Step
one is to become aware of the decisions you have the option of making. To get a
sense of your left and right. A Galton Board is a demonstration of the law of
large numbers. When things can go left or right randomly, most will “regress to
mediocrity”. Some will, through luck (good or bad), go to the extremes. Some of
those extremes will take the credit or blame for the “merit” of decisions taken
by chance. Those extremes will get most of our attention. This is called the “normal
Distribution” because it is such a common way that the random noise we deal
with plays out. When nature doesn’t know, its answer is to do lots of small
things. Three lessons from a Galton Board are (1) take stories of success (and
failure) with a pinch of salt, (2) try be aware of your left and right, and (3)
reduce the size of your trial and error when you are acting in the dark.
