In our life journey or career planning, we often choose the wrong choice when making strategic choices, and the fundamental reason is that we have no strategy in life.
What is a strategy?
Strategy is that you do one thing in advance before you do something, and this thing affects the overall situation of your thing, and then you win, this thing is called strategy.
Therefore, when we choose strategy in life, we must actually be based on a kind of life prediction before things happen, which is a form of choice in strategy.
So usually in strategy, such as the scene of a war, before there is a war, the military commander will sit in front of the sand table and rehearse over and over again.
Some time ago I watched a movie, I guess you have all seen "Chosin Lake No. Water Gate Bridge", you can see a lot of wars, the battlefield is less to win more examples, why is it less than more?
It is because although the number is small, but through the strategy can put the superior resources in the heavy place, so it will definitely win victory in the battlefield.
In fact, there are many battles in history, including to the present, that are won with less and more and then won. In fact, you can look at a kind of history in our lives in the past to effectively see how we can really achieve a victory in our life strategy.
When we achieve a victory in our life strategy, there is strategic thinking behind it, and you know how to use the art of war, which is the core key.
So in the middle of a war, one of the keys to how we can win is that we have to understand in advance, we can make a plan in advance, what does this plan mean?
Most people are less likely to make strategic choices because you don't have the ability to predict the future, but as a leader, as a leader in the sense of life, predicting the future is a standard.
A lot of times people ask me, what are you doing with your own business? I actually predict the future at my desk every day.
Because each business sector has a relevant business leader to be responsible, most of my time, my left hand is used to learn and grow, because I am the chief content officer of the team, so I must control our content and control the related products of our content, including our own competitiveness in content.
The second thing I think I also spend 70% of my time doing strategy-related things, what kind of path are we going to take in the future? Because sometimes there has to be someone on the team to study what the future holds.
Some time ago, I watched an interview with Mr. Li Ka-shing, in which he said that he only had about 20% of his time to deal with the business development at that time every day, but 80% of the time was thinking about the strategic development of the enterprise, and he was constantly studying what else to do every year, and what to do would have the advantage of leadership, in fact, this is the research on strategy.
Since we have the ability to predict the future in research, we may wish to look at how some of the most famous figures in history did it.
In fact, to understand some different battles, such as the Battle of Menglianggu that we first studied, this is actually a very good classic case of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China winning more with less during the war, and everyone can also go to understand according to the case I said.
In addition, in the campaign to resist US aggression and aid Korea, in fact, there were also about how we could repel the US army in difficult times, especially in the Chosin Lake Campaign, which was actually about how we could get surprises under unexpected circumstances by others.
In "Sun Tzu's Art of War", in fact, the two concepts of strange soldiers are particularly studied, first of all, what is strange soldiers?
In fact, it talks about two kinds of soldiers, one is a regular soldier, the other is a strange soldier, of course, there are some people who call qi (qi) a strange (ji) is OK, one is regular warfare, and the other is to surprise.
In fact, in the "Art of War of Sun Tzu", it has been repeatedly emphasized that winning more with less is the wisdom of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", which is about if the strength of the two armies is equal, it must be strength or luck.
But how can we compare the strength of the other side, say one-tenth of the other side's strength, and in this case we can still win?
This is what Sun Tzu's Art of War talks about is a basic concept called total victory, and he once used a sentence to describe total victory, called "a soldier who does not fight to yield to others", what is "a soldier who does not fight to yield to a man"?
In fact, the core of it is that I don't fight, but I can still win the war. How exactly did this come about? In fact, this depends on heroism, wisdom, and strategy.
Therefore, this kind of conspiracy is a kind of conspiracy in a very special sense, and it is also very powerful, so if you can win in this kind of battle repeatedly, you must have the guidance of a high person behind it, or have the way of the battle.
In fact, back to our lives, you see life in the battle, how do we get to victory?
The first is for example, in which city is we going to go to for the college entrance examination? It's related to strategic choices, such as who do we decide to marry and who to marry? This is also related to strategy, where is your home to buy a house? This is related to strategy, what kind of industry do you choose? When did you decide on a promotion and a raise? When did you decide to start a business?
It's all about strategy, and everything in the planning is about strategy.
When it comes to planning, when it comes to planning, that is, you have to think through the current IQ and the current brain, plan future things, which is related to strategy.
Therefore, all the people who will not win in the strategy are all people with blind spots in the strategy, so they must complete their self-cultivation strategically.
When you can have such wisdom, you know that reading strategy is a very important thing, in fact, not only reading strategy, it is in our every day, every part of our lives, in fact, related to strategy, why?
Because strategy is essentially an efficient way of allocating resources based on resource allocation.
You think that the resources in your life are limited, no matter how much money you have, in fact, your money has a number, this number is limited, you have more time a day, but you only have 24 hours a day, so your time and your energy and your money are limited, how to do the best allocation in the case of limited resources?
You say like some people that I can do a lot of things, but if you want to ask you how many things you can do, there are still a limit to what you can do.
You originally had 100,000 yuan, but you spent 10,000 yuan on everything, you did a total of 10 things, and the cost of each thing you could invest was 10,000 yuan, and at this time there was no big power.
So when you only have 100,000 yuan, you have to try your best to make 100,000 yuan smash out of a pit, only to reduce the end of your investment, such as what you are not accurate or some areas that you do not understand, you may no longer invest, but spend some time to invest in some things that you can understand and can bring you great benefits, which is called concentrating superior forces.
This is especially true for a person's time, for example, your time is very limited, you only have 15 hours of waking time in a day, you do eight things, and each thing is actually allocated no more than 2 hours.
But if you only do two things, each thing can be allocated 7.5 hours, with 7.5 hours to do a good job of this long-term cultivation of the effect of the power is definitely not the same as the effect of doing things in 2 hours, you must witness the power of time compound interest.
So the choice of strategy will determine your resource allocation will allow you to concentrate on doing big things, but what kind of things to choose, which must be a basic point that you need to be able to see effectively.
