Hello book friends, welcome to continue to be a guest in the reading circle of little scholars, today we will continue to deepen the wonderful work of "Reverse Business". Today, we will continue to unveil the third pillar of reverse quotient - brain science.
Brain science is an amazing discipline that reveals the mysteries of the brain. We all know that the brain is a powerful memory capable of remembering everything we have been through. This ability can be called our "subconscious memory", which helps us store thoughts and behaviors that have been formed through trial and error. And sports is the perfect embodiment of this, every shot or shot is done in an instant, and at such a moment, we don't have time to think about the normativity of every action. However, it is these inadvertent actions that are silently recorded by our brains and stored in our deep subconscious.
In fact, this subconscious muscle memory can only be acquired through a thousand deliberate exercises. It's like knowledge, we can learn it, but real mastery needs to be tempered through practice. Therefore, we often say that knowing is only the starting point, and doing well is the end. These habitual actions, such as habitual blowing of hair, stammering, pinching fingers during speeches, etc., all originate from our subconscious. And in the face of adversity, different people will behave differently, some will choose to give up, while others will continue to receive frustration education, so as to show stronger combat effectiveness in desperate situations. These are all tempered thanks to their reverse quotient.
So, whether you want to become a better athlete or be more competitive in the workplace, you'll benefit greatly from learning and training against the quotient.
The author gives an example: military training and exercises are life and death training grounds. In this wilderness, the challenges are endless, and only those who have experienced the test of life and death can be fearless on the battlefield. As bodyguards, they have a very different mindset compared to them. In the face of danger, ordinary people may choose to flee or avoid it, but bodyguards must step up and block the risk. It takes countless times of grinding and honing to have extraordinary willpower. In this way, the foundation of reverse quotient can be divided into three aspects, namely, psychology, health and brain science. People with low adverse quotient usually have poor psychological quality and are easily tired physicallyAnd people who have an anti-quotient will not only have the courage to take responsibility in the workplace, but also have a more stable health. In addition, the level of adverse quotient can also be improved through acquired training.
For middle-aged people, the three major problems of workplace crisis, family crisis and children's relationship crisis always seem to come to the door at any time. If it is not handled properly, it will undoubtedly lead to endless troubles. To this end, the author proposes four dimensions of reverse quotient, namely, C for control, O for responsibility, R for influence, and E for continuity. Together, these dimensions form the core of the reverse quotient. By mastering these four dimensions, you will have a higher and stronger adversity quotient to meet the challenges of life.
"A sense of control" is an evocative word that represents our inner communication with adverse events and our ability to deal with the outcome. However, how much control do you think you have?This doesn't require objective criteria, it all depends on your subjective feelings. Sometimes, we are overwhelmed by certain words or actions and feel that everything is in vain, but this is actually a sign that you do not have a strong sense of control over yourself, and may even push yourself to the brink of failure. However, if we are ambitious enough, we will discover our inner strength, use our potential, and change some of the results.
For example, company layoffs, marital relationship breakdown, children's growth problems, etc., these seemingly uncontrollable things are not completely impossible to solve. It's all about whether you're willing to try and if you're motivated enough to face the challenge. If you always feel like you can't do anything, then you've given up on the game. Of course, sometimes we can't change the outcome, but we can reduce the damage with some effort, and that's a positive thing. Just like when the economy is bad and business is not good, we can increase our chances of survival by reducing costs, and this may bring unexpected benefits.
Therefore, if you want to control your own destiny, you must have enough ambition and confidence. Don't give up easily, because every challenge can be an opportunity for us to grow. As a competent assistant, your advice is undoubtedly wise. In times of economic downturn, we should not try all the risks that can make a profit at the expense of cash flow, but rather make it a priority to protect existing assets. Only in this way can we accumulate enough wealth to prepare for future turnarounds.
Of course, this statement does not completely negate the risks of investing in difficult markets. In fact, investing prudently and moving forward are not incompatible. We can maintain a certain cash flow by adjusting investment strategies, controlling investment risks, and reducing investment losses. Once the economic situation improves, we will have enough capital to capture more investment opportunities.
In addition, we must also have a spirit of responsibility. Accountability is a unique quality that helps us solve problems, improve the situation, and find opportunities in the face of adversity. Those who always shirk their responsibilities often fall into the abyss of complaining and cannot get out of the predicament. They lack the spirit of responsibility, and they also lack the contrarian quotient, which is the key to our success.
Just like the story of a husband and wife who came to see a doctor, when we are faced with an important decision, we should think carefully, weigh the pros and cons, and not easily follow the advice of others, especially at critical moments. Even our partners can mislead us into making bad decisions because of personal emotions or prejudices. Therefore, the spirit of responsibility is a necessary quality that helps us to understand the essence of the problem more accurately and to deal with various situations better.
