(12) – The Law of Usefulness –
(A) A new question about the law ‘The Law of Usefulness’. Which points, whether written or pictorial, could best describe the word usefulness?
(B) The Law of Usefulness is a concept that refers to the practical value or effectiveness of something in a particular context. It is about how well an action, idea or resource helps to achieve an objective or fulfil a need. Here are some possible points that could represent the term ‘usefulness’ in both writing and imagery:
1. usefulness as efficiency
- Imagery: A worker in a workshop using a perfectly tuned tool that gets the job done quickly and accurately. Perhaps a clock can be seen showing the rapidity of the work.
- Meaning: Efficiency is a strong symbol of usefulness. Something useful saves time, resources and effort to achieve the best possible result. It helps to get things done faster and with less effort.
2. Usefulness as a problem solver
- Figurative representation: An engineer repairing a machine or solving a difficult task with a simple yet effective solution. This could successfully fix a problem that previously seemed unsolvable.
- Meaning: Something useful solves a specific problem or fulfils a need. In this case, the image could represent a simple yet ingenious solution that effectively addresses the problems.
3. Usefulness as resource management
- Figurative representation: A farmer who carefully cultivates his soil, selects plants and uses resources such as water and fertiliser efficiently. The image could also show a map or diagram of farm management.
- Meaning: Utility can also be expressed in the efficient use of limited resources. The farmer uses only what is necessary to achieve the best possible result, without unnecessary waste.
4. Utility as versatility
- Figurative representation: A Swiss army knife, which combines a variety of tools in a compact design. Perhaps you see the different functions of the knife in use – from a blade to a screwdriver.
- Meaning: A useful tool or object is often versatile. The versatility of being able to perform several tasks with a single tool is a clear example of usefulness.
5. Usefulness as sustainability
- Figurative representation: A person planting a tree or building an environmentally friendly house to conserve resources and protect nature. It could also show a diagram of recyclable materials or a green energy source.
- Meaning: Usefulness is often closely linked to the ability to use something in the long term without negatively impacting the future. Here, utility is depicted as a sustainable practice that yields long-term benefits for society and the environment.
A person planting a tree or building an environmentally friendly house to conserve resources and protect nature. It could also show a diagram of recyclable materials or a green energy source.
6. Utility in technology
- Figurative representation: A smartphone or computer that performs a variety of functions, from communication to entertainment to productive work. The image could also show an app or software that makes work easier.
- Meaning: Technology is often a prime example of utility. It helps to accomplish everyday tasks efficiently by saving time, enabling communication, and providing access to a wealth of information and services.
7. Utility as accessibility
- Depiction: A barrier-free entrance to a public building or wheelchair access. It may also show people walking or driving through the access without difficulty.
- Meaning: Something useful is also accessible and allows everyone to take advantage of its benefits. In terms of a resource or system, utility means it is accessible to the majority of people or to everyone, regardless of their limitations or needs.
8. Educational utility
- Depiction: A teacher using an interactive learning tool that helps students understand complex topics in a straightforward way. You may see a group of students eagerly taking notes and putting the knowledge into practice.
- Meaning: In education, utility means that the knowledge being taught is not just theoretical, but helps students solve real-world problems and develop practical skills.
9. Utility as improving the quality of life
- Figurative representation: a healthy meal made with fresh ingredients, or a person working out at a gym to promote their health. You might also see a person sitting in nature meditating.
- Meaning: utility contributes to improving the quality of life by helping us feel better, live healthier, or find emotional and mental balance.
10. Usefulness in business
- Figurative representation: A businessperson who runs a successful business by offering products or services that meet real customer needs. It could show a diagram illustrating the success of the business due to the practical value of its offerings.
- Intentional meaning: In business, utility is often considered the key to success. A company is only successful if it offers products or services that genuinely help customers and provide practical benefits.
11. Utility as innovation
- Figurative representation: A creative inventor who develops a new product that solves an everyday problem in a surprising way. You might see the evolution of an idea, from first sketch to finished useful product.
- Intentional meaning: Innovation is often synonymous with utility, as new ideas and technologies are aimed at solving existing problems and improving living standards. Something useful is also often innovative, improving efficiency or quality of life.
Summary:
Each of these representations could express the concept of utility in different ways. Utility can include efficiency, problem solving, versatility, accessibility, and more – always with a focus on delivering practical value and improving people’s lives.
Is there one of these representations that particularly appeals to you or fits well with your understanding of ‘utility’?

Once you have completed your exercise today, enter your findings in the corresponding field. If you still lack experience, simply practice this development step for another day. At the end of the diary: Look forward to your next learning session.
We wish you lots of fun and interesting insights.
Andreas Andiel has summarised the world’s most recognised know-how from the most proven success instructions for personal satisfaction and professional success in the context of the ‘12 natural laws for success’. And it is precisely this elite know-how that forms the basis for every online course in the areas of communication, self-motivation and motivation of others, as well as mental strength.
A few more important details…
Every evening, as the last action of the day, you fill out your personal diary and record your experiences of the day.
