Thinking ability is the core of various self-study abilities. The level of thinking ability directly affects the effect of self-study. So how can we establish the correct way of thinking? Here is what I have compiled for you, let’s take a look Take a look!

Ways to establish the correct way of thinking

There is a successful formula: enthusiasm × way of thinking × ability = work results. Among them, enthusiasm is the first and the driving force for all future work results. The way of thinking is secondary, because it determines which field of work you will devote your talents and energy to, and which path you take. Ability comes third, and work ability actually comes with experience. Work enthusiasm is relatively emotional and has an inseparable relationship with your personal growth process. The way of thinking ultimately depends on a person's personal qualities, most of which are learned and learned. Therefore, establishing a correct way of thinking has become an important means for us to form individual differences. There are many corresponding ways of thinking, so it is difficult to generally say which way of thinking is correct and which is excellent. But I believe the following points will be helpful:

First, learn to look at problems from an overall perspective. Look at the problem from the perspective of the department and the enterprise. You know, the height at which we look at problems will determine our level. If a technician only cares about the technical indicators of the product he develops, then he can only do some practical work on technical development; and once he can start to consider how much profit this product can bring to the company, and whether it can be compared with other products in the company, When the product forms a good system, what contribution it can make to the company's long-term development, and how to solve the problem of supporting the company's equipment and workers' production skills, etc., he stands at the level of a company's senior manager. In our world, which is divided by meticulous division of labor, there is an urgent need for people who can work from a holistic perspective. From an individual perspective, they are the best subordinates. From a departmental perspective, they are the glue of work. Persistence in looking at problems from this perspective will definitely be of great help for newcomers to quickly move into leadership positions.

The second point is to learn to look at problems with a leader’s way of thinking. There may be a unique way of thinking about the same thing, but the right way of thinking is not necessarily the same. The ultimate way of thinking in doing things in an enterprise is generally the way of thinking of our bosses. If what we do does not meet the taste of our bosses, they will often ask us to make adjustments. At that time, we will have to put in more work and spend more. time. Therefore, we must pay attention to observe and learn the boss's way of thinking to reduce friction with him.

Article 3: Have a profit and cost concept. The vast majority of people in the unit use whether their work meets the requirements set by others as the standard for judging their work. They have a thick Bible in their hearts, and the number of pages is constantly being added every day. They are busy observing and memorizing every day. These standards, and then implement these standards with trepidation. If one day we can jump out of these standards and look back, we will find that the standards we accept are often very simple in summary. As it is said in martial arts novels, there is no way to win without a move. Many standards often boil down to the interpretation and extension of those few principles. The concepts of cost and profit must be an important part of these principles. An enterprise is an organization that aims to make profits, and all its actions ultimately revolve around this problem. Therefore, as long as we professionals persist in solving problems based on this concept, there will be no major deviations in our work.

Article 4: Learn to unite everyone to do work. This is the most popular management concept in modern times. As a community composed of many people, the success of modern enterprises depends on how to mobilize more people to work together. Robinson-style lone heroes have lost their living space in the steel forest of modern society. No matter how ruthless a person is, he is at best a lone wolf, and if he can learn to be a wolf king, his value is equivalent to that of a wolf pack. Therefore, we must learn to see the contribution and importance of others to our work, and learn to mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of others.

Let’s use the most common analogy of making money. A person’s ability is limited. Even if he uses all his time every day, it only lasts for 24 hours. Even if the value he creates every day is 10 times that of others, he will still be limited. It’s just the value created by 30 people. And if he can lead 60 people to make money for him, and each person gives him half of the income, he can get the same income. When he leads 120 people, the income will be doubled... There is no way to make money like this. Extreme. This actually embodies the connotation of leadership: directing others to complete work. The difference between being a wage earner and being a boss lies in whether you are doing things alone or whether everyone is doing things for you. Once you learn to unite everyone to work together, the day will not be far away when you lead everyone to work together.

How to establish a correct thinking model

Thinking mode is generally called a way of thinking, which is a specific way for people to carry out rational understanding, that is, a combination of various thinking elements, especially thinking methods. Way.

Constructing a correct thinking model requires three major changes:

1. From closed thinking to open thinking

2. From single thinking to diversity Thinking

3. From conservative thinking to creative thinking

Success requires the correct way of thinking

To achieve success, people must first have the correct way of thinking, otherwise No matter how busy you are, you are still busy in vain. Many people always blame failure on external factors and blame others, but they don't think it is because there is something wrong with their own way of thinking. The twelve ways of thinking compiled by the author of this article are worth reading again and again.

