Why am I working so hard and not getting better? 3 o'clock wake up the dreamer

When I was young, my parents always liked to tell us, you have to work hard, what to do in the future, etc. But our parents didn't tell us what kind of hard work is effective, so that we work hard every day and endure so much hardship, but we still don't become good, but make ourselves anxious and uneasy.

What is the reason for this? Lao Wang believes that it is not because we are not working hard, but because we are working hard!

Lao Wang's understanding of effort is that a person's effort depends on whether he has changed his thinking mode through deliberate practice, whether he has improved his cognition, and whether he has transformed it into productivity through the processing of things, and finally realized it.

Lao Wang has been a headhunter for ten years and has come into contact with many elites in the workplace. He found that some people can earn an annual salary of one million in their 30s, while some people are still looking for jobs when they reach retirement age! Lao Wang communicated with these people and found that everyone worked very hard, going to bed late and getting up early every day, and it was very hard, but why is the gap so big?

According to Pharaoh's ten-year headhunting experience in interviewing more than 3,000 people, Pharaoh believes:

1. Learning ability, and more importantly, the ability to understand and apply knowledge. When Lao Wang was in the first grade of primary school, he couldn't study. Once the teacher asked Lao Wang to read, Lao Wang could read (memorize) it quickly, but he didn't know the words when he saw them and couldn't write them. The teacher grabbed (when Lao Wang was in elementary school, the teacher could still punish students physically, but now the teacher can't corporally punish students) Lao Wang's ear said, you are reading "Looking up on Facebook". From then on, Lao Wang knew that such learning was ineffective, but at that time, he couldn't think at all, and there was no so-called his own theoretical system. It was not until after high school that Pharaoh learned philosophy that he really understood the meaning of the 9 words "what, why, and how". From then on, he began to deliberately practice to change his way of thinking.

It's a shame that Pharaoh didn't know how to study to be more effective, better understand and apply knowledge to solve problems, etc. in high school. Only now are you really building your own thinking system.

Lao Wang has always believed that the core of learning lies in the understanding and application of knowledge. If there is no "what, why, how" thinking system established in high school, there will be no learning ability now, these are complementary.

2. The difference in thinking mode is the core difference. At the first point, Pharaoh said the mode of thinking. In fact, in Lao Wang's concept, the establishment of the real thinking mode is the question of "what, why, and how" answered in philosophy. If you understand these, and then continuously practice deliberately, put these nine Words are truly integrated into their own blood, and they will be thought and applied.

Pharaoh has been a headhunter for ten years. It cannot be said that he has read countless people, and there are at least 3,000 professional elites. When you have nothing to do, open your previous work book, look at the workplace elites you have interviewed before and your evaluation of these workplace elites, and then categorize them. Lao Wang really found a phenomenon: those who have their own thinking system, regardless of age, their positions and annual salary are very high. And those who do not have a thinking system and think that work is work, so there is basically no big difference between ten years of work and one year of work. This is what Franklin said: Some people die at 25 and are only buried at 75.

In 2014, Pharaoh chatted with a marketing VP of a company. He was only 27 years old at the time, and he was already a professional elite with an annual salary of over one million. When Pharaoh chatted with him, whether it was his aura or the way he spoke, he made a good impression. In particular, his understanding of users and his own marketing views are far beyond the understanding of ordinary people. Such elites in the workplace have their own way of thinking and cognitive system. If they don't get high salaries, who will get high salaries?

3. The difference in cognition really widens the gap between people. Since Lao Wang read Fu Sheng's cognitive trilogy, he has carried out a sublimation of cognitive theory. Regarding the topic of cognition, Lao Wang will not discuss it here, because Fu Sheng has explained it very clearly.

Just like yesterday, a company's HR director chatted with Lao Wang and asked Lao Wang how to attract outstanding talents to join their company. Lao Wang said, find the driving force for talent to change jobs, such as salary, platform or self-value realization. The HR person in charge immediately understood after reading it. This is someone who has reached a certain stage of cognition. If he continues to ask how to achieve this, it only shows that cognition still needs to be improved. This is what Lao Wang often said. Communicating with wise people will not only make you less tired, but also make yourself more rewarding.

Writing here, you may say, Lao Wang, you have analyzed all these problems, then, how to solve these problems? Don't worry! Don't worry! Just look down.

Below, Pharaoh gives the solution to the problem. The king suggested:

1. Learn how to learn, truly understand the connotation and extension of knowledge, and turn the knowledge you learn into productivity. In the end how to learn? Lao Wang believes that learning should be done first:

First, understand the connotation and extension of knowledge.

Second, know how to apply this knowledge.

Finally, let this knowledge melt into your blood and become a habit of thinking.

2. The core of changing thinking is to change one's thinking system through deliberate practice, reorganize and establish one's own thinking system, and become a person who can really think. Regarding the thinking system, Lao Wang believes that:

First, find the problem.

Second, define the essence of the problem and find the boundary of the problem.

Again, according to the nature of the problem and the boundary of the problem, find a solution to the problem.

Finally, verify the issue with feedback to see if the issue is actually resolved.

3. By improving their cognitive level, establish a set of their own cognitive methodology to guide their own practice. The so-called methodology is to establish a way of thinking that can guide oneself based on one's own knowledge, way of thinking, cognition and social experience.
