【Sea and River Night Talks】A Strange Mathematical Formula

At the company meeting, the general manager wrote these four problems on the blackboard: 2+2=4； 4+4=8 ； 8+8=16 ； 9+9=20. The employees said one after another, “You made a mistake on one question.” ” The general manager turned around and said slowly, “Yes, as everyone can see clearly, this question was solved incorrectly.” But I got three questions right earlier on; why didn’t anyone praise me, when they only noticed the one question I got wrong? ” It’s the same with people too: if you treat them well ten times, they might forget it; but if something goes wrong just once, they might erase all those good deeds. This is the principle of humanity: 100-1=0.
That’s right; I encountered something similar recently. Someone’s kindness is forgotten the moment things don’t go their way~~~
Everyone will notice that one thing that stands out； For example, in a class where most children perform at an average level, with only one child performing exceptionally well, that child will receive more attention.
That’s absolutely right; if one thing is wrong, everything else counts as zero.
Let’s try the reverse one. Some time ago we conducted a safety exam for all employees; to pass, one had to score 100 out of 100 on the test, as even a score of 99 was not sufficient. Because the boss said safety must be 100%. If you can’t get 100, you’ll lose 100 points. Haha. Uh, this is also way too cold. :lol
If the amount is small, the mistake won’t cause much loss; but if it’s a large amount, how much loss will there be? If you are a doctor and save 100 people, does that mean you can kill a few?
