Zipf's Law/Simple file management system/Effectively use credit card

Dear all

Zipf's Law is an empirical law that states that the frequency of any word is inversely proportional to its rank in the frequency table. In other words, the most common word will occur about twice as often as the second most common word, three times as often as the third most common word, and so on. This law has been found to hold true for many different languages, as well as for other types of data, such as the distribution of cities by population.

Here is an example of Zipf's Law in action:

The most common word in the English language is "the". It appears about 7% of the time in a typical text. The second most common word is "of", which appears about 3.5% of the time. The third most common word is "and", which appears about 2.8% of the time. And so on.

Zipf's Law is a powerful tool that can be used to understand the distribution of data. It has been used in a wide variety of fields, including linguistics, economics, and computer science.

**Three Quotes and Phrases I Liked**

"To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence. It requires the discipline to say, "Just because we are good at it—just because we're making money and generating growth—doesn't necessarily mean we can become the best at it." The good-to-great companies understood that doing what you are good at will only make you good; focusing solely on what you can potentially do better than any other organization is the only path to greatness."

"You can do anything, but no everything" — David Allen

A weird thing in life is that everyone strives for a good life because they think it will make them happy. But what actually brings happiness is the contrast between what you have now and whatever you were just doing.
