Chapter 511: The Lookout Effect

"Presumably, having said that, everyone has understood that once we have a firm and real goal, then we will instinctively work towards that goal, and we will instinctively think that no matter how difficult it is to achieve the goal, we will have various ways to achieve it. See, I set the goal and then drew a line that didn't have anything, and you, supplementing this three-dimensional image, are also supplementing your own life! This fits well with the lookout effect I created. ”

"The lookout effect?" Nedern immediately asked.

"Yes, that's my personal experience in Lion Port. We know that the sea is full of endless power, and every ship and every crew member is fighting against the sea. The crew occasionally wins, and the sea is never defeated. I vividly remember that day, several fleets sailed together to avoid pirates, and when they approached the island of Chios, they encountered a storm and a reef, and several ships sank, and the combined fleet returned. The returning crew gathered in the tavern with sad faces and told the whole story. ”

They talked about many things, and then suddenly one of the lookouts scolded the lookout who had sunk the ship, saying that if they had listened carefully to the old crew about Chios, the ship would not have been sunk. He said that two days before the flotilla departed, he and the lookouts of the other ships had a drink in the tavern, and as they were about to leave, an old crew member told him about the island of Chios. ”

Some of these lookouts knew that the next voyage would pass through Chios, and some did not, and most of them stopped to listen to the old crew, and the latter either left directly or left impatiently after listening for a while. The watchmen who remained learned that at low tide there would be a reef in the sea southwest of Chios, which was usually obvious, but it would be difficult to see in the dark of night or in the event of a storm. The lookouts who were present at the time all took note of the incident. ”

"As a result, all the lookouts who had heard about Chios at that time, because they were prepared, looked very carefully at the surface of the sea when the storm occurred, found the reef, and turned ahead of time."

"However, the lookouts who left early were careless and did not pay close attention, and as a result, the ship rushed into the reef area and all of them were annihilated."

Su Ye paused for a moment, let the students digest the story, and then continued to speak slowly.

"At that time, all the people in the tavern either regretted it, or scolded the lookouts for being stupid, and said anything. But I realized that the lookouts who left early could not be blamed for this, for they did not know that they were going to pass through Chios, and if they knew that they were going to pass through Chios, they would most likely stay and listen to the old crew members tell about Chios. ”

"Later, I deliberately observed some people, mainly sailors, and I found a very interesting thing. If a person knows in advance that they are going to a certain place, they will instinctively pay attention once they meet someone talking about the place, and will even give up other things to listen. If you don't know the purpose, most of the time you ignore it. I do, and most people do. ”

"Once we have a goal, then we instinctively focus on everything that will help us accomplish it, and that's the lookout effect. I'm not the only one, I've found that most people do. Even Hort, everyone knew he was stupid, but whenever someone talked about how he became a warrior, he would instinctively listen and make a secret note of it. ”

"After I settled on the lookout effect, it dawned on me that the old crew member was talking about a message that would help us, which I call a signal of opportunity. If the signal of opportunity is related to one's goal, most people will pay attention, and if the signal of opportunity is not related to one's goal, everyone will give up. And much later, we often suddenly remember, and then lament that we missed an opportunity, and then find all kinds of reasons. ”

"I have a neighbor who often said that when he was young, he had all kinds of opportunities, such as one time if he could set off with the fleet, he would definitely earn thousands of gold eagles when he came back, but he didn't go. Then, he excused himself, saying that he was taking care of his family at the time, saying that he had no money at that time, etc., etc. In short, he believes that the problem is not himself, everything is just a coincidence. When this neighbor talked about him, I sympathized with him, and I thought he was right. ”

"However, after I discovered this lookout effect, I realized that in fact, we will encounter countless signals of opportunity in our lives, and there are many reasons why we didn't care about it at the time, but one of the important reasons is that we didn't have a clear goal at that time. Once we have a clear goal, a strong goal, then, once the opportunity comes, we will instinctively seize it, and we will not let go of death! ”

Su Ye looked at his classmates who were a little puzzled.

"Regarding the lookout effect and opportunity signals, let me make a very simple analogy, what would you do if you were walking down the road and saw a magician passing by with bottles and cans on his back? You'll look at it a few more times at most, and then you don't care, right? ”

The students nodded slightly.

"But what would you do if your family was seriously ill and the doctors couldn't treat you, and you were walking helplessly down the street and suddenly saw a magician passing by with bottles and cans on his back? Tell me! ”

Su Ye looked at his classmates.

