Li Xiaolai once said in the book "Time as a Friend": when he was 25 years old, when he went to college, the school was teaching the five-stroke input method, and he had always felt that what was the use of learning this? I won't be a typist in the future.
So he's always typing with two fingers.
Until one day, after talking to an unknown girl online for two hours in a row, he suddenly realized that he had been blindly beaten.
Only then did he truly appreciate the benefits of typing fast.
From this incident, he realized a truth: "Some things, even if they are simple common sense, need to be experienced personally to truly understand." Only with unparalleled typing speed can you appreciate the benefits of fast typing speed. ”
On this point, best-selling author Harvey Ike has made a similar point in his book Rich People Don't Think Differently.
"At the beginning of my course, I'll introduce you to the three most dangerous words, which are,' I know," he says. So, how do you know, do you really know? Quite simply, if you've experienced it in your life, you'll know it, otherwise you'll just hear it, read it, or talk about it, but you don't know it. ”
So you see, these two very successful authors almost all share the same view, which is that there are many things that you can't really know without experiencing them yourself.
In the case of falling in love, even if you have read countless stories about romance or intestines in fiction, you may still not know what love is.
Unless one day, you have really been in a relationship, you will really understand.
Wang Yangming, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, put forward the idea of the unity of knowledge and action hundreds of years ago, and this is also the truth.
Similarly, in order to keep in mind the truth that "knowing is not the same as really knowing", the great educator Tao Xingzhi changed his name three times in his life.
Tao Xingzhi's original name was Tao Wenjun, during his college years, he was deeply influenced by the Ming Dynasty thinker Wang Yangming's theory of "the unity of knowledge and action", and at the age of 19, he renamed himself "Tao Zhixing", believing that "knowledge is the beginning of action", understanding precedes practice, and only by having correct understanding can there be correct action.
After that, he gradually realized the importance of "doing", proposing that "action is the beginning of knowledge", there is practice to understand, after practice is real understanding, so at the age of 43, he changed his name to "Tao Xingzhi".
A few years ago, there was a saying that was very popular: after reading so many truths, I still didn't live this life well.
One of the big reasons why this is so is that many people read the knowledge or truth, think they already know it, and then it's over. And they didn't practice these principles, so of course nothing changed in their lives.
Therefore, when you really understand the truth that "knowing is not the same as really "knowing", you may learn a lot of good truths and good knowledge, and then take them to life to apply, and after practice, you will have a thorough understanding of this truth, and it is possible to change your life through these truths.
Management scientist Teacher Chen Chunhua said in the book "Value Symbiosis": There are many misunderstandings in people's understanding of knowledge, for example, some people regard other people's knowledge as their own knowledge, and in fact, other people's knowledge is only your information, you must make identification and judgment on other people's knowledge and transform, and then this information will become your knowledge.
So how do you internalize knowledge into your own?
On this point, many celebrities have given us pertinent advice.
Management scientist Chen Chunhua said: "Some people like to paraphrase other people's views to express their own understanding, which is not wrong, but if most of the time you rely on such a table expression, then it means that you have not mastered the knowledge, have not yet learned to internalize the data into personal information, then there is no prerequisite for mastering knowledge." ”
That is to say, in order to truly grasp some kind of knowledge, you must first turn the information you read into your own.
In this way, as the knowledge continues to be internalized, you can truly grasp this knowledge.
