Thinking mode indeed determines a person's life. If the poor do not change their thinking mode, they will always be poor. If any difficulties are solved, it is a change in thinking mode. Any difficult problem is caused by the thinking mode.
Learning the thinking patterns of outstanding people, understanding your own thinking patterns, and replacing bad thinking patterns with good thinking patterns are the fundamental ways to change your life. If the thinking patterns essentially do not change, then it is very difficult to It’s easy to repeat past mistakes. It is not easy to change your thinking mode, but it is certainly not that difficult. If you continue step by step and use appropriate methods, you will definitely continue to optimize.
(Actually, we talk about the difference between two people. In the past, many people could not explain the difference in detail. In fact, it is essentially the difference between growth mindset and fixed mindset. For children, cultivating a growth mindset is more important than anything else. )
People with a growth mindset believe that failure means failure if they do not grow or do their best.
(Ignore useful negative feedback. Feel that the success of others is important to them. You have created a threat.) (You should pay special attention to these, especially after you "succeed". There are so many people with fixed thinking around you. There is no doubt that they have this type of thinking. So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, The best choice is to keep a low profile, do what you want, and not show off your edge. Including many people who were once very good, it is best to fall into disrepair. If the core is willing to be trapped by this fixed mindset))
Our brains, like our muscles, are highly malleable. The "synapses" responsible for transmitting signals between neurons in the brain continue to change based on environmental stimulation and learning experience. Every time new information is acquired, new synapses are formed, and when existing knowledge is reviewed, synaptic connections become stronger.
Scientific research shows that the brain's plasticity can last a lifetime
However, many people also live a repetitive life, using the same vision and thinking, doing the same things over and over again every day. These people often have a contradiction inside. On the one hand, they are tired of this kind of repetition and long for change and growth. On the other hand, they are full of resistance to change. As long as they encounter challenges, they will immediately escape back to their comfort zone. (This is true for many people around me)
"Groundhog Day"
The different thinking models of the two can explain most of the different behaviors and behaviors of the outstanding and the mediocre in reality. result.
Don’t dwell on temporary and past successes and failures, take a long-term view, do the right things in the right direction, keep doing it, and success will follow.
Many people have two kinds of thinking at the same time, so we must identify and continuously strengthen the growth thinking, and constantly optimize and replace the fixed thinking.
Growth mindset can be cultivated and improved through extensive, repeated, and continuous practice. At the same time, it should be noted that once a fixed mindset is developed, it will not be easily changed, and it requires individuals to have a strong willingness to change. And be willing to spend time and energy to constantly remind yourself to make corrections before you can completely correct yourself into a growth mindset. Therefore, it is important to establish and develop the correct mindset from the beginning. (This is also the core reason for the final differences between children)
Business learning and practice are an important part of cultivating and consolidating a growth mindset.
If you are interested in business, you can maintain your life and your interest! . !
The best way to change the rules is to become familiar with the existing rules, win in these rules, and become the person who makes the rules. (To a certain extent, no matter how bleak my position is now, as long as I can continue to maintain a growth mindset, I will continue to get better)
(The so-called difficulty of turning over from the bottom is not the same as that of rural college students The core factor of waiting is also based on this way of thinking)

There are always a bunch of gods in this world. Characters exist.
Just like the sentence I read: "Human beings are like fish in a long river of history. Only a few fish jump out of the river and see the laws of the world, but they cannot change it. When any of those fish jump ashore, Evolve, change the direction of the river, that way you can change the rules."
Recently I have been constantly searching for things in my heart, and at the same time, I have been constantly reflecting on and denying some of my own thinking patterns, and trying to reconstruct myself. This article serves as a short summary of the bottom-level thinking during this period, because there is still a long way to go in this road of growth.
To survive in this society, according to Maslow's theoretical needs, there are five needs. In the actual process of struggle, wealth is often set as the primary goal, including yourself. Then understand and research how to realize your dream of financial freedom. In the process, I discovered that the traditional thinking of "wealth = money" is completely wrong, even very stupid. Money has never been equal to wealth, it is only a substitute or measure of wealth. If money is used to represent wealth, then wealth must be shrinking. The correct thinking should be "wealth = assets", and the assets themselves can continue to produce value-added effects.
In the process of continuous learning and understanding of talented people, I found that the biggest difference between talented people and ordinary people is the gap in thinking. I have always vaguely felt that the limitations of my thinking are greatly limited by my entire growth environment. The breadth and depth of my entire thinking are not enough. It feels like someone is standing outside the boundaries of the observable universe, silently watching the things on the earth. Just like you, I feel extremely insignificant. Want to experience this feeling? Recommend the video "Intuitively Feeling the Order of Magnitude Video", or play "The Scale Game of the Universe". When you look at yourself with this perspective, the whole world is different.
