So, how can we break the mindset? bud
First, drink it yourself and stay alert.
Thinking set is a kind of formatted thing, which has the characteristics of concealment, persistence and stubbornness. Once the mindset is formed, it will follow you and stick to you tightly. Therefore, to break the mindset, we must fully understand its harm, so as to keep ourselves alert to it at all times.
What kind of harm does mentality have? Gu, a thinker in China in the late Ming Dynasty, told a story that happened in Luoyang in his Record of Japanese Knowledge:
Qian Sigong of Luoyang is very rich, but he is frugal by nature and careful with his money. He has several sons, although they are all grown up, but it is difficult to get a little pocket money except holidays.
Qian Sigong hides a pen container. This pen container is made of coral, with beautiful shape and exquisite carving. It is extremely precious and is his favorite thing. He always puts the pen on his desk at ordinary times and enjoys it every day. If one day the penholder disappears, he will fidget and fidget, and then offer a reward of 10 thousand yuan to find the penholder.
Qian Sigong's precious sons soon understood this. Anyone who is short of money will secretly hide the pen. Qian Sigong offered a reward of 10 thousand yuan to find time, so he took it out and traced it to a thief outside, so it was easy to get a reward of 10 thousand yuan. After a while, if any son has no money to spend, he will do the same thing again. This kind of thing happens at least six or seven times a year in Qian Sigong's home.
After telling this story, Gu said: Qian Sigong's innocent character is amazing, but it's a pity that he is often fooled by his unfilial son.
The story sounds funny and exaggerated. People can't help asking: how can there be such a stupid person in the world? In fact, from the perspective of behavioral science, this is a typical case of mindset. In other words, Qian Sigong was fooled by his son because the mindset in his mind was at work. Qian Sigong's beloved coral pen was recovered again and again, and an invisible frame gradually formed in his mind: "My pen is very valuable, and thieves outside always want to steal it." As long as I offer a reward of 10 thousand yuan, my son will definitely get it back. "Visible, that kind of mentality is really harmful. After the formation of mindset, people will fall into a strange circle when thinking about problems, and it is difficult to see the true colors of things. At this time, all your intelligence will go up in smoke. Not only have you lost the ability to analyze problems, but you are no longer willing to analyze them.
Would you like to be like Qian Sigong? Bud, of course not. In that case, why not take Qian Sigong as a mirror, always give yourself a glass of good wine and be alert to your own mentality?
Second, emancipate the mind and renew ideas.
Do you have any objection if I say that crows are all black? Bud "Yes, that's what my grandfather told me when I was a child." "Yes, there are descriptions in literary works." Is that really the case? Bud. Recently, many newspapers at home and abroad have reported that white crows have been found in many parts of the world. "Is this true? Why didn't Bud find the white crow until now? Yes, why did you find the white crow until now? The reason is that old ideas such as "Grandpa told me" and "What is written in the book" have bound the minds of the world. Therefore, to break the mindset, we must start by doubting old ideas and discovering new things.
The following is an example of economic change driven by conceptual changes:
A group of "parents" in a county studied how to develop the economy and discussed. They all think that the first problem is money. The idea of the meeting is to raise funds first, then determine the responsible cadres according to the amount of funds, set up a working group, and then select and demonstrate the project plan. Due to the backward economy in the county, the meeting lasted for three consecutive days, and the funding problem was still difficult to implement. As a result, everything became empty talk.
In the land of China, the torrent of reform and opening up is getting higher and higher, and the miracles of economic development are one after another. The members of the county leadership couldn't sit still and decided to study and inspect in economically developed areas.
Going out to visit and study has greatly inspired them, and their thinking procedures have also changed greatly. They got together for a meeting again and decided to "think backwards"; Regardless of the funding problem, first select resources and determine the project. As a result, everyone reached such a * * * understanding: develop the local rare karst cave rivers and develop tourism. Of course, the funding problem still needs to be solved. How to solve it? Budd released a message inviting people from all walks of life to explore, invest and start businesses.
This is a brand-new scheme. After the implementation of this plan, all kinds of gods of wealth came to visit us one after another: some opened roads, some renovated rivers, some opened restaurants, started their own businesses and made a fortune. Soon, tourism developed. Driven by tourism, the county's economy is booming.
Business people often say: the concept has changed and the world has become wider. This story just now confirms this truth again. This also fully shows that the power to emancipate the mind and change ideas is enormous.
Nowadays, with the deepening of reform and opening up, our thoughts have certainly been liberated a lot, but compared with the era of rapid development, the degree is far from enough. In order to break the mindset and promote the development of our cause, we must further emancipate our minds and renew our concepts.
We should remember what Comrade Deng Xiaoping said: "If a party, a country and a nation start from the root, their thinking is rigid and superstition prevails, they will not be able to advance, they will have no vitality, and they will die."
