-Have you ever cared about your weaknesses in your past growing experience? Or focus on your own advantages?
-Before contacting the theory of superiority, I fixed my eyes on my own weakness. That is, "I have nothing!"
? Even if others see me, I am full of confidence, energetic, active and quick-thinking; But what I see is that I am not so confident, a little rigid, not easy-going and too persistent. ...
? These weaknesses seem to have been wrapped in themselves. Based on the traditional barrel theory, to make up the short board, we should fold the long board we are good at in half and make up the short board. However, this own barrel is not perfect with the process of repair, but it is fragmented.
? Remember the 34 magical seeds in the above article?
From the time we were born, these 34 talented seeds began to grow slowly, and we inadvertently nourished and irrigated these magical seeds. Some thrive and become seedlings that highlight their advantages; Some failed to take good care of them, and looked a little faded, but they still felt stubbornly looking forward to being seen by their owners; Some of them over-fertilized for a period of time and almost burned their seeds. ...
? These 34 magical seeds are Gallup's extraordinary talents. These seeds are as magical as genetic codes, through which we can gain insight into a person's real needs.
? I have a question. How many friends who have passed the Gallup Advantage Test pay attention to their top 5- 10 talents, and the answer in their hearts is "I knew I was like this!" Then, I immediately turned to the last 5- 10, and the reply in my heart was "No wonder I ... sigh!"
? This question, I am! Why is my strategic thinking ability weak? No wonder I can't think macro. How can I call them to the front?
? I think most friends who have no contact advantage theory will be so confused. I think the best way to improve the present situation is to consciously practice weaknesses. I did it because I didn't.
? Advantage theory tells us that the barrel theory is like this:
? What does this picture bring you?
? Among these 34 magical seeds, the first watered 5- 10 seed has two sides. If they are overused or restricted, they will become the source of confusion. In the face of confusion, don't think about what we don't have, but look at the talents we have. They are often at work.
We should cherish the existing talent seeds. From mode-driven to goal-driven, it is precisely the process from barbaric use of talents to the blooming of advantages.
I have one more question. What's the difference between talent and advantage?
Talent, like a filter, is a pattern of thinking, feeling and behavior, which appears naturally and repeatedly and can be used effectively.
With the explanation of middle school Chinese, talent is a model; The word "de" is an attribute to describe this model, and these modifiers are very neutral expressions. Giving full play to talents is more like a pattern-driven, almost instinctive use.
Most talents are innate, and investment needs two points: one is deliberate practice, and the other is conscious management talent.
And our confusion lies not in weakness, but in the excessive or suppressed talent, which makes it impossible for talent to give play to its advantages.
Only by starting with your own talent can you find the real motivation to improve.
In the above "I was kidnapped by talent", I talked about my confusion on the growth path of a professional planner. After advantage consultation, I found that the root of my confusion lies not in my lack of "strategic thinking" talent, but in my excessive abuse of "responsibility"
Then I want to have a macro perspective and a systematic way of thinking. Can I only have "strategic thinking"? As a strong executive, can I have it?
The answer is yes. Besides, my friends around me have always affirmed my systematic thinking, so how did I get it?
Based on the "goal-experience-action" model, I explored the problem-solving based on advantages:
Goal: I want to have a macro perspective and a systematic way of thinking.
Experience:
When is my thinking most efficient?
? This question brought me back to the moment when my brain worked efficiently. Just like now, when I am writing something or typing on the keyboard, I can feel the little motor in my head running fast. If I stare and think drily, my thinking will become rigid.
Besides, I am more efficient when I fix my mind at a certain point in time or concentrate on a certain situation. For example, after 8 o'clock every Saturday night, I will start writing articles, so at this time, there seem to be many tunnels in my mind, which bring together the contents of this thinking.
-Who is playing a role in the above process?
? The perfect combination of achievement and concentration makes me focus on a goal, not only to accomplish it, but also to do something challenging for myself.
In this process, I not only achieved my goal, but also met my inner needs. Achieving goals+incentives is a win-win situation.
You see, after analysis, I am not brainless, but the way I use my brain is different from yours. The talent in the field of strategic thinking is not outstanding, but it also has no advantages. It is not that the achievements in this field cannot be made.
? Action: Based on the problem solving of advantages, I will play the dominant card in my hand, deliberately devote myself to "achievement+concentration", and open a macro perspective and a systematic way of thinking in a way that suits me.

Pay attention to a situation
3 Write it down (there is a writing process)
? In the past two weeks, I met my client X. From the head, he is a confident, literary and elegant boy. He is really elegant when he hears the voice, but the voice is not as mature as the head. Explore his life intention for the first time and analyze eight major problems in life. The answers to the first four questions are uncertain; In the fifth exploration of Success, he boldly said the accumulated answer "self-confidence" in his heart. As soon as this answer comes out, it is like a power switch, and then the question finds a smooth state smoothly.
? After a period of exploration, his life intention is self-confidence. And this confidence is like a wall in front of him. He hopes to express himself more fluently in public, but it is always not as good as expected. So I talked to him about advantages and talents again.
? In this way, we began the second exploration of advantages.
? Get these five talent cards: search, idea, thinking, learning and pursuit. I made an assumption that I am a big coffee in the field of strategic thinking, but my strategic thinking is not excessive, and I am in a standby state from 0 to 1.
? In communication, from 0 to 1 is exactly what he cares about most now. And X blames this worry on his weakness-communication.
? Therefore, the consultation begins with the interpretation of five cards, so that he can see his true face first.
? These words seem to be often used in our lives, but their internal motivation and deep interpretation are often more than just superficial meanings. For example, people who are outstanding in "pursuing" talents hope that they are very important in the eyes of others and are eager to be recognized. This is what we can generally feel from the existing experience. Those who "pursue" talents are independent and need more free and independent space. And this space has become a safe field to show "pursuit".
? Digging deep into a few words, we can find that we can cut in from the "novelty" in the "idea" and the "independence" in the "pursuit": exchange new ideas and use new expressions; Communicate with your boss in an independent and free space atmosphere and create a field suitable for your own expression. Consciously use the combination of "idea" and "pursuit" to start the first step.
? But he said he had tried these, and the effect was not obvious. He is well prepared, always worried and doesn't know how to deal with them. I wonder if the introspection mode of "thinking" has developed excessively? So, we deeply analyzed the "thinking" card:
-In previous experiences, what would he do if he fell into introspection?
-Record your thoughts.
-It's a good exercise. What's the effect?
-effective, but failed to adhere to.
……
? After consulting, it brought me a profound understanding:
The end of a consultation is not an answer, but the beginning of a self-exploration.
? The 34 magical seeds in our hands, the first 5- 10 gifts, are all gifts from nature. However, every seed has two sides, and only by consciously using it can it bloom. Instinct abuse or excessive or depression will become the source of confusion.
? As Wei Zhe said, "What really stops us is never the lack of ability, but the internal models that have been valuable to us without careful study."
? In fact, it's not just confusion from the perspective of superiority. Even in life, beautiful things have their opposites, which is the source of confusion. For example, the advantage of teaching profession lies in stability, and stability can also be the source of confusion. Everything is dialectical.
? If you are confused and want to give yourself some thoughts from the perspective of advantages, take a trip to explore advantages.
? I look forward to meeting you with a story. ......
