Thinking determines behavior, and behavior determines the result. One cannot earn wealth beyond cognition.

What is cognition? I think for an individual, cognition is to look at the angle and depth of the problem, the method of solving the problem and the mentality of doing things.

How to improve cognition and thinking quickly? I think it is mainly to achieve the following four points:

1, read more books

Reading is a process of constantly exploring the author's thinking. Combined with the author's own thinking. Is to upgrade your thinking.

If you don't study, your thoughts may come from your parents and relatives, and the thoughts of people around us may limit you.

Reading gives you a chance to get in touch with the thoughts of the greatest and most outstanding people in human history. For example, Zeng Guofan's letters and Franklin's autobiography made me understand that I should be strict with myself, introspective and diligent every day; Seven habits of highly effective people constantly renew the habit of self-improvement and cooperation with others. Transition made me understand that success can make use of potential and borrow wisdom. Insight into the underlying logic and use the principle of leverage. Activate your own potential. Be smart and diligent. Non-violent communication fades away the invisible mental violence, keeps inner peace, and naturally produces love and harmony.

Reading can effectively improve a person's understanding, pattern and thinking, thinking changes behavior, behavior changes habits, and habits change life. Let habits become subconscious behavior.

Reading one book by heart is better than reading ten books, and reading one book is all in one. Just find your own life direction, life stage, problems to be solved, and choose the classic books that suit you. Use psychological methods to find the author's thinking and his own thinking, and form new ideas to solve problems.

2. Challenge your boundaries

After watching Deliberate Exercise, you will know that it is difficult to grow and change in the comfort zone. The best way is to get out of the comfort zone, enter the growth zone and break through your own boundaries. The world you see is naturally different.

I am a person who likes to try new things and constantly challenge myself. In the past two years, I have made many attempts, not only gaining many new skills, breaking through myself, but also making many excellent like-minded friends.

Recently, I have done a lot of challenges: successfully challenging the morning exercise fitness plan, opening the official WeChat account and daily farming; Get up early every day and study for an hour every day; Set up a reading community and share a book every week; Himalayan recording audio.

Through constant trial and breakthrough, your growth and change are also rapid. Step out of your comfort zone and you will meet a different person.

3. Continuous output (Feynman learning method)

Buffett said: "The easiest way to increase your value by 50% is to hone your communication skills, both in writing and oral expression."

The best output methods are voice and writing.

I insist on writing every day, making video numbers, reading and sharing every week, and often going to different occasions to give lectures and training. Continuous output is also a method of rapid growth.

Every writing and speech is an iteration of its own. Writing can help you sort out the knowledge structure and make your thinking more systematic and structured. Speech sharing is an in-depth communication with others. Teaching is the best way to learn. In the process of teaching, it is a process of internalizing what you already know. Through other people's feedback, you can check and fill in the gaps, and master the knowledge more solidly and thoroughly.

Through output, you can also force input. In order to express yourself better, you need to keep learning new knowledge and fill in the blind spots of knowledge.

Constant output means constant learning and iteration, and it is also a good way to improve yourself quickly.

4, with excellent people, learn to think and do things (environment)

We all want to make friends with excellent people. In fact, being with them is not learning knowledge, but learning other people's ways of thinking and behavior. Vision determines the realm and directly affects how far we can go.

As we grow older, everyone is doing subtraction, reducing friends who don't care, and reducing unreasonable lifestyles. So if you want to make good friends, you should first care, be sincere and do something. Here, I share three ways.

The first method is to pay. Enter the quality circle.

Of course, many people can't open their minds and think that joining the circle is just to learn knowledge, which is to lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds.

The second way is to invest in yourself and make yourself valuable.

Third, walk with strength. Go out and connect deeply.

The most important thing is to act, act, act, and say the important things three times, and take the road of Wan Li!
