What is Apple's Law?
If you have a bunch of apples, good ones and bad ones, which do you eat first? The wisest answer is to eat the good first and throw away the bad. Because, if you eat the bad first, the good will go bad slowly, so you will never eat the sweet and good apples. This is Apple's law.
Apple's law tells us that people must be good at choosing, and remember: always do the most important thing in your life first.
The story of apple's law.
Dale Carnegie once told a story that the famous psychotherapist Dr. Sandel cured a patient in a very simple way. This patient is an executive of a big company in Chicago. When he first came to Sandel clinic, he was in a state of tension and anxiety, and he was in danger of collapse at any time.
He said that there were three desks in his office, full of reports and documents. It seems that things will never be finished, which drives him crazy. After hearing this, Sandel only gave one suggestion: after returning, clean up all the offices, leaving only the most important documents. The patient did as he said, cleaned the table and handled the important documents left behind one by one. After that, it will be done as soon as the things arrive. There is no longer a mountain of work threatening him, and his health is gradually recovering.
Daily life of apple's law
If you want to eat good apples, the higher the cost, the harder the picking process. So many people settle for the second best and choose rotten apples to eat. Once you choose a bad apple, you choose a life. You will find that there will be more bad and annoying things in the future.
Think carefully, how many opportunities in life are missed by us and how many important things are given up by us. Choosing a school, choosing a major, looking for a job, finding a partner, getting married and having children ... There are different choices at each stage. Finding the most important thing at the moment is a person's greatest ability and ability.
How to change Apple's laws?
If you don't know how to choose, use Jobs' method: "If today is the last day of the rest of your life, what do you decide to do now?"
There are only four things in the world, important and urgent, unimportant and not urgent, unimportant and urgent, important and not urgent.
People don't make mistakes in the first two, but they often make mistakes in the latter two. They are occupied by urgent but unimportant things and ignore important but not urgent things. Knowing Apple's law can avoid this mistake. People must be good at choosing, remember: always do the most important thing in your life first.
