Power of Habit

Power of habit is extremely huge. Usually I am not willing to make any changes just because the used to habit.even though some of them are definitely needed.However uncertainly lucky or unlucky,some people never make use of habit's huge power.How does habit occur? It's habit that embodying the things you repeat,or that some concept exisiting in your brains since long time ago.which make you to continue do it or still keep such concept in spite of yourself. Even if you know it is not correct but still insisting on without changes.

 

Most time I feel confused about the old generation's standpat opinions.Although I tried to persuade them to believe the abuse about old opinions through a more scientific proof, they never accept my suggestions.I think which was caused by the habit's effect at the most degree.  Believing that everybody comes through such times:when some faith you are always pursue suddently crashes,some people you are beloved die,you would like not to face the fact,even escape it. The same as the habit to cause. Some small but useless things from our daily life,even in some extent they are no good to ourselves,but people keep it stiffly without listening to other's suggestion.

Here I will cite some examples with the same indication: Habit goes not limited by wits.As me habit is the faith of one potential sense.therefore it's effect on people's judgement comes before wits performs. If making use of this for training one wrong habit for some products or service,how will it be? Certainly 2 preconditions must be needed as below:

1. Product/Service possess absolutely monopolization position

2. A majority people shows faithfulness for product/service which lasts for a long period time.

It's obviously to forecast the result. By this means to build a most advantage's positionfor your product/service and the others afterwards will never exceed. If such habit grows very deeply, the successor will have to imitate this wrong habit through every possible chance. In this situtation the successor's creative ability will biggly been binded.

If consumers base are the most superority for the successor of the interactive appliance,then it's conusmer's habit for successor's most superority. That's why most of successors nearly completely copy the originator habit details for product/service to win the successor's consumer even only a small part of consumers for probation. This just caused by the power of habit,and I was shocked by that powerful effect. I find many buyer including me provide a lot of improvement advice for imitator's product and servie,actually which is nearly perfect to imitate the originator's product/service.

Supposed only listening to the buyer's opinions to improve the part,what will happen?This will bring only the same service. In this situation,what reason can be used for persuaging the buyers to give up the originator's product/service,instead of using the abosulte same service from the imitator? Not some product/service can find such pie like language demand shortage. The times using the speculating in notion to invest has gone after internet foam. The meaning of Web 2.0 is not purpose to creat the 2nd internet foam.Current VC is more clear and serious after internet foam. Simply relying on the hot goods to get profit does not make sense and it's over already.

Under this situation there is only one choice: not listenning to the buyer. Surely at least you satify the buyer's basic request(for some extent it's the most sever habit),otherwise foundamental request for being a imitator cannot be reached. So better creative idea will not be successful. For business,Trying to fight against the buyer's habit will be the foolish behavior which experienced in the actual life with a lot of head bleading examples. Among them the most pitiful matter is OS/2 for IBM system.  I believe no body negative this system is not excellent,but it's final result will be the same with those worst system. That's why Microsolft recognize this deeply to build a software empire.

The only method to change buyer's habit is inquiring the monopolization position. For imitator they cannot get this only listening to buyer opinions. Based on this all successor's success have the same reaon,grubing buyer's more big demand which is not found currently then turn it to monoplise in buyer's quantity. This point must be agreed by all the imitators. The difference between the imitator and the successor is if only listening to buyers but the difference between the successor and the final winner is if change the buyer's habit.
