Diligence: How to be a very powerful person---book pick

Preface

In this book, I opened seven facets of our lives, namely time, choice, action, learning, thinking, talent and success.
time is our coordinates, we do anything can not do without this coordinate, so, to deal with the relationship between the time, is our life, growth and change the premise;
Choice often occurs at the crossroads of life, it makes us confused, helpless and anxious, and learn to choose is to learn to recognize themselves and their position in the world;
action is the symbol of vitality, but also to solve all the problems of refuge, and it is puzzling that the pace of action of modern people more and more heavy, the sense of powerlessness continues to spread, so we need the courage and wisdom of action;
Learning is a symbol of human being, for many people is a life-long practice, learning the law and skills is a lot of people need to fill a lesson;
thinking happens every moment in life, but thinking about itself is scarce and precious, and when we want to solve all the problems in our work and our studies, you will find its value;
just tender in this fierce competition in the society, a person's talent is the body of this, but how to obtain extraordinary talent for many people is a difficult mystery, to solve the mystery need to break some streaming a very wide range of the puzzle;
success is a love and hate intertwined words, countless people for the so-called success into their originally hated people, and I believe that only adhere to do what you like, you can achieve true meaning of success.

A time to judge whether things are worth doing

When it comes to analyzing a thing worth doing and devoting much effort to doing, it can be evaluated from two angles: one is the amount of income that this event will bring to "me" in the present, which can be mental, emotional, physical, physical, what I call a "profit value", and the rate at which this benefit decays over time , what I call the "half-life", the long-half-life event, the impact will last longer.

Two choices

• The so-called choice, is to weigh the weight of outs, clear what you want in life, what to pursue.

• By setting higher goals for yourself, you will find more and better options and make more perfect decisions.

• Past experiences, habits, and thinking inertia often automatically implant "implicit assumptions" in our thinking, which makes us less aware of the "possible options".

• If there are too many options, you should break the selection into different dimensions and then make an assessment of the options from different dimensions.

• The best way to do this is to listen to your inner voice when it comes to having a particularly strong subjective choice of emotions and preferences.

• No matter what choice you make, something you never change and eventually take you to your destination may not be a choice, but something you won't change.

Three actions we will never be fully prepared.

The traditional education system implies "unfinished" ideological inertia, in teachers ' opinion, imparting knowledge, theory and skills to students to "prepare for the future", rather than "doing things now". So a person from childhood to high school and to the university, doctor, spent more than 10 years, more than 20 years of time, are just in "prepare", in the study, practice, in the completion of the exercise, but not to create a "product." Since we have been "ready", we have not "done" anything. The idea of lean entrepreneurship is that you don't have to be completely ready to play again, you can get ready for the game, or you'll be on the pitch, even though you may fall black and black at first, but progress will be faster.
One of the deadly problems with the idea of "getting ready to play first" is that we will never be able to prepare for "complete". There are always problems that we have not taken into account, always have our ability to short board, always have we do not gather complete information, but so we are going to keep going? Of course not. Only if you make the real things, your ideas will be clearer, to be able to exercise effectively, the field of vision is more open.

One concept: Lean Entrepreneurship

"Lean Entrepreneurship" (Lean startup) is one of the most popular ways of internet entrepreneurship. A key concept in "lean entrepreneurship" is called "minimizing viable products" (minimum viable PRODUCT,MVP), which refers to experimental products that can be used with minimal resources, the fastest-to-be-made, and can perform basic functions, The entrepreneur should publish the minimized viable product as soon as possible, and then optimize it based on the user's feedback, a process called build-measure-Learn (Build-measure-learn) cycle. If you do not build a minimum feasible product to do the test, you can not be measured in reality, more can not be based on feedback to learn, and can only be free in the market outside, behind closed doors, it is possible to step away from the course, until entering the abyss of irreversible failure.

