Don’t feel like I say this enough - after 13+ hours/ average day on the monitor I don’t watch TV that much during weekends. That led to me not good at small talk about TV shows, Whenever people talk to me about anything celebrity or TV related topic I’m like a deer caught in a headlight (I would actually make a pretty good iPhone commercial speaks person, you know the one, I was lost till in the convo. I googled the topic on iphone under the table … lol yeah! Apple call me.)

So that bring up to an rater surprise to a (I thought ) rater boring TV Show I saw recently - Numb3rs. It’s a show about how to use math to solve crime - aka CSI for nerds that don’t like blood and prefer chalks. Might be just that i’m naturally lucky or the show is actually filled with excellent theories (oh dunh it’s a math show) anyways the one eps. i watched, featured a very old, simple but yet mind opening interesting theory.

The Chase Theory, in the show it described as two boats chasing if the chaser need to get ahead then he need to figure out the other boat’s next turn, then change directions to cut ahead.

For some reason it got stuck in my head and have been thinking about this simple theory for a few days. It’s as simple as that, alot of us apply that theory everyday.

Don’t know why I haven’t see it before - if you chase others in the hope to get an upper foot in life then you will always be chasing.

- If a ‘web 2.0′ style came out and you are blindly an expert in designing for that style, then you are the chaser, you are good or some might say ‘ a pro’ at what you do - chasing. Not creating. Just Chasing!

- When you finding yourself often asking people were they buy this where they get that, then goes there to purchase the items, you are a chaser, you don’t have your own style or personality.

- a classic ‘everything i own is better than yours competition’ follows this same pattern. The chase pattern will only been broken if one of the competing party break the rules and go a different direction, then that party has made the short cut to cut ahead.

Take a look at the Image of this Post - of the three dogs. If the Third dog chases the leading dog of each curve and turn, he will never win, to change his position in this chase game, he need to find a short cut during each curve and turn, thus form a pattern … to beat the leading dog, the last one need to first see the pattern, figuring out the lead’s next move, then he can just go directly to the end result thus end the chase!
