Night Reading | In dealing with people, grasp three types of thinking
The extent of one's achievements in life is largely determined by their mindset, which serves as the premise and foundation. A psychologist once mentioned that what truly sets people apart is more often their thinking patterns. In this world, there are no impassable roads or insurmountable tasks. What often stands in your way are erroneous and rigid thought processes. To master the art of dealing with people and situations, it is essential to cultivate these three types of thinking.
Green Light Thinking: Lower Yourself and Keep Learning Externally There are individuals who are excessively self-centered, overestimate themselves, are unwilling to accept new things, and lack flexibility. This mindset is referred to as "Red Light Thinking." In contrast, those with "Green Light Thinking" always view everything with an open and inclusive attitude; they continuously expand their understanding, acknowledge their shortcomings, and maximize their growth. People with a broad perspective always recognize others' excellence and continuously improve themselves. Lowering oneself is believing in having unlimited upward potential; turning on the green light, the world will eventually provide a clear path.
From Simple Thinking: Learn to Let Go and Not Be Disturbed by the Worldly Dust. The more you possess, the richer and happier your life will not necessarily be; being occupied by too many unnecessary things makes the heart more tired and the path harder to tread. The wise way of living is to simplify, lighten the load, and courageously let go, allowing yourself to move forward with ease. Everything starts from simplicity, living a simple life, to face all the worldly disturbances with composure, and live a noble and free life.
Systems Thinking: Prioritizing the Big Picture, Standing High and Seeing Far What is Systems Thinking? It is the ability to balance short-term and long-term interests, local and overall interests, and analyze problems from a higher, holistic perspective. When faced with unexpected situations, most people are overly concerned with optimizing the local aspects. However, a master at chess always thinks one move ahead and plans three moves ahead. Those with foresight can start from the whole picture and the long term. The larger the perspective, the more likely life will be on an upward trajectory. Not rushing for immediate success, not dwelling on momentary gains or losses; fully committing to truly meaningful endeavors is the possibility of a gradual accumulation leading to a sudden breakthrough.
One's life, the extent of one's achievements, the way of thinking is the premise, the foundation. Maintain passion for what you do, continuously improve your skills, constantly hone and cultivate yourself. One day, you will reap a bountiful harvest and become the master of your own destiny.
