I once saw a very practical saying: "The level of cognition is not enough, no matter how hard it is, it is useless; the level of cognition is too low, no matter how hard it is, it is futile."

cognition determines a person's depth of thinking, career height and happiness index.

Throughout our lives, we are paying for our cognition.

follows the 28 law : distinguish the primary and secondary

In this fast-paced era, many people will feel that they are busy every day, but after a day, they don’t know what they are busy with. Day after day, they gradually enter the vicious circle of “blindly busy”.

Most people think that as long as you keep doing things, you can create efficient things. Little do you know that being busy with things is not clear, but only reduces your work efficiency.

Some netizens shared their day’s life.

Get up at 6 o'clock in the morning to prepare for a run, but it was halfway through. I remember that I still haven't finished reading half of the book yesterday.

When I got home, I read the book for a few pages and thought about what to eat for breakfast. When I was at work, I was determined to complete the work I had delayed before today. As a result, after a while, I remembered that the goods I bought online were shipped or not. After putting down my phone, I received a new job task.

After a day, I worked overtime, but I didn’t do anything and felt that I didn’t have enough time.

Economist Pareto said: "In any group of things, the most important ones only account for about 20% of them, and although the remaining 80% accounts for the majority, they are secondary." In life, if you want to move steadily, you must focus on the 20% focus and run towards the target, so that you can clear the clouds and see the bright moon.

"The wisdom of life lies in gradually clarifying and filtering out those unimportant impurities, while retaining the most important parts."

When dealing with people and things, we must see through the essence and grasp the key points. Only when you have some rewards can you make sense.

Reject empiricism: Don’t eat the old man

" Zhouyi " says: "If you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will be able to be able to last." People are in a difficult situation, and they should not stick to their inherent thinking. Knowing how to be flexible is the best strategy.

An English teaching blogger shared his work experience. After graduating from college, she entered the company through her own efforts. Later, due to poor management of the company, she was on the list of layoffs. After losing her job, her life fell to a low point.

At the beginning of that time, she was anxious every night, couldn't sleep, and couldn't see the future. Until one day, she found that there were many people listening to the class online, and found the opportunity for live teaching, and then changed her mind and made up her mind to build her own personal brand.

At first, her offline teaching model was difficult to adapt to online live broadcasts. To this end, she focused on studying other people's online course videos, learning their lectures, and combining her own characteristics to create her own teaching style.

Because she looks friendly, has clear pronunciation, and explains it in an easy-to-understand manner, she soon has a fixed audience.

"Only by breaking the inherent thinking and opening up the pattern, things will change new. If you just stand in place, you will not get new developments in the end." It is a good thing to learn lessons and achieve yourself. But if everything depends on past experience, you will fall into a vicious circle and you will not be able to find an outlet no matter how hard you work.

The development of life is changing with each passing day. If we do not update ourselves in time, we will be eliminated by the wave of the times without realizing it.

Only by maintaining an empty cup mentality and constantly improving skills can you have the confidence to start over from scratch at any time.

Know how to use the power to think: learn from others' strengths

The ancients said: "The good wind will rely on the power to send me to the sky." Only by mastering the use of power can you achieve twice the result with half the effort when encountering things.

Ming Dynasty Jiangnan "richest man" Shen Wansan , once made a living by selling medicinal materials.

He wanted to open a store, but knew that he was not good at speaking, so he invited a good brother-in-law to help him start a business. He knew that he was not good at arithmetic, so he also invited Chen Xiucai from the south of the city to help settle the accounts. Later, the business was booming and knew that he was too busy to do it, so he hired personnel from different professions to manage it.

After accumulating a certain amount of wealth, Shen Wansan took advantage of the market atmosphere at that time to start foreign trade. By sending precious and scarce silk abroad and bringing overseas things into China, he quickly became the "number one rich man" in Jiangnan at that time.

works behind closed doors, acts on your own, and can only walk on a narrow path; on the contrary, learn from others' strengths and borrows the power and thoughts of others, and the road will become wider and wider. On the one hand, we can make more friends with noble people and learn their vision and way of thinking; on the other hand, we can also use the big platform to amplify our personal influence.

Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. Wise people understand the principle of strong unity. Only by being good at leveraging others' strengths and making up for one's own weaknesses can one accelerate one's own growth.

号生分类 said: "A person's underlying logic is, the stronger his ability is, and the greater his achievements are."

can distinguish the primary and secondary of things and determine the priority, so that he can achieve twice the result with half the effort; reject empiricism, learn to learn from one example and learn to learn from one example and follow the times; master the thinking of leveraging power and know how to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and break through limitations.
