A student wanted to study abroad. His parents asked Ning Xiangdong Professor: Which country is the best to go to? Which prestigious school do you go to? Which major has the most valuable content?
Unexpectedly, Professor Ning said: You are going abroad and you are not serious in class! The important thing is to travel, meet and talk, and look around.
Professor Ning said that after hearing his words, the poor child collapsed and was completely at a loss. People with different cognitive levels will have difficulty communicating.
Different people see different worlds.
There is a very famous story about a mother who came back from shopping with her underage daughter, and her daughter drew a picture of her shopping with Moma.
Mom stared at her daughter's painting, and was suddenly shocked: there was no traffic, no tall buildings, and no attractive bags in her painting. Just one after another, strange pillars...what did my daughter draw? My mother studied it for a long time before she suddenly realized it. Her daughter painted a painting of human legs. It turned out that my daughter was young and very short. She was held by her mother. When she walked on the street, she could not see the traffic of the commercial buildings that adults saw.
All she saw was the thighs of countless adults, swaying and covering her eyes. People with different cognitions see different worlds.
A person's cognitive level limits his level.
When I was a kid, I lived in a very poor country. Every year, the village distributes sweet potatoes and are harvested in piles. It seems similar, but it seems to be different. So for fairness, the whole village will draw lots, and whatever you catch is considered a pile of things. One villager caught No. 6, and another villager also caught No. 6. How do you get two 6? In fact, one of these two villagers is No. 6 and the other is No. 9. The problem is that the No. 6 pile is obviously larger than the No. 9 pile, so both villagers said they are No. 6 and refused to give in. Quarrel, quarrel, fight, and cause trouble for the village party secretary. The village party secretary looked over and found that the sweet potato pile No. 9 was obviously smaller than No. 6. He decisively took out two sweet potatoes from his sweet potato pile and put them in the No. 9 pile, and finally resolved the dispute. Then the village party secretary sneered: "These two goods are the promise of a sweet potato." In the later stage, it happened.
After graduating from university, I went back to the countryside to see two families quarreling over sweet potatoes. The family's family is broken and poor. Another family has nothing but four walls.
The people on the lower level cannot see the scenery on the upper level.
Human cognition is like a huge sinkhole, arranged in a funnel-shaped manner. The further you go, the less you see, the less opportunities you will feel, the more you feel the injustice and anger of society. The higher you go, the more you see, the more opportunities you see, the more you feel that the world is beautiful and the scenery is unlimited.
stupidity is better than wisdom. People trapped at the bottom of the cognitive funnel cannot see the scenery of the upper class cognition and cannot understand what the more enlightened people are saying.
So Professor Ning Xiangdong from Tsinghua University taught this child who was going abroad not to be serious in class, as the child would be very confused.
Among the nine cognitive levels, which level are you at?
We can analyze the cognitive funnel, which is roughly divided into nine levels:
1, the bottom layer, only knows likes and dislikes.
This is the infant tense. Humans eat when they are hungry, regardless of the occasion; no matter where they are, try to pull as much as possible. This is also an extremely emotional group.
The confusion of insufficient cognition always puts them in an embarrassing situation, but they cannot find a solution.
For example, in the TV series " in the name of the people ", the worker king of Dafeng Factory is the victim. His equity was taken away by corrupt officials and profiteers, so he was furious and put a knife on the neck of the veteran cadre Chen Yanshi. As a result, Comrade Wang and the corrupt officials went to prison together.
There are many such people in reality who can never get out of their emotions in their entire lives. The so-called rights protection is nothing more than the catharsis of despair.
2. The children guided by Professor Ning Xiangdong are this level of cognition.
This kid doesn't understand at all. What is not important in the book, what matters is your knowledge and cognition.
The reason why my father sent you abroad was not to let you study, but to make you an adult, to let you understand the universal human nature and universal social laws, and to gain more valuable cognition in the differences between different societies.
3. Recognize the limitations of rules.
The most obedient children are also the most worry-free, sensible and obedient children in the school. However, most of these children will encounter setbacks and failures when entering society.
Because this kind of child is afraid to talk nonsense.
You can get out of fear until you know that many so-called "rules" are just inertia inherited by adult society out of worry.
From here, there is a secret line between the rich and the poor.
People who are too emotional, stick to the rules and are full of fear will feel huge pressure to survive and must continue to break through.
4. Know right and wrong, and know the general.
Learn the rules, being well-behaved and obedient is a requirement for children.
When you grow up, your ability to move will also improve. You must distinguish right from wrong and know that some things cannot be done and some things cannot be said, that is, follow the mainstream values of society.
Even if this value is completely wrong, it is the only system to maintain the operation of society.
So, this is a stage where you are passionate and strive to prove yourself to the world. But if you cannot surpass this stage, you will not be able to break through yourself.
5. Recognize the limitations of right and wrong.
Everyone at this stage knows that human society is developing and changing. Some seemingly unbreakable golden rules will become obsolete as history develops.