So in the way of lean entrepreneurship to the success of life, we have to do this three points:

1. Overcome the inertia of "over-preparation" and take a step forward to complete unfinished business;

2. Overcome the "self-defense" mentality, willing to accept negative views and carefully examined;

3. Overcome the "sunk cost" of stubbornness, have the courage to deny and re-structure their products.

   Summarize

• When you don't know how to do something, just start doing it. As soon as the first step is started, there will be a second and a third step.

• Overcome the inertia of "over-preparation" and take a step forward to complete unfinished business.

• Willing to accept negative opinions, have the courage to deny and reconstruct their products.

• Multi-threaded work, first of all need a period of time to focus on undisturbed, complete the work of the core of the thinking.

• Centralized processing of homogeneous work can reduce the conversion loss in different quality workshops.

• Starting from the theory may not be able to guide the practice, only in practice through reflection accumulated knowledge can guide the practice.

• After the action to reflect in a timely manner, and comb the matter of the "reaction chain", pay particular attention to the occurrence of the unexpected phenomenon.

Four study do not only do information to the porter by decoding, deep into the deep of things

In the Internet era, many people have formed a hoarding addiction, downloading a lot of things on the internet, books, software, movies, accumulated a lot of G, but after the end and put there, too lazy to see. There are some studious people, like conscientious bees, in the Internet to see a good article on a collection of articles, or copied to the notebook software, this kind of data collection is good, but often just save and not read, but do the knowledge of the porter. Some people love to read, but they don't look fine enough, anything is a rough list, let alone in the era of fragmented reading, it is difficult to see things in the mobile phone in depth.

If you learn something, pay more attention to deep learning.

For learners, whether it is good at decoding information materials determines the effect of knowledge mastery. The recent view of educational psychology is that knowledge mastery of a thing should be differentiated by understanding (knowledge about) and knowing (knowledge of) two levels. For example, for skydiving this thing, is limited to understand the person, certainly can articulate the standard operation step 1234 of skydiving, and if asked to some non-conventional problems, may be dazed, and the mastery of the level of knowledge can be based on the parachute device of the internal principles of understanding, After a certain amount of thinking and reasoning to come to an answer.

The most effective way to learn: doing high school

In my personal study, I also take this approach as the most important part of learning, and is to learn the real one step for me.
Of course, it is not said that all studies have to "do high school". Some areas would have been suitable for "secondary school", while others would have been more difficult to implement. For example, the study of Office software, drawing software, learning is practice, edge groping, with the use of learning, certainly more than just holding a book gnawing stronger.

Why entrepreneurship can generate greater value

1. Measurable. Compared to working in the company, the value of their own business is greater, because the value of the company's personal work has been greatly reduced, because in large companies, individual performance can not be effectively evaluated, the company is more inclined to in an average way to provide employees with compensation.

2. can be amplified. The contribution of an individual in a large company is not scalable, as it is usually only possible to get paid in the form of "timing" or "piecework". Technology entrepreneurship can generate value because it "discovers a new way of doing things, and its economic value depends on how many people use this new way." If your business is to make egg cakes, then make a money that can only earn one, but if you solve a hot technical problem, so that many people benefit, it forms a magnification.
   Summarize:

• Learning should be centered on the questions in the minds of learners, so that questions lead us to search for answers.

• The problem needs to be based on the existing knowledge system, and the new and old knowledge can be connected together through the problem.

• Through the internal decoding of things, we can find the profound connotation of things, have the opportunity to master the delicate and subtle techniques, and constantly rebuild their knowledge system.

• How much knowledge is mastered does not depend on how much knowledge and knowledge you have memorized, but how much knowledge and knowledge you can invoke.

• Knowledge is divided into three levels: information, knowledge and skills. Skill is the end of learning, information and knowledge is the way to the end of the road and bridge.

• A solution to a real-world problem, or an insight into a real-world situation, often requires the simultaneous invocation of knowledge on different knowledge lineages.

• Learn to consciously analyze the potential relationship between different fields of knowledge, through the transfer of different knowledge, confirmation, complementarity, to gain inspiration, and even generate new ideas or discoveries.