"Buy medicine from him!"

"Ask him if he can help my family!"

"Please let him save my family!"

The students spoke enthusiastically.

Su Ye said: "Now everyone understands. If we want to fill our stomachs, we pay attention to the food; If we want to heal, we go to a doctor; If we want to sleep, we look for a place where we can sleep...... Once we have a clear goal, we will inevitably focus on everything that will help us achieve it, which is what we already have. When we eat and sleep, we are all looking for a goal, but our life is so important, why not find a goal for our life? We often look for goals for the next moment, and when the next few decades are so important, why not find a goal for the future? Why should we watch opportunities slip out of our hands? ”

"Why don't we believe in dreams, ideals, and life goals when we set goals before we act every day?"

Albert was silent.

The whole class looked at Su Ye convincingly.

The Academic Affairs Office was quiet, and every teacher was slowly digesting this incomparably huge amount of information.

Then, there was an astonishing scene in the Academic Affairs Office, where each teacher replayed the dynamic footage recorded in the magic book for review.

including Aristotle and Euclid, including Provost Larence.

Suddenly, Aristotle looked up and smiled, and said, "If Su Ye sees us doing this, he will definitely refine it, it turns out that excellent magicians are used to learning important points repeatedly until they fully understand." ”

Many magicians nodded slightly.

After a while, Euclid suddenly said, "Aristotle, you underestimated Su Ye. ”

"Oh?"

Everyone looked to Euclid.

Euclid said slowly: "Speaking of stratification, we assume that people who don't know anything are the first layer. These people are confused. ”

"Then, the person who knows the 'what' and 'what' of the surface layer is the second layer. These people are diligent and hardworking. ”

"And the people who know the method layer and understand the 'how' are the third layer. These people are good thinkers. ”

"The person who understands the 'why' of the principle layer is the fourth layer. These people have or will have great abilities in the future. Do you think that Su Ye is at this level. But there are deeper layers. ”

"The fifth layer is to continue to ask the 'why' of the 'why', and continue to ask until the essence is asked."

"The sixth layer is to integrate the previous layers to form their own complete system or system, once they encounter problems, they do not just stay at a single level, but consider the problem at all levels, that is, consider the problem comprehensively, systematically and systematically. In my opinion, Su Ye is standing on the sixth layer, but he is still young and has not stood firm, but he is clearly aware that he is on the sixth layer, so he will become more and more stable. ”

"And you, Aristotle, Tianzhong Genius, you should have entered the sixth layer early, you could have been countless times better than Su Ye, but now you have not refined and abstracted your ability and thinking, Su Ye has completed the refinement and understood the system and system one step ahead of you."

"The general meaning is that you don't know that you know, and Su Ye knows that you know, and you know that you don't know. Give him enough time and he will definitely surpass you! ”

Euclid's words shocked all the teachers.

They are all sure that Su Ye is a genius, but they also vaguely feel that Su Ye is not as powerful as Aristotle's elemental king, nor is he as good as Aristotle in magic theory, philosophy and thought, after all, Aristotle has already written some philosophical and magical works and is destined to be Plato's successor.

However, Euclid went so far as to say that Su Ye surpassed Aristotle in such an important field, and even surpassed it comprehensively in the future.

A look of confusion flashed in Aristotle's eyes.

All the teachers looked at it with a faint disappointment.

But, after a moment, Aristotle was in ecstasy.

"Great, Su Ye deserves to be my teacher! Now that he's my teacher in more places, I need to learn from him as well! His way of thinking that is good at abstraction, refinement and systematization is fantastic, fantastic! ”

Aristotle couldn't help but cheer softly.

He was so excited that his strength surged rapidly, and his black hair gradually turned blonde and became brighter and brighter, and after a while he realized it, and hurriedly gathered his strength and regained his hair color.

The rest of the teachers were ashamed and at the same time had a strong emotion.

It is worthy of Aristotle, even if the legendary master encounters this kind of thing, it is very likely that he will have hostile feelings towards Su Ye, and it may take a long time to ease.

This Aristotle is good, in the blink of an eye, he completely changed his thinking, and he was not affected at all, but seemed to have gained a lot.

Euclid's eyes lit up, and he quickly wrote it down in the spellbook.

A teacher standing behind Euclid quickly read the contents of Euclid Records, and since it was not a blacklist, Euclid did not hide it.
