Success can be divided into two types: external success and inner success.

External success, that is, worldly success, such as: career, income, status, power, family, relationships...

Inner success is your inner feelings, such as: happiness, satisfaction, achievement, security, freedom...

A person who is really doing well must be a person who works hard both outwardly and internally.

So, how can you have both external and internal success?

The key is two things:

External - Insight into the underlying logic

Inward - Build deep growth

Today we will first share with you the external - insight into the underlying logic, October 6 will launch the internal - build deep growth.

Stay tuned!

Gain insight into the underlying logic

1. Master the fate of the workplace

Most people will go through at least two different jobs in their lifetime.

Among them, some people have encountered workplace problems and actively sought transformation, while others have been forced to transform because of the development of the times.

Whether active or forced, when faced with the problem of workplace transformation, many people are at a loss, and their minds are full of confusion and uncertainty.

So, how can you control your own career destiny and successfully transform at any time?

2. Be a person who combines knowledge and action

In this era of knowledge and information explosion, many people will hang "I know" on their lips.

But "knowing" is different from "knowing".

The first layer of knowing is "knowing" that stays on the language and writing;

The second layer of knowing is the "knowing" of "cutting skin";

The third level of knowing is the "knowing" of "the unity of knowledge and action";

"Only know that it is not ok", that is, to learn is to learn, to do is to do, and in the end there is no use, everything is just spiritual masturbation.

So, what exactly can be done to achieve the unity of knowledge and action?

3. Practice the best strategy in life

There are two strategies for life:

The first: traditional life strategies.

The key to this life strategy is that if you want to succeed, you must be good at discovering your shortcomings, and then try to improve these shortcomings and make up for that shortcoming.

At the same time, for the advantages, just keep it.

The second: a strength-based life strategy.

The key to this life strategy is that if you want to succeed, you must pay attention to your talents and strengths, and exert your strengths on talents and advantages.

At the same time, it is enough to manage the vulnerability so that it does not hinder the achievement of the goal.

So, which life strategy is right? Why?

4, become a big thing, not anxious

There are many causes of anxiety, and one of the most important reasons is "rush" – the rush to achieve a goal.

However, the more anxious you are to achieve your goals, the harder it is to achieve them; the more anxious you are, the more disappointed you are, and the more you are disappointed, the more anxious you are.

What to do?

First, learn to wait.

Second, be prepared.

In the waiting, day after day to consolidate your "bottom cornerstone", let yourself slowly become stronger, strong enough that when the opportunity suddenly comes, your ability can withstand the opportunity.

People who can achieve great things are not anxious, because he knows that in a person's life, if he can do these two things well, he will inevitably get closer and closer to success.

So, what should be done?

5. Resist the entropy increase of the mental model system

Entropy represents the degree of chaos, or disorder, of a system - the more disordered the system, the greater the entropy value; the more ordered the system, the smaller the entropy value.

Therefore, only when you are constantly fighting against your entropy, making entropy negative, and disorder becoming orderly, can you live in order in this uncertain world.

Otherwise, you will live more and more messy, and the more you live, the more desperate you will be.

So, what exactly can be done to combat the entropy increase of the mental model system?

6. Have super learning ability

One of the best ways to combat entropy increase is to make yourself a "lifelong learner."

However, the troubles for many people are:

I want to study, but only 24 hours a day, 8-10 hours to work, 7-8 hours to sleep, the remaining 6-8 hours to take care of family, eat, wash, commute, there is no whole block of time to study.

This, in fact, is the biggest misunderstanding of learning, because learning itself is fragmented.

So, how can we improve the efficiency and effectiveness of learning in fragments and at a fast pace?

7. Know how to learn from the master

How to become a master in a field?

The quickest way to do this is to see how the "best people" in the field do it.

What is their path of thinking? What is their strategy? What details did they do that others didn't? Then, look back at yourself, look for gaps, find causes, and then find solutions.

8. Control the flow of time

I often say, "Wherever your time and money go, your life will go."

Although this is a simple sentence, it is one of the important underlying logics of life.

There are many ways in which time flows, three of which are very important: dark time, mindful time, and black hole time.

What is Dark Time? What is mindfulness time? What is black hole time? How do we use these three types of time?

9. Understand the highest level of cognition

If a person does a lot of good things, it is impossible to do bad things?

Isn't it contradictory that you said you were going to jump out of your comfort zone last time and now you're talking about finding your sweet spot?

These are very typical and universal "dualistic" worldviews. People who uphold this worldview are accustomed to making "either-or" or "black-and-white" judgments, judgments, or decisions in their lives and work.

A person with mature thinking understands that a thing has positive and negative sides, and the positive and negative are one and can be transformed into each other.

This, too, is the highest level of cognition.

But how do you get this highest level of awareness?

Final words

Thank you for your companionship and love, I hope we will continue to gain insight into the underlying logic and grow deeply here!

Success is never an easy task, but if your method is right, as long as you keep insisting, you will find that it is not so difficult.

I wish you an early realization of your external and inner success! Happy Holidays!