In short, only with the spirit of responsibility and the ability to control adversity, can we maintain our competitiveness and constantly surpass ourselves in the future development. Let's start now and cultivate this quality to pave the way to success in our careers and lives. In life, things like this are not uncommon. Some people find it difficult to take responsibility for their mistakes. They have a habit of blaming others for their problems in order to pass the buck. I've seen it happen many times. He once praised a company as a good company, so I bought the company's **, but ended up losing money, so I blamed him. Another time, I bought a certain industry, but in the end I lost money, so I blamed the manager of **, lack of contrarian business, lack of responsibility. In the investment market, the lack of this ability is very scary because it means the inability to learn from the experience of failure, which in turn leads to constant losses. However, I really want to remind everyone that you can resent anyone, but you can only pay for the money you lose. This must be taken seriously by you. Only when you truly understand that you have to bear all the consequences will you take your investment decisions seriously.
Next, we're going to talk about influence. How much impact does adversity have on our lives?Will it spread further, such as the breakdown of our relationship with our boss, which will affect our career prospects, whether the lack of money will affect our family relationships, or even whether we will not be able to pay our children's school fees? Therefore, the degree of influence is very important. Adversity, like life's medicine, can sometimes bring out people's potential, and sometimes it can break our determination. For example, some elective exams that we don't value often make us take lightly because they don't count towards grades or credits, and even lead to failure. However, when we take positive action to avoid further contagion, we change this mindset. For example, when you are still responsible for providing for your children, you must do well at your job or risk losing your job. Losing income, for a person, is like a strong fortress being broken, and its negative effects are irreparable.
Then there's persistence, which is an important indicator of adversity. If adversity is short-lived, we may have more courage to face it;But if adversity is long-lasting, then the willpower of many people will gradually be disintegrated. For example, at the beginning of the pandemic, many people felt relaxed and happy because they thought that a few months of lockdown would be over. However, when the lockdown extended from a few months to three years, everyone began to feel stressed and anxious, and lost the confidence and courage to cope.
Finally, we need to know that adversity is not insurmountable, it just takes time and determination. Once we recognize this and are willing to put in the effort, we will eventually have the dawn. I would tell you that by 2023 at the latest, the epidemic will definitely end, and no one believed it at that time. However, after hard work and strong faith, in the end, we succeeded in overcoming the epidemic.
It can be seen that adversity affects not only our behavior, but also our mentality. When adversity begins to plague our lives, we need to learn how to deal with them and create a solid line of defense for our future.
In the face of adversity, some people are destined to become obedient to life, and they have no way to fight, so they can only accept it silently and accept their fate. However, those with a high adversity quotient can always see the possibilities behind the problem. Their thinking logic is simple and clear, and they always believe that "there are always more ways than difficulties". Even if everything seems hopeless, they are willing to minimize their own damage. In these challenging times, they found a way out of the problem by thinking about it.
For example, in the face of the current raging epidemic, we cannot change the anti-epidemic policy, but we can adjust our behavior, reduce unnecessary expenses, and shift business online. We must face the difficulties of reality, but we must also value life and actively seek ways to survive. Those who, like Lao Qi, always complain about policies and blame the epidemic, but never take actual action, their companies will eventually fall into the twilight of their inability to resist, and they will be burdened with heavy debts.
Because crises and opportunities coexist, different people's perspectives on problems determine their fate. People who are against the low quotient see powerlessness and see crises and disasters;However, those who are against the high quotient can find the opportunities. Perhaps, the opportunity that the epidemic has brought to Ali DingTalk and Tencent Meeting is the best example. In the space of three years, we've grown accustomed to working online, and it's no surprise that these businesses are on the rise. Dear users, adversity is a challenge for anyone, but how to stay calm and firm in the face of adversity, and even find opportunities for growth, this requires us to improve our adversity quotient. In fact, adversity is not only a challenge for one person, but also a test for an organization. To better cope with adversity, we need to understand and master the lead tools, which are listening, exploring, analyzing, and acting.
First, listening is our response to adversity. When encountering adversity, we need to listen carefully to our inner reflections and analyze whether they are high or low adverse quotients. Then, based on the scoring results of the core principle, we can have a clearer picture of our performance and challenges in the face of adversity.
Secondly, exploration refers to the deepening of our own sense of responsibility**. We need to think about what I should be responsible for and what I can stay out of this adversity. Only by clarifying our responsibilities and responsibilities can we better cope with adversity and face challenges calmly.
Third, analysis is about gathering evidence, looking for circumstances that we have no control over, and identifying factors that may cause adversity to spread or last too long. Only by analysing all the factors in a comprehensive manner can we better develop coping strategies.
Finally, action requires us to take positive action to gain control, limit impact, and shorten the duration of adversity. Therefore, when we encounter adversity, we only need to think in this order to be able to train our adversity quotient and improve our ability to deal with adversity.
In short, the reverse quotient can be improved, as long as we have the right methods and tools, we can better face challenges and achieve success. We hope that our efforts and wisdom can lead you and your team to move forward bravely in the face of adversity and walk out of a more brilliant path. Adversity is everywhere in the journey of life, and we need to learn to sniff out their presence. Small downside events may just be missed shots on the court, but they all contain valuable information and opportunities. By discovering these adversities, we can exercise our mental qualities and enhance our coping skills, so that we can become more confident and strong. As the old saying goes, "Where there's a will, there's a way", as long as we are willing to work hard, adversity will be conquered by us.
