Jump out of the barriers of thinking

Wu Jiwei

There is a story: an examiner asked the examinee that when you were driving, you met a man and a dog in front. When you can't avoid it, do you hit people or dogs? Taking the lesser of the two evils, the examinee replied without hesitation: of course, it is a dog. Senior officials said, you go back and review well and come back for the exam next time. The examinee asked angrily, do you want to pretend to be human? The examiner said you should brake.

Of course, this is a joke, but in reality, there are not a few things that have been taken to the pit. Maybe the examiner is deliberately making things difficult, digging a "pit" and waiting to jump. Candidates' inherent narrow thinking inertia answers fall into the examiner's "pit" impartially.

Narrow thinking is not the patent of some people, it exists in most people more or less. Many times we are like frogs at the bottom of a well, thinking that all we see is the sky, or sometimes we jump from one well to another. In the decisive 2 1 day reading trip, such tiredness turned into a fresh wind, like the warm light of the ancient city, reaching to the heart. There is a feeling that the brain is wide open.

The whole book is particularly slow to read, on the one hand, because things are complicated, and at the same time, I am enjoying the process and feel the same way about the chapters and knowledge points in the book, including stories. I'm burning my brain. Would you like to have a look?

Jumping out of narrow thinking is a cognitive revolution, stepping out of the comfort zone and constantly trying to make a comeback. Absorb and master information with focused thinking, process and organize it into our own ability plates with divergent thinking, and form new chunks in an attempt to consolidate our existing knowledge.

Trying is a process of trial and error. Try the depth of water, try whether the shoes fit, and try whether tungsten can be used as the material of light bulbs ... If you think something has a good prospect, try it first. Because we keep trying, we will find some places that we neglected or ignored or didn't understand before, which is also a process of accumulating experience.

Trying is in the initial stage of determination, and common sense will be used to judge after trying. What suits you is the best. The purpose of trying is to stop trying by using decisive related theories. If it suits you, stop trying to "jump" into it immediately.

I still remember an article I learned when I was a child called "Pony Crossing the River". The pony crossed the river. At this moment, a little squirrel jumped out and told him that the river was too deep to cross. Some time ago, he drowned one of his companions. After a while, an old cow came running and said, the water is very shallow, just above my knee. Pony is puzzled. Is this river deep or shallow? Have you ever thought of crossing the river?

While laughing at ponies, are we often influenced by other people's opinions? There is an old saying: shoes don't fit you until you wear them on your feet. Whether pears are delicious or not, you should taste them yourself. This is the importance of trying. When the pony reached the middle of the river, he found that the water just didn't reach his stomach, not as deep as the squirrel said, nor as shallow as the ox said.

Why do we fall into narrow thinking, how to get out of narrow thinking, how to broaden our horizons and face an open life ... This book has a detailed description.

Focusing on the current choice means turning a blind eye to other choices. Narrow deadlocks are hard to find-but only when you are in them. When you are a decision-making consultant outside, you can clearly see that your colleagues or your children are unnecessarily limiting their choices. Multi-target tracking makes us introspection. Consider the opposite situation. Consider the opposite situation. Find someone to help you solve the problem. The book says: Sometimes things will be very different if you broaden your horizons.

Therefore, I feel how happy and necessary it is to have three or five spin doctor or think tanks. Speaking of senior consultants and think tanks, I have met with the guidance and support of noble people at several important nodes in my life. Now that five years have passed and more than ten years have passed, I still respect them and maintain a very good relationship. This kind of noble person is a rare blessing in life.

Change is the key to jumping out of thinking obstacles. The book mentions the urgency of change. This is a new word for me, and the combination of awakening the giant in my heart and never streaking has deepened my understanding of this word. Teacher Chen Anzhi wrote a book: Never run naked. In order to achieve a certain goal, he set himself a painful incentive: if he didn't achieve this goal, he would run naked. In his mind, streaking is an embarrassing behavior that normal people can't accept. This is the source of his pain and his strength. It is far better to motivate yourself with this kind of pain than with the happiness and satisfaction after the goal is achieved. The goal he set for himself is never to run naked, which means he must achieve it.

Chen Anzhi's method is worth learning.
