The Probability Theory of Success and Wealth - Overcoming Failure

Greetings to everyone on Hive and the Cent Community.

It's @skyehi and I'm back once again with a captivating and inspiring blog that teaches us the wisdom of success and finance.

I developed a nice theory of success using a scenario I created which I'm proud to dedicate to the Hive Community and the rest of the world.

This theory seeks to explain the true path that almost guarantees the success and wealth of anybody from anywhere in the world.

I would want you to use your imagination in order for this story to be very clear to you. Now imagine success in life to be one blue ball that you need to find in a bucket that is flooded with only red balls.

Let's say you're asked to play a game where you need to dip your hand into a bucket filled with 10 balls, nine of them being red and only one blue ball. Now you're supposed to do this with your eyes closed. You're asked to dip your hand into the bucket with a blind fold and pick out the one blue ball.

Successfully picking out the blue ball will earn you a price of let's say $100,000. Now here's the catch, you're supposed to find the blue ball under 30 seconds. The balls have been shuffled together and there's a high probability that the blue ball is at the bottom of the bucket.

Now the timer starts and you start the game.

There are two ways this game can go. Of course you have as many tries as you possibly can as long as the 30 Seconds is not up yet.

When you pick a ball, the bucket gets closed and you can remove the blind fold and check to see whether you won or not. If you didn't win you can either quit the game or try again with the blindfold back on as long as the 30 seconds is not up yet.

Let's assume two players, A and B play the game

Player A starts the game with all eagerness and excitement because of the possibility of winning the game. He dips his hand in the bucket to remove a ball, brings it out and it was a red ball.

He stands there super disappointed and depressed. He becomes really sad and almost upset because he's worried the time is almost up. He then gives up on the next try out of disappointment and discouragement.

---

Now player B starts his turn, dips his hand into the bucket, removes the ball and it's a red ball. What player B does next is to quickly throw the red ball aside, put on his blind fold and dips his hand back into the bucket as quickly as possible.

He removes another ball super quickly, takes off the blind fold and it's still red. He repeats the same move by throwing the ball away as fast as possible and dips his hand in the bucket again. He repeats this for the next 20 seconds until he picked out all nine balls.

Ine thing we can all agree on is that his next try is definitely going to be a success. He dips his hand back into the bucket and picks out the last ball which obviously turns out to be the blue ball.

Player B succeeds and wins the $100,000 price money.

Now you may sit back and think of Player A as a complete idiot because he could have tried again until he got the blue ball. However this is how most people behave in life.

They start out as Player A did, with so much excitement because of the possibility of making it into financial success and wealth. They make their first attempt and it blows right in their faces.

With so much disappointment, discouragement and depression they give up on trying again. Now do you see how funny it looks to actually quit on your dreams and give up.

The blindfold over the players is analogous to our ignorance and our inability to predict life. The red balls being more than the blue balls represent how hard it is to succeed and how easy it is to fail in life.

The mix up of the balls represent the fact that life is not equal or fair with everyone. Some people may make the first attempt and pick the blue ball because it was shuffled randomly. That's how life really is.

Some people can make the first attempt at something and actually succeed and others will have to give it 1000 tries before getting the same success results.

Even though it looked silly to you that player A actually gave up trying again, that's how most people behave. They give up because they failed the first time or a few times in the beginning.

The 30 seconds time given represents the fact that life is short and so we need to utilize the time we have effectively and become very productive.

Now, in this scenario, everyone would have probably behaved naturally like Player B by picking as many red balls as they can until there's only the one blue ball left.

That's how Success is actually like. As you fail and learn from your mistakes, you stand a higher chance of succeeding in the next try. As you keep failing and learning there will come a time when you have so learned the system, your next try is an assured success.

As player B picks a red Ball, he quickly throws it away and focuses on his next attempt. This is how we should handle failure. Throw the disappoinment in a trash can and focus on your next try.

This is how you should always think when trying to succeed at something. Never let failure stop you from trying again. Keep trying and keep learning from your mistakes until your next attempt becomes a guaranteed success.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post guys. This is what I call the probability theory of success. As you try to succeed and you fail in your first attempts, learn from your mistakes and try again. Your next try after learning from your mistakes will be at a higher probability of success. I'll encourage everyone to learn from this theory.

This is basically how I think about life so I never give up when I fail because I understand that failure is just a learning process to success.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post.
