△ 276｜Order of serving and order of appearance
I don’t remember where I saw this statement, and I can’t find its original source if I look back.
Roughly speaking, if you open a restaurant, due to the lack of staff that day, there will be three tables of guests, one table is a couple in love, one table is a middle-aged couple who have been married for many years, and one table is looking out the window. The white-haired old lady in Yujing, which table do you think should be served first?
The answer is “middle-aged couples who have been married for many years” because there is not much to say between them.
This should not be regarded as a “common sense problem”, but a “philosophical problem” of dismantling phenomena. After all, not all couples have no topics to talk about. Of course, I have observed too many couples who play with each other’s mobile phones without looking at each other while eating. Therefore, this is not an experimental conclusion that can withstand sample verification, but it seems to prove the existence of a certain sample.
Another order is the “order” that was discussed every time I participated in various competitions in my student days. I don’t know if there are any classmates around you who are always “bad-mouthing”, that is, whenever they are, they will be bad-mouthing about certain established and unchangeable facts. When they get the first order of appearances, they will say that the opening is the most difficult part of a normal performance, the judges dare not give high marks, the audience cannot enter the performance environment, and the opening program is a green leaf against the red flowers. The higher the order of appearances, the more disadvantageous it seems that “the audience has not yet entered the state”; as a result, when they appear at the midfield, they will feel that “the attention of the audience begins to be uneven, and they cannot maintain a consistent enthusiasm”; that is, the latter. At half-time, they will feel that “the patience of the audience is getting less and less in the second half.” Then there are still two programs left, “The Finale” and “The Finale”. They will feel that the “Finale” is difficult to perform, and it is not something that ordinary programs can hold up; The show is coming to an end, but if the previous show can’t keep the audience unfinished, then “pressing the stage” will become a burden, and the audience will definitely want to end this boring show early.
In short, for this group of “bad-mouthed” people, they can always find the disadvantage of the order of appearances – I also tried to ask them back, which order is the best, and they hesitated for a long time and couldn’t say why. On the contrary, I helped them summarize the answer – the order is not the key, but we have to pick up after a “bad program”, in short, we have to pick up the cold instead of the fire, otherwise our program is not good enough, and it will become a competition. Field jokes.
It’s a pity that I wasn’t a versatile guy when I was young, and I rarely participated in those “grading” competitions, so I didn’t understand the “secret of order”. The only major competitions I have participated in are either the exams prescribed at the same time, or the competitions such as the first-to-go architectural model-compared to the order of appearance, whoever submits the papers and leaves first, but the others are a kind of competition. Mental shock and disintegration of confidence.
The order of serving dishes and the order of appearances seem to be two different things, but in essence, they are both in an idealized state to play the cards in their hands to the extreme.
The order of serving, first to appease those middle-aged couples who have nothing to say and the atmosphere is awkward, and then serve the lovers who are in love, at least they have something to talk about-finally, it is for the gray-haired old lady, her Everything slows down, and we don’t need to disturb her, because of the kind of life that this rain scene remembers. Maybe she was recalling the same rainy day. She was under the awning of the shopping street, waiting for her late lover, her dissatisfaction and temper that she had saved for half an hour, and the women who were hiding from the rain with her one by one. The shame and anger when she was picked up by her boyfriend must be vented on this date. As a result, when he appeared, she appeared with a smile and a sudden sunshine after the rain.
In the order of appearances, let those boring programs go to warm-up first, and wait until the atmosphere of the scene is warm, and then let famous actors play. If it is a competition, it is best to let the “bad program” come before the “good program”, and then use a “bad program” to pick up the “good program”. experience. The finale is reserved for famous stars, and the stage is to let famous stars return to the field, so that the whole field can still reach its peak. This is the skill of selling money, and it is also the fun of the game.
To play a good hand, you have to adjust your strategy in real time according to the opponent’s cards; but to play a bad hand well, you have to predict how the opponent will play, otherwise your bad cards will be seen through sooner or later. To put it horribly, will there really be such a game in reality? Let a good show be sandwiched between bad shows. Although it is said that “win or lose” is pre-determined from the beginning of the competition, it is likely to happen in reality, but the quality of the show is not determined by the competition judges, let alone each Those who participated in the competition thought their show was the best.
It is also possible for couples who are in love to talk about too many topics and find that they have different views on each other; while sitting face to face, middle-aged couples who don’t care about each other finally have their own time, and they want to wait until later. on the phone, so that they can have a strong relationship with the cheating object on their mobile phones; and the old lady who was watching the rain scene, her emotions have tended to collapse, because of the rain, she remembered her husband who passed away the day before yesterday, this restaurant is her The place where she promised her husband that she would come again together – now only she is left to sit in that corner. If so, who should you serve first?
To play a bad hand well, you have to fully predict what your opponent will play. The fun is that when the opponent has a good hand, and his face is full of pride at every step of the way, you naturally know how to punch the old master to death. But the opponent has a bunch of cards in your hand that you can’t even guess, and you yourself will “speak badly” to a bad hand.
Of course, there’s another ability that deserves a separate line of discussion—that is, playing a good hand to a pulp. On the contrary, I feel that this ability, how to play a good hand at every step, to be embattled on all sides, is worth discussing in depth next time.
