Halfway through the garage, a bomb suddenly fell from the sky and exploded near the car, almost overturning Churchill's car. If Churchill got on the bus through the door opened by his assistant, he might have died.
When he got home, Churchill's wife asked him why he was sitting on the other side. Churchill replied, "when I was about to get on the bus, a voice said' stop' and told me to go in through another door, so I did."
When I first saw this story, I thought Churchill was lucky, but I was also curious about why he could escape by intuition.
Until recently, I read Zhou Ling's The Awakening of Cognition, saying that each of us has three brains: instinctive brain, emotional brain and rational brain.
Although the rational brain is advanced, compared with the instinctive brain and the emotional brain, the motivation is too weak and the ability to control the brain is also very weak.
In times of crisis, when we make decisions, we often mobilize our instincts. "Feeling" is actually a message sent by the subconscious mind.
There is an advanced system hidden in our bodies, which is our subconscious.
People's cognitive ability needs to be accumulated from scratch, but the subconscious has always existed. It's an egg left by life.
The subconscious mind has no thinking, only cares about what is in front of it, which is part of nature. At the same time, it processes information very quickly and can perceive a lot of imperceptible information very keenly.
In the process of learning and growing up, if you are good at using the subconscious mind, with its help, you will get unexpected gains.
Cheng Jia, the author of Study Hard, mentioned a very interesting learning method-learning by feeling.
He invented his own reading method-"non-reading fusion".
The so-called "fuse does not read" means that once you see inspiring content in reading, it will trigger the fuse and stop reading immediately.
What do you do after you stop reading? Ask yourself some questions around this trigger point:
This is the master's learning method: first use perceptual ability to help you choose, and then use rational ability to help you think.
The touch in the text comes from sensibility, and the problem comes from rationality. Perception comes first, reason comes last. The principle behind this is to perceive by capturing subconscious signals.
The goal of life is to store our enthusiasm and energy.
Unfortunately, most people have not found their own goals in life.
In order to find their own goals in life, many people try to analyze what is worth doing and what is not. Repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, it is easy to get lost and lose motivation.
Zhou Ling, the author of Cognitive Awakening, tells us that people who really wake up often use perception instead of thinking consciously or unconsciously.
Rational analysis and calculation can't solve the real needs of the heart, only perceptual awareness and insight can make the answer surface.
Professor Hong Lan's suggestion: when faced with a choice, we should "listen to the brain for small things and listen to the heart for big things"
When we are faced with important choices in life, it may be a better strategy to use perceptual choices first and then rational thinking.
Each of us has planted the seeds of life goals in our hearts for a long time. It's just that in adulthood, due to the pressure of life, rational thinking began to weigh all kinds of advantages and disadvantages, unwilling to admit or deliberately ignore our original dreams, while perceptual power has been helping us protect and cherish those ideals.
Finding the goal of life "by feeling" is the top way of life growth.
Growth, like reading, has three areas, and comfort zone is our favorite and most natural choice; Stretching area can touch us, which is a perceptual choice; The difficult area is what we want and a rational choice.