Third, think independently and stick to your own point of view
How is the mindset formed? The problem of bud is very complicated, but an indisputable reason is that one's own perception is influenced by others' perception. Therefore, to break the mindset, a key link is to cultivate such a will quality: be brave in independent thinking and stick to your own opinions. When necessary, even if it is a single-plank bridge, we must resolutely go on; Even if it is a thousand miles, you must jump firmly. In other words, as the main body of thinking, we should strive to overcome our herd mentality. Solomon Ashe, an American scholar, concluded through investigation that human beings have many misfortunes, 33% of which are due to wrong obedience to others. Therefore, only by not "following the trend", not following others' advice, and not blindly following the crowd, can our innovative thinking ability be fully released and brought into play.
Physicist Fulton, due to the need of research work, measured the thermal conductivity of solid helium, but his measured results were 500 times higher than those calculated by previous theories.
Felton was surprised: "Is this a big gap?"
Should this result be made public? Bud Forton believes that if it is made public, it may cause a sensation in the scientific community, but it may also be regarded as unconventional and grandstanding, which will attract a lot of questions, criticisms and accusations. After much deliberation, Fortuna hesitated-forget it, why bother? Therefore, he put his research results aside.
Not long after, a young American scientist also measured the thermal conductivity in the experiment, and it was exactly the same as that measured by Fortun. After the surprise, the young scientist took a completely opposite attitude to Fulton, which was quickly made public and immediately attracted wide attention and praise from the scientific community. More importantly, the scientist did not stop there, but continued to innovate and created a brand-new method for measuring thermal conductivity.
After listening to this, Foton was very sad and regretted.
He sighed: "If I had put on the hat of' innovation' instead of' habit', that young man would never have taken away my honor."
For Fortune, this is obviously a tragedy. This tragedy happened because Fortun fell into the trap of conformity because of his weak willpower. The success of that young American scientist is precisely because he got rid of the bondage of conformity psychology. Therefore, how important is it to prevent blind conformity?
It's easier said than done to think independently and stick to your own point of view. In addition to preventing blind conformity, we should not just be bookish, supercilious, superstitious about authority and blindly believe in existing knowledge and experience. In the textbook "Introduction to Innovative Thinking" and "Training of Innovative Thinking" used by the University of Rhoda, the author not only asks people to "prevent blind conformity", but also asks people to "treat authority comprehensively", "treat books correctly" and "avoid sticking to experience", which is precisely the reason. These points have been explained in detail in the textbook, so I won't repeat them here.
Fourth, stay confident and never give up.
As mentioned at the beginning of this paper, fixed thinking is beneficial to our conventional thinking. Get up in the morning, get dressed, brush your teeth, wash your face and have breakfast. This is true from generation to generation, and everyone is like this. Why do you need to break the mindset? Bud acts according to his mind set, but he is fast and efficient. Therefore, when we need to break the mindset most, it is often when we encounter setbacks and difficulties. However, the chronic disease of human beings lies in laziness. When people encounter setbacks and difficulties, they are also most likely to lose confidence. Especially after hard work and exploration, we finally failed, which made it easier for us to give up. Therefore, to break the mindset, we must go forward bravely and be fearless.
To this end, we must maintain a high degree of self-confidence. David Dugan, the "big shot" in sports, said: "If you think you have fallen, then you have fallen; If you think you can stand, you will stand ... In life, the strong are not necessarily winners, but victory belongs to those who have confidence sooner or later. "
Brush is an important tool for writing and painting, which has a history of thousands of years in China. Even in today's high-tech era, the writing brush is still loved by Chinese people and still has its market. Not to mention that calligraphers need a lot of writing brushes, only that primary school students draw red, and the sales of writing brushes are considerable every year. However, after all, great changes have taken place in today's era, and the brush machine market is shrinking.
A company specializing in the production of writing brushes. Seeing that the writing brush market is shrinking and the product inventory is overstocked, everyone is very anxious. How can we open the market and expand sales? The factory organizes a big discussion among employees. However, after several months of discussion, we still can't find a satisfactory answer. Is it really at the end of its tether? Just when everyone no longer has any hope for the improvement of the enterprise situation, one employee still hasn't stopped thinking. Finally, one day, he had a whim: "Can people who don't use writing brushes buy writing brushes?"
The whimsy of the employees made the factory leaders understand instantly. As a result, the factory reconsidered its business strategy and changed the traditional writing brush into a commemorative pen-a fetal writing brush made of baby's fetal hair, a knot pen made of newlyweds' hair and a longevity pen made of old people's hair. In addition, family fun pens, birthday pens and friendship pens have been developed. This development strategy aroused people's great interest, and suddenly the market opened and financial resources rolled in.
What contributed to this success? Bud is confidence. Imagine that when everyone no longer has any hope for the improvement of the enterprise situation, employees also lose confidence and stop thinking. What will the enterprise look like? Samuel smiles, a British scholar, wrote in his book Save Yourself: "The poorest people also have their peaks, but this has not proved to be an insurmountable difficulty on their way to success." Therefore, in the face of setbacks and difficulties, as long as we don't lose heart, don't be discouraged and don't back down under any circumstances, we will certainly make a breakthrough and welcome flowers and applause!
