ZERO THEORY
Firstly, I would like to say that this theory is based on my observation among my students who often show
a tendency to do it. I really don't know whether this theory has already existed or discussed before by some experts.
I do not mean to be a plagiarist. I just want to share to the others.
What is Zero Theory?
Before I answer this questions, let me bring you into situations so just answer some questions below:
1. Did you feel that your life just like a circle and does not move forward?
2. Did you feel that your life is same with yesterday, today or even the next day?
3. Did you feel that when you do, learn, or study something you do not get any progress after you have done a lot of hard work with it?
4. Did you feel that in the past you have mastered something but when you try to do it now you cannot do well?
If your answer is "yes I did". It means that you are belong to someone who potentially did "ZERO THEORY"
Or if you are a teacher,this situation will give you a clear sample of what I call ZERO THEORY
This is the situation:
Yesterday, you taught your students and they understood what you were discussed that day. Every time you asked them a question, they could answer the question perfectly.
the following day, you come in your class then you start to check your students understanding about the previous materials with the same questions that you gave yesterday.
But you are surprise because they can't answer your questions even the simple one. This condition is I call "ZERO POINT"
So what is ZERO THEORY???
Zero Theory is a situation or a condition that shows our tendency to turn back to the first step (Zero Point) when we do, learn, or study something in our life.
It means that we often do over and over again the same process to get our achievement but it seems we turn back to our first steps (Zero Point) again without any progress as the final result.
So, you will know what happened next. Yes you are right " A FAILURE."
This failure happened because there is no progress with what we have done before. We did not realize it and continue our routines start from the zero point.
Who are potentially did Zero Theory?
These are persons who potentially have a tendency of The Zero Theory:
1. People who do not have motivation
Motivation is a desire to do something in our life. motivation is our energy to move our mind to do something.
When we do not have motivation we will find difficulties in getting our goal or even failing to get our goal.
we will not have any effort to get our goal because we do not have desire to do it.
nevertheless, this condition can stimulate our mind to be the passive one and do not have any struggle to get our goal.
so, if you do not have a motivation in your life you will have a condition what I call Zero point.
2. People who do not have an obvious goal.
An obvious goal in our life is a final value to get our success. A goal is like a map that will show you where you must go to the next places.
It is your best guide in your life. People who do not have a goal in their life is like a blind in a room with full of traps in it.
That is why in this life, we often doubt or do not know what to do next. We have a tendency to turn back to the same place or the same condition.
It means that we often turn back to the zero point in our life but we did not realize it. therefore, we will not get our target and goal in our life if we do not an obvious goal.
3. People who always do nothing and have negative opinion in their life .
Many people in this world want to be succeed but they only thing about it without any effort to get it.I said' "they just walk in the same place while the other run to move forward to get their goal."
in the other word, you are "THE LOSER". But, there is other reason why we are potentially did zero theory. It is about our mindset. We often set up our mind into the negative one.
We often afraid to take an action to get our goal because we often thing a big failure as the final result for every single effort that we do in our life.
So, it is the biggest mistake in our life. The negative opinion is like a great wall that will stop your way to get your goal. in addition, if we often have negative opinion in our life,
we will never start to do something and we only stand in the same place just like before. It means you are in the Zero Point area.