How do five ideas filter out information that is not valuable?

• Select a trusted source of information
• Not chasing the information that is now popular or overheated
• Heavy factual information, light views and comments
• Regular retreat, shielding the outside world

Creation of ideas

1. As much as possible to collect original information;

2. Repeat "chewing" the original data, the idea of initial ideas;

3. Stop conscious thinking and start thinking subconsciously;

4. Ready to meet the "epiphany" moment of arrival;

5. To be reformed and perfected to make it usable effectively.

Matrix Method:

1. Abstract the dimensions of the decomposition problem as complete as possible (such as the final form of the product can not be exhaustive, but the decision of the abstract dimensions of the product form may be poor lift);

2. For each dimension, we can find out as many performance values as possible by taking the inverse, subdivision and so on to form the dimension matrix;

3. Try to establish various combinations between the performance values of the different dimensions in the dimension matrix.

Lateral thinking

British creative expert Edward De Pono is the inventor of "lateral thinking", and he proposes a "random excitation" method that, while thinking about a problem, randomly find a word (such as flipping a dictionary to a page) and then linking the word to the current one. For example, he has been involved in solving a country how to quickly cultivate a large number of teachers, through the random excitation method, he found the word "tadpole", but what is the relationship between tadpoles and teachers? Bono next thought, tadpoles have tails, so teachers can also have tails? It can be understood that each teacher can bring a few assistants or trainee teachers, like the teacher Apprentice-style teaching, through this method can quickly improve the number of teachers.

Summarize

• It is necessary to simplify the information input from outside, but also to simplify the information we express, to make more use of space for our thinking.

• Simplicity, based on deep understanding, is not tedious, but implies a richer connotation.

• In order to make the thinking better Divergent, get more inspiration, one is to turn off the voice of the brain evaluation, the second is to properly introduce chaos and random.

• Thinking relies on working memory, through the outward thinking as an image, giving thinking more space for exploration, but also to further promote thinking.

• The problem in reality, always involves too many factors, the use of matrices, checklists and other tools, can improve the degree of thought.

Six can not highlight the long plate most dangerous to focus on developing their own advantages to

For those who have general educational background, lack of professional skills, hopeless for their fathers, and anxious young people for their future, the only thing that can be done is to gather up their scarce resources (time, energy, money and even courage), and bet to do something. Concentrate on doing one thing, even if it looks very inconspicuous. Half-hearted, flinching, indecisive, too much fast, follow the rash are taboo.

Willpower is just a lie

If I can persist in doing one thing for a long time, it must be this thing brings me the abundance feeling and satisfaction more than all my pay, must be this matter linger in my mind day and night to let me stop, it must be this thing aroused my innermost feelings the strongest interest. In other words, what gives me strength is the drive of passion, not the spur of willpower.

Summarize

• Everyone has their own unique advantages, and can be better by striving for excellence.

• Effort is not a constant force, but a strategic activity, can continue to learn and optimize.

• In the case of limited personal resources, we should first focus our resources and devote ourselves to developing one of our strengths.

• The time is mainly put in a field, to the highest standards to the requirements of their own, to develop a very high talent.

• A relatively small amount of time is widely used to capture and develop unforeseen resources and opportunities to maximize personal talent.

• Constantly designed for their own difficult "non-standard action", in the challenge to gain the ability to upgrade and leap.

Seven successes

• To be an active seeker, dare to break through all kinds of limitations, try to make mistakes, to form their own advantages and even unique knowledge assets.

• Not only in the idealized situation to think about the problem, but also to temper the theory into reality, the ability to consider the complex situation of reality.

• In the full connection between theory and reality, step by step to build their own unique knowledge and experience system, gradually polished out of your own unique intelligence.

• Make an independent choice and even do something cool, based on your own inner needs, rather than the outside identity.

• If you find a way that no one else has, just go through the road and you win.
