The underlying logic determines a person's mental model, ability structure, and behavioral characteristics
If a person does not grasp the underlying logic, any effort is inefficient
What is the underlying logic?
There are two types of knowledge in this world, one type of knowledge is called Tao, and the other type of knowledge is called art.
Technique is a trick method routine, is it telling you what to do?
And the Tao is the essence of the principle and law, is it to tell you why you do this?
Any technique comes from the Tao.
The so-called underlying logic is this Tao, which is the basic law and principle of the operation of things.
Take an example and you will understand
Let's say you're facing three problems right now:
Find people, apply for jobs, and sell things
How can these three problems be solved?
Most people encounter these three problems and will feel that they need to learn how to master emotions, how to write resumes in job interviews, and how to sell.
But in fact, all three problems are essentially one problem
That's sales, what is sales?
It is the ability to make others believe and recognize, and once you have this ability, it will become easy to buy things or sell yourself.
The essence of getting off the order is to show your own personality, characteristics, strength, etc. and let the opposite sex recognize, once the other party recognizes it, then sell yourself, so get off the list.
The essence of job search is to show past performance, ability, etc. and let HR recognize, once HR recognizes, then sell yourself, so get an offer.
Sales is the underlying logic of job interview selling things, and many people do not see the underlying logic behind these three problems, so they can solve whatever problems they encounter.
Each area of the world has its own expertise, but the underlying logic of these fields is the same, and the deeper things dig, the closer they go to the bottom.
Knowledge and skills by industry and position
But the underlying logic is not separated, it is all-in-one.
Buffett once said: To understand the world, there is a good way, first study the things in this field, dig out the underlying logic, as long as you can do this, it is easy to get other fields.
No matter what kind of industry you are in, as long as you can understand the underlying logic of your industry, you can see through many other industries.
When you learn how to sell things and know that the underlying logic behind it is sales, then you will naturally learn how to interview jobs and how to get off orders.
Once you grasp the underlying logic, you can see the entire forest from a leaf, the sea from a drop of water, and the sky from a cloud.
Now the core problem of people is too impetuous, they only want to learn various skills, but do not explore the principles behind them, so the more they learn, the more confused, but do not know how to do it.
For example, many people have poor learning ability, poor expression ability, poor thinking ability, poor comprehension ability and so on
They will learn all kinds of reading methods, note-taking methods, expression methods, etc., and these books on the market are all techniques, all at the skill level.
But never thought about what is the underlying logic behind these abilities? How does our brain really process analytical information?
It is always a headache and a pain in the foot, falling into inefficient diligence.
If you don't really realize that the underlying logic behind these abilities is logical thinking, you will never be able to truly improve these abilities.
For example, many people like to apply for some popular majors such as finance during the college entrance examination, thinking that these majors are close to money and can earn a lot of money after studying.
But in fact, if you look closely at some of those who study this major, most of them say that this major is very watery, and graduation is unemployment.
The reason is simple, what really determines the discipline of finance is some of the more difficult basic subjects such as mathematics, and these basic disciplines are the underlying logic.
It is the same to teach others to make money on the market, these courses generally attract attention, what side business monetization, self-media IP to create courses.
But there are very few people who can really make money after learning, and many mothers feel that they have not made money after learning, and they are cutting leeks.
Are these courses wrong? So why do some people make money?
Because the underlying logic of making money is never a certain course, but a strong belief, high cognition, action, learning ability and so on.
It's the underlying logic that you can't see that determines the abilities and results you see others achieve.
Only by laying a good foundation on the ground can we establish a tall superstructure, see the essence in an instant, grasp the main points, and respond to changes unchanged.
Otherwise, no matter how many methods you learn, as long as you do not master the principle, you will not be able to fundamentally solve the problem.
How to really grasp the underlying logic?
1. Learn knowledge that seems useless
What is useful knowledge? Many people think that to make money, they learn the method close to money, what finance and what marketing methods, think that this is useful
But never think about what the methods behind these methods are, and the methods behind these methods are seemingly useless knowledge.
As I mentioned earlier, if you do not master the underlying principles, no matter how much you learn, it will be a headache and cannot fundamentally solve the problem.
The reason why Huawei has achieved a leading position in various technologies is because they have been deeply engaged in basic disciplines, such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
And once you master the underlying logic, you will really have very little knowledge to learn.
The key to improving the ability to understand, express, think, and learn is not the best-selling books on the market, but logical thinking that is not mentioned much and is useless.
The key to what really determines a person's earnings is not the best-selling marketing startup books on the market, but the human nature that is not mentioned or useful.
Of course, the top master does not study human nature, but cultivates a high-level soul and does things with a noble personality, mission and vision.
People with this trait can succeed no matter what they do.
These seem very empty, in this materialistic and impetuous society, you mention these lofty ideals and ambitions to others, and others will even say that you are neurotic.
But it is these seemingly useless people that make those excellent entrepreneurs.
2. Learn ideas instead of learning knowledge
Many people think that learning is learning knowledge, which is the biggest misunderstanding
All teachers, books, and classes that directly tell you the methods, skills, and answers are indiscriminate.
In a mediocre classroom, the teacher constantly gives students answers, so that students do not have to think anymore, so they do not know why
An excellent classroom is when the teacher constantly asks students questions, so that students can master the idea of solving problems, and let students give teachers answers
When studying, we should not only learn the so-called dry goods, but also learn how this dry goods came from, how the author's thinking is, and what the author's thinking process is.
This is how we can learn the underlying logic
It is important to remember that the ability to acquire knowledge is far more important than the knowledge itself.
