Don't show hard work again, that doesn't matter.

From ancient times to the present, from China to abroad, the success of small labels is always industrious. This is why few people will reject “success from hard work”. It seems to be a model for diligence in order to verify how hard you work. Many people who have dreams, maybe four o'clock in the morning, have embarked on a journey of the day, to greet the whole day of busy and rushing, and finally managed to handle the day's work, not to take care of the body being hollowed out. The last class of the MRT went home. I believe that you work hard day after day, and you want to be better. You are closer to success, but unfortunately, time is not good, everything is a dog, and you don’t stay away from day and night.

Inadvertently, a half-year has passed, and then one year has passed. Until you take stock of the harvest, you will find the following facts:

1. The IELTS planned before was not ready, but had to abandon the test or barely test the scalp, resulting in the inability to go abroad;

2. The speech and writing skills that I have been trying to improve have not grown much, so the rare public expression opportunity has gone so far;

3, even you have been looking forward to the "successful weight loss success, confidently confessed to the goddess" such a beautiful picture did not appear, the reason must be understood.

All of this is far from the ambition of your goal, and it oppresses your nerves, so that you will be uneasy: I have invested so much time, but I have not received the expected return, it is not fair!

In fact, I think that "saying time is not fair" is the biggest unfairness. To further explain, time is even the only magical resource that transcends nationality restrictions, breaks class boundaries, and ignores ancient and modern differences. It is indiscriminately distributed to everyone. However, there are also reasons for using the same time resources to produce different results, that is, each person's perception of time and utilization efficiency are different. This point has been thoroughly analyzed by Li Xiaolai in the book "Take Time as a Friend" - different levels of mind will make the same time resources produce different results for different people.

Learn to perceive time, be friends of time

In my opinion, this kind of excellent heart and wisdom is more of a strategic advantage, it will help your practice to "thinking tool nature." However, if I take a Ferrari sports car as an example, if an old driver wants to really exert his power, in addition to "the sports car is new enough, the driver is old enough", there is another indispensable - must be in the fuel tank There is enough oil.

Therefore, what I have questioned is never "diligence is useless", but the behavior of "diligent performance" has no value. This seemingly diligent behavior is essentially a protective color of "thinking lazy". Summarize it in a wide-ranging phrase: This is basically using tactical diligence to cover up the strategic laziness - on the surface you are very diligent, but actually deliberately avoid the really difficult but more valuable part - and this A "thinking lazy" behavior will eventually lead you to become a "low-quality diligent."

Low-quality diligent people are more likely to be confused by the spiritual values ​​advocated by this era. You will be obsessed with a considerable number of inspirational stories that lack a path to realization. I believe that Heaven will inevitably pay for work, and I will not forget to use a copy of "Entrepreneurship" in the MRT. Or "Poor Dad Rich Dad" to match your position;

Then, you are also very keen on the trend. The voice of Luo Ji’s thinking is not falling, and he is busy with the Internet entrepreneurship training camp. If you don’t agree with it, you can use WeChat to sweep it. I think I have established a connection with all kinds of big coffee. line;

Of course, as a part of the rising middle class, you also have a supportive attitude towards tourism. It is not a problem to say that you have to leave. It is a very literary rhetoric to experience different life. However, the following is often the focus. —— Use the beauty camera to carefully collect the evidence that you “live elsewhere”, be selectively displayed through the circle of friends, and wait for 32 praises with expectation.

But the question is: After you have done all of the above, will you get the results you want? Or have you seriously considered the results?

After listening to the voice of Luo Ji's thoughts, you have a lot of books on the ground, but never look at it - it's not difficult to understand. After all, buying books is easy, reading is much more difficult; and even more difficult is that you have no Think about which books you should systematically read to better solve your practical problems, and which books are most helpful to you.

You have a bloody book, and spent thousands of dollars to listen to a big coffee speech, even if the idea he stated in the book with a price of ¥38 is exactly the same - it is also understandable, after all, listening to the speech is forced The grid is easy, and you can hook up the big coffee. The relatively unpleasant one is to bury your head and read the book. As for whether you can hook up the big coffee, I think the only reliable criterion is whether your coffee is It’s big enough, but thinking lazy people always have a reason to deceive themselves.

