2023/11/15 Differences between small and large systems
I have plenty of time today, so I'll talk to you a few more things.
When I was the chief steward, there was a very poor man around me, who understood everything when he said something; When you talk about someone, he can talk to you about everything, and he just won't make money from this person.
Why? The reason is that there are so many small systems in his head.
What's a small system?
Knowledge, science, skills, these kinds of things are called small systems.
This guy next to me is a person who has more than five small systems, and there is nothing he doesn't know, and then do you know what kind of person he ended up becoming? Anything you tell him, he will think that what you said is wrong, that what you say is wrong, that what you say is not right, then what will be the final result for him? Decoupled from the world, but what I want to share with you at present is that this small system and large system do not mean that a person can not continue to study, but that when you learn a small system, you must not ignore the big system.
What is a big system?
The big system is a global concept, a kind of cognition that transcends the small system. It is not a specific skill or knowledge, but an understanding of the world, an insight into the depth of life.
For example, a person may have dabbled in all kinds of knowledge, but he may not be able to integrate this knowledge, and he may not be able to extract a holistic idea from this knowledge. However, a person with a large system can find commonalities in this knowledge, and can connect them to form a global perspective.
Therefore, while we are learning about small systems, we must keep an eye on large systems. Because small systems can make us more professional and allow us to make achievements in a certain field. But big systems can open our eyes to more possibilities and allow us to understand the world at a higher level.
Of course, this is not to say that we don't need small systems, on the contrary, small systems are the foundation on which we build large systems. Without the accumulation of small systems, large systems cannot be formed. Therefore, we need to learn the small system while constantly improving our own large system.
It's like building a house, we need bricks (small systems) to build our house, but we also need a holistic blueprint (big system) to guide how we build the house. Only when we combine small systems with big systems can we truly understand the world and truly become winners in life.
The big system is to learn all things, use all things, and integrate all things.
Dear book friends, if you want to achieve a career, do you need help from others? If you want to be a person who gets help from others, you need to have the eyes to recognize the people around you.
If you are learning small systems and learning various skills every day, and finally when others see you, your eyes are very cold, will others be willing to help you? When people see you, they will avoid you, right?
I used to be a very cold-faced person, and I didn't know how to deal with other people, and I didn't know how to improve this coldness. When I was still in college seven or eight years ago, I thought that with my own ability, I would not make my network so narrow, but after Pan Dong's pointing, I realized that my face was too cold, which caused me to achieve nothing at that time.
Then there will be book friends who want to ask me, so is the author's face mild now? No, my face will still be very cold now, I am a person between extroverts and introverts, not slow heat or slow heat, but it depends on what kind of person I have to deal with, if it is an acquaintance, you will find that I and him will be as extroverted as two fools, if it is a person I am not familiar with or I don't want to deal with at all, I don't even want to say a word to the other person.
There are people in our company who haven't even said a word to him for a few months, but people at the top of our company know that I talked to the employees below me about a thing, people must have a channel, I have a channel of my own nature, but I also have a channel for writing.
When I'm writing, I have to tune myself into a channel that falls into thinking mode in my work, can you understand what a channel is?
Aren't the bosses around you, those who have achieved something, quite suave? Isn't it quite humble? Do you think it's so incredible?
I'm telling you, what he's doing to get you into this kind of thinking.
Why do you have to get yourself into this kind of thinking?
If a boss walks up to you every day with a mentally retarded expression, will you guard against him?
If a boss is in front of you every day, he has a particularly good smile and a particularly warm expression. So, when he walks in front of you, will you want to work with him?
Why do rich people, or people who are a little more powerful, be so polite and humble to others?
Because he knows that his money is not his own, but the people around him. If the people around him don't help him, then what can he do alone? He's using himself to get all the opportunities in this world.
The reason why he will face you like a retarded person is because the other person wants to get a chance, that's all.
