1. Multidisciplinary thinking
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, that is, "from the perspective of a person holding a hammer in his hand, the world looks like a nail." Therefore, 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 refers to the ability to refine our knowledge points and thinking processes in work into models. For example, in business management, the commonly used 5W1H analysis is a thinking method, which is to analyze the selected project, process or operation from the reasons (WHY), object (WHAT), location (WHERE), time (WHEN), Questions were raised for consideration in six aspects: personnel (WHO) and methods (HOW).
3. Systems thinking
Many rational thinking people focus on relationship analysis rather than elemental analysis. A thing is always a collection of two dimensions at the same time, a collection of relationships between internal elements, and a component element of a larger system of itself. 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.
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 leveraged, such as wealth.
5. Unfeeling thinking
Unfeeling thinking is to cultivate a strong sense of self-worth and identity that does not take pleasure in things or feel sad about oneself, and is not affected by the external environment. For example, some people show off and spend extravagantly in their daily lives, but they cannot withstand temptation. However, for more successful people, their sense of value identity comes entirely from within. This type of person has profoundly learned the rules of the world and is able to achieve self-discipline, independent thinking, and a strong sense of purpose.
6. Critical thinking
From the perspective of decision-making management, both right and wrong may be right. Right and wrong are just different positions. 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 have been 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.
