And the boy would eat, then would go to school by a school bus, the dad would go to work by his car and he would come in time.

No problems at all!

Two different scenarios. Both started in the same way, but ended in different ways.

It's all about your reaction to the events in your life.

Of course, you can continue to blame others for your troubles and complain that life does not work out, but does it help to live better?

Just try to use this very simple 90/10 rule and you'll be surprised!

It really works, I've checked;)
