I. Inspiration within reach

The idea came from an Israeli scholar, Daniel Kahneman, who came up with the idea as an attempt to categorize the way humans make decisions in response to various things. He believes there are three main ways of thinking.

2. Inspiration within reach

3. Inspiration adjustment

Among the three approaches, "Inspiration with reach" means that when an individual thinks about something he or she has experienced, it is a relatively subjective thinking process based on empiricism, which often leads to errors in judgment.

For example, many people think that there are the most words starting with letter "R", but that's not the case, just because it's in common vocabulary.

In addition to this, a common cognitive bias is that when choosing transportation, people tend to assume that airplanes are a less safe and more risky way of transportation than trains, which they are not.

It is just that the impact of the plane crash was so great that it left a deeper impression on people, which deepened people's misunderstanding of the event.

2. Stop the loss when the losses cannot be retrieved, keep the gains when then are within reach

Similarly, it was psychologists Kahneman and Tevsky who came up with this concept, and it is also known as the "Framing effect."

This is to explain how individuals react to different perspectives.

We often come across the term "gambler's psychology," and we know that when a gambler gains first and loses frequently in a casino, what he wants is to raise the stakes and win back what he has lost, but in the end he often loses nothing or loses everything.

This is that when we are in an emotionally impulsive situation, the accuracy of our decision will change based on various factors, and we can no longer make rational judgments.
