The level of your thinking is the level of your life.

David Schultz proposes in his book The Wonders of Big Ideas:

Among the factors that determine success, physical strength, intelligence, energy, education are secondary, and the most important is your thinking pattern. ”

Thinking governs action, and action determines results.

What kind of thinking a person has, what kind of destiny he often has.

Only by staying away from these 7 kinds of bottom-level thinking can you get out of the bottom-level life.

The underlying thinking of communication: reasoning. During the Warring States Period, King Qi Wei, who had just succeeded to the throne, acted arbitrarily and closed his eyes and ears.

Despite the painstaking counsel of the ministers, he still turned a deaf ear.

Everyone in the court was anxious, and at this time Zou Ji opened his mouth to tell a story of his own.

One day, he dressed himself up beautifully, and then asked his wife, concubine, and visitors who was more beautiful than Xu Gong, a man from North America in the city.

Everyone said it was him.

He was very happy, and after seeing the real person, he found that he was simply too ugly compared to the other party.

After listening to the laughter, King Qi Wei had an epiphany about the disadvantages of only listening to one-sided words, and immediately issued a decree to open up the way of speech.

Storytelling is a low-EQ way of communication, and knowing how to tell a story is the highest level of thinking.

No one likes cold, hard truths, no matter how correct your advice is.

Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, never promoted his products at every new product launch conference.

His first opening line was always: one more thing. (Oh, yes, one more thing.) )

As Daniel said in "A New Mindset".

Whether you are a manager, an employee, or a mother, using story thinking to communicate with others will be one of the most important abilities for us to win the future.

A good story is worth a dozen big truths.

The underlying thinking of socialization: self-interest. A grower has carefully cultivated a new variety of fruit, which is selling very well.

When the neighbors saw this, they asked him one after another.

Fearing that they would rob them of their business, the growers refused.

Unexpectedly, the quality of the fruit harvested in the second year decreased a lot, and no fruit seller was willing to buy it.

Obviously the same cultivation method, how can this be?The farmer was puzzled and had to consult an expert.

The expert smiled and said that it is very simple, as long as you share your cultivation method with your neighbors.

After the skeptical growers did so, the fruit of the new year was really big and good.

It turned out that when he was surrounded by low-quality fruit trees, after being pollinated by natural mediums, his good fruit trees would also deteriorate.

And when the secret recipe is shared with everyone, the fruit tree gets high-quality pollen.

The ancients often said that those who benefit others are also self-interested.

When you make an umbrella for others, you are actually building bridges and paving the way for yourself.

No one is an island, especially in this era of information and scarce resources.

Your selfishness is to dig a hole for yourself;Only by knowing mutual benefit can we achieve each other.

Walking in the world, altruism is the greatest vision.

The underlying thinking of work: beating workers. A rural boy in the United States who had never received an education accidentally stumbled into the company of the steel magnate Carnegie.

Usually the workers are lazy and slippery, but he takes the initiative to take the work.

Everyone laughed at him for being stupid, and the boss wouldn't give more money if he worked more.

In this way, he said, he can accumulate more experience.

In his spare time, everyone got together to chat and play poker, and he hid in the shed to read management books.

Everyone burst into laughter, what are you doing as a worker?

However, he believes that from the perspective of managers, they can make better decisions.

He was Zibwa, later chairman of Carnegie Steel, and his co-workers were still struggling at the bottom.

Economist Xue Zhaofeng's words woke up how many people:

Every person, every moment, is working for their resume. ”

Work is not only for that salary, but more importantly, you can sharpen and increase your value with the help of this platform.

If you always have the mentality of doing things for others, what is imprisoned is your own growth.

And when you work with the thinking of a boss, even if you can't become a boss in the end, your own ability and vision will change qualitatively.

The underlying thinking of growth: taking shortcuts. Two masons are building a house for their employer's house.

The young bricklayer picks the large stones and builds the walls very quickly, while the old stonemasons pick the small, regular stones and proceed slowly.

When the young bricklayer saw this, he sneered and said, "You are so stupid, if you finish the work as quickly as I do, you will not be able to earn the next wage."

The old bricklayer shook his head, unmoved.

One day, after a torrential rain.

The young man was dumbfounded, his own wall, which had been made of large stones for the sake of speed, had collapsed, but the old bricklayer's wall was intact.

Eventually, not only did the young man not get paid, but his reputation also deteriorated, and no one wanted to hire him anymore.

