The essence of thinking lies in the perspective of seeing the world. Masters often see the world from multiple perspectives and can switch at any time, so their world is clearer, more rigorous and more complicated. Ordinary people usually have only one perspective, just like a frog at the bottom of a well, and the world they see is only the size of the wellhead, which greatly limits the thinking and vision of ordinary people. This gap will inevitably lead to life leaning in different directions.
Only by thinking broadly can the world be broad. Thinking is not innate, but can be acquired through study and training. If you want to change your life, you should learn to train your thinking from this moment on.
The essence of thinking is to look at things and problems from different angles. Standing in the perspective of others is empathy, standing in the opposite perspective of ordinary people is reverse thinking, standing in the unexpected perspective of ordinary people is creative thinking, standing in the structural perspective is structured thinking .........., and the first deep thinking is to be able to switch different perspectives on the same thing or problem. Advanced deep thinking is to look at things and problems from different but interrelated angles. This is what we usually call vision and pattern.
Most people can only look at the problem from their own perspective. This single perspective can really help us to interpret the world, but it also prevents us from discovering other possibilities. The world is complex, and only from a multi-dimensional perspective can we trace the source, see the whole picture of things and find the connection between things. With deep thinking, you can understand the essence of things, find the root of problems and find the logic at the bottom of things, and your world will be clearer, more rigorous, broader, longer-term and more comprehensive.
First of all, all people have two kinds of consciousness, one is instinctive consciousness, which is evolved from us for a long time. It is usually self-centered and moves in the direction that is most beneficial to itself, thus ensuring that it can survive from the cruel and harsh environment. This instinctive consciousness determines that all people have this self-centered thinking.
The second kind of consciousness is called self-consciousness, which needs to be awakened and cultivated the day after tomorrow. Self-awareness is also called metacognition and mindfulness, which means that at this moment you can know what you are doing and thinking, and you can also notice what your brain is paying attention to. It's like an out-of-body experience, and you can see what your body is doing. This awakening of self-awareness can help you change your perspective. People with this awareness also have the ability to think deeply.
Technical thinking can only switch between different perspectives in the same dimension, including logical thinking chain, transposition thinking, process thinking and visual thinking. These ideas can help us solve problems in our daily life.
People have all kinds of thinking abilities, among which logical thinking ability is the most basic and can be improved rapidly. Logical thinking is like a chain. The longer the chain, the deeper the thinking. For example, in chess, some people can only see within two steps, while others can see dozens of steps later. Logical thinking is based on the underlying logical laws of things. Tracing the source or deducing the results through the underlying logic can help us solve problems and make the best choice.
How to improve logical thinking ability?
5why method: this is to help us find the reason through the result, and it is to ask a question repeatedly until we find the root cause of the problem. For example, the car stalled-why stalled-because the engine broke down-why stalled-because it was flooded-because the low parking lot was flooded by heavy rain yesterday.
5so method: This is to find the best choice by deducing the result of causality, and it is the result of constantly asking a phenomenon to explore its possible far-reaching influence in the future. For example, the weather forecast is that it will rain tomorrow-what will happen-commuting will definitely be affected-what will happen-you may be late for work normally-how to avoid being late-and go out 20 minutes earlier than usual.
Thinking in place generally refers to thinking and feeling other people's inner thoughts, and taking this as a logical starting point to launch their own inferences and actions. The core of empathy is to overcome self-centeredness and learn to think from the perspective of others. It seems easy to observe the problem from the perspective of others, but it is actually difficult to do it, because everyone's experience is different. For example, it is difficult for farmers who grew up in rural areas to understand the meaning of luxury goods such as famous watches and luxury cars. For them, these items are not practical at all, and they are expensive, which is not as useful as a tractor.
How to improve empathy?
First, cultivate self-awareness, know what you are doing and thinking, then learn to observe the ways and feelings of others, and finally pull away from yourself and often think about what I would do if I were "him". A more practical model can use six thinking hats.
It is often difficult for the brain to understand abstract things. On the contrary, intuitive and vivid things are easier to understand, and intuitive things are easier to help the brain find the connection between things. Visualization is equivalent to providing the brain with a memory container or a mobile hard disk, which is convenient for the brain to remember and reduce the burden.
A complex thing is often composed of multiple processes and steps, and the great achievement often lies not in a secret book, but in being able to control and optimize the process. Standing in the overall situation, look for the most influential and critical steps, and optimize the overall situation through optimization steps. For example, if you want to attract readers, first of all, you should have an attractive title, second, your beginning can impress readers, and then the content of your article must be valuable and help readers solve problems or learn something. . . . . . This series of steps will ultimately determine whether this book will become a best seller.
Mode thinking is thinking based on technical thinking, but it jumps out of one dimension and can look at problems in two or three dimensions. It can integrate multiple interrelated but different perspectives, and then look at things and problems from a higher and broader perspective. This is more advanced thinking than technical thinking.
