cosmicway 1,333 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 The following psychological phenomenon is known to all the politicians around the world:A man goes to the doctor clutching his tummy. The doctor examines him and says "you are probably in for a burst appendix, so we had better arrange to have that removed in hospital".The man walks out and tells a pub friend about it and the pub friend says "nonsense - what utter claptrap - what you should do is eat a double beefburger and wrap yourself in a hot blanket".Invariably the patient listens to the pub friend and we have his funeral the following day.

What do they do dig a hole and chuck em in?. It's not exactly a psychological phenomenon is it ? if it's anything it's just listening to bad advice.

In essence your story is about someone going against a doctor's advice. Please explain to me how it's a psychological phenomenon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please explain to me how it's a psychological phenomenon Let me change it.You want to travel by sea. QE2 is the best ship but the one who has gained your trust says take "Uncle Nick" some WWI relic that belonges to one of his friends. So you have a hell of a journey and curse the day you were born.Happens every day. The relation to politics is obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway mate that's me done goodnight. '' What is the single most important thing for a company? Is it the building? Is it the stock? Is it the turnover? It's the people, investment in people. My proudest moment here wasn't when I increased profits by 17%, or cut expenditure without losing a single member of staff. No. It was a young Greek guy, first job in the country, hardly spoke a word of English, but he came to me and he went 'Mr Brent, will you be the Godfather to my child?' Didn't happen in the end.We had to let him go. He was rubbish.'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 You can't deny there is a whole host of tricks.The football analogies are many:trick 1 - They wait until the Bayern players, Barcelona players go to the beach for vacations. Then splash headlines "we are the best - we will smash them all".trick 2 - Splash headlines again "Pele signs with (team of your choice)". The next day "battle for Pele". The third day big headlines again but it's a pub landlord from somewhere north of Helsinki-Reykjavik this time.The clever instructor also tries to manipulate your thinking "look this awful woman he says who is the general manager of (government body)". Your task is to follow. If you say "b-b-b-ut she is slim and has a nice sun tan, so what is the problem ?", the instructor frowns visibly.Those and more.