However, the good reputation of the bricklayer craftsmanship has been passed on by word of mouth, and they are vying to be invited.

reminds me of a sentence by debater Chen Ming in "Wonderful Sayings": Don't always think about taking shortcuts, the so-called shortcuts lead to a desperate situation.

Opportunistic shortcuts will eventually lead to self-restraint.

What really makes you reach the land of your dreams is never the cleverness of shortcuts, but the stupid kung fu of being down-to-earth.

Only after stupid work can there be real effort.

The bottom of the happy mind: the pursuit of dopamine. Scientists have done an experiment that shocked the world, called "rats are crazy too":

Electrodes are embedded in the brains of mice, and as long as the pedal is gently pressed, a microcurrent stimulates the pleasure center of the mouse to produce dopamine, a substance that makes them happy.

The rat, which was addicted to dopamine, trampled frantically for 12 hours without eating or drinking, until he died of exhaustion.

Are you like that rat, a slave to dopamine?

Dong Yuhui said that dopamine and endorphins are both substances that can make us feel happy, but the quality of happiness is completely different.

The acquisition of the former is effortless, a small **, a game ......It will make you satisfied in an instant.

But this happiness is fleeting, and then there is an even greater emptiness and confusion.

What's even more terrifying is that it will not only steal your time, but also invisibly consume your fighting spirit, destroy your deep thinking ability, and ultimately swallow your future.

Dopamine is a trap, an addictive poison.

The production of endorphins, although painful at first, will eventually greet you with a lasting sweetness, just like the sense of accomplishment after reading a book and the feeling of pleasure after insisting on exercise.

Life is fair.

The things that make you cool for a while will definitely make you hurt in the end, and the things that make you hurt will make you really grow.

Stay away from dopamine and pursue endorphins, and you can meet the life you want.

The underlying thinking of adversity: the victim mentality. Charlie Munger has repeatedly introduced in public that he has a very important mindset in his life - "I am a survivor. ”

A person who complains about the unfairness of fate and self-pity when he encounters difficulties will not only not be able to change his situation, but will also fall deeper and deeper into the pain.

A person with a survivor mentality can always find life in the face of adversity and turn crises into opportunities.

Doctor of Psychology Eger, in "Over the Mountain Inside", talks about how she was able to survive the "purgatory on earth" concentration camp in Auschwitz because of her survivor mentality.

When her parents were thrown into the gas chamber to kill, she told herself that she still had her sister;

When she is asked to dance to the executioner officer, she imagines herself as spinning on the stage of the opera house;

As she lay down in the pile of corpses and slept, she was glad she was still alive.

No matter how bad the situation is, she always tells herself: suffering is the normal state of life, but we can choose our own state of mind.

No one's life is sunny all the way, there are always winds and rainstorms.

There is never an absolute dilemma, only despair.

Whether you are a victim or a lucky one is all up to you.

The underlying thinking of success: linear thinking. Someone once asked Warren Buffett, the "god of stocks": Why do I work so hard and am still so poor?

He laughed and said, "Because you're stuck in linear thinking."

Diligence is only a necessary condition for success, never a sufficient condition.

The real masters often have exponential thinking.

What is exponential thinking?An analogy can be made:

Let's say you can produce 1 part per hour, 6 parts in 6 hours, and 10 hours is 10 parts.

At this linear rate, you can only do up to 24 in a day, even if you don't sleep.

But after the technical optimization, you can make twice as many parts per hour, so when you do it for 6 hours, you can make 32).

Similarly, when you do the whole 24-hour day, do you know how much you end up doing?

The answer is 16777216.

The book "Jump" says:

The key to 100 times the benefit is not to work hard 100 times. The masters of each era are using the levers of the times to leverage themselves and achieve leapfrog growth. ”

Effort determines the lower limit, and cognition determines the upper limit.

If you just know how to keep your head down and work hard, sooner or later you will hit the ceiling.

Only by jumping out of the circle of linear thinking, reading more, making friends, and knowing how to take advantage of the situation, can we achieve our own fission growth.

Did you know that 95% of the perfumes of the world's major brands are actually water, only 5% are different?

The same is true of life, what really distances us is the secret ingredient of the 5% - the mindset.

Your level of thinking is the level of your life.

From now on, abandon the underlying thinking and constantly upgrade your cognition, so that you can break through the circle and meet a higher level of self.

Give it a thumbs up and encourage your friends.
