Ways to improve thinking ability
0 1. Conclusion comes first
In daily life, we often encounter such a scene:
Some people talked a lot about dry goods on the stage, but the audience under the stage didn't know what to say and didn't feel any valuable gains.
Yes, this is a common situation in our work and life.
The speaker tried to make it clear and the audience tried to understand, but the effect was not satisfactory.
What are the reasons? How can we make the other person get the point of view he wants to express quickly and accurately?
Here I recommend a general rule: conclusion first!
Explain what you want to say in the way of "total-subtotal"
First of all, show your point of view, list the reasons by classification, and finally further strengthen user cognition.
02. Multiple reasons to explain the problem.
Usually, people don't believe anything just because we say something.
So we need to find multiple reasons to support our conclusion.
For example: Why are more and more people engaged in IT now?
Reason 1: High salary.
Reason 2: Good prospects for development.
Reason 3: National policy support.
Reason 4: The working environment is simple.
Whether at work or in life, we can consciously use this method to train our self-thinking ability.
It is also more convincing to use "multiple reasons" to support the conclusion you want to express.
03. Take notes on complex problems.
I can sum up and think about the reasons.
But there are still some complicated problems that can't be explained clearly in a few words.
So we need to take notes or write speeches on important occasions.
The manuscript does not need special details, but it needs to be clear about its own ideas, and there is a general process.
04. Dig into the reason &; Data proof
In order to find out the reason, you need to ask yourself repeatedly: "Why?" .
In the process of deep excavation, we must also ensure that there are no omissions and repetitions.
For example, why don't children like exams nowadays?
The reasons can be divided into three categories: children's own problems, family education problems and school education problems.
What are the possible reasons for children's own problems?
Maybe: I don't like reading, and I don't like doing my homework.
This lists various possible reasons.
Sometimes if there is no data or factual basis to prove the reason, it is easy for everyone to feel that there is no objective basis and it will not be very convincing.
Therefore, when expressing your opinions, you should collect as many relevant examples or effective data as possible to prove it.
05. Get into the habit of thinking
Buddhism advocates meditation, in fact, meditation is just a process of meditation, for more thinking and enlightenment.
We ordinary people also need to think more. When no one is around, in the dead of night, we can think independently, or plan a period of time regularly to think about our life and work.
This can make our thoughts more and more profound.
The same thing, different people think differently, will have very different results.
But we can be sure that people with strong thinking skills tend to be more efficient and more capable.
A small habit of refreshing thinking mode
first
We should learn to express our views before speaking. Let the audience listen to you purposefully and understand your words, and then in this process, you should demonstrate your views in an orderly way, one argument at a time, and never think about saying one sentence at a time. Although it sounds like you said a lot, it seems that what you said is just nonsense.
then
When listening to others, you should also listen with your head, sort out what others say by yourself, and see if you can extract the central meaning from what others say and grasp the logic. If possible, we should learn from it. If you can't, it depends on yourself or others. If people around you don't understand, ask. If you don't understand, try the logic yourself.
There is also the need to ask yourself one more why. No matter what you say, you should ask in your mind first. Why do you say that? If you are good at thinking, only purposeful language will be accepted by listeners. If you don't know why, it's nonsense. In fact, sometimes this kind of thinking doesn't have to be done in conversation, but can be done at any time, such as when you are alone.
