好方法的特点
Posted on February 20, 2012 by jerodyan

什么是好方法？

我认为，如有两条满足，就可视为好方法。一是，应用时心情比较愉快。二是，应用后结果达到预期。

为什么？

作为人类，大脑一部分负责情绪，另一部分负责理性。情绪包括高兴、快乐、悲伤、沮丧。理性包括逻辑、判断、决策。所以一个好的方法也要照顾到这两个方面。

譬如说，程序设计中的进度条，就是一个好的设计。设想一下，没有进度的提示，用户的情绪会出现茫然、焦虑。同时，用户的理性也处于混乱之中。

汉语中的词“合情合理”，在评价好方法时，是个恰当的描述。

推广来看，那么人生中的所有事，也都要从这两个层面去努力，去设计。最后，如果能满足人们的这两个层面的需要，那是再好不过了。

What is a good method that deals with troubles in our life?

In my opinion, a good method must have two properties. One is that we feel comfortable during the formulation and execution of the method. The other is that we can get what we want in the end.

Why are these two properties?

As a human being, one part of our brain handles emotions such as happy, pleasure, sad, depressed. The other part of it takes care of rationality such as logic, decision, judgement. The good method should be satisfied with the two.

For example, the progress bar in the computer interface design is a good one. Perhaps, we can image that users might feel anxious and helpless if there is nothing to display on the screen. And they ask, ” what the hell is going on out during the process?”

Thus, the word “He Qing He Li”, a Chinese idiom interprets perfectly the meaning.

To the extend, endeavor in our life should aim to the two properties. In the other words, it satisfies the need of our brain.
