preface

  • The book “Up” was originally bought as a self-help book for my family, but I finished reading it first.
  • Always remember a sentence “the most terrible thing in the world is not that someone is better than you, but that people who are better than you work harder than you”. If you want to be excellent, you only need to work harder than others. So let’s look at how the author achieved excellence. What common problems can we extract from the author’s experience, so as to solve our current doubts?

1. Record your reading

1.1 Book Information

“Up” — Proud zhang

1.2 Preview & Questions

  • 1. Question: The underlying logic and way of cognition of the world?
  • 2, interest: efficient learning methods
  • 3. Interest: the method of full expression
  • Interest: leverage the future
  • 5. Question: Current situation, advantages and disadvantages
  • 6. Question: Future planning (excellent model)

1.3 Think: Is delayed gratification really reasonable?

“Up” also refers to a concept common in contemporary success science called deferred gratification: the willingness to suppress gratification in the present in exchange for the higher-value gratification of a long-term investment.

As you can see, “deferred gratification” is essentially the suppression of wants and needs, motivating yourself with future rewards, and requiring willpower to get through the period. It depletes your willpower and raises your expectations. If this expectation deviates from the ultimate reward, it is easy to fall into disappointment and frustration.

The real skill is to look for “long-term feedback,” to take longer (not longer) to report, to spread the process over the whole process of achieving your goal, and to learn to get periodic satisfaction from it. Long-term feedback does not suppress desires and needs, but uses a more flexible way to inject energy into the process, reward yourself with periodic gratification, and ultimately promote the achievement of goals.

2. Summary of views

The following is a summary of the book’s ideas.

1. Step up

  • Poor information: Everyone sees only a projection of the real world, so everyone has their own information bias. To learn to question and criticize, and maintain communication with the outside world, to avoid blind men feeling the elephant;
  • Get out of your Comfort Zone: If you don’t walk out, you’ll think this is the world. So as to close oneself to the scope of the eye and forget the world;
  • The head effect: The head often gets more attention and resources in a field. To be successful, you must make sure that you are improving and improving every time you choose a platform.
  • Extensibility of goals: When setting goals, set challenging targets that exceed your ability;
  • Suitable platform:
    • 1, observation learning: to find the target object and development path
    • Force: give yourself time to grow
    • 3. Summary: When entering the platform leadership position, summarize how the past has been achieved and apply it to the next jump

2. Study effectively

  • What to learn:
    • 1. Known: active retrieval, internalizing the learned knowledge into long-term memory
    • 2. Unknown: Summarize and refine the knowledge system, and apply it flexibly when encountering unknown problems
  • Deliberate practice: Practice is not simply repetition, but proper practice with good mentors, goals, and feedback
  • Challenge your brain’s inertia: process yourself with repeated tests instead of reciting or memorizing in established order; Interval problems, against the forgetting curve
  • Extract mental model:
    • 1. Build knowledge structure: discard irrelevant information and extract core concepts
    • 2, explore the general law: pay attention to the general characteristics of things, infer the general law

3. Express yourself

  • Advantages of expression: people who have clear rules and know how to express themselves can make communication more efficient, and they can be recognized, accepted and new quickly, and get more opportunities than others
  • Initiative: The Art of speaking
  • Passive expression: STAR model
  • Personal Ability Map:Organize what you have done in each stage into modules in the form of ICONS (each module includes what you have done, what you have achieved and others’ comments)
    • 1. Recall: recall what was done at this stage, specific working methods, what influences were generated, comments from different people, and main abilities displayed
    • 2. Extracting key words: scan the common ability characteristics in different stages of experience and summarize and extract key words. This will allow you to connect your experiences from different periods and show off your unique qualities (teamwork, analysis, multi-threading, leadership, presentation, problem-solving, questioning).
    • 3, cutting: presented in a grid, horizontal is the time, vertical is the ability of key words
  • Story: Each ability is matched with a story, using the story to show your ability

4. Time leverage

  • Time leverage: Maximize the use of time
  • Time management:Flexible and efficient use of time through planning and tools to achieve personal or organizational goals;
    • 1, make a plan: four quadrant method (planning; Preferred; Delay; Control)
    • 2, to prevent interference: tomato clock method; Resolve sudden interruptions in execution (direct rejection/self-isolation)
    • 3. Managing other people’s Time: An empowering work mindset
  • Energy management: biological clock; Basic exercise; diet
  • Wonder question: When confronted with something you don’t want to do, assume a miracle happens — the goal is achieved, and then rationally think about what you need to do to make the miracle happen. To reduce their negative emotions
  • The 80/20 rule: Focus on what’s important; Pull your weight at important times
  • Fake effort: Avoid the “fake effort” trap, do something that actually contributes value, and make your work visible
  • Bain’s working principles: the 80/20 rule; Answer First (give a hypothetical Answer, then argue around the hypothesis, improve or refute it), let us focus more; As a Result Driven, work backwards around the goal, never do anything that will not help you achieve your goal.

