Albert Einstein once said something that everyone is familiar with:
"If I had 1 hour to solve a problem, I would spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and another 5 minutes thinking about the solution. ”
Indeed, the power of thinking is far greater than everyone thinks.
If a person only takes out time and energy, blindly pays, and is numb and diligent, then it is impossible to achieve much in real life.
To put it bluntly, if a person lacks the necessary thinking power, then it is basically impossible to achieve something.
Just like thinking mentor Ye Xiu wrote in "Deep Thinking":
"Ordinary people like weeds, it's hard to get ahead. For us, there is only one ticket left for the competition in life, and that is the ability to think. ”
If a person wants to be able to stand out on their own, they can take their quality of life to new heights.
Then, it is necessary to continuously improve personal ability, strengthen personal strength, and constantly create your own wonderful.
It can even be said that the more critical the moment, a person's thinking power can determine the outcome of his life.
More important than hard work is to improve your thinking skills
In real life, what a person is most afraid of is blind effort, diligence without thinking.
If you don't think through something and think it clearly, but are impulsive and interested in doing it, the consequences will definitely make you regret, embarrass you, and even leave you bruised.
Really powerful people will always keep themselves awake and avoid repetitive, meaningless busyness.
Because when a person does not have time to think, he is likely to live like a walking corpse.
In the end, the whole person is exhausted and more and more tired, but the result is less and less what he wants to see.
As the sociologist Kahneman put it:
"Most people can do the endless busyness of repetition, but the difficult thing is to think, and without deep thinking, diligence is meaningless. ”
In real life, there are too many people who avoid effective, valuable thinking and then naively think that through long-term hard work and perseverance, they can achieve the results they want.
But the actual effect is that it is minimal, or even outweighs the loss.
Really smart people know how to observe, consider, and summarize before doing anything.
Then, avoid putting yourself in a passive situation.
As Meadows puts it:
When looking at a problem, take a little more time to stand in a vantage point that allows you to see the big picture from a vantage point, rather than being limited to the specific problem that appealed to you in the first place.
Smart people always know to allow themselves to avoid some repetitive, unproductive actions, pay.
But standing in a higher position, thinking about things and problems is more comprehensive, deeper, and more objective.
I especially like this sentence in "Upstream Thinking":
"The efforts of the upstream action are not so vigorous, but they are like still waters, and they have the power to make the world a better place for the better. ”
In this way, we can truly achieve twice the result with half the effort, and truly be able to stand in a higher position and achieve our own success.
This kind of success will bring you more effective growth, valuable harvests, and meaningful experiences.
Think in a higher dimension
The stronger a person's thinking power, the bigger his pattern will be.
To put it bluntly, when a person can open up his own thinking and improve his personal thinking ability, then the world he sees will become wider and more ambitious.
And in the whole process, a person can completely open his own eyes and make his thinking more active and dexterous.
At such times, you will find that no matter how big the problem is, the psychological pressure will not be so great.
Because you know very well that you have seen through the essence and have even reached the corresponding solution.
Therefore, your thinking path is logical, passable, and even masterable.
Amazon CEO Bezos once said:
"If you look at everything you do within three years, there will be a lot of people competing with you;
But if you look at the next seven years, there will be very few people who can compete with you, because very few people are willing to take such a long-term view. ”
So, in a sense, building your own strong thinking power is actually transforming your competitiveness and strengthening your competitiveness.
If you can think deeply and stand in a higher dimensional position, you can see through the essence of things and gain insight into the underlying laws of development.
Then your thinking power will definitely take you to a farther place, to a better world.
Think deeply and reinvent yourself
A person, in order to avoid deep thinking, is willing to spend more time and energy, or even pay a greater price in the future.
People with strategies, patterns, and foresight will definitely let themselves see further, think more clearly, and live more soberly.
Then, actively create a strong thinking ability, use personal ability and wisdom, thinking and pattern, and constantly improve their quality of life and life appearance.
Writer Ren Bai said:
"The main difference between man and man's destiny lies in the difference in thinking power. ”
In this life, people will experience all kinds of things, and we can only continue to know ourselves, refine ourselves, perfect ourselves, and transform ourselves.
In this way, in the process of transforming yourself, you can truly accumulate some more valuable and meaningful experiences and experiences.
At the same time, they can also transform their own thinking, create a high-level thinking mode, and truly make themselves live more transparently in this world, and become more independent and powerful.
Albert Einstein used to say:
"People solve the world's problems by their brains and their intelligence. Therefore, the fulcrum of the world is not the external environment, not the wealth you have, but your ideas, your way of thinking. ”
Therefore, for the rest of our lives, we just need to improve our thinking ability, constantly summarize our experiences and lessons, and know how to reflect and strengthen ourselves.
In the end, you can really rely on yourself to become better and better, and make your life more reliable and beautiful.
