is always worried that people will be laughed at if they don’t do well, they are worried that they will offend people if they don’t handle interpersonal relationships well, and they are worried that they will not be able to make money and live an ideal life.

faces various non-repetitive problems every day (growth, work, interpersonal communication and other aspects). Fearing these problems,

is tortured by these problems and is helpless. He may go to major Internet platforms to find answers, or even pay for consultation, but in the end he still treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

Why? Because the speed of solving problems can never keep up with the speed of the problem, new problems are constantly arising from every minute and every second.

got the answer to this question, but what about the next question? I don't know how to start again! In fact, to put it bluntly, what is really lacking is not the answer to a certain question. What

lacks is the understanding of the underlying logic of this world. The key to the problem is, what is the underlying logic of this world? What is the fundamental law?

For example, on August 23, 1917, the teacher wrote a long letter to Li Jinxi , both teachers and friends, focusing on expressing his views on the "original origin".

In that letter, he commonly described "original origin" as "the truth of the universe" and said that he "only took full time to explore the original place of the great foundation. When you have the discussion, it is naturally enough to explain everything."

In the eyes of this teacher student, "big roots" is the underlying logic that can explain the world.

For example, in August 1937, 20 years later, the teacher wrote " Contradiction " in the cave in Yan'an.

In "Contradiction ", the teacher wrote: "The fundamental reason for the development of things is not outside of things but inside of things, but in the contradiction within things."

"The law of contradiction between things, that is, the law of unifying opposites of , is the fundamental law of nature and society, and therefore also the fundamental law of thinking."

Therefore, "contradiction" is the root of the development of all things, and the Contradiction Analysis Method is the cognitive system that we want to establish, full of certainty. The essence of the cognitive system

is to look at problems with a contradictory perspective at any time and solve problems with a contradictory method at any time.

For example, when encountering a thing, you must first analyze its internal contradictions. There are several pairs of contradictions related to it, which pair is the main contradiction, what are the internal factors, and what are the external conditions?

You must learn to look at both in the long run and in front of you; to look at both the overall and the partial; to look at both the phenomenon and the essence.

also needs to find a way to figure out what its past is and what its development trend is; what universal laws it applies to, what specialities it has, and under what conditions can the opposites transform each other... The above dazzling set of operations,

is the skeleton and ideas of the cognitive system. Of course, this was not what I thought out out of thin air. These are all from the perspectives and methods in "Theory of Contradiction".

When a person truly understands many things and can reconcile with himself, this person can live more clearly.

"Those who spend half a second can see through the essence of things and those who spend their whole life cannot see through the essence of things, are destined to have completely different destinies."

But throughout history, few classics have clearly explained how to operate "seeing the essence through phenomena". In fact, behind "seeing the essence through phenomena" is the strong thinking and logic ability to support it.

And "Selected Works of Mao Zedong not only teaches us how to see the essence through phenomena, but also teaches us a complete set of methodologies for understanding, analyzing and solving problems.

Among them, " Practical Theory " teaches me how to correctly understand things and shape a new worldview;

"Theory of Contradiction" teaches me how to use materialistic dialectical analysis methods to analyze contradictions and discover the laws of the operation of this world.

If you want to improve your ability to seek truth from facts, you need to first see the essence and laws of the development of things, which requires you to understand "On Practice".

"On Practice" divides the development of cognition in individual practice into three stages: the first stage is the sensory stage, which mainly collects a large amount of one-sided information through practice and accumulates information well.

The second stage is the rational stage. Only when a large amount of effective information is accumulated, as the basis, integration and abstraction can be carried out to find the essence and laws of things.

The third stage is to apply theory to practice stage. Only by taking the essence and laws to test in practice, and by repeatedly polishing,

finally achieves subjective and objective unity and obtaining the expected results, can the practice be considered successful and mastering the laws and essence. Only by completing these three stages can we master the laws of the development of things at this stage.

has mastered the rules, and then based on your objective reality, and do what you can through the existing foundation and conditions.

finds breakthroughs in the problem according to the rules and rules, and constantly verifies the results.

You must see the internal connections of things, find the main contradictions that affect things from the connections, resolve the main contradictions, and only then will you achieve twice the result with half the effort when doing things.

When you master more rules, you will naturally look at the problem and see the essence of things.

For example, children's education issues, the college entrance examinations are all about selecting talents, and there are still diversion rules now, so the reduction of students' burden is a good wish.

As long as the game and choice exist, the students' learning pressure still exists. Whoever dares to herd sheep for the children will regret it in the future.

The more rules you master, look at the problem and reach the essence, solve the problem accurately enough, and the more wisdom you increase, the more wise people are often wise people.

does not master the rules, and only one-sidedly looks at problems, and solving problems has no effect at all. Whether or not mastering the rules is completely different life trajectory.