Social leverage

  • The foundation of friendship: Shared experience is the foundation of true friendship
  • Social leverage: Find powerful connections you don’t know, gain more resources, stand on the shoulders of giants and be seen by more people. At the same time, establish yourself as a link between different social networks, which can lead to better connections
  • Social productivity: The benefit or value of social interaction/the cost of time or effort
  • Classification of social: up social & peer social & Down social
  • Socialize up:Learn from people with higher cognitive level to help erase the cognitive time difference
    • 1, to the current can touch the target learning (120% theory) : do not deliberately know those who are far beyond their current ability (older teachers/professors/seniors or in the workplace does not involve direct relationship of interest)
    • 2. Keep a sense of proportion
  • Peer networking: Offer different perspectives, but not guidance
  • Social downward: the most pleasant feeling, be wary of sinking
  • Social security: Without any conflicts of interest or competition with the people you are networking with, communication will be more sincere and effective
  • Break barriers: different circles, but also stronger integration
  • How to become an important node in a social network:
    • 1. Sort out social relationships and clarify repetitive and non-repetitive relationships
    • 2. Consciously add non-repetitive relationships: avoid redundant information
    • 3. Expand the network structure by non-repeating relationships: Integrate non-repeating contacts into different social circles and gradually build a network of contacts
    • 4, break the barrier of social circle = improve the efficiency of connections: take the initiative to build Bridges between different friends and help their resources to grow in a flexible way

6. Crossover leverage

  • Crossover lever:The fusion of a certain characteristic of its own resources and other seemingly unrelated resources, mutually magnify the value of resources
    • Personal: Use your strengths to forge a new niche and become someone who cannot be easily replaced
    • Business level: called the first in the crossover category
  • Pluralistic thinking:Jump out of the limits of point, line and plane, and use the basic theories of different disciplines to think about problems from different angles
    • 1. Rules derived from experience
    • 2. Methodology extracted from the law
    • 3. Basic theories found in methodology

7. Reframe your thinking

  • Thinking outside the trap:
    • 1. Survivor bias: Focusing too much on what survived while ignoring what didn’t, resulting in false conclusions
    • 2, confirmation bias: people always tend to identify, focus on what evidence or information that supported his arguments, or the existing information explanation towards support his point of view as far as possible, and repeatedly confirmed that he believes is right (barnum effect: people often think that the personality of a general, general description very accurately, the paper reveals the features of his)
    • 3. Fundamental attribution error: When explaining others’ behavior, people tend to overestimate internal factors such as personal characteristics and attitudes, while underestimating the influence of environmental factors
    • 4. The self-serving bias: People tend to attribute the successes of others and their own failures to external factors, while attributing the failures of others and their own successes to internal factors
    • 5, self-check no mistake trap: “the same method of inspection, error can not be checked”, when we make decisions and used to check the use of the same set of thinking method, it is difficult to find mistakes (action and self-check use two sets of experience system; Introduce competition)
  • Two types of underlying thinking:
    • Induction: Obtain information first, deduce from local phenomenon to global theory
    • Deductive: to put forward a theory first and verify it by observing the phenomenon locally (there is a necessary relationship between the premises and the conclusion of the inference)
  • Life motivation:
    • Intrinsic motivation: Knowing what you want and being willing to explore the world
    • Extrinsic motivation: extrinsic reasoning (parental expectations, material rewards, environmental push)

8. Rhythm of life

  • The importance of decision making: Every thought is a change, but we can’t predict the outcome until it arrives. The quality of your life depends on the quality of key decisions, decisions that are made unintentionally and often have a major impact on the future. Therefore, we should take every decision seriously and prove it is worthwhile with actions
  • Decision system:
    • Simple things (low difficulty, low cost to make mistakes) : Use brain system 1 to make intuitive judgments
    • Complex things: Using brain system 2’s rationality and logic (what is the goal of this question; What are the criteria for judging; What are the expected results/benefits?
    • Important things (high decision difficulty, high cost of error) : Go back to System 1 to check again (whether the risk tolerance limit is exceeded; Does it fit the motive?)
  • Learn decision-making from successful people: How to determine the credibility of ideas (people who have successfully solved related problems multiple times; Who can logically explain cause and effect behind a conclusion)
  • The jetlag: The better people or the more internally motivated they are, the more they worry about not doing well enough. Everyone is walking in their own time zone, do not because of the speed of the moment, affect the original pace, do not lead to mental imbalance.

9. Delay gratification

  • Entropy reduction: fast access to information, constantly indulge themselves, is to comply with human entropy increase. Delayed gratification is a process of entropy reduction that resists gratification in the moment and is willing to forgo gratification in the present for a more valuable long-term outcome
  • Time compounding: If you do the right things, time will do wonders.

Recently, I set up an Android exchange group, hope we can discuss technology together, find like-minded friends, need can scan code into the group!
