What if the eloquence is not good? I have a slow brain (which gives you the ability to think and react quickly).

Suppose you encounter the following scenario:

You attend a party and meet a customer asking about your company's products. At this moment, your friend or colleague comes up and casually says, "He doesn't know anything. What's the use of asking him? "

In the face of this "exposure" situation, how should you handle this problem skillfully? It depends on your thinking ability and agility!

Agile thinking is very important in oral expression.

People with good eloquence, no matter what happens, can improvise and solve problems skillfully, which is due to their keen thinking reaction.

This kind of "flexible eloquence" is a practical skill that everyone who learns eloquence should master. But this kind of speaking skill is not innate and needs accumulation and training.

If you want to be quick-thinking, you need to improve your coping ability.

The basic requirements of coping with eloquence In order to improve the ability to cope with eloquence, we must first understand the characteristics of agile coping ability.

Simply put, the characteristics of coping eloquence mainly include the following aspects:

1, now launched. Once it comes into contact with external signals, it can immediately make an impromptu language response;

2, to the point, the response can be lean and short, and every sentence is to the point;

3, flexible, will not stick to a coping style, know how to adjust according to different situations;

From these points, we can see that the ability of agile thinking can be summarized as "fast, accurate and ruthless" in one sentence. Through appropriate response, the "provocateur" can be silenced.

Give two examples.

In a waiting room, a young man spat on the white wall. Others saw this and said, "Big Brother, don't you know you can't spit everywhere?"

"I know, but I am throwing up on the wall now, not on the ground." The young man argued.

"In that case, it seems that I can throw the garbage to you in my hand. After all, I didn't throw garbage everywhere. "

The young man was suddenly speechless.

There is also a famous joke about Goethe.

One day, Goethe was walking in Weimar Park. On a narrow path that only one person can pass, I met a critic who made a sharp satire on his work.

The critic said proudly, "I never give way to fools."

At this time, Goethe stood aside and said with a big smile, "I am just the opposite."

If the first story is a counterattack of language skills, then the second story combines some elements of action as an agile response.

In other words, a keen thinking response requires you to express it through words and actions. Only in this way can you cope with different difficult situations.

To do this, we must first cultivate several abilities.

The ability of agile thinking requires you to master some basic abilities if you want to play agile thinking effectively.

About four abilities play a fundamental role in agile thinking.

First, be confident enough.

The importance of confidence is self-evident.

When you have no self-confidence, you will have a tendency to escape or retreat from what is happening outside, and it is easy to passively accept those bad things.

On the contrary, a confident person will take the initiative to think about coping strategies when encountering problems. This is the core requirement of agile thinking.

Whether you want to be a quick-thinking person or not, it will do you no harm to cultivate self-confidence.

Second, the willpower is stable.

The ability to focus on our goals and adjust our actions and self-psychological expectations according to them is often willpower.

In contingency thinking, willpower can make you deal with problems in a more proactive manner, with persistent and tenacious emotions and pertinence.

If you are always in a state of mental tension, it is difficult for you to focus on your goals in response.

Third, focus.

Being able to mobilize our attention and focus on the problems that need to be solved is the first step for us to successfully solve the problems.

When you are distracted and confused, it is difficult for you to rule out the interference of your surroundings and even your psychology. Through effective thinking, you can make effective judgment and feedback on external information, so as to adjust your own response measures.

As long as you are in a very keen state of consciousness, you have active thinking to support your epiphany.

This is the importance of maintaining attention.

Fourth, smart ideas.

The expression of strain is a creative language activity. Since we want to "adapt", our thinking must be in a very active state.

Only in this way can you make different thinking forms, such as logical thinking, associative thinking, divergent thinking, convergent thinking, reverse thinking and so on * * * coordinate their work, and let your brain generate clever answers.

The characteristics of creative thinking, such as agility, fluency, originality and flexibility, are the important characteristics of contingency thinking.

In that case, how can we train them?

There are "soft methods" and "hard methods" to train contingency thinking.

The so-called "soft way" is a way to improve thinking by thinking about different IQ problems or thinking problems and accumulating certain thinking experience.

Since chatting with others is the place where we use contingency thinking most in our daily life, it is a practical "hard training way" to improve our contingency thinking by training our language ability.

We can train our thinking and reaction ability by training debate.

Among them, the four practical training methods are:

1, ask yourself and answer;

2. Ask and answer quickly;

3, backchat along the language;

4. misinterpret the answer;

By training your language response ability in these four ways, you can basically cope with most conversation problems encountered in daily life.

The so-called "asking yourself and answering yourself" means asking yourself some strange questions and then trying to answer them in different ways.

The use of this method is to activate thinking by creating language barriers for yourself.

When you can adjust your thinking to answer these questions, or even "jump out" of the conventional way of answering questions, you will naturally collide with the spark of thinking.

For example, try asking yourself some "unfriendly" questions:

Do you think you are an ugly person? How do you survive in this world with such a low IQ? As a poor man, don't you have ambition? Why do you ask yourself these questions?

