Hello, I am A cat, today to share a wave of planetary insights:
1/ Stay away from entanglement
People often ask me questions about life choices on the planet, and I don't think it makes much sense because a lot of people's biggest problem is that there are too few good options.
You struggle with limited options for half a day, and the final result may only be a matter of 5 or 6 points, not much difference.
In turn, if you are entangled in whether to go to Peking University or the second book, then there is nothing to tangle, you need to be tangled, which means that the pros and cons of the option are almost the same, then naturally there is no need to tangle.
The most important thing people should do is to constantly expand their options, how to expand the options? It comes from daily learning and accumulation, surviving countless ordinary days.
Of course, what to learn, how to learn, this is very exquisite, this is what we need to entangle, to understand in depth, because it directly affects the final range of options.
Until one day when the option comes, you will find that there are so many choices and so many opportunities.
And the reason is still the same, and there is no need to be too entangled, because the result may only be a question of 8 points or 9 points.
Therefore, the coming of the choice is already a result, and your later life is not changed because of what you chose in the moment, but your previous life affects the option of the present.
Charlie Munger said that if you want something, you must first be worthy of him.
What you get is the option you face, and what you deserve is your daily accumulation.
The problem with too many people is that they are not willing to pay a long period of accumulation, but they are eager to choose a good option to change their fate immediately.
He also likes to talk about the phrase "choice is greater than effort" because he meets the public's deepest desire for unearned gains.
Choice is greater than effort, but effort affects optional, so do you think effort is important or choice is important?
When faced with the choice of A or B, it seems that the choice is important,
But effort affects whether you are available for better C and D, and effort is more important at this time.
2/ Stay away from the crowd
When there is one thing you want to do, but there are not many people around to do it, then there will be two forces pulling, the self and the herd.
At this time, to give yourself a little more strength, you have to consider more whether this thing is worth doing, not whether there is anyone else doing it.
Of course, you can also give yourself a little bit of herd power, that is, to read more celebrity biographies, and even success studies.
What these people do is basically a minority of individual cases, and the more you look at such cases, the more you are equivalent to following the crowd.
It's just that one "crowd" is an ordinary person who can be reached around, and the other "crowd" is an accomplished but untouchable person.
Think of it in reverse:
When there is one thing you don't want to do, but the people around you are doing it all.
You also need to give more self-power, reduce the influence of the crowd, and the most fundamental thing is to think about the value of this matter yourself.
Only then will it be possible for you to escape the fate of the "volume", because too many people feel that it is right to do more than one thing to have a sense of security.
So much so that more people make it, but the cake is the same, so everyone gives the same amount, but in the end they get less.
If you happen to be faced with something that you want to do, but many people are unwilling to do, on the surface you will be very uncomfortable, because how I am different from others, others will question you.
But the reality is that in this case, you have less pain in doing this thing itself, bring more benefits, and can even be happy, you just need to learn to get rid of other people's opinions of you and accept that it is different from others.
3/ Stay away from outside judgment
Seeing a good message will inspire a good side, the world is really good, there are so many good people.
Seeing bad comments will inspire the evil side, ugly world, and there are no good people.
However, nothing has changed in the real world, only your heart.
Since there is a choice in the inner change, it must choose the good side.
Because that's the mood.
When you are in a good mood, you will do better things, you can help others, and bring good messages to inspire good words.
You can live better and live longer, and vice versa, that's what Charlie Munger said:
Whenever you feel like something is destroying your life, that thing is you.
The idea of always feeling like a victim is the weapon that weakens oneself the most.
4/ Stay away from express
With a quick-track mentality in a few months, it often does not change for several years.
With a mindset of more than 3 years, change tends to come sooner than you think.
5/ Stay away from the things that don't cost money
Recently permed a hair, the first time in my life, after the perm did not expect good, but also very good, because the original head is too student. (Although I haven't taken a video recently, I haven't been idle to see if I can improve my appearance)
I haven't invested too much in the outside world since I was a child, but I don't pay attention to it, the main reason is that I think the cost performance is not high, and then there are 2 reasons: internal incompetence and poverty.
The main reason why I'm starting to invest now is that both of them have a certain foundation, and they also have to shoot videos.
My concept is that we must do these two things well, or have a certain foundation, and then engage in externality.
