[Learn some psychology every day] Crocodile effect

Crocodile effect: stop loss in time, and break it.

The crocodile effect means that when a crocodile bites your foot, it will bite your hands and feet if you want to push it away with your hand. The longer you wait, the more parts you will eventually be bitten.

Therefore, the most important thing in this case is to sacrifice one's own feet in order to save one's life in time, which is often applied to economics as the meaning of timely stop loss.

But unfortunately, human nature is inherently flawed in life, and sometimes it will inevitably affect people's operations. Even if the front has been constantly winning, if you accidentally suffer losses, the top 99 profits will be buried inside. The central meaning of crocodile effect is to stop loss in time.

In life, we often encounter the crocodile principle. Many people will subconsciously "put their hands into the crocodile's mouth" and cannot give up or stop the behavior that has lost its value and will bring greater losses.

If you are a businessman, your business is in trouble recently and you need to give up one business to have more money to complete another task that will make you profitable, then what would you choose?

Orwell Greenshaw, a senior consultant at McKinsey, said: We may not know what the right path is, but don't go too far on the wrong path. This sentence can be said to be a classic summary of the crocodile principle. In fact, the greatest efficiency of life lies in: having the courage to change what can be changed, having the measure to accept what cannot be changed, and having the wisdom to distinguish the difference between the two.

A strong man's broken arm is the best way to deal with the crocodile principle. In life, there are bound to be some difficulties. At this time, we must give up something decisively to achieve the overall situation.

Giving up is not necessarily an image. It is necessary to have the courage to point out and admit mistakes. Don't go further and further on the wrong road, it will only make you lose more and more. When you make a mistake, stop immediately and don't make excuses, expectations, reasons or take any other actions, otherwise you will get into more troubles and mistakes, leading to more serious consequences.

In life, sometimes bad things will come unexpectedly, which will make us unprepared, in a hurry and even cause serious losses. At this time, it is the wisest choice to give up local interests and protect the overall interests in time. The wise man said, "The two evils are balanced to take the lighter, and the two benefits are weighted to take the heavier." Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is also the essence of giving up.

The crocodile effect is also suitable for a person's mode of getting along in love. When you feel uncomfortable in love, this love does not bring you too many sweet experiences, but makes you fall into endless struggle. At that time, you were like being bitten by a crocodile, and your spirit was imprisoned. In this state, should we consider giving up?

Adults should be rational in every relationship. You know, what you get is what you lose; Behind the loss is another gain.

When you are in love with your partner and you are not happy at all, you should stop the loss in time.

Only stop loss in time can avoid more losses. If you invest a lot in each other and pay a lot of costs, you still can't be together. At that time, even if we were separated, we would fall into the torture of "sunk cost", which was hard to extricate ourselves and unforgettable. Giving up a relationship that doesn't belong to you is to let you embrace the one that is more meaningful and suitable for you in the next days.
