Hello everyone, I am Mo Mozi, a lifelong learner who practices the unity of knowledge and action
In "Alice in Wonderland", the Red Queen said: "If you want to stop where you are, you must run hard; If you want to break through the status quo, you need to move forward twice as fast as you do now。"It shows the true meaning of competition in the era of globalization.
At the same time of globalization, competition is also globalized, and outstanding talents all over the world are striving to enrich themselves in order to win, and everyone's level is getting higher and higher, but no matter how hard they try, the relative position seems to remain unchanged, which is the Red Queen effect.
When I first read this text, a strong thought came to me: how can I stand still when people who are better than me work harder than me?
What is even more distressing, however, is that we often realize that we are in warm water, but for various reasons hesitate until it is too late.
As Li Xiaolai's "The Road to Wealth and Freedom" says, most people fail to achieve their wishes due to a lack of firm belief and corresponding efforts.
How do we respond to this rapidly changing world?
01 Have the courage to try new things and accept your "three-minute heat":
People with three minutes of heat can continue to reap the rewards in exploration.
In the fast-paced modern life, many people have the problem of distraction, and one minute of heat can just solve this problem When we are faced with a new thing, the first three minutes are usually the most excited and focused, and at this stage we can quickly understand the whole picture of things and generate deep thinking.
Even if the enthusiasm subsides, we can learn some knowledge or skills that will lay the foundation for future development.
Curiosity and the ability to think in multiple dimensions are valuable assets to enhance competitiveness. Only by having the courage to try can you find your true passion.
Even if the enthusiasm subsides, we can learn some knowledge or skills that will lay the foundation for future development.
02 Develop the habit of lifelong learning
In this era of knowledge, only by continuous learning can we avoid being eliminated by the times.
Whether it's work or study, it helps us adapt to change, improve competitiveness and advance our careers. At the same time, lifelong learning boosts self-confidence, improves quality of life, and contributes to the progress of society.
In addition, it helps us to shape a better version of ourselves and realize our self-worth.
Developing lifelong learning habits requires setting clear goals, making plans to find resources, establishing daily study habits, applying them practically, maintaining curiosity and an open mind, communicating and collaborating with others, reflecting and summarizing, and maintaining patience and perseverance.
Through these methods, we can gradually develop the habit and ability of lifelong learning.
03 Deliberately exercise your own systematic thinking:
Systems thinking refers to an analytical and problem-solving approach that sees a problem as an interrelated system that can be understood to better understand the present set of problems and propose more effective solutions.
So how can you exercise your system thinking?
1. Learn and practice the theory of "six thinking hats".: It is an effective tool for analyzing problems and evaluating solutions.
It requires us to think from six different perspectives when thinking about a problem, including factual emotion, criticism, constructive suggestions, creativity, and generalization and summarization of the entire thought process.
Through this holistic way of thinking, we can better understand the complexity of the problem and find more effective solutions.
2. Expand your knowledge: Knowledge in multiple areas, not just in your own area of expertise.
This will help you build wider connections and deeper understanding, which will lead to improved systems thinking skills.
3. Cultivate curiosity: Be curious about the world around you, constantly asking questions and exploring.
Curiosity is the source of systems thinking, which encourages us to understand the nature and inner connections of things.
4. Learn to reflect and summarize:After completing a task or project, take the time to review the entire process and think about what went well and what could be improved.
Through reflection and summarization, we can constantly refine our way of thinking and methods.
5. Use tools such as mind maps:A mind map is a tool for visualizing complex information, which can help us better organize, understand, and remember information.
By drawing a mind map, we can clearly see the connections and interactions between various concepts, thus improving systematic thinking skills.
Strategies for coping:
01 Have the courage to try new things and accept your "three-minute heat":
02 Develop the habit of lifelong learning
03 Deliberately exercise your own systematic thinking:
