Chill out, I’m going to talk about biology today. Just kidding, what I’m going to share with you today is about The Butterfly Effect. I bet many of you never heard of this before. Oh well, maybe you’ve heard of it before, there’s a movie also called The Butterfly Effect. But this is not about the movie, this is a phenomenon about small changes in your life can bring you a huge changes. Ok, here’s the story how The Butterfly Effect was found.

 

About four decades ago, Edward Lorenz found out about this. As a meteorologist, he was doing research about weather patterns. In the process of keying all the data into his computer, something happened. What he saw was that his simulated new weather pattern had diverged dramatically from his previous research.

At first, he thought that it was the computer malfunction, then suddenly it hit him. It was not the computer malfunction, it was the data that he typed into his computer. In the original programming, he used six decimal places, ie .506321, but oin the second run, he rounded the numbers to 3 decimal places, ie .506. He assume the difference would have no huge impact, and it can be neglected, but he was wrong. The slight changes had made a BIG difference. The small changes in input had quickly created an overwhelming different output!

And this phenomenon is called The Butterfly Effect. It means that the tiny changes can contribute to large changes. After that, W. Edwards Deming also come up with this idea. After many years of study, Deming pointed out that in every process there is a beginning and an end. If you focus the initial 15% of that process and get it correct, the following 85% will be in your hands. Therefore as you can see, sometimes with small changes that we took in our lives, it will bring huge results.

Ok, let me give you an example here. Many people wish to become a Millionaire, they plan their plan, take actions, but still many of them could not achieve it. This is because it all started with small actions or changes that they took. To be a Millionaire is a long run, you cannot achieve this in just one or two days. All of your tiny hard work counts everyday when you take little action about it. Maybe I should say it this way, recording all your incomes and expenses (financial data) daily is a very important task if you are serious to be a Millionaire. Yet a lot of people fail to spend this few minutes a day to do so, they spend 1 hour a month not to record their financial, but they spend it paying bills.

Next, according to what Deming told us, the first 15% of any process will decide the rest (85%) of the process. Indeed it is true. Anything we do in our life, the first or initial step is the most important because it will decide the following result. There’s a girl who likes to play tennis, everyday she stand besides the court and see people playing tennis. When those who are playing asking her to join together, she declined, saying that she don’t know how to play. 20 years later, she is still an audience, just because she didn’t took the first step to join and that cost her her favorite sports. Does this story happens on you? And honestly, are you like this?

Well, now you know that what the Butterfly Effect means, so always remember this effect and apply it in your life. It will bring huge changes to you. Take the first step, do not afraid of losing, whatever happen, happens. The worst thing that could happen will not cost your life.
