Before I begin just in case you are wondering what is law of averages - According to this simple law a streak of good things is soon to get converted into a bad encounter and vice versa.
I was just thinking today how much the law of averages apply in real life. I know this simple law for some long time now. Every time I think of the Australian Cricket Team losing a cricket match observing that it has won for quite a long time, it never loses (I know off late India has beaten them is ODI series finals)
There are instances where I have thought of Federer losing a Tennis match due to the application of this law, he has in fact lost.However the law of averages do prove their existence once in a blue moon.
To be frank I have experienced the law of averages quite a few times in my short span of life.The fact remains I believe in the law.I think the law applies to me because I believe in it and it doesn't happen to Australian Cricket Team,Federer,etc may be because they don't believe in the law
The belief is what makes the thing happen.
Yeah this seems to be true...and everyone else must have experienced this but unkowingly....
ReplyDeleteThx for the comments narayan
ReplyDeletea major assumption to the law, i believe, is that the law applies only when there is an imbalance b/w. efforts and rewards.
ReplyDeleteno matter australia may beat bangladesh 5-0 or federer may beat somdev 6-0, 6-0, 6-0; the next draw b/w. them will see the same result.
but, in a nadal vs. federer game, if nadal wins 3 finals in a row, the law may work in federer's favour. So, its efforts + rewards + potential in this case. hehehe, isn't it?
