Theories


Life teaches one many lessons. Based on this a person forms certain thumbrules, laws n theories. Theories are often confused to be of scientific nature only ... but in reality it can be on anything. So here I am writin some of my theories ... believe it or not .. they are evident in everyone's life. Its only a matter of whether u realize it or not.

Theory of Approximation

"One in face of little knowledge shall approximate the expected knowledge."

Application: Imagine ur self in a exam. You are supposed to draw a diagram (circuit or machine, watever) and as expected u have seen it .. but cant draw it well. So u draw it approximately ... didnt get it? You draw the outline in such a way that anyone who doesnt want to comphrehend it in detail which just assume you are correct (i.e. the teacher here).
I did it once in the Basic electronics paper .. i knew just one circuit diagram n i drew it in three questions. And believe me when i say that all three got full marks because all circuit diagram on the outside look the same.

Theory of convenience

"One shall assume according to his/her convenience when in a tight spot."

Application: You are stuck with a dilemma. Whether to copy in a exam or not. Assume conveniently that you are smart enough not to get caught and then do the needful.Theory of distractionOne shall in a position of embrassment do something to divert attention to something less embrassing or somebody else.Application: Politicians are my living inspiration. Whenever they do a scam and are caught, they expose somebody else's scam to divert attention.

Theory of Expectations !!

"An achiever in the face of compliments feels the pressure in the form of expectations !"

The best example that I can quote here is Sachin Tendulkar. He is a achiever without doubt. So people compliment/praise/idolise him. He feels that he owes the performances to the people so he feels the pressure - the pressure of expectations - everytime he takes guard to face a cricket ball. And lesser mortals are no different !
