Final Thought: When you are confused, do you choose the easy way to go, or do you choose to go in one direction?

Introduction: Life and the workplace are always faced with various choices, and final thinking is an extremely effective method. It is a kind of reverse thinking, which requires us to consider the problem from the results, so as to make a choice decision at the moment.

Of course, such a result must be predictable, or it is not that difficult to achieve. For example, when we go to work every day, we know that there is a 99.9% probability of reaching the company, even at a slightly precise time. It can be estimated, because at this time, the corresponding routes and appearance patterns will naturally be planned in our minds.

If there is an emergency in the middle, we will also consider whether we will be late. If we are not late, what remedial measures should we take now, such as hitting, running quickly, etc., so when we encounter such a problem, we The first reaction is to reverse the choice through the result.

This kind of thinking is very common in the workplace. For example, when you join a company, you are hesitant and unsure whether you can work here for a long time, then you will leave soon, because your mentality affects your behavior, which in turn affects your thinking. , it will continue to enlarge your previous concerns, and finally choose to leave.

Especially when we have problems, the job is too hard, I can't finish it, since you've come to a conclusion about the job, it will be even harder to finish it, not even the beginning. .

If we have no plans for our work, and in line with the thinking of "filling up ditches and building bridges when we meet rivers", it will not have any impact on us in the short term, but in the long run, it will be difficult for us to make great achievements. Unless you are extremely lucky.

So how do we master endgame thinking?

1. If the career goals are clear, choose "fuzzy correct"

A scientist once conducted a long-term investigation and found that people with goals are more likely to succeed than people without goals. That is because people with goals know what they are doing, know what direction to work hard in, and will not waste time in vain.

People without goals, who do sales today and customer service tomorrow, suddenly come over for N years, but find that they do not have any skills or even work experience, so they are naturally unlikely to succeed.

And if your goal is clear, even if you don't have a practical plan now, stick to it, and one day you will achieve your goal. Of course, there will be bumps in it, and it is not as comfortable as a free life, but the direction must be correct, although the future The road map is not so clear, so this is called "fuzzy correct".

Relatively, there is also "correct ambiguity". Every choice you make is in your comfort zone, so you may be very relaxed in a short period of time, but you can only follow fate in the future.

2. If your career goals are not clear, then you should act first

If you are not sure about your future, then take action first, and constantly sort out and establish your own goals in the process of action. So at this time, you can ignore your goals and focus on the best things at hand.

In the hit drama "Crossing the Yalu River" some time ago, Mr. Peng held a chess "pawn" and explained that in order to treat pawns so much, it was because the policies and strategies formulated by the superiors, no matter how correct, were made by pawns. So the United States won the battle of Shangganling no matter what, after N years, but the result was us, and our soldiers mainly relied on the action of seeing death.

Therefore, there is also the principle that "everything is created twice", one is our intellect, and the other is our actions. Here, although our goals are unclear, our actions will gradually clarify our goals. In the words of the battlefield, it is: "Then fight, and fight their intentions."

3. Use principles instead of goals

Life is made up of different choices, and the workplace is still. Although many choices seem small, they may still have a profound impact on us. You can refer to the "butterfly effect". For example:

On the way to work, the road is blocked, can you detour?

There is an abnormal shortcut for a certain job, do you want to take it?

When we see injustice, do we want to deal with it? and many more.

Many things may have results soon, but there are also many things that require slow precipitation to have results, and the results at this time may not be what we can bear.

So what we have to do is to follow our principles and do things. These have nothing to do with morality. We just have to grasp our choices, so as not to fail to reach our end.

To sum up, doing the right thing is as important as doing the right thing. Both can bring us one step closer to success, and both require us to constantly think, summarize, and then take action. Only in this way can we finally make progress. to our end.