1. Multidisciplinary Thinking

In this book, investment guru Charlie Munger believes that everything is interconnected. For a specific problem, if you only use one way of thinking to analyze and think, you will only get a narrow result, just like the American proverb, "To the person with a hammer in his hand, the world looks like a "A nail" Of course, many times this way of thinking is more helpful for us to solve a certain problem quickly.

However, when Munger evaluates a company, he will place it in a larger business ecosystem and use a series of interdisciplinary double-thinking frameworks to conduct a more comprehensive evaluation of it. Analysis and interpretation. He feels that this broad-spectrum analysis method can allow people to better understand how many factors related to candidate investment companies affect and relate to each other. Sometimes this understanding reveals something more subtle, factors that combine to create a massive "lollapalooza effect" for better or worse. When several models are combined, two, three or more forces*** Both act in the same direction, similar to the resultant force in mechanics.

In this book, the author often uses disciplinary thinking to analyze a business problem: mathematics, psychology, biology, and microeconomics. When we think about and analyze problems, we must also analyze them comprehensively and multi-disciplinary to avoid being affected by the limitations of thinking.

2. Model Thinking

Model thinking is the ability to refine our knowledge points and thinking processes in processing work into models. For example, there is a very popular course in university courses called "Mathematical Modeling", which is to build mathematical models of problems encountered in life for quantitative analysis and interpretation.

When encountering psychological problems, you can establish a thinking model of "who did what at what time and where why".

The SWOT model analysis method commonly used in enterprises: S strengths are advantages, Wweaknesses are weaknesses, O opportunities are opportunities, and Tthreats are threats. Using this method, we can conduct a comprehensive, systematic, and accurate study of the situation in which the research object is located, and then formulate corresponding development strategies, plans, and countermeasures based on the research results. According to the complete concept of enterprise competitive strategy, strategy should be an organic combination between what an enterprise "can do", that is, the organization's strengths and weaknesses, and "what it may do," that is, the opportunities and threats of the environment.

Another example: In business management, the commonly used 5W1H analysis method is also called the six-height analysis method. It is a thinking method and can also be said to be a creative technique. It is to think about the selected project, process or operation from six aspects: reason WHY, object WHAT, location WHERE, time WHEN, person WHO, method HOW.

3. System thinking

Great people all focus on relationship analysis rather than element analysis. A thing is always in two dimensions at the same time ***, the relationship between internal elements ***, and its own constituent elements in a larger system. Systematic thinking means recognizing the relationship between these two dimensions. Consider the totality of the interconnections and interactions between systems and elements, systems and environments. It has the characteristics of integrity, structure, three-dimensionality, dynamics and comprehensiveness.

4. Leverage thinking

Many people like to use Archimedes’ famous saying: “Give me a fulcrum and I can move the earth!” to describe the leverage effect. In the eyes of talented people, levers can not only move the earth. All information, matter and energy can be manipulated using levers.

For example: real estate investment in wealth investment is a very simple leverage effect. As long as you pay a down payment leverage of 30, you can leverage a 100 real estate. It is even popular to achieve 0 down payment through rules. In the end, Gain added value to your assets.

Many cores of various business models lie in the use of leverage. For example, although Lei Jun has always emphasized Internet thinking, the valuation of 10 billion does not fall from the sky. It is a huge lever in itself. Buffett emphasized that he cannot understand the technology industry because of the huge leverage this industry possesses. There are a bunch of magical companies with price-to-earning ratios as high as 100 or more.

5. Unfeeling thinking

That is, cultivating a strong sense of self-worth and identity that does not take pleasure in things, does not take sorrow in oneself, and does not depend on the external environment.

Many times when we live in the world, we always care too much about others’ evaluation of ourselves. Any behavioral motivation is to satisfy our weak self-esteem. This is a manifestation of a low sense of self-identity. In our daily lives, we show off, spend extravagantly, cannot withstand temptation, and indulge in superficial tastes all illustrate this point. However, for some relatively successful people, their sense of value identity comes entirely from within. For example, when Li Ka-shing was young, in order to steal his studies, he eliminated all interference. His inner values ??were high and strong, and he was not influenced by any outside world. They believed that all Effort and dedication are all for your future self. This type of person has profoundly learned the execution rules of the world and is able to achieve self-discipline, independent thinking, and a strong sense of purpose.

6. Value thinking

When looking at things, never get angry at the facts, but think about the value of the event itself. As the saying goes: Children see right and wrong, adults see benefits. Don't make value judgments blindly.

For example, those who know the news media will know that the original intention of many media is to attract attention and attract attention. So there is no need to be filled with righteous indignation over some eye-catching news events.

