Independent thinking is the premise of your learning knowledge

People who haven't been on the road always like to listen to others,

But whether it be wonderful or sad,

It's just someone else's story.

-Yang Ziling

Participating in the offline activities of the book club over the weekend gave me the greatest impression that everyone has a lot of stories to tell, and everyone's stories are also very exciting.

One cannot step into the same river twice, said the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus. And he used the most succinct words to describe his thoughts on motion and change, "everything flows, nothing is permanent." In his view, nothing in the universe is absolutely static and unchanging, everything is moving and changing.

People are even more the same. Some book friends in the book club also mentioned this when they shared it, and it still touched me a lot. People should have dynamic thinking, look at problems from a developmental perspective, and think about changes when they move.

Participated in many communities and courses, but found that many people gave different advice. Some people advise you to act first, and then some people tell you to explore first, then act, first locate and then execute.

All kinds of suggestions are dazzling, and if you don't have your own judgment, it's really getting more and more confused. Therefore, many people choose a compromise proposal, one side of the main business and the other side.

This compromise strategy is indeed a good choice for most people. But if your side business is not an extension of your main business, it's a waste of time in most cases. Unless your main business is already doing very well, use your spare time to expand your hobbies. Just to make some money.

People will show their best side to everyone, it is human nature. This is understandable, but this kind of operation is easy to be confused by the audience. It seems that as long as you sign up for a course and follow his actions, you can turn a chicken into a phoenix from now on. So if the course is really so attractive, why are new courses still being launched? This is actually the point just mentioned by the book friends just above, "Have a dynamic thinking to study and work"

In the sharing meeting, a story shared by Ding Ge was very impressive. Basically, some of my friends were doing great business five years ago, but now many of them are bankrupt. It is because he always uses the previous model for the present. He feels that the previous set of business principles has been completed, so he continues to use them in new projects. Not only does it fail, but it accelerates the time of bankruptcy.

keep improving yourself

I see that many people love reading, and every activity becomes a book festival for everyone. But you have to remember that books and courses of any kind have a certain commercial aspect to them. There is also the kind that teaches you how to earn the first pot of gold quickly. As Ding Yuanying said in "The Way of Heaven", if those books on stocks can really teach you to make money, then the person who publishes the book does not have to rely on Books make money.

Reading is a kind of thought of reading, the thought of doing writing, the structure of the book, whether it is logically rigorous, how rich the content of each chapter is, and what kind of thought is conveyed.

People will always do what they are good at and enjoy. The same is true of reading, some people like to read biographies, some people like to read marketing, some people like to read management and so on. No matter what kind of books you read, you are constantly improving yourself, but many people ignore one thing that is learning and using.

Whether you buy paid online courses or participate in so-called offline courses, no matter what form of learning is inseparable from practice. The full harvest in the classroom is a real feeling, but if it cannot be used in life, that kind of harvest will slowly pass away like the sand in the funnel.

And before participating in these courses, there is a premise. I think first develop your critical thinking and independent thinking ability, which is a kind of ability that allows you to quickly identify.

The more lessons we learn without this ability, the more confused we become. Because you will find the same thing, the opinions given by different people are very different, even mutually exclusive.

In fact, it's not that their thoughts are mutually exclusive, it's just that when they talk about issues, they have different points of consideration.

Some people say that starting a business is when you have an idea, you start to make constant trial and error, and let the market give your own feedback, but some people will say that you are too blind. You should think about the model, write a business plan that will convince others, and then start executing.

Some people say, if you think about it, throw your arms away and do it whole-heartedly. Others say that you should do it part-time. When the part-time job is on par with the main business, you can devote yourself to the side business. And everyone has their own set of rhetoric, which seems to be quite reasonable. How should we act at this time?

At this time, you need the ability to think independently, and to identify which method is more suitable for you. This is why I say that there must be a premise before learning, to develop the ability to think and judge independently.
