Happiness may be as simple as the secret: do something

1. What is the difference between an active person and a routine person? In his book Reinventing Happiness, Mark Manson makes the point that some values that go against common sense can lead to a higher sense of well-being. For example, no matter who is wrong, you are responsible. Many people will have a victim mentality, and when they encounter problems, they always blame others or the external environment. This can calm oneself for a short time, and in the long run, it will only allow oneself to live in a kind of learned helplessness. There are two ways to change, one is to take responsibility for your own reactions. Even if we can't decide what others do, we can choose our own attitude towards it. As Victor Frank said in Living the Meaning of Life, everything that anyone can be taken away from is the only thing that is the ultimate freedom of being a person, no matter what circumstances, to choose the attitude you face and choose your own path. A lot of successful sales, too, have this mindset. Joseph · Based on his 16 years of experience in technical sales roles and extensive observations, Curtis summarized the five daily behaviors or ways of thinking of great salespeople, and wrote an article called "5 Things All Great Salespeople Do", which was published in the Harvard Business Review in December 2018. The first of these is this: The best salespeople own everything |. The second is the measure, which no longer sets its own standard as whether it is successful or not, but whether it is taken or not. Manson mentions a "do something" principle. He said that if we set the criterion of success as doing something, even if we don't get it done in the end, we will feel that failure is not a terrible thing. 】

2. [The example of the Albert Einstein Medical Center is mentioned in the book Radical Inclusion.] Patients get infected in hospitals, in large part because doctors don't wash their hands. Hand washing is a big burden for doctors. If you follow the rules, you have to wash it dozens or hundreds of times a day. One way to solve the problem is to use disposable gloves. But in some departments at the Albert Einstein Medical Center, it is a coincidence that the doctors here have small hands. The size of the gloves that are sent down is available in various sizes. As a result, this smallest glove was soon gone. Without gloves, naturally they are no longer worn, so the number of infected people here remains high. After discovering the problem, the solution is actually not complicated, that is, to ensure that the smallest glove tube is enough. As a result, the mortality rate of patients in these departments has dropped by 70% in one year. What a shocking number. 】

3. Functional MRI is now an important way for scientists to study the brain. Its most basic principle is simple. For example, if you give a specific task, when the participant performs this task, look at which area of the brain will increase the speed of blood flow, which part of the brain and this specific task are related. Now, scientists have a basic understanding of what each region of the brain is responsible for. 】

4. [There is a neuron in the brain that reacts to "surprise" and gives the brain a signal.] The brain does not respond to all information, and only those things that stimulate surprising neurons will be consciously processed by the brain. The things that inspire surprise neurons are the things we often say that surprise us. For example, you expect to have a handrail here, but there is nothing when you help it, and you almost stumble. Someone you know before doesn't usually pay attention to dressing up, but today suddenly appears in front of you. Stepping on the air, accidentally touching something, etc. are all things that will surprise us. These trigger surprise neurons. I remember a poem that says: Go to a far place, go to a far place, there is no scenery in a familiar place. The so-called landscape is something different from what we see every day, which stimulates our surprise neurons. This may be related to the brain's energy-saving patterns. 】

5. [There is an interesting experiment: the "status" experiment.] Each person has a playing card on their head, and the size of this card represents the level of your company in this game. A maximum, 2 minimum. People can talk like they are within a company, but they can't tell others what each person's card is. You need to estimate the size of your own cards by the content and attitude with which others talk to yourself. After a while, let these people line up according to the size of the cards they think they are. The result is that almost everyone can find their exact location. What's more interesting is that in the process of this game, everyone is actively looking for someone with a bigger head card to talk to. If the card on your head was 2, guess what the scene would be? You are trying to find someone with a bigger card to speak to, but the other person's attitude towards you may be to maintain a polite smile, and the other party is thinking about how to talk to which big names in his heart, what are you talking about, she/he has no brains at all. Also, even if you have a 2 on your head, will you go looking for another 2? The odds are also not. Back to reality, the so-called people whisper this meaning. Well, the voice from the front line cannot be heard, and the front line personnel do not work proactively, which is not a management or attitude problem. This is caused by the system. This is true in companies with a hierarchical system. This is why flat management is now popular. 】
