Do you know how to work hard?

When my daughter was in primary school, most of her grandparents came to pick her up. Occasionally to pick her up from school, a group of children lined up and walked out of the school gate shouting slogans. The slogan was: Let's work together! Success is ahead!

This is the school motto. The teaching building is printed with bright red school motto slogans, just like an enterprise with "unity, hard work and hard work" as its corporate culture slogan. The lower the grade, the more fierce the children shout, and the students in grades 5 and 6 often don't shout much. Once I received my daughter and asked her, "Let's work together. Success lies ahead." What is success? "

I don't know!

"Didn't the teacher speak?"

"no!"

The daughter who is less than ten years old answered so neatly.

"What is success?" This question is too social and popular for adults to answer, right? Just like "what is happiness", different people will give different answers.

Before reading the book "Please Stop Ineffective Efforts", I never seriously thought about "What is effort?" I only think that the word "hard work" is a positive, high-spirited and positive state of study, work and life, and it is a life form that everyone should present.

The word "hard work" also reminds me of the title of my first composition-"Remember a classmate who studies hard". In my eyes, "hard work" is equivalent to hard work. I wrote about Mi Hong, our monitor, and made up her glorious image of "It's just dawn, and the east is a fish-belly grey ..." She was the first to rush to the classroom to study, and at the end of the composition, she did not forget to add "She is really a good example for us to learn."

Please stop ineffective efforts, which directly subverts my understanding of "efforts" and makes me rethink the definition and significance of "efforts". Books are read slowly, because they are reference books, and there are exercises at the back of each chapter, just like going back to school to do homework.

The author said at the beginning that this book can't be read by leaps and bounds. "It is not a story book that can be read at a glance, because it is not so easy to learn a methodology and change the way of thinking and communication in the past."

Sun, the author, once served as the consulting director of the world's top management consulting company. "the first in the world" yo! 10 years ago, our company hired a management consulting company to do consulting, and all the management consultants we came into contact with were excellent, not to mention being a "world top" management consulting company for 8 years. It is precisely because of her expertise in organizational design and personnel training that she can look at and think about problems from different angles such as "managers, consultants and professionals".

Many self-growth books, like success, focus on Tao, which is like listening to a success class, where you are "extremely excited" and "motionless" after class, but most of the passionate hearts don't know how to act. This book focuses on "technique" and gives many methods. "Methodology of hard work"-also the orientation of this book. Although it won't make you full of chicken blood and double your spirit, it is very practical.

You can find all the answers to your puzzles in this book-

Why is learning by willpower a hooligan?

Why is our independent thinking neither independent nor thinking?

Why do you have a lot of information, but you can't solve the problem?

Why does your thinking always turn into trouble?

Why do your plans always fall by the wayside?

"Please stop ineffective efforts" describes the way of "how to make rapid progress in the right way". The methods and ideas of hard work can be used to analyze most problems in our life, study and work. The book provides scientific and practical tools and methods. Through vivid mind maps and charts, combined with the follow-up exercises of each article, one's past thinking cognition will be completely subverted, thus making great changes in one's work and life.

It is important for everyone to "know themselves". The author believes that how much value a person can create is inseparable from three internal factors-knowledge, ability and talent. "Everyone has a talent, but 80% of people are wasting their talents." In the network age, knowledge is widely spread. How to turn knowledge into ability? A complete knowledge system includes three elements: knowledge structure, knowledge content and the relationship between content. When constructing knowledge structure, reliable and high-quality information sources come from experts, professional websites and classic books.

These clear threads can help people get rid of the wrong concept of "defining efforts by the length of time" and improve their horizons, minds and abilities.

The author gave an example of self-taught guitar. She wants to learn guitar, but she feels that she has no foundation at all and it takes too much time to start from scratch. Later, her friend suggested learning guitar by "learning about an industry in a week or two" in the workplace. After studying for only four hours, I sang a song by myself, which was very fulfilling. This incident inspired the author-our learning is T-shaped, that is, we can master in one field, while in most other fields, we can only learn the important parts. This kind of study will also make people happier.

Continuous and happy learning is nothing more than the following three points:

First, we like learning content or learning itself;

Second, you can learn well and give yourself a sense of accomplishment;

Third, this kind of learning can help us bring value.

This is a book about methodology. The content includes "learn how to learn, build thinking ability, improve communication ability, choose the right platform, break the mindset and return to the true self". Because of my work, the chapter I am most concerned about is career planning.

The author thinks that 90% people can't do career planning. Although this is a commonplace topic.

First, everyone should make a good career plan.

A person is a company, and running a business is the same as running yourself. Career planning is your own business. Don't count on career coaches or so-called "career planners". You are responsible for your own life. Personal career planning should consider three points: value planning, advantages and disadvantages, and attention to external changes.

Second, the planning tool-personal business model canvas (right above)

After filling in this canvas, you can analyze and apply it to-career diagnosis, career choice and career planning. There are detailed answers in the specific method book, and there are wonderful refinement and exercises after class. I won't go into details one by one.

To tell the truth, this book is not easy to read. Perhaps this is the characteristic of useful books. !

If you feel that you have been working hard, but you still have no sense of accomplishment, you might as well think about all aspects of your study, life and workplace from the source, and whether you should improve and upgrade your efforts. The so-called "sharpening the knife and cutting the wood by mistake", after all, only by putting limited energy into valuable things and doing the right things can we make rapid progress and get twice the result with half the effort!
