preface

Today, when I was having dinner on the road, I heard a conversation between two people of unknown company next to me. One of them might be a TL or something, because this conversation is very familiar and I heard it a lot when I was young

“You don’t want your ass to decide your head, you want pattern, pattern you know, have big plate in your heart” “…”

After listening to this, I can not help but smile after years of mixed career, do not talk about ability only talk about pattern will become delusion

The body of the

An engineer’s pattern

The pattern of the people is always changing, when we do not take the initiative to talk about pattern, what do you do when you graduate from intern engineer, your pattern is likely to do their work as well, as far as possible don’t make a mistake, and then in a few years, you become a senior engineer, you will find that the pattern of your larger, start thinking about what you have to work outside, For example, the business of the partner, the direction of the product, the change of the market, the development of the industry and so on…

When you move into a management position and become a TL, if you are a QUALIFIED TL, you will find that you have a bigger picture and start thinking about team goals, vision, team growth, other people and other people around you

So if a person continues to grow and his career is going well, his pattern will naturally get bigger. And then you see that pattern is really the sphere of influence of a person’s ability.

So it’s like the chicken-and-egg question. Is it the existing structure or the existing capabilities?

Capacity is the cornerstone of the pattern

In fact, the relationship between ability and pattern is symbiotic, rather than a chicken-and-egg relationship. When you have a certain ability, there will be a matching pattern, which is a good explanation of Mencius’ “poverty leads to isolation. In a sense, the influence of pattern is the subjective manifestation of a person’s ability. The reason why we say “subjective” is that people’s ability does not naturally produce pattern, which requires us to take the initiative to influence the surroundings from our subjective consciousness. This change in subjective consciousness is actually pattern

Short is your first put their own ability to ascend, for example as a trainee engineer you learn a lot of excellent source of design idea, at the same time in the engineering practice and application, with the experience and understanding of ascension, your ability is enhanced, and then the rest of the team at this time was met some problems have been solved, So you take the initiative to share your ideas, your ideas, and that’s when your pattern is created.

So a person who wants to have a larger pattern depends on two prerequisites

  • Strong enough to be able to output and influence others
  • A genuine willingness to share

And when you do not have as strong ability, and the heart is not approved, did not want to share or help others to solve the problem, someone told you to work with a pattern, if you listen to, and force yourself to do something against their ability, and reverse hypnosis himself said, this is the pattern, this is the pattern, I understand that there is no pattern at this time and that it is just a delusion for you

The pattern without ability is delusion

We also just a trainee engineer, for example, we can only do his own work, but because performance is excellent, Tl to cultivate training, then gave a public technology abstract and the landing of live, it need to influence the whole seven or eight different experiences of a team of colleagues, to persuade the corresponding product resources and so on, if no accident, It is most likely that there will be no result, especially when you encounter some setbacks, colleagues do not cooperate with you or do not recognize your plan, you will shrink back and think that it should not be your own business, but when you report to your Tl, if he is not qualified Tl, he is likely to say the sentence at the beginning of the article

“You don’t want your ass to decide your head, you want pattern, pattern you know, big plate in your heart.”

Then you are forced to push it, but the results are not satisfactory. Eventually the Tl becomes unsatisfied that you are not big enough to step out of your comfort zone, and you wonder if you are too small.

However, it is not. The unqualified Tl only sees the pattern, but does not see the ability that the pattern matches, does not care whether you have such ability, and does not think about how to make you have such ability.

The latter

End with a sentence, empty talk pattern mistake life, when you are said pattern is not big enough, must carefully examine yourself, is really enough ability, but the heart did not share and output ideas? Or actually do not have the ability to produce pattern, this problem has to look dialectically. Don’t deny yourself too easily
