Generally, people have more successes than failures, more «income» than «expenses». How it can be explained?
Hello Aleks, I can hardly believe that this impression relates to solid data. However since we should / can learn from our failures, one effect might be that we simply avoid things and Situations of failure by sticking to our fields of success. In this way we strengthen our abilities and skills by rewarding ourselfs and avoid failure by staying away from them according to our experiences.
Hello Rüdiger. Thank you for the quick reply and clean-cut explanation.
Regards, Aleksander.
We can also state that the society rewards success thereby creating an incentive, something that is not there with failure. in other words, there is no incentive to fail. The effect of this "incentive" energy should not be undermined.
hi Aleksader,
our brains are perpetually analyzing ''loss vs gain'' situations calculating the likelihood of failure and success ,
they work like bank accountants consistently weighing up and evaluating ''costs and benefits'', hence a higher possibility of gain rather than loss,
and this may even spiral and escalate severely into obsessive greed or megalomania nonetheless.
