(Although this article will be helpful to you, it is expected to take 5 minutes to read, and you need to be patient to read it!) Are you ready?here we go!) We are, and will live, in an era and world of high volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. This era is also called the "Uka" era by Western scholars (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex complex, Ambiguous and ambiguous).
The ineffectiveness of global governance, the disorder of the international order, the geopolitical game, the clash of civilizations, the breeding of terrorism, the intensification of the two-tier differentiation brought about by capitalism, the impact of the epidemic, the natural disasters brought about by extreme climate change, the industrial changes and value transformation brought about by mobile Internet and big data, the economic development and employment challenges brought about by cyclical economic crises, various black swan and gray rhino events have come from time to time, the golden age of the world has passed, the silver age is also illusory, people feel confused and anxious, in the so-called "Uka era", what is our way of survival?
Today, I would like to talk about the four major ways of survival in the "Uka era" from the perspective of the big historical view and the big world view.
First, in the darkness, the ambiguity of the heart to the light, optimistic survival
From the perspective of the grand historical view, the development of human society and civilization is a history of spiraling forward and progressing in a struggle against harsh natural conditions, against oppressive political and religious forces, and against ignorance and barbarism. The reason why human beings can continue to make progress is that in the darkness and ambiguity, they have turned to the light, opened up Hongmeng with the optimistic humanistic spirit of adapting to the heavens and fighting against the heavens and the earth, and constantly realized self-liberation. If human beings had always crawled in the face of difficulties, they would have been eliminated and wiped out long ago. Only optimism can break through the darkness, overcome uncertainty, and dominate their own destiny. From the creed of "God is dead" sacrificed by Xi Zhe, human reason awakened, humanity truly rose, mankind embarked on a journey from the kingdom of necessity to the kingdom of freedom, and science became more and more enlightened, and mankind obtained the key and torch of optimistic survival, leaving the darkness behind. From the perspective of the grand world view, man is "the essence of the universe and the primate of all things", and man's spirit and thought have a tremendous power to change the world; the human nation is the process of continuous integration, civilization is the process of continuous integration, the world unity of Chinese civilization must be Noah's Ark for the future survival and development of human society, and today's conflicts and games are all episodes of future history and big world. Only with a spirit of heroic optimism can we survive crises. Chinese the world's earliest ability to control the outbreak confirms this. We do not rest on happiness, we do not reject sorrow, but we must take optimism as the spiritual background and the pillar of faith.
Second, learn to survive
Life is the result of learning. Continuous learning, continuous evolution, in order to continue to adapt, continue to develop, sustainable survival. Especially in today's rapid iteration of knowledge and information explosion, if people cannot maintain the motivation and ability of lifelong learning, it is difficult to be competent for the identity of a modern person. Only by maintaining a strong learning ability can we have a strong vitality. Learning is not just about mastering knowledge, but about being able to deconstruct knowledge, construct knowledge, reconstruct knowledge, and use knowledge to solve complex problems. In particular, it is necessary to master the "knowledge of knowledge", that is, meta-knowledge. We must continue to take the initiative to step out of our comfort zone and move towards the challenge zone and panic zone. Perseverance in learning ——- like you never die.
Third, the core value of survival
Everyone should discover and construct their own core capabilities and core values. Some people's core ability and core value are organizational management ability, some people are scientific research and technology development ability, some people are artistic ability, some people are sports ability, born of my own talent, rather useless? But most people, perhaps throughout their lives, find it difficult to discover and construct their core values and abilities. Therefore, the stone pillar of the ancient Greek Temple of Delphi is inscribed with this line: Man, please know yourself! Deafening and enlightening!
Fourth, flexible survival
Flexible survival is actually the wisdom of Lao Tzu. The so-called "good is like water", "with the world's softest, galloping the world's strongest", can not win!
Today, the production and manufacturing of enterprises must take the road of flexibility, so must the individual survival of people, you must have the ability to build on the core ability to be flexible and adaptable, you must have enough impact resistance, you must be able to withstand the crisis, which requires you to maintain enough investable assets (or knowledge capabilities, or material money... You can't just maintain an input-output pattern, otherwise, when the demand decreases and the demand changes, how will you adapt? You have to have on-demand value production capacity, small scale, multi-batch, diversified demand capacity. This is bound to be a great challenge to us, but it must be won. Otherwise, how do we achieve social evolution? When intelligent robots are about to become as smart as we humans, our only advantage may be creativity and emotion. Creativity and emotional power are the underlying logic of flexible survival.