Ecological thinking is a vocabulary that has been emerging in recent years. What is ecological thinking? Personal understanding, in business, is to build a self-centered ecological circle, surround customers, provide everything to meet customer needs in this circle, form an internal digestion, and create value as long as customers consume. This can not only create value, but also prevent customers from creating value for their opponents. It's like two ranchers raising sheep, but each grassland has restrictions. In order to avoid disputes, it is stipulated that whoever eats grass crosses the border will have the sheep, so two ranchers built fences on their grassland boundaries to prevent their sheep from crossing the border. Let's take the bank as an example. Why do you do all the financial management, loans, deposits, transfers, foreign exchange, precious metals and souvenirs? Because as long as customers handle business, there is a handling fee, so it can create value for banks.
/kloc-In the mid-8th century, a gold mine was discovered in California in the western United States, which started the gold rush in the United States. In pursuit of wealth, a large number of gold prospectors came to California to look for gold, but only a few people could find it. In the eyes of most gold prospectors, real gold represents wealth, which limits their views on wealth. Levi's has ecological thinking. He thinks these gold diggers are the source of wealth. Why do you say that? Looking for gold in the ecological circle, we must first know where the gold is-secondly, someone must take risks-and then we need to spend money to buy a lot of equipment-and finally we can start looking for gold. This group of obvious wealth is actually this group of gold diggers. They spend all their money on buying equipment, focusing on it like a golden mountain, but the gold diggers only pay attention to gold. Levi's saw this, so Levi's jeans became a household name.
Of course, the closest example to our life is Xiaomi. Before the establishment of Xiaomi mobile phone, the price of the whole mobile phone market remained high, and all mobile phone manufacturers made a lot of money, but they ignored that as a terminal device, the demand for mobile phones could not be that high forever. If demand begins to decline, high profits will disappear, but mobile phone manufacturers only see the immediate benefits and completely ignore the long-term ecological benefits.
Xiaomi's big pattern and advanced consciousness have won the opportunity for Xiaomi. It reduced the price of mobile phones, released the demand, and used the hunger marketing strategy to not only occupy the market, but also expand to the outside world and become the overlord of the Internet battlefield.
People are often used to thinking with linear thinking, and tend to think that the result of a thing is formed by a single factor, while ignoring the whole. For example, in a war, the results will be destroyed, and the credit usually goes to the generals. However, without the intelligence collected by scouts, the strategy of military advisers, and the fighting of soldiers at the bottom, it would be an idiotic dream to rely on one person's strength. Everyone is the decisive factor.
In addition, people usually think that the top candidates in the college entrance examination are excellent because they work hard and ignore the influence of family environment, teacher education level and many other factors.
Using systematic thinking to solve problems has the following steps:
The first step is to draw the dynamic diagram of the system.
The second step is to determine which nodes and flow directions can be adjusted.
The third step is to change the nodes and flow directions that can be adjusted.
Lei Jun said: "Standing at the tuyere, pigs can fly." With the help of trends, we can ride the wind and waves. There is no shortage of capable and powerful people in this era. What is lacking is only those who can gain insight into opportunities and take advantage of them. The greatest strength in this world is the trend, and no matter how strong an individual is, he can't compete with the trend. The beauty of the trend is that everyone's fate fluctuates with the trend, and no one can escape. For example, the stock market is constantly changing from bull to bear. If you take advantage of the bull market, you will enlarge your wealth. When you encounter a bear market, do your best to avoid being destroyed.
For the ever-victorious army, their style is to know that they will win first and then fight this battle; For those troops that often fail, regardless of the willy-nilly, fight first and think about how to win while fighting. If you can't guarantee victory, at least try to minimize the risk.
When fate gives you an opportunity, you can recognize it and seize it; You shouldn't act rashly when fate doesn't give you a chance. Not foolhardy is not standing still, but building your own moat, learning knowledge, skills, exercising or establishing contacts and so on. Accumulate enough energy for yourself, and when the opportunity comes, you can make a blockbuster.
For ordinary people with no background and lack of resources, if they want to counterattack, they must learn to focus, put time, energy and resources on one thing, stick to it and keep working hard. Perhaps this process is slow and inefficient, but slow is fast. Time will make you an expert in a certain field, and then you will have enough ability to fight against your mediocrity.
Why do many people describe their state as indirect complacency and persistent mixed eating and waiting for death?
First of all, the perspective of saying this sentence is self, with emotion. Secondly, although this sentence is self-deprecating, it reflects that people are emotional animals. The common mistake that ordinary people make is to do things with emotions, or to do things with emotions, and to decide whether to work hard according to emotions every day. And the mood is ups and downs, naturally indirectly complacent, continue to eat and die. If you want to solve this situation, you must learn not to be controlled by your emotions. You should remember that actions can solve problems and emotions will only bring trouble. Learn to be sensible and rational. I believe you can be a different person.
How to make eyes look longer?
If you want to see farther and wider, you should look at things and problems from the perspective of the future, or learn to think about the future, then set a clear goal for yourself, move towards this goal, and then constantly correct your route on the way forward. For example, if there is an accident, don't stop thinking about the accident itself, or worry about why it happened. Learn to think about what a car accident will look like, how many people are injured, whether there is any possibility of recovery, and how to avoid it.
It doesn't matter what happened, what matters is what you did. Push your mind from what is now to what will be in the future, and you will stand higher and see farther.
