How many thinking patterns make you stand out from your peers? Can you talk about them?

When most people are still in college, some students have begun to establish contacts and make various brave career attempts. By the age of 30, when most people are still anxious about the future, these people are financially free, their careers are thriving and they have plans for the future. Why are they always so musical? It is definitely not enough to rely on self-discipline and adhere to these superficial things. What really opens the gap between people is the way of thinking. Today we are going to talk about the most important one of Charlie Munger's 100 thinking models.

The first thinking mode, the real-time bystander thinking mode, when making a decision, imagine how you will look at the current decision in ten minutes, whether it is consistent or regretful, how you will look at the current decision in ten months, and how you will look at it in ten years. When I was young, I often didn't know how to choose, from choosing a school and a job to whether to be with my boyfriend and girlfriend now. Every time I make a major decision, I can use this mode of thinking to imagine, and I will be much clearer about the future.

The second mode of thinking is opportunity cost. Resources are not infinitely beautiful. When you choose to do anything with your own time and money, you give up the most valuable choice of doing other things with these time and money. Start with trivial things every day, for example, you have been worried for two hours today, and you have lost two hours to study, exercise or learn financial management knowledge. If you filter it out, stop torturing yourself and do something right away, your opportunity cost will be zero. What should you do? It is obvious to make bigger decisions. For example, you used your money to invest in a project that you don't know much about, and gave up the opportunity to invest the same money in a quality project that you are very proficient in.

The third mode of thinking is reverse thinking. We are used to thinking about how to succeed, but there are always too many unexpected things in the implementation, which make us unprepared. Conversely, I will consider all possible problems and study how to avoid these risks or how to deal with all these problems. Imagine what to do if all the plans fail. Instead of looking for success, it is better to list how to fail and then avoid failure.

The fourth mode of thinking, the anti-fragile mode of thinking, the antonym of fragility is not strong, but anti-fragility. The dinosaur was very strong, but it became extinct. Cockroaches are unremarkable They have survived for 400 million years and benefited from the impact. Only those who resist vulnerability under fluctuation, randomness, chaos and pressure, risk and uncertainty can become stronger and stronger.
