Life philosophy on the example of a candy seller who always has high sales Bashny.Net

Human life principles They define his whole life. Following certain rules is always easier to make a choice in any situation. However, if the rules were initially chosen incorrectly, then in the future it will not backfire. More than once.

Today's edition. "Site" They will share a short story from which everyone can draw their own conclusions. Although it may seem that this parable was just cleverly invented by someone, but in fact there is something valuable and instructive.



On the same street in relative proximity to each other were located two pastry shops. These were very similar to each other premises, in each of which the owners themselves traded. The interesting thing is that the children went to one store willingly. The neighbouring store was not liked.



Why did this happen? It’s not about the range, because it was about the same. And both sellers seemed nice and friendly people who are always welcome new visitors.

The problem was that in a “bad” store, when a child came and asked to weigh him, say, 300 grams of candy, he watched the seller put a large handful of candy on the scale, and then took the sweets until the scales showed “300”.



The child all the time looks at the scales and watches as a large pile of his favorite candy inexorably melts, becomes smaller and smaller. The seller honestly "takes" candy, removing them from the scales, but the child is not easier from this, he manages to get upset.

In another store, the seller had the habit of first putting a small handful of sweets on the scale, and then reporting. The child asks for 300 grams, and the seller puts 100 grams on the scale and reports on the candy, two grams each.



Children liked to watch when they were being “reported” and didn’t like watching when they were being “taken away.” Although in the end, they received exactly 300 grams of candy in the first and second store. However, the trick worked, and they more willingly and more often went where they did not take away, but reported.

What is the moral of this parable is that one should always look for ways not to “take away” but to “report.” And from a psychological point of view, it works well, helps not to disappoint a person even when he can not understand the cause of his frustration.



It is also worth admitting that when the seller sends a little more than necessary, sometimes the buyer buys as much as he was offered. Subconsciously, he doesn’t want to be taken away.



This may seem more profitable for the seller. But this approach only works with wealthy buyers, who can always overpay. Otherwise, you will have to take part of the goods from the scale. And we've already told you why it's bad.
