Chapter 2 Section 8 The "Illusion of Control" of Buying Lottery Tickets?
You can't control everything. ? ?

A Japanese insurance company conducted an interesting experiment on employees. Without the employees’ prior knowledge, they first issued a batch of lottery tickets with a jackpot of 500 million US dollars, and then sold each lottery ticket to their employees for one dollar. .Half of the lottery tickets are chosen by the buyers themselves, and the other half are chosen by the ticket sellers.On the morning of the day of the lottery draw, the company specially sent investigators to find those who bought the lottery tickets, and told them that their friends wanted to buy lottery tickets, hoping that they could transfer them.So how much will they sell their lottery tickets for? ?

The final result: People who didn't pick their own lottery tickets sold an average of $196 per ticket, while those who picked their own lottery tickets sold an average of $816 per ticket. ?
Mind walk?

This experiment about buying and selling lottery tickets was later heard by Japanese psychologists, who found it very interesting.They use it as an example when explaining the "Illusion of Control" to their own students. ?
The "illusion of control" refers to the fact that people think that they can control everything by their own ability for very accidental things.In fact, this is really just an illusion, because many things are beyond our control. Once we fall into this "illusion of control", we may inevitably face the fate of failure.Therefore, in the face of these very accidental things, why not let go of your attachments and let everything go with the flow, you may get unexpected surprises.
