So it's not human error - it's design error. All about different kinds of design errors in this episode based on an excerpt from the Universal Principles of Design.

We all know speed equals distance by time. But when a sniper calculates the speed of a bullet, they take into account wind speed, temperature, altitude, angle of the shot, and sometimes even, the rotation of the earth! We don't need to know all these for a paintball fight, but in reality, this process - like almost all other processes around us - becomes a black box, and we have to have faith in the sniper, than to have knowledge about the sniping. All this and more in this episode, based on an excerpt from The Decision Book, by Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschäppeler.

"It's not for you" - we are clearly not supposed to say that to anyone. But if you want to succeed, you must. Because in doing so, not only are your showing immense respect for those people who have been the target recipients of your product, but also those who have not - because then clearly you do not wish to waste their time convincing them that it is indeed for them. All this and more, in this episode, as a review of the book, This is Marketing, by Seth Godin.

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win" - not just in your life, but in the life of products as well. This is also exactly why some ideas take strong hold, and become trend-setters; while others bloom briefly before soon disappearing - all this and more in this episode based on an excerpt from The Decision Book, by Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschäppeler.
