Wan Weigang: What should we be sensitive to?

This is the 45th day when Lao Lu insisted on 100-day WeChat business!

This article talks about sensitivity with you.

Not long ago, Wan Weigang discussed the topic of "sensitivity" in the subscription column "Elite Day Class" of Get. What does sensitivity mean here? Wan Weigang gave an example of Andersen's fairy tale The Princess and the Pea. According to the story, there are three criteria to judge a real princess: first, she is 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.

Wan Weigang believes that there is a truth behind this story, that is, "sensitivity" can distinguish high and low nobles. Of course, it is not necessarily skin sensitivity. Sensitivity mentioned here includes sensitivity to various senses. 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.

Moreover, sensitivity can be learned. For example, Wan Weigang said that when he watched the Spring Festival Evening, he felt that the stage was luxurious, but he always felt a little rustic, but he couldn't tell what kind of rustic it was. Later, he learned a concept in an article called "color saturation". According to this article, the higher the color saturation, the weaker the sense of advanced, and the reason why the Spring Festival Evening stage is earthy is that a large number of colors with high saturation such as red, large and green are used. Knowing this truth, we have learned a new perspective. Once the concept is clear, the sensitivity can be doubled.

The same is true of other things in life. Once you do something wrong and realize the serious consequences, you'd better sum it up with a concept, so that the next time you encounter a similar situation, you will be particularly sensitive and more measured. 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, this is 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.

These are Wan Weigang's views on sensitivity, which I hope will be of some reference value to Wechat business.
