The really powerful people are not opportunists, but long-termists.
As the saying goes, "pull the cart with your head down, look up at the road".
This means that when pulling the car, you must bow your head and make steady efforts. At the same time, look up at the road from time to time to ensure that the direction and goal are correct.
Look at those who are really good, and the reason why they can achieve things is like this: while looking up at the road, they walk with their heads down.
Most people work hard only to move themselves
Friend Xiao Dan is doing course content development in an education and training institution, because of the impact of the "double reduction" policy, their industry is drastically laying off employees, and one person does the work of several people.
A few days ago, because of cough and fever, I went to the hospital, scared myself to think that I had new crown pneumonia, and the result was confirmed to be mycoplasma infection.
Xiao Dan sleeps at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night for more than 5 days a week, plus the diet is not nutritious, and the immunity is getting lower and lower.
She laughs at herself that she is now "only working, not living".
I asked her what she was planning, she had been working for five or six years, but the more she worked, the more she worked, and her salary did not rise much. She said that when the layoffs came to her head, she would think again, and now she had time and just wanted to sleep.
This reminds me of the "hamster wheel", the little hamster runs hard every day with his head down on the hamster wheel, but he is already in a dilemma, even if he tries his best, he can't go out.
In this way, just walking with your head down, without direction and goal, even if you go fast, you will only move yourself.
These two years of online course learning have become an important channel for many people to recharge their batteries.
Colleague Yangyang yang in the unit to do a clerk post, is also the office of the "learning master", bought himself a lot of online classes, subscribed to a lot of columns, learned "leadership training", participate in various lecturer training.
On the weekend, I have to attend many offline classes, invest a lot of money in myself, and keep myself dizzy.
However, he has been working in his own job for more than two years, and he has not changed much, but he has become more and more anxious.
"Do you know what your goal is?" I asked him.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but I know it's definitely right to follow the trend, and I don't want to press my body." He laughed.
Know how to see the trend is not wrong, but just look left and right, and finally sesame seeds, watermelon can not be picked.
If you always look up at the road and don't focus on the output of action, false growth will only make you more confused.
Strategize the overall situation and jump out of "short-sighted thinking"
The difference between a master and an ordinary person is often that the master has the ability to look at the overall situation.
Dong Mingzhu, as the "Iron Lady" of Gree Electric Appliances, in participating in "Us Who First Entered the Workplace", in addition to letting people see her fierce and strict and serious side, she also saw her ability to think clearly and see problems directly to the essence.
In one of the issues, when Gree employees proposed to do the "Miss Dong Afternoon Tea" activity, Dong Mingzhu said that "I don't think this topic is very clear."
What is the theme of this event?
Who is the audience, female bosses, women or young people?
About the purpose of the event is to sell products, or a collision of ideas?
These questions are critical.
Because the goal is clear, the direction will not be blurred, the force will be accurate, and the work can be done with half the effort.
This is just for an event, the goal is clear, the direction is clear, the event is done; for a huge enterprise, looking at the overall situation can win.
In the face of the rapidly changing world now, people with foresight have looked up at the good road early, chosen the "way forward", and also optimistic about the "way out".
The rigidity of thinking will make the road narrower and narrower, and eventually there is no way out.
This is the same principle revealed in "The Nature of Poverty": in order to survive, the poor pay more attention to the immediate life and cannot plan for the long-term goal; if they do not plan for the long-term goal, they can only be trapped in solving the immediate problem of survival. This is the endless cycle of poverty.
Like getting rid of poverty, if you want to get rid of the limitations of thinking and have the same overall ability as a master, you must remember 2 points:
Learn to plan: Make long-term plans for what you have to do, and break it down into stages, goals, key issues, and specific implementation methods.
Improve cognition: The gap between ordinary people and powerful people is the gap in cognitive level. After entering information through reading and outputting actions through practice, we can get rid of "short-sighted thinking" after our thinking is broadened.
"Ordinary people are trapped by the innings when they enter the game, and the masters break the game to make a set-
At the end of the day, it's the perspective of the game that is different.
Focus on your feet and train hard to get things done
Zeng Guofan once said:
"When a mortal does something, he must devote himself to it with all his spirit, and he must be unremitting from beginning to end, and he will not see any change of thoughts, and he will do so and think like that, and sit on this mountain and look at that mountain."
Doing things, focusing and concentrating must come first.
Doing things with such a single concentration, doing more, and doing more continuously can make things happen.
Some time ago, I saw a training schedule for Chinese women's volleyball girls preparing for the 2018 Asian Games.
Every day, I get up at less than 6 o'clock, eat breakfast at 6:30, and start a 45-minute morning training at 7:30.
The training starts at 8:15 a.m. and lasts for 5 hours, followed by lunch and lunch break at 1:00 a.m. for 2.5 hours.
Training continues at 3:30 p.m. until 7 p.m., followed by dinner time.
1.5 hours of business learning starts at 8:00.
It was not until 9:30 a.m. that the day's training ended, and a few injured players were treated for injuries.
From the training time of the Chinese women's volleyball girls, it can be seen that they focus on physical training for about 10 hours a day, and the time for focusing on mind training is about 2 hours.
Long-term focused training allowed them to show amazing results on the field that year:
The Chinese women's volleyball team, eight games and one inning, after eight years, regained the Asian Games championship.
Such a focused training plan is suitable for everyone who wants to go well in the current path and is eager to break through to the promotion.
The first step is to be as specific as possible about the goals you plan to go to.
Find a way to quantify your goals, such as as being a writer, then my goal is to write a 100,000-word book and publish it.
The second step is to reverse the decomposition of the target, and finally to the exact date of what to do each day.
For example, at the beginning of the year, when the new book is listed in December, the publishing process will be followed in November, including review, binding and printing; the manuscript will be delivered in October, and the manuscript must be completed in September, and the final draft will be revised for one month.
The whole book is 100,000 words, according to the calculation of writing 1,000 words in two hours a day, it takes almost 4 months, and then reserve a month of buffer, a total of 5 months.
Then you have to start writing in April, and you have to sort out the materials in February and March, and contact the publisher.
If it's January, I need to organize what I want to write, browse the works in related categories, and first write an article in the same direction to collect everyone's opinions.
The first step starting tomorrow is to "make a list of similar works" and the project starts.
Sometimes people can't focus because they don't know what to focus on.
In this way, the precise push is reversed to each day, and the original complex and vague goal is very clear.
The third step is to make the plan visible.
Filling the environment with triggers is definitely an important skill to help us focus and promote sustained focus, such as using Excel as a schedule as a computer desktop, using Gantt charts to show the progress of the entire plan, or pasting the content of the plan execution everywhere.
As long as you believe in cause and effect, this plan will work for you.
We always think that the strong are because of their talent, but in fact, all the strength of the masters has traces to follow.
The really powerful people are not opportunists, but long-termists. Focus on your feet and strategize the big picture.
I hope that we can all become great people and be at the helm of life.