At this time, people begin to think, act, and accept an uncertain world. No longer stubborn, no longer stubborn.
knows that the world in everyone's eyes is different, and knows that everyone's cognition and value system are completely different. Be gentle, don’t lose your temper, don’t get emotional, and your life situation begins to change.
6. Recognize the limitations of real resources.
What do you mean by "realistic resource limitations"?
Just like when I was a child, I distributed sweet potatoes in the countryside, and the number of sweet potatoes was limited. If you get one more, I will have one less here.
No matter how these sweet potatoes are distributed, it is absolutely unfair:
is calculated by population, and people with strong labor force in the family do not work; according to the contribution of the labor force, poor and weak families may go hungry.
All human anger, conflict, grievance and confrontation come from the lack of resources. The scariest thing in modern society is attention resources. Using power to fight for scarce social attention has brought huge troubles to more people. Here, there is an invisible survival line. People at this level are all people with certain survivability. They can survive in poor and cold countries; in developed countries, they constitute the middle class; in our corner, they are the backbone of society, with great pressure and no worries about food and clothing. It is that their hearts are always worried because they are in the middle, calm and have no roots to follow. Then keep going.
7. Understand the development of mankind.
People's development is your choice and effort that can change your environment and destiny.
For example, 20 years ago, Jack Ma looked for jobs everywhere and applied for police academy with friends. 5 people went there, 4 of them were taken, but failed. Finally, Jack Ma started his own company and started his business. There are videos online that he was being condemned when he was working on his business.
Take Dong Mingzhu as an example. She lost her husband at the age of 30, dragging her 2-year-old child, and facing endless pressure on life. When the child was 8 years old, she decided to entrust her mother to raise the child and go to the south for an internship alone.
At the most difficult moment, she never gave up. She just started as a salesperson, gradually started her own business, and finally became the chairman of Gree Group.
There are many more people who are still working in obscurity. They will not be Jack Ma, nor will they be Dong Mingzhu. However, when they walk through a long life path and look back on the past, they will find that their living situation has changed dramatically. So, this is a "economic freedom line".
Those who are good at observing trends and dare to act will always encounter their unique opportunities.In fact, there are many such strange people who have improved their self-awareness, walked out of the trough of their destiny through their own choices and efforts, and gained better opportunities to look forward to the future.
20 years ago, Jack Ma had extraordinary insights. Instead, the staff member still sticks to the “rules”, so the ultimate way out and opportunity are different.
8. Recognize human nature and social laws.
Understand human nature, to put it bluntly, it means understanding yourself. To realize the entanglement and incompleteness of one's heart is to realize the inherent pain of everyone; to realize that people's performance in society is full of endless contradictions and confusion; to recognize a person's childhood shortcomings will constitute a trap that he will never get out of in his life.
At this time, you will no longer have hatred or complain about others. Because you know that all sentient beings suffer, but nothing can cause trouble.
For example, Li's golden sentence: The world is not worth it. Then cheer up and be happy.
9. Recognize the highest meaning and value of life.
If you break through the mystery of human nature, you have the opportunity to reach the peak of wisdom. At this time, my mood was clear, I had no pain or worries, I had insight into the origin of the world, and I understood the value and meaning of life. This is another new starting point for human cognition. The boundless freedom of the mind, and the spiritual realm inspired by compassion. This is our perception, climbing up step by step from the bottom of the funnel. Going further, every line will feel like you suddenly realize it. When you rise to the next level, you will get endless spiritual pleasure. At the level of your perception, your life will be in which state.
People with wealth have the urge to pursue wisdom because they have the power to act. People who only have book knowledge are mostly out of touch with wealth because of their lack of ability to act. In our lives, we often only see one boat, but not the river, and even outline the beautiful scenery on both sides of the straits. Therefore, Professor Ning Xiangdong suggested that adult children should read thousands of books and go thousands of miles. The purpose of reading is to give you clear cognition and decisive action.
Don't be too utilitarian. In this world, what humans compete with is not credit scores, famous teachers or professional subjects, but your ultimate understanding of yourself and society. Speaking of pattern, mind, vision, and ultimately speaking, all about cognition.
How do you view yourself? How do you view this world? How do you view the world and people’s hearts?
When you understand and think clearly, your heart will be quiet and your work will be calm. His manner also became elegant and decent.
People who don’t know enough will fall into their own hearts. All I can see is something meaningless, and I try my best to seek it but can't change my destiny.
At what level of your cognition, your life will be in what state.
If you are unhappy, unhappy, always feel stressed or painful, or feel self-pity for your destiny, then organize your heart.
Life is short and limited. Anyone who walks to the end with pain will miss this life.
crawls out of the funnel of cognition, no longer a frog that looks at the sky from the well. You will meet your own destiny, accept yourself, be at the peak of wisdom, look at the diversity of views, and look at the colorful fallen leaves.
A beautiful world comes from a beautiful life, from an open-minded and bright cognition, and from a peaceful state of mind. #How to improve one's cognitive level#