Here, write down some of the brilliant thinking that I have learned and continue to practice and learn:
1. Top-level thinking - setting rules
Use the popular language of the Internet Generally speaking, diaosi are people who die miserably within the rules. Just like physics, whether in the macro world or the micro world, it has its own system, that is, the existence of rules. But when diaosi grew up, no one taught them how to create top-level rules, because the design of top-level rules was often in the hands of the elite. In some countries, the rules set have the power of life and death. You can die if you want to die and live if you want to live. Therefore, countless people live and die intoxicated by this.
Excellent people are often those who have mastered certain rules. In reality, no matter what methodology they use, they are always invincible, so they are often called awesome people. From the perspective of molecular biology, after these people master the information, their matter and energy continue to expand, forming a positive cycle. When this level of understanding cannot be broken through, there is a huge and unfillable gap between the master and the loser. Because in the environment where we grew up, we always obeyed the rules set by others, and did not have the patience to think about the "why" behind it. Those fish that had thought about it became fish that jumped out of the river and grew up in an instant. wing.
Li Ka-shing was asked in an interview how he manages his huge business empire. He said that he mostly does one thing, which is to ask questions and ask how the various current changes relate to his group. relation. For example, what impact will the emergence of new media have on his media group? Then a bunch of people under him went to study this issue. Through the methodology of asking why, you can constantly touch the rules, comply with the rules, and even change the rules.
In summary, the various books recommended by great people are divided into several categories: natural science (the rules of how the world works), social science (the rules within human organizations), various psychology (one’s own thinking) loopholes), historical categories (rule effects), and financial categories (methodology).
2. Leverage thinking - amplification effect
Many people like to use Archimedes' famous saying: "Give me a fulcrum and I can move the earth!" to describe leverage. effect. In the eyes of talented people, levers can not only move the earth. All information, matter and energy can be leveraged.
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, Xiaomi’s valuation of 10 billion did 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.
For example, information such as Diao Ye’s online articles. Every time Diao Ye publishes an article, all Internet technology reports the next day will be reports on Diao Ye’s articles. Various analytical articles and even critical articles emerge in endlessly. Diao Ye doesn’t spend a penny, and online media helps him advertise for free.
In the process of wealth creation, the use of leverage is even more essential. The so-called diaosi always make money by selling their labor force, and furthermore the bosses make profits through organizational leverage. Finally, the capitalists make money entirely through financial leverage. The masters' control and use of leverage are amazing.
3. Don’t be happy with things, don’t be sad with yourself - have a strong sense of self-worth and identity, and don’t depend on the external environment.
A great person does not live in the present, he has everything Your efforts or contributions are for your future self.
I read a lot of inspirational articles, and the one that struck me the most was the story of a boss who went to work part-time in order to secretly learn the rules of the industry, similar to the story of Li Ka-shing who secretly learned about plastic flowers and went to work part-time. Looking through various stories about outstanding people, one of the core points is that their sense of self-worth does not come from the so-called boss's praise or other people's appreciation, but from the heart of their hearts that constantly transcends.
Diaosi’s recognition of self-worth comes entirely or mostly from the outside. For example, if you have money, you can show off to others, feel that you are very great, and even satisfy your sense of self-worth through luxurious consumption of materials. . For talented people, money is just a reward for their bright thinking.
If a person cannot form his own value identity, he will not be able to form a stable thinking system and cannot withstand temptation. As a result, he will only dabble in many things and it will be difficult to grow into a great person. On the other hand, self-worth and identity can also be extended to a person's self-discipline, independent thinking ability, strong sense of purpose, etc.
The formation of this sense of self-worth requires understanding and learning of the operating rules of the entire world. For example, if you understand the concept of wealth, you can naturally develop a sense of wealth security without having to worry about the risk of unemployment all day long.
Take the example of the evaluation methodology of things mentioned by Zhihu’s outstanding people “mining copper”: use two-dimensional thinking to consider, one is the income value, the amount of income 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 income 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.
PS: There has never been a savior in this world.
4. Counter-intuitive thinking - what we know is actually wrong
This thinking comes from the article about "chemical osmosis" in the Science Squirrel Club.
One of the most awesome thinking systems is the hierarchical structure of natural science: various fields in natural science do not advance hand in hand, and some of them are the natural foundation of others.
The most important hierarchical system is as follows:
Physics → Chemistry → Biology → Medicine, Anthropology, Psychology → Social Sciences, the earlier the more basic, each science may begin to be understood by humans. When you are independent, but if you dig deeper, you will always find that you need a lot of knowledge from the previous layer to achieve a breakthrough in understanding.
The simplest counterexample to counter-intuitive thinking is: "Heavier objects fall faster." This is an intuition that is both simple and wrong. On the other hand, the flaw of intuition is that it is innate to human beings. Just like the improved description of human biases in "Poor Charlie's Almanac", these biases actually stem from human beings' innate intuition.
The reason why a good person is called a good person is that his or her ideological realm continues to improve and expand, and he understands that the original invincible thinking is only within certain limits, which is the difference between classical physics and modern physics. Likewise, when standing at the pinnacle of classical physics, it does not mean that modern physics does not exist.
I am still walking on the path of growth of negation of negation, and encourage me together.
