Introduction The Rule of 5 is a simple yet powerful concept popularized by Jack Canfield, the celebrated author of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series and a renowned motivational speaker. This concept revolves around the idea that you can turn your dreams into reality by taking five small, consistent actions each day toward your goals. This approach helps to break down your ambitions into manageable steps, making the journey more achievable and sustainable. In this blog, we'll explore the Rule of 5, how it works, and how you can implement it in your life to achieve your goals and dreams. Understanding the Rule of 5 The Rule of 5 is based on the principle of consistent effort. The idea is to choose five specific actions every day that will move you closer to your goal, and then execute them without fail. The actions you choose can be simple and small, but they should be directly related to your ultimate objective. By doing these five actions consistently, you will see g
If you go to the area of great poverty then you will find roads in bad condition, walls with graffiti, economy is in gutter, broken windows and higher crime rates. The motivation of residents is also not too high because they think nothing good can happen to them. But if we set things in order and show a visual display of discipline then things start improving. This shows that there is an underpinning relationship between behavior and environmental conditions.
The theory of broken windows was introduced by sociologists George Kelling and James Wilson in the 1980s. This theory explains that when low-level crimes like breaking windows of cars/buildings are ignored then more serious crimes start happening. There is also a case study regarding this theory. Phillip Zimbardo a psychologist from Stanford University had done a social experiment in 1969. He placed one car in a very poor area and another in a very posh area. The car which was placed in a poor area was placed without a license plate, open doors and open bonnet. That car was robbed within 10 minutes. On the other hand, the second car was placed like any other car with the bonnet down and intact license plate. The car remained untouched for more than seven days. Then Zimbardo smashed the window of the car. The car got robbed within a few hours.
Similarly, we can observe this theory in action when one person throws garbage at any particular corner of the road. If that garbage has not been removed then any other person will not think twice and throw his garbage also there. This initiates a vicious cycle and shortly there will be a heap of garbage. Similarly during studies, if we ignore 1 assignment and teacher do not ask about it then we stop doing other assignments also. We must not accept any single inconsistency in our work as it will keep us away from perfection. If there is a problem with the design of our product then adding one more problem will never create an objection to anyone.
Let us see how in the 1990s New York Police under Police commissioner William Bratton was able to decrease law and order violations. He had assigned officers to catch turnstile jumpers and started arresting people for minor wrongdoings. When he started focusing on small crimes then he saw a drastic reduction in major crimes like murders. When Mr. Bratton resigned from his position in 1994, crime rates were down almost 40%. In our business also if we start neglecting small debts and do not repay timely then we start taking other loans also and move towards the destruction of our business.
