好方法的特點
Posted on February 20, 2012 by jerodyan
什么是好方法？
我認為，如有兩條滿足，就可視為好方法。一是，應用時心情比較愉快。二是，應用后結果達到預期。
為什么？
作為人類，大腦一部分負責情緒，另一部分負責理性。情緒包括高興、快樂、悲傷、沮喪。理性包括邏輯、判斷、決策。所以一個好的方法也要照顧到這兩個方面。
譬如說，程序設計中的進度條，就是一個好的設計。設想一下，沒有進度的提示，用戶的情緒會出現茫然、焦慮。同時，用戶的理性也處于混亂之中。
漢語中的詞“合情合理”，在評價好方法時，是個恰當的描述。
推廣來看，那么人生中的所有事，也都要從這兩個層面去努力，去設計。最后，如果能滿足人們的這兩個層面的需要，那是再好不過了。

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.
