See the sensitivity of the micro-knowledge

There is a story in Andersen's fairy tale "Princess and Pea", which says that there are three criteria to judge a real princess: first, be polite to everyone; Second, she cares about both the poor and the rich; Third, her skin must be very sensitive. What do you mean very sensitive? You put a pea under the mattress on the twentieth floor, and the real princess sleeps on the bed, and she can feel the pea.

Then why do you have to ask the princess to be so sensitive? Because the first two standards can be achieved as long as they are "good people"; Only this third criterion can be achieved by girls who have been well-fed and have a keen sense of life enjoyment since childhood. Therefore, "sensitivity" can distinguish between high and low nobles.

Of course, the sensitivity mentioned here is not only the sensitivity of the skin, but also the sensitivity to various feelings. For example, some people can observe subtle things, while others can't, which is poor sensitivity. In interpersonal communication, if a person lacks sensitivity, he will have no discretion in doing things, and he will not know the weight of his words. He may not even understand other people's hints, nor do he understand higher-level jokes. He can be a good man or have great professional skills, but he is still a rough man at heart. Nowadays, sensitivity is a very important thing. An Israeli historian, Herali, put forward a formula in A Brief History of the Future: "Knowledge = Experience × Sensitivity". Herali said that in this modern age without religious belief, if you want to find the meaning of life, you must have experience and sensitivity. Sensitivity here means that you should gain experience from experience and then transform yourself with experience. Through constant experience, you will have a deeper understanding of the world and eventually become a better person.

Business sensitivity is also called "business sense" and "business sense". Including "business common sense: the ability to deeply understand the organization's financial, market and operational functions and their relationships, make good judgments and make quick decisions. However, sensitivity can be learned, just like once you do something wrong in your life and realize the serious consequences, if you can sum it up, you will be particularly sensitive and more measured next time you encounter similar situations. We often say "deliberate practice", which requires practitioners to be very sensitive to mistakes, know where they are at any time, and it is best to feel mental pain. But high sensitivity is also problematic, and you may be overly sensitive. Some people are particularly sensitive. When a person just says a word casually, he takes it as a hint. If someone plays a joke casually, he will get angry. In fact, some information does not need to be over-interpreted. This requires us to improve our sensitivity and learn another skill, that is, neglect. Seeing and feeling, but pretending not to see, is passive neglect. Don't look at that aspect at all, that's active neglect. To have such a degree of neglect, we must know what is important and what is not. We should only be sensitive to important things and relax our sensitivity to unimportant things. So what's important and what's not? Wan Weigang said that thinking about people is not important. It's important to think about things and ideas. Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of President franklin roosevelt, famously said, "Great minds talk about ideas, medium minds talk about events, and weak minds talk about people. "You must have an idea before you can make things happen. Those powerful people are people who can make things happen. These people are proactive and like to talk about ideas. Generally speaking, people are passive. In most cases, they can only be spectators and talk about it after it happens. There is another kind of person who only studies how to please the first two kinds of people.

In addition, the highest sensitivity can reach the realm of micro-knowledge. There is a famous story. When Bingji, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, visited the place, he pretended not to see anyone fighting in the street. Seeing that a cow seemed to be ill, he went to check the cow's condition very carefully. Subordinate asked him, why don't you fight, but care about such a trivial matter as cattle getting sick? The prime minister said that fighting is a matter for local officials, and it is a trivial matter. The prime minister doesn't have to take care of it, but the cow is sick, which may indicate that the climate is abnormal this year. This is the big deal. Although not everyone can do it, it is a real kung fu worth improving.
