Three radii of life

To do something, a person needs to know his three "radii" first.

Cognitive radius

Capacity radius

effective range

In the long run, it is not resources, not ability, but cognition that determines the gap between people.

There is a joke about the golden pole in Weibo:

Internet-free era

The farmers were chatting idly, and one asked: What do you think the emperor used a pole to pick firewood for?

The farmers agreed that the emperor's family had to pick firewood with gold poles.

What would the emperor say if you said this to him?

In fact, this statement did not reach the emperor's ears, and farmers entertained themselves. For generations, they can think that the emperor used gold poles to pick firewood.

The emperor didn't know what the farmers said.

Everyone is safe.

Internet Age

The emperor brushed Weibo to this forwarding, and even the farmer Aite asked: Does your majesty usually pick firewood with a gold pole?

The emperor was good-natured, and replied, I have neither a pole nor a gold pole.

Farmers probably won't believe it: the emperor actually said that his family doesn't even have a pole, and the poorest king in our village has a pole. The emperor cried too falsely. His house must be a golden pole!

Munger said: People who only have hammers in their hands regard everything as nails.

Knowing people at different levels is like having a friend who can only hold a hammer.

I bought a limited edition item to share with him. He asked if he was strong.

20 million soft light double shots before and after the new mobile phone, he said, can you smash walnuts?

Is there any simple and good way to improve the cognitive radius?

Cognitive radius, the bigger the better.

Socrates most appreciated a sentence engraved on the temple of Delphi: "Know yourself."

It is easy to know others, but difficult to know yourself.

One of the most important mental methods of Warren Buffett is the principle of ability circle, sticking to his own ability range, not knowing how to do it, not being familiar with it, although misunderstood by many people in the bull market of the Internet.

The place where the cognitive radius and the ability radius overlap is the most worthwhile place to invest time and energy.

The radius of ability can change with practice and experience.

The most taboo thing in the circle of recognition ability is to take it for granted. Self-righteousness, wanting to do and being able to do are two completely different concepts.

It's finally time to start action.

Experts told us that the radius of action should be small.

That is, the bigger you want to do, the less you have to do, and the bigger the system you will eventually push.

Large-scale systems are the result of a large number of repetitions of some simple elements.

For example, the world's top large-scale catering groups are basically fast food.

Only simple recipes and few actions can expand the scale through a large number of copies.