The importance of the inside and money goes far beyond the outside. (For boys, girls I don't think so)
Of course, it is also necessary to analyze the specific situation, and the nature of your profession often has to show your face every day, which is the host.
The proportion of the inner and outer may be five or five points, or if you see the customer every day, the proportion is seven or three.
6/ Stay away from desire
People should take the initiative to find the original happiness/success, and record the feelings of happiness at that time, because it is convenient to recall later, just like the feeling of turning out the photos of childhood to see.
For example, now that the public account has 200,000 fans, I think that even if it reaches 300,000, although I will be happy, I will not be particularly happy, because the feeling of change is not very big.
However, I remember when I first played the public account, I broke through 1,000 fans to open the original number function, and then 5,000 fans got the traffic master, and then to 10,000 fans, this mood is not only happy, but also very excited, this is the original happiness.
Another important point is to remind yourself that everything you get is not taken for granted.
So, even if you lose it one day, don't be too uncomfortable, not only the world is good to you, but also the people around you are good to you, learn to be grateful.
There is also the fact that there is not always so much happiness and success in life, and the older you get, the harder it is to get, so you have to learn to save happiness.
Or when life is bad, take out all the success and happiness you wrote about and relive it.
You will find that when you were once so happy, happy memories can also neutralize your current emotions.
7/ Stay away from black and white
Today I saw the devil's dad say that rich people talk about thinking and cognition 100% are liars, the most typical of which is Munger and Buffett. (Of course, as a self-media, he is actually using exaggerated methods to attract attention, not necessarily really thinking 100%).
I think that a person's thinking ability is too important, listening to the rich is more important, is it difficult to listen to the poor to talk about thinking?
Thinking is the level of the Tao, guiding your choices at the level of skill.
For example, the grandfather specializes in the art of concentration and provides various workplace suggestions, which is very good and very real.
I often recommend his number to everyone, but it can't just because of this to reject the change of Tao/thinking, the best thing about the two is to coexist and influence each other.
The most typical thing I observed is that the vast majority of people around me are only focused on the art, that is, the workplace promotion that my grandfather said, which is the case all my life.
The short-term does bring improvements and benefits, but never jumped out of the framework of the workplace, the longer the time, the more losses, because another person while working, while improving thinking, to think about whether there are other possibilities.
The most basic is the distribution of money, the promotion of passive income, the switching of tracks, and the choice of life.
That's why it is said: There is no way without technique, and the technique can still be sought. There is no way out of the art, and it stops at the operation.
Of course, Buffett actually provides a lot of technical aspects, but The grandfather does not understand it and generalizes it.
For example, Buffett's letter to shareholders talks about many of his techniques, such as 3 main profit models of undervaluation, holding, and arbitrage.
Including the smart investors he recommended, talking about the margin of safety, the circle of competence, the moat, etc., and even many people at that time imitated Buffett and Graham's own company.
Due to the lack of dissemination of these, the grandfather is not this profession naturally can not see, naturally see is the content of the thinking class, and finally came to the conclusion that rich people talk about thinking is a liar.
Therefore, the things that big v said really can't be fully believed, and he must have independent thinking, including anything that Ah Cat said.
There is also a reason why rich people like to talk about thinking, or the reason why I like to look at thinking, or the reason why I also like to talk about thinking, because quality thinking is basically permanent, and it is the underlying logic of things.
However, the art is really ever-changing, once in the past 10 years, and then once in a few years, it is easy for rich people to talk about the art and mislead you.
For example, Buffett's previous technique of buying stocks is to look at the price-to-book ratio, and this method will not work in the later period, where to find a company that breaks the net, and then optimize it into a high-ROE company that grows into a growth type, and then even Internet companies have begun to contact.
It is like the most popular way for ordinary people to earn money before is to learn finance to go to the bank or the four universities.
But now it is more and more common, are about to be replaced by artificial intelligence trend, where than the Internet enterprises, in a few years this will definitely change again.
Even some workplace skills will change, for example, you go to a state-owned enterprise may be more popular as a person, but you go to a foreign company, or the society is more and more developed, more important is your ability to produce efficiency, and it is not so important to be a person.
And only the thinking level is the most permanent, and once you change your thinking, your path will be much smoother.
The so-called "there is no way, the technique can still be sought", such as "Poor Charlie's Treasure Book" why I like, there are too many high-quality thinking worth constantly reviewing and re-examining, for my mastery of the art will become more effective with half the effort.
