There is never a point of sudden change in life, as if it was the same before the age of thirty, and life must change the day after the age of thirty. In fact, there will be no obvious changes in your physical function, cognitive level, and work skills before and after this day, because human changes cannot be achieved in one or two days.
Growing up in life is a lifelong career.
Believe
How to do this lifelong career well, we must first realize that the trajectory of life can be changed. You should believe that even the poorest of you can change your destiny by changing yourself. It's the power of believing.
There is a concept in the medical field called the placebo effect, which is a universal objective fact. For example, the patient was told that a famous doctor had operated on him, but in fact no one touched him, just pushed him into the operating room and slept and pushed him out, and his condition really improved, and it was a medically detectable improvement. This effect is so common that the development of new drugs must be double-blind testing to rule out the interference of the placebo effect.
So believing is very powerful, it can substantially change your body, it can change your consciousness. So the first step to growth is to believe that you can grow, and the cognitive level is not static.
Rational brain
Human genes are very ancient things, and modern society has only developed in the last hundred years, and the genes preserved by natural selection for hundreds of millions of years cannot fully adapt to modern society.
The low-energy mode is the state pursued by the human body, thinking, exercising, rationality, self-discipline, these behaviors are all ***, genes do not allow us to do this.
But if a modern person does not think, does not exercise, is purely emotional, and does not have self-discipline, then he will most likely not grow. If you want to grow, you must always be wary of the ancient genes that are causing you bad.
Get smart
With the power of belief and constant vigilance against genetic resistance, these two are not enough. Another important part of wanting to grow is to be smart.
Intelligence is very much about IQ, which is the ability to make decisions, the ability to process information, and imagination. IQ is also not static, with 10 points more on IQ tests for each additional year of formal education. But adults don't have the opportunity to get an education, so how can they improve their IQ?
In fact, the opportunity has always been there, adult college is a choice, Internet paid courses are also an option, and the free ** of station b is also an option.
Reading books is a way to grow intellectually at little to no cost. It often takes a lot of time and effort for an author to write a book, and you only need to spend a relatively short time accepting the results of the author's thinking. It's quite a bargain.
Writing output is a means of ensuring that knowledge is consolidated and turned into intelligence. It doesn't take much energy to enter information alone, and there is very little that really remains. Only by telling the knowledge can we really test whether we understand it or not.
The knowledge is yours to use. You have to use knowledge to solve your practical problems, this is not to say that pragmatic knowledge is valuable, but the knowledge that can solve your practical problems is relevant to you, and it is the knowledge you need to transform into your intellectual growth.
Exercise transforms the brain. The human brain is a very amazing thing, and modern brain science research has shown that exercise can help improve intelligence. This is probably one of the few great assets that the ancient base has left behind.
There are other ways to improve intelligence, such as walking, meditation, and reflection, so there are specific methods for intellectual growth.
Collect skills
With a smart mind, you also need to use the tools to turn it into your productivity. This tool is a variety of skills, which can be editing, English ability, writing ability, presentation ability, management ability, drawing ability, and so on. The more skills you collect, the more likely you are to collide with the spark of success.
There is a cartoonist in the United States who is the author of the satirical workplace cartoon "Dumb Burt". The scene of this comic is very simple, just two staff members sitting together and talking. This requires little to no drawing skills. But the author's in-depth knowledge of the workplace and his not-so-stellar textual skills made this comic a hit in the United States.
This cartoonist is also a best-selling author, and his masterpiece is called "My Life Is Loose and Wins". The title of this book visually demonstrates the importance of collecting skills.
Understand the requirements
With the above preparations, you also need to understand the requirements.
If you are a part-time worker, you need to understand the needs of your boss; If you are the boss, you need to understand the needs of your customers; If you are an entrepreneur, you need to understand the needs of the market.
Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 360, said that the most important thing in the first year of entrepreneurship is to figure out what kind of market needs the product solves.
Workers also need to know what kind of people the company needs and what kind of problems you can solve for the company's development and business. This is something you need to think about with your brain, and the high IQ you have cultivated has to be brought out at this time.
Heavy action
Action is the foundation of the above, and no action is empty talk. Most people will still be indifferent after reading this content, will not take any action, and will not make any changes. Ancient genes will come out again to explain this inaction as energy conservation, and your brain will start to rationalize its own behavior.
For example, if you are too tired today, you will start again tomorrow; Play with your phone today and study twice as much tomorrow to make up for your time; I don't have the capital to make mistakes, so I can't act blindly. These are all reasons that the animal brain and the emotional brain are dominating your behavior, and your rational brain is making up reasons for this behavior.
Think of a thousand roads at night, get up in the morning and walk the same way. This will not succeed, it will only stand still.
In fact, 99% of people don't act after reading an article that they don't know who wrote it, and if you do, you become 1% of the crowd. All you need to do is act now and you'll be able to defeat 99% of them.
I wish you to find the way to life as soon as possible!
