1. What is the binocular theory?
? The theory of "two eyes" is a basic rule of Go. One eye is dead, two eyes are alive, and only three or more eyes can live more freely.
There are two core points:
1, "Two 25% Theories" by cartoonist Adams. The general idea is that if a person has two specialties and has the top 25% level in each field, when the two specialties are superimposed, they will have magical advantages and may make great achievements.
In a rapidly changing ecology, our survival strategy should evolve from drilling one eye to managing two eyes.
? Second, what does the "two eyes theory" inspire me?
1. It's really hard to do without asking one of your skills to reach the top level. But we should pursue two skills and enter the top 25% level respectively.
2. Use the "two eyes theory" to observe and analyze. For example, Lao Xing, who is already a national champion in the field of fighting, is a stunning look. If he has a second eye, the superposition of the two eyes is even worse. For example, Guo Jiwei has two eyes, one is the leader within the system, and the other is the innovation in the academic field, so he can be the dean of the Southwest Hospital, run marathons all over the country, and write monographs such as The New War Curse and Reproductive Rights.
? 3. Examine yourself with the theory of "two eyes". The first eye is forming. This look is "cultivation". At present, practice already exists. The next important step is to turn practice into theory, write papers, give lectures and publish books as soon as possible. Secondly, a second eye should be formed as soon as possible. The second eye's field choice tends to be "TZ soldier expert", "thousand-character expert" or "minimal problem expert".
Third, the cognitive list of "Two Eyes Theory"
1, Lao Yu (Yu) used the "two eyes" theory of Go to project it into business and life, and told an interesting truth. This idea is worth learning. For example, the story of the tortoise and rabbit race is projected into the field of war; Projected into the field of philosophy with the theory of Tai Chi Yin and Yang; Yang's life tragedy is projected into the management field.
2. The essence of chess is the philosophy of struggle, and the essence of Go is the philosophy of survival. Weiqi won because I live in a bigger area than you, and I won. Instead of chess, if I kill you all or die, I win.
3. Life, business and career are the same as Go. At the beginning, the space is very vast, full of vitality and opportunities everywhere, but as you get older, you find that the environment is more and more restrictive to you and the living space is getting smaller and smaller. If you don't have two living eyes, you will be exhausted in the end.
4. Unique space. Not everyone has endless space for you to explore, so you don't need your own unique space. Go is a real eye; Personally, it is a gift and specialty; As far as enterprises are concerned, this is a unique advantage.
5, it is difficult to live at a glance. Why do you have to have two real eyes to live? In Go, the rest of you are surrounded, with only one eye position, and you are out of breath when you go. In business, if you have only one exclusive advantage, whether it is the change of environment or the strength of competitors, this advantage may collapse instantly. When you have two exclusive advantages, you have room for activities in the process of survival. As the saying goes, the east is not bright and the west is bright, and the dynamic advantage of combining eyes greatly improves the probability of survival.
? 6, 10 1 Airborne Division has a famous saying: paratroopers are doomed to be surrounded.
7, many successful companies, behind their ostentatious ideas, often have a second eye that leads but does not send, but the secret actually exists.
? For example, Tesla SUV has a unique gull-wing door design, that is, when the two doors in the back seat are opened, they open like wings instead of pulling to both sides like other cars. For this design, elon musk, the founder of Tesla, did not hesitate to postpone the sales of this car. Why? Because elon musk deeply understands that Tesla has two eyes: a brand new electric car and a luxury car. Tesla is not only competing with other electric vehicles, but also with luxury cars such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
? Almost all big companies, big cities and successful people have "two eyes", that is, two unique skills and advantages.
For example, Amazon has one eye on e-commerce and the other eye on cloud computing.
Another example is JD.COM, where one eye is e-commerce and the other eye is express delivery.
Another example is Apple, one eye is hardware, and the other eye is their unique software system iOS.
It is not only a company, but also a successful city.
For example, Silicon Valley is Stanford University plus a large number of startups; Shenzhen is a big company with youth spirit.
? The most typical one is Las Vegas, which is famous for Las Vegas, but its real vitality comes from its being the most famous exhibition city in the world.
? The same is true for a person. If you want to survive, you have to have a second eye and a cross-border advantage. For example, David Beckham really plays well, but his value would be much worse if there were no painstakingly managed commercial brands.
? 9. The cartoonist Adams' "Two 25% Theories". The general idea is that if a person has two specialties and has the top 25% level in each field, when the two specialties are superimposed, they will have magical advantages and may make great achievements.
Adams said that if you want to achieve outstanding achievements, you probably have two choices.
The first choice is that you practice one of your skills to the best in the world. This is very difficult, few people can do it.
? The second option is that you can choose two skills and practice each skill to the top 25% in the world.
? Adams himself, for example, is not the best painter in the world, but his painting skills can reach the top 25%. His level of writing jokes is not the best in the world, but he can basically reach the top 25%. Now he combines these two skills to draw Dilbert cartoons, which few people can do.
? So Adams's advice to young people is that no matter what field you really like, you should try to practice in the top 25% of this field, and then you should add another field. If you don't know what fields to add, practice speaking. Adams said that as long as individuals are willing to practice hard, they will be able to practice well.
? Suppose you are the top 25% programmer of a company, but you are also the top 25% speaker, and you can do and speak, then you are naturally the leader of other programmers, and your career development prospects may even be better than those of top programmers.
10, one eye is dead and two eyes are alive, and three or more eyes can live more freely.
? For example, Luo Fatty has three eyes. At first glance, people who are interested in learning knowledge, but certainly not the most knowledgeable, can rank among the top 25% of China people. The second eye, strong interest in expression, can probably rank in the top 25%. The third eye, entrepreneurship. Among university teachers, there are many people who have knowledge and can express themselves, but among entrepreneurs, there are even fewer people who have these two qualities. Therefore, Luo Pang can create a new industry of knowledge reporting and knowledge service.
? 1 1, knowledge reporting and knowledge service, is a new industry. How to cultivate the ability of knowledge reporting? This problem can be studied. For example, open a column: Knowledge Report to Luo Pangxue.
12, why do people have two eyes? Is to observe this three-dimensional world more accurately. Adults' eyes are about 6.5 cm apart. When observing an object, two eyes look at the object from different positions and angles, and image on the retina at the same time, so as to obtain a three-dimensional sense together. This effect is called "visual displacement". With two eyes, you can change your perception from a plane to a three-dimensional one.
? 13 how to find the second eye? Look forward on the basis of the first sight.
For example, Sina, originally the first of the three portals, had one eye, but it didn't stop, but kept exploring new eyes. At a certain stage, Sina did all possible Internet business types at that time, but most of them were unsuccessful. It was not until Weibo, a new business, was discovered that Sina's market position was stable.
Tencent is typical and self-innovation is successful. The second eye actually found WeChat from QQ and became a giant in the market.
? 14, Liu Chuanzhi's "The Most Concerned Issues for Startups"
? Ask Mr. Liu Chuanzhi: What should a startup company pay most attention to?
? He said, I can't feel well. When there is a good business, the founder should think about two things: first, find a suitable person to manage this mature business; Second, think about what to do next. He said, "I have been looking for opportunities in this way all my life in Lenovo Group. Don't try if you don't know how to go to school, and the situation can be opened a little bit. "
? 15, Warren Buffett's eyes
? Buffett is not only an investor, but also an entrepreneur. When I was a child, delivering newspapers, picking up golf balls and setting up pinball machines in barbershops were all business experiences. In Buffett's own words, "I am a better investor because I am also an entrepreneur;" I am a better entrepreneur because I am also an investor. This experience made me make the right decisions in both business and investment fields. "
? This seems to have two eyes, but that's all. He is not Buffett today. He finally achieved great success because when the above two eyes were combined, he found a new eye: insurance. Taking advantage of the continuous cash flow brought by the insurance industry, he became the person who really found the lever to incite the world.
? 16, from drilling through one eye to managing two eyes, these are two completely different life strategies, and there are many conceptual changes behind them.
? The longer you climb in a fixed direction, the stronger you will become. This is the cognitive model of a stable society. But now is an era of great change, and everyone lives in a complex ecology. The greater the progress in one direction, the greater the cost in other directions.
In the rapidly changing ecology, the lifestyle with only one eye is an expensive lifestyle. Only by constantly moving forward and looking for the next foothold of self-personality and spirit can we survive in this era.
? 17, Wang Shuo has an article saying that our generation will change from a knowledge-based farming nation to a knowledge-based nomadic nation.
? What do you mean?
? The so-called knowledge-based farming nation is to find a subject, like farming, and finally become an expert professor.
? The so-called knowledge nomad is a brand-new way to acquire knowledge, constantly stimulating their own interests and searching for areas that they may be interested in. Where there are many aquatic plants, there will be migration. Once I feel I know this field, I will pack my bags and switch to a newer field.
Every time such a person changes, it opens up a possibility of innovation and produces innovative ideas at the junction of two knowledge fields.