Ordinary and ordinary questions, we are used to some kind of answer. And people's brains tend to act in the most time-saving and trouble-free way, so ordinary and ordinary answers will naturally be answered in our fixed way.

However, these "abnormal and unfriendly" problems leave the comfort zone of the brain, so that the brain will force itself to use new ways to deal with problems, thus activating our thinking response.

This way of asking and answering questions can play a role in training your own thinking.

Training requirements:

1, questions must be able to "test" yourself, and you can ask yourself questions from easy to difficult and from shallow to deep;

2. Give yourself limited time to answer questions, such as answering questions completely within 30 seconds, so as to improve the response speed to questions.

It's best to record your answers with your mobile phone, and improve your answers by listening repeatedly until you are satisfied.

This kind of training need not be confined to yourself. You can also ask your friends to help you design some questions and try to answer them.

Force yourself to think with quick questions and answers. If "ask yourself and answer yourself" is to let yourself jump out of the inherent way of thinking to answer questions, then "quick question and answer" means that no matter how you answer questions, as long as you can answer them immediately, you will succeed.

This training method can train our ability to "answer questions like a stream". No matter what others ask, we can answer them instantly. This kind of high-intensity thinking activity will force us to think about the answer in the shortest time.

After such training, our thinking activities will become a state of being alert to emergencies like conditioned reflex.

What are the training methods?

For example, idioms solitaire and Xiehouyu Solitaire all belong to the category of quick question and answer. But when you start practicing, you'd better start from yourself, take yourself as the topic and design a series of questions according to your own situation. For example:

What do you think you are? What kind of life do you want? Is life bitter or sweet for you? These questions should be step by step from near to far, and the answer time should not exceed three seconds. In other words, once a question is raised, you should respond immediately and give yourself a sense of urgency.

Training tips:

1, the speed of answering questions is the most important. It is best for two people to train together, one is responsible for asking and the other is responsible for answering. Whether you ask or answer, you can play a training role.

2, the length of the answer, it is best not to be too long, five seconds to answer, that is, it belongs to the nature of quick questions and quick answers. If it is delayed for too long, it will be unqualified.

3. There is no need to be too harsh on the answer, as long as you can get the main points roughly, you can pass.

To refute the so-called "cross-examination" of the other party according to the other party's language is to follow the other party's logic and construct a reverse meaning to counter the other party.

The two stories mentioned above are examples of refuting each other's logic. The other party's language has implied its own thinking logic, so as long as we use this logic to make sentences, we can play a role in counteracting the other party.

This kind of training is a more advanced way of thinking, because you have to disassemble each other's logic before you can "imitate sentences."

For example, there is such a story.

When a prime minister of a certain country faces a reporter one day, he is often asked rudely by the reporter.

The female reporter asked, "I don't know what you think of women?"

The minister replied, "There were many ideas in the past. But since I met you, I don't know. "

The minister's answer is to follow the logic of the other party's "idea" to deny it, thus playing a role in countering the other party.

So in training, you can combine the method of "asking yourself and answering yourself", then ask yourself some "difficult" questions, and then fight back and answer according to the logic of the questions. For example:

Q: Have you always had such a bad temper?

A: No! It's been like this since I met you!

Q: As a poor man, what do you think of interpersonal relationships?

A: I won't associate with you when I have no money, and I don't want to associate with you when I have money.

Q: I'm curious, how did your poor father train you into a "talent"!

A: I'm also curious about how your rich father raised you to be a gangster.

Of course, if you can answer quickly and hit the nail on the head, it means that your thinking response has been very agile.

If not, we should improve the training requirements, train ourselves by asking ourselves and answering questions quickly, and form a keen response by combining this method.

Divergent thinking misinterprets the meaning of words, which means not understanding words according to the original intention of the other party. In daily life, this is a very useful coping skill. For example:

Dad is scolding his son.

Dad: How many times have I told you not to smoke behind my back?

Son: Sorry, Dad. I will never smoke behind your back again. I'll smoke in front of you.

The son misinterpreted the original meaning of the word "shoulder" in his father's mouth into what he understood. Father means "don't cheat him into smoking secretly", and son means "smoking aboveboard".

This misinterpretation training method can broaden our thinking of seeing problems, activate our thinking of solving problems, and thus improve our thinking response ability.

As for how to train, you can watch some jokes related to misinterpretation and cultivate your "sense of language".

For example, when you see the sentence "We can be friends because we hit it off", think about the following sentence, where can it be misinterpreted?

Of course, it is "congenial." You can misinterpret it as homophonic and say, "Really? It seems that Doraemon must be our good friends. After all, his head is round! "

Another example is "poor people can't move", which is now misinterpreted by many people as "poor people can't immigrate", which is a misinterpretation of the meaning.

As long as you do this kind of training often, your thinking reaction will definitely become very active.

Training requirements:

1, after reading the joke, try to analyze the skills used in the joke to "make us laugh", regardless of whether the joke is funny or not.

2. According to the skills learned, try to imitate the same situation with this skill to see if you can skillfully use it.

Keep training yourself in these four ways, and your thinking and reaction ability will naturally become faster and faster.