As for the "tourism to experience life", I agree with its value, but I think its beautiful qualities are still not related to the lazy thinking. I have asked many friends: What is the purpose of your trip? To my surprise, although the answers are varied, it seems that few people can really say an answer that makes them happy. Of course, there is a girl who wants to be more clear. She thinks that “travel is an opportunity to let herself go away from routine routines and experience another kind of life.” Perhaps it is her recognition of travel brought about by such serious thinking. Feeling, let her cherish the opportunity of each trip - the booking of round-trip air tickets and accommodation, the configuration of luggage, and the travel notes to record the mood - without any careful planning. I can almost imagine how this positive preparation will give her a high-quality travel experience.

Thinking is lazy, do you have it?

The value of the above behavior is high or low, but without exception, you are likely to choose the one with lower value. I declare here that although the pronoun I use is "you" and actually "I", this is the thinking tendency of each of us. In fact, once we chose “thinking laziness,” we chose to be a “low-quality diligent person” and chose low-value behavior and low-value results.

Here, I have such a preliminary conclusion: the "low level of cognition" brought about by "thinking laziness" is the reason for the "low-quality diligence". However, it still plagues me: the cost is so great, the bitterness is not eaten, but the blessings are not enjoyed. From an economic point of view, the diligent behavior of "low-quality diligent people" is extremely low-cost, and has no investment value at all. So why do so many people, including themselves, still enjoy it? Perhaps the words of the US group Wang Xing broke the secret plane - most people are willing to do anything in order to escape the real thinking.

In fact, psychologist Daniel Kahneman has a subtle description of this in his book, Thinking, Fast and Slow. He believes that our brains have both fast and slow ways to make decisions. The commonly used unconscious "system 1" relies on emotions, memory and experience to make quick judgments. It is widely responsive and quick to respond, but it is easy to be fooled. The conscious "System 2" analyzes and solves problems by mobilizing attention, and makes decisions. It is slow, not easy to make mistakes, but it is lazy, and often takes shortcuts to adopt the intuitive judgment results of System 1.

For a long time, this approach – for the slow-changing environment, the intuitive judgment of the gene adoption system 1 – did not present any problems. On the one hand, it made a big chance to respond to the slow changes in the environment; on the other hand, lazy walking shortcuts also saved the genes, which is meaningful for humans with high food cost in ancient times. extraordinary. So, when we talk about why people are “thinking lazy” or why they are not used to “deep thinking,” we are actually putting pressure on genes to reduce the “reconciliation” of life-saving artifacts. Energy distribution turns to the luxury of “deep thinking”. This is tantamount to reducing the survival probability of gene carriers for genes that have been traversed from ancient times. To sum up, deep thinking is anti-human at the genetic level.

Genes do not encourage primitive people to think deeply

Let us cross from ancient times to the present, so what is the current situation of the society? Changes, sharp changes, very sharp changes! In fact, change has long been a consensus that we know each other. A direct result of this faster and faster change is the exponential development of information, as evidenced by the way information is carried. Oracle bones, bamboo slips, sheepskin rolls, printing paper, to the theoretically infinite virtual storage space.

For the flood of knowledge caused by the madness of this kind of information, everyone's poor cognitive ability seems so insignificant. Cognitive ability has replaced the knowledge information reserve as a scarce resource and built a new barrier between people. If you still obey the stubborn genes at this time, continue to think lazy, and avoid deep thinking about anti-humanity, what will result? I think the results are probably too easy to predict - we will not be able to enjoy the benefits of knowledge growth and environmental change, at best maintain the current level of quality of life, and even drown in the flood of information, anxiety and helpless, I do not know Take measures. There is a saying that if you want to get different results from the past, you must do something different from the past, and these differences must first be reflected in the cognitive level.

So we have to learn to clarify our own ideas: diligence is very important, and it cannot be overemphasized. It is a necessary and insufficient condition for excellent results. So how do you make it necessary? The answer I gave was to refuse to be lazy, to be accustomed to deep thinking and to improve my cognitive level. As for how to think deeply, I think everyone should try to give their own answers. In fact, this is also a struggle against humanity, and we must be prepared to fight a protracted war. At the same time, I also hope that every truly diligent person can tear off the "low quality" label and live a high quality life worthy of your efforts.