- Important: This step of writing is very important for sustainable development. The following content is based on previous experiences! Only by registering your experiences in the training area can you make your progress tangible for yourself.
You can repeat the previous content and also read again and again what you have written down.
At regular intervals (every 7 units), you will take a short interim test with your coach. This helps you to consolidate your learning progress, discuss what you have learned with your coach and thus consolidate your knowledge.
At times, you may think that an exercise has little to do with your profession or your personality. The course is structured didactically. Please do not skip any knowledge or exercises – trust that each step is important.
- For example: Professional athletes always start with a warm-up, constantly work on their fitness, strengthen their technique, and then move on to the game structure and a decisive competition. In professional sports, there is no ‘I already know that’ or ‘I don’t need that’
So complete each session before moving on to the next. Stay in the same session for two or three days if necessary. Train at your own pace.
YOUR NADEUM YEAR COACHING – SOCIAL SKILLS
The ‘12 LAWS OF SUCCESS’ at a glance
(This is your first task. Read it carefully. If you have any questions, please contact your coach at the WhatsApp number: +43 660 7621873) [You will see all laws again and again in all steps. When the text is blue, you are in the current exercise].
No. 01 – The Law of Responsibility –
Taking responsibility means taking advantage of a great opportunity. And without taking responsibility in society, there will be no successful engagement in society. By consciously taking responsibility for my own thinking, I recognise the creative possibilities in my own area and gain personal freedom.
No. 02 – The Law of Learning –
Learning from ‘mistakes’ means improving the path until it leads to the achievement of a goal. Get out of the ‘mistake game’! The main topics in this unit are solution-oriented, constructive thinking and action, positive interaction with one’s own environment and the acceptance of all feedback as an indicator for optimising one’s own path.
No. 03 – The Law of Will –
The difference between dreams, desires and intentions. How to develop a determined willpower. Recognising your own goals, developing a goal plan, determining the necessary effort and learning to develop a strong will for activities for yourself (and others) that will enable you to achieve your goal in the first place.
No. 04 – The Law of Action –
Knowing when to act, what to do, and how to do it is the basis of every project. After completing the planning and decision-making, it is now a matter of moving from talking to action and focusing all energies on the start-up phase.
No. 05 – The Law of Trust –
It is important to trust in yourself. However, it is just as important that society/the environment builds trust in us! One of the most important prerequisites for this is reliability, which in turn is based on personal responsibility and time/self-management.
No. 06 – The law of reality –
It is not always necessary to see everything the way everyone else sees it. However, it is crucial to know how others focus on learning to deal with it and to achieve a more understanding approach to your environment. Empathy, understanding and tolerance are key skills for living together in harmony.
No. 07 – The law of adaptation –
Everyone is on their own at first. The closer you are to someone else, the closer you are to them. And the more you get. Conscious adaptation or non-adaptation must be used in combination with a responsible approach to one’s own environment. By consciously deciding to adapt or not to adapt, the individual gains personal freedom and strength.
No. 08 – The Law of Leadership –
The basics of ‘alpha leadership’ and how to use them correctly. The right balance between ‘leading’ and ‘letting lead’. In this unit, it is also important to learn how to consciously use the instrument of ‘letting lead’ and thus create valuable conditions for teamwork and/or team leadership.
No. 09 – The Law of Balance –
Recognising a balance between ‘giving’ and ‘taking’. The balance of body, mind and soul must be established in order to achieve the same performance. It is also important to consider compensation to third parties. ‘If you want to reap, you must first sow’. Those who are aware that they will always have to pay for the desired person in the form of services, resources, etc. will achieve their goals more easily and be appreciated by their fellow human beings for their efforts.
No. 10 – Law of Growth –
Everything grows through the alternation of push and pause. Those who handle it correctly get the most out of it. Continuous action leads to growth and success. This unit conveys the positive aspects of consistent action, the basic requirements for success in every activity (private or professional).
No. 11 – Law of Defence –
Knowing when, what and how to successfully defend yourself gives you the gentle calm of self-confidence. Develop a ‘we’ thinking in a conflict situation and find solutions together that everyone can support. This unit also provides basic skills for harmonious interaction with your professional, family and social environment.
No. 12 – The Law of Usefulness –
When we give others what they want, they give us everything, according to the value we create for them. Increasing the value means getting more. Knowing one’s own value leads to a strong personality that is able to act calmly and sensibly in all situations and to shape one’s own life.
o
Great, now you have successfully completed this exercise and internalised another step of the 12 laws. With each law, you will become more self-confident, think more sustainably and in a solution-oriented way. Each step will enable you to take the initiative and make conscious decisions in the future. Because who, if not you, determines your path.
The certificate ‘NADEUM YEAR COACHING – SOCIAL SKILLS’ confirms that you have worked on yourself for a year and will approach difficult and challenging problems in a solution-oriented manner on your own responsibility in the future. Future partners will benefit from this. Contracts of any kind will always meet with broad approval.
