What is independent thinking? How to think independently

In this information-flooded, noisy, contradictory and vacillating workplace, how can we keep making progress? That can only be independent thinking.

But in reality, we are often beaten in the face, which makes us forget independent thinking and makes independent thinking a very extravagant ability.

What causes independent thinking to become a very extravagant ability? Lao Wang thinks there are three reasons:

1, there is no time, energy or money to systematically learn professional knowledge. Because all independent thinking is based on professional knowledge and social practice.

Especially in the impetuous workplace, many people have no time to sit down and study.

A few days ago, a friend asked Lao Wang for advice. Lao Wang thinks that he should study systematically to help his work. But the other party said that he was restless and could not study quietly. ...

The so-called inability to study with peace of mind is actually an excuse. Everyone knows that learning is a very hard thing, especially learning needs long-term persistence. Short-term investment in learning often fails to achieve the desired results, so giving up is often the first choice.

Also, learning needs to invest time, energy and money, which is the real reason why the other party is unwilling to learn. Lao Wang believes that in the current workplace, if you don't try to learn knowledge systematically, you may soon fall behind. Once you fall behind, you will regress. Once you regress, you will retreat to the end.

2. Many people spend their time and energy on trivial matters, spend money where they shouldn't, and then pass the time like salted fish to avoid thinking.

According to Lao Wang's investigation, quite a few people have no time after work, but waste their time on trivial things. For example, a young couple in Shanghai, after dinner, they don't want to study or chat, but both of them play games with their mobile phones for one night, which leads to listlessness and chaos at work during the day.

Lao Wang believes that what young people should do most is to devote their time and energy to how to improve their abilities, instead of wasting their lives like salted fish.

3, often accept "feeding" training, which leads you to think more and more independently. This is particularly prominent. Because many people participated in the "feeding" training, people gradually lost the ability to think independently.

A few days ago, Lao Wang communicated with a friend who was engaged in curriculum development. He believes that curriculum development is to tell students how to do the first step and how to do the second step. Whether it can be done well is his personal business. ...

After listening to it, Lao Wang thought it was right and there was nothing wrong with it. But Lao Wang wants to say that such training will make many people in the workplace lose the ability to think independently.

Lao Wang believes that real training should be to analyze the causes of problems in theory, then tell users the ways to solve problems through cases, and finally give you tools to solve problems and guide users to solve problems themselves. But this kind of training is not good for harvesting leeks, but it is a kind of conscience training.

If you change to "hello" training, although users are very happy in a short time, it will be fatal to users in the long run. This kind of injury not only makes users lose the ability of independent thinking, but also seriously misleads users.

So, how can we think independently? Lao Wang believes that developing the habit of independent thinking starts from the following points:

1, take the initiative to learn and accept new knowledge, provided that the knowledge must be systematized. Whether you are active or passive, learning is the only choice for your progress. Lao Wang knows a friend, 44 years old, who is not a financial major. He knows nothing about finance, but he has strong learning ability and social practice ability. Now he is the general manager of a fund company. Therefore, as long as you are willing to study systematically, it is never too late for people in the workplace. The key is whether you can persist and be willing to learn.

2, bold practice, time but no practice is equal to zero. Only when you encounter problems in applying knowledge will you think deeply. Master Lao Wang often said that the purpose of learning is to apply. Lao Wang believes that if you don't apply what you have learned, your study will be of no value, but a waste of time.

Only in the application can we find problems, actively solve problems and master knowledge more deeply and systematically.

3, in-depth analysis of the problem, find the problem of * * *, at the same time use your system knowledge to make a comprehensive judgment, and finally give a conclusion. The problem of analysis is that you spread the knowledge you have learned in a distributed way, which is also a test for you to master the knowledge. So you need to analyze the problem frequently to judge. The most commonly used problem analysis method is SWOT rule.

4. Summarize the problems, form your opinions or theories, spread them abroad, and let more people learn and master them. Mastering knowledge is not perfect. The real perfection is: use the knowledge you have learned to form your own independent viewpoint or theoretical system, and then spread it to the outside world, so that more people can learn and master it and make more progress.

So, what should we do for people in the workplace? Old Wang Jianyi:

1, avoid "feeding" training, take part in more training that can make you think and apply it to thinking.

2. Don't attend the training without theoretical foundation. Any knowledge must have a theoretical basis, otherwise it is best not to participate. Training without theoretical support is basically the training of cutting leeks.

3. Take systematic training, especially systematic courses, but never take the course "What will you learn in a few days". These are all courses for cutting leeks.

Write it at the end

Diligence is necessary, but it is far from enough, because diligence has become a standard for people in the workplace. Only by thinking independently can you stand out and become the winner who laughs last.
