In his book "Shortcut for a Better Life", the writer Ziad Rayess mentions: Many projects are launched, whether personal initiatives or organizations and general entities, but many of them never end up growing because they haven’t fulfilled certain factors of success.
Unlocking Success: The Power of Critical Mass in Personal and Organizational Growth
There are other projects that falter even though they’ve fulfilled many factors of success. This is because they haven’t reached the critical mass. This is applicable in many areas of daily life. Here are some examples:
1. In personal interactions:
Let’s say someone owes you something; you want to ask for help from someone, perhaps for a humanitarian cause; you want a debt repaid; there is a project to reconcile two parties; or you’re selling or marketing an item or product, etc. You’ve asked several times with no results. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you won’t succeed on the third, fifth, or tenth time. The other party’s feelings may change, perhaps because they have new convictions, because they begin to sympathize with you, because you stir up feelings of embarrassment and discomfort due to not responding, etc. Accumulated and repeated attempts generate something called “critical mass” with a certain party that leads to their response. Scientists describe critical mass as the transformation of quantity into quality.
Note that the first attempts are not a waste of time but rather an important part of building critical mass, whether in terms of emotions, convictions, or the other party’s general conditions. We must not give up; we must keep trying, thinking positively about these attempts, so that not reaching critical mass right away doesn’t get in the way of the success we want.
In the relationship between the worshipper and God, I think that keeping ritual prayers, asking for forgiveness, repenting, and performing supplicatory prayers often are all important factors in evoking God’s good blessings, protection, and care. The opposite makes you part of the principles of critical mass. We ask God for His blessings.
2. Charities and public work:
Building a system and having it succeed in the community requires elements of trust, loyalty, and support. These foundations can only be achieved through abundant giving, loyalty, transparency, and attempts to reach critical mass with members of your community. This will make you immune to slander and give you enough supporters and protectors for your organization.
3. Critical mass in cosmic laws:
Societies, entities, or large international organizations may collapse overnight due to oppression and injustice that exceeds their critical mass. Their fate becomes collapse, failure, and downfall.
So, the idea of critical mass has many applications in daily life. One of the most important factors in achieving it in a positive sense is being patient and persistent, not despairing, and creating a positive viewpoint within ourselves. We should also spread the idea of collective work.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the concept of critical mass plays a crucial role in the success of personal initiatives, organizations, and entities. By understanding the factors that contribute to critical mass, individuals and groups can work towards achieving their goals and overcoming obstacles. As Rayess points out, the key to success is patience, persistence, and a positive attitude, as well as building trust, loyalty, and support within communities. By spreading the idea of collective work and striving towards critical mass, we can create a better life for ourselves and those around us.