Another example is the example of the evaluation methodology mentioned by Zhihu’s talented people “mining copper”: use two-dimensional thinking to consider, one is the income value, and what this event will bring to me. Cognitive, emotional, material, and physical benefits can all be included. The second is the half-life of the benefit, which is the rate at which the benefit decays over time. Events with a long half-life will have a longer lasting impact on us. We should focus more on doing things with high return value and long half-life and low return value and long half-life. The judgment of return value and half-life comes from our inner judgment of our own value identity. For example, in the eyes of talented people, there is only one type of valuable job-hopping: if your ability has been improved to a considerable level, you will find a larger platform or be poached.

7. Progressive thinking

The theory proposed by the American Noel Tichy. The three areas in the picture can be expressed as the level of the things you want to learn:

The innermost circle, the "comfort zone", is knowledge that is not difficult for you to learn or things that you are accustomed to, and you can be in a comfortable mental state. The middle circle, the "learning area", is a certain challenge for me, so I feel uncomfortable, but it is not too uncomfortable. The outermost circle is the "panic zone". If you have too many affairs or knowledge beyond your ability, you will feel seriously uncomfortable psychologically, which may lead to collapse and even giving up on learning.

In the book "Treat Time as a Friend", the author proposes that why we don't make progress is because we habitually look at problems outside of the "comfort zone", because only in this way can we gain self-esteem recognition. . However, in fact, for a person, the most ideal state is to be in the "learning zone" and learn things that are appropriately challenging. After a period of time, the "learning zone" will slowly turn into the "comfort zone". "Comfort Zone" It gets bigger and bigger, and part of the "panic zone" will correspondingly turn into a "learning zone".

8. Critical Thinking

Since this year, I have been reading psychology books and have been deeply impressed by this way of thinking. Judging from the perspective of decision-making management, both right and wrong may be right. Right and wrong are just different perspectives. When we look at something, we often do not see it first and then define it, but define it first and then see it. Due to the loopholes in our thinking, we are influenced by the media and the outside world and have too many prejudices.

To understand things objectively, we must have critical thinking to analyze problems. The two books "Learn to Ask Questions" and "Poor Charlie's Almanac" put forward many classic fallacies and prejudices, which are very helpful for us to analyze problems optimistically and comprehensively.

9. Insightful thinking into the hidden world

There is a famous "iceberg theory" in psychology. What things present to us is often only a very small part, the largest part. Usually covered up. We must learn to develop insight into the hidden world. For example, when we read, we often only see the surface of some articles, while talented people will think about problems in the "author mode": the background of writing, the motivation for writing, and the means of writing. , writing strategies, etc. Once we master this skill, we will achieve twice the result with half the effort in the learning process.

10. "Political Interpersonal" Thinking

We all sometimes suffer from social phobia. In addition to confiding in friends with whom we know everything, we are always timid in front of strangers. Cowardly.

In fact, we are all in a political network. The content of the conversation is often secondary, and the political relationships among the crowd are most important. Sometimes, everyone needs to wear a mask, and the ritual of conversation outweighs its practical effect. Language is a tool to establish political relationships. When we ask for help, it is a political relationship. The conversation between father and son is a political relationship. The degree of intimacy between men and women is also a political relationship.

11. "Expectation management" thinking in interpersonal relationships

In interpersonal relationships, there is such a phenomenon: if a ruffian suddenly does a good thing, he will quickly establish a good relationship. impression. However, some comrades usually perform extremely well and use their best skills, but the leadership's requirements are getting higher and higher. Suddenly, they cannot satisfy the leadership, and negative evaluations will follow. The incompetence trap in psychology. The same is true in relationships. A good man usually has a perfect image, but if he suddenly makes a mistake, he will be infamy for forever. Some scumbag men suddenly do one or two things to improve their image, and they will receive rave reviews.

What this requires us to do in daily life is to learn to hold back our ultimate moves, moderately suppress our desire for expression and vanity, and take action at critical moments.

12. Threshold self-control thinking

Threshold: the minimum *** intensity required to release a behavioral response.

For example, in the last century, we Chinese people had a very low trigger value for desire. When we saw a woman wearing a cheongsam on the street, we would have wild thoughts. However, in the current Internet age, educational films from island countries are overflowing. , turning on the reproductive organs that fill the computer screen, everyone finds it boring. In fact, it is because our threshold for physical desire has increased.

Another example is that many single rotten girls are addicted to Korean idol dramas and cannot extricate themselves. As time goes by, the brain’s subconscious standards for mate selection increase. In the end, they end up alone until they grow old, still struggling to pursue good looks. A long-legged oppa who has a high IQ will also take care of people.

What this phenomenon tells us is to learn a certain degree of abstinence, self-control and self-discipline.
