A person's thinking determines his character traits. And his character traits determine his fate.
Why is thinking so important? First of all, every decision in life requires us to think carefully, and secondly, how to think is the key to solving various problems and finding a way out.
The most typical example is "Longzhong Pair". has not met Zhuge Liang yet, Liu Bei is also relatively confused, I don't know where the road is, Cao Cao is powerful, how can he defeat it?
After meeting Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei discovered his narrow-mindedness. Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei that if he wanted to revive the Han dynasty, he needed to form an alliance with Sun Quan and annex Jingzhou and Yizhou at the same time, so that he could defeat Cao Cao when the world changed.
When thinking about a question, we should pay attention to two points. The first is to spread the mind, and the second is to think both in the way and in the other direction.
The lack of reverse thinking is the root cause of countless low-level people who are difficult to turn over.
First, we should think about problems on the basis of "human needs".
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is such a plot, after Ma Tan lost the street pavilion, Sima Yi led an army of 150,000 to Xicheng. Zhuge Liang, who was in Xicheng, had no troops available, so he could only put up an "empty city plan".
Zhuge Liang stroked the piano on the city tower and flicked it, which shocked the Wei army under the city. Even Sima Yi was puzzled, which one is Zhuge Liang doing?
After thinking for a while, Sima Yi comprehended, and hurriedly pretended to be panicked, saying that Zhuge Liang had an ambush, and quickly commanded the army to retreat, and Zhuge Liang turned the corner.
Why was Zhuge Liang's move useful to Sima Yi? At that time, the most powerful enemy of Wei was Zhuge Liang of Shu Han, and the only one who could fight against Zhuge Liang in Wei was Sima Yi. Only if Zhuge Liang is alive, Emperor Wei will always reuse Sima Yi.
Sima Yi himself knew that if it weren't for the Cao family, no one could fight against Zhuge Liang, then he would have been robbed of military power a long time ago. The so-called "all the birds, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook" is this truth.
This empty plan is to think from the perspective of human nature. Sima Yi didn't want to be robbed of military power by Emperor Wei, and Zhuge Liang also wanted to return to Shuzhong, and that empty city plan just met the needs of the two people.
Second, only by working backwards from the results can you see through the world.
The thinking that comes with it has a certain amount of confusion. Countless people are led by the nose because they only have the thinking of going with the flow, and there is no "reverse" thinking.
Thinking along with the future is to follow the logic and reason according to the current situation of a thing. Reverse thinking, on the other hand, is to work backwards from the root cause of a thing based on the current situation.
Here's an example. The boss held a meeting and told the employees that I had been working in the company for a while, and I would become the chairman. As long as you work hard, the success of the company is your success, and the future of the company is your future.
The naïve and ignorant Jianghu Xiaobai will think along with it - as long as he works hard, he can become the chairman or leader of the company in the future. When you become the leader of the company, you can make more money. So, they tried their best like donkeys.
Really experienced veterans will think the opposite - the company is the boss's, and the boss says so much, but he just paints a pie for the employees, hoping that the employees will work harder. Employees work hard, and the boss can make a lot of money.
When others tell you so much, they all have a "purpose". The boss tells you a lot of high-profile words, just to fool you and make you obedient. Think about it, it's really beneficial, others have already taken possession, how can they think of us?
3. Rational benefit orientation will make us like a fish in water.
To be a man, be rational. The essence of rationality is to start from the benefits of reality to make judgments and choices.
What is rationality? Thinking without emotional bias is rationality. Ordinary people basically can't be rational because we are all prone to emotion.
There is a case. Wu Zetian sat in the position of the queen of heaven, and after Li Zhi's death, he ascended the throne and became the emperor. How can we stabilize the situation between the DPRK and China and at the same time defend the world?
Wu Zetian is very smart and knows the imperial mind of "checks and balances". She knows that as long as it is a human being, there must be advantages and disadvantages, and only by grasping a person's strengths and weaknesses can the purpose of checks and balances be achieved.
In order to balance a group of old ministers, Wu Zetian reused cool officials and spies, such as Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen, so that some old ministers did not dare to have other thoughts. At the same time, in order to balance the cool officials, Wu Zetian reused virtuous ministers and celebrities, such as Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia.
The characteristics of cool officials are ruthless and unscrupulous, and they can be used to deal with people they don't like. The characteristic of a virtuous minister is that he knows how to govern the world. Wu Zetian's skill of checks and balances allowed her to sit firmly on the position of empress.
True rationality is to put aside the so-called good and evil, and truly make the best use of things and make the best use of people's talents. In this regard, the bosses and leaders are very handy, but they don't tell you.
Write to the end
Why don't the bosses and leaders tell these cruel truths to the workers? It's very simple, let you know, won't you be disobedient?
If the boss tells you directly, I say so many high-profile words just to brainwash you and make you obedient, then do you think you will be willing to work for the boss?
Therefore, the boss will be full of benevolence and morality on the surface, but the truth behind it will not say a word. In this way, as a worker, you think that the boss is good, so you will work hard for the boss.
In everything, we must know how to think "backwards". Otherwise, you will only be cut leeks for a lifetime.
