Do you remember how you learned to ride a bike? You can't grasp the balance at first, so you can only ask your father to help you. You try to stare at your ankle, and your eyes are staring nervously ahead. The car keeps shaking, so you have to twist to keep your balance. Fortunately, your father is behind you and the car won't turn over.
When you first started practicing cycling, you always missed the point. As soon as dad let go, you fell. You are angry and think, why are you so stupid? Everyone else can ride a bike, but you can't learn.
After practicing several times, one day, your father took you to learn to ride a bike. This time, you feel much better. Finally, you have the feeling of controlling your balance and your bike. It's a long journey. When you stop the car and turn around, you find that your father has let go. Congratulations, you have officially learned to ride a bike. In this process, you suddenly have some kind of ability, which is a transition.
The word transition may sound strange at first glance, but in fact, we are exposed to transition every day. Transformation is a leap-forward growth and a sudden change inspired by energy.
Such as boiling water. Between zero and 99 degrees Celsius, the temperature of water will only rise, and it will suddenly turn into gas at 100 degrees Celsius. This sudden change is called phase change in physics and "phase change" in English, that is, morphological change.
Our life has also advanced by leaps and bounds. Inorganic substances synthesize organic substances, and organic substances mutate into cells. Single-celled animals become multicellular animals, and multicellular animals become complex creatures, reptiles, mammals and humans. Today's society is formed through the further integration of culture, economy and society. One end of this chain is molecules, and the other end is human society. Most chains are gradually evolving, but several important links are jumping. In A Brief History of Mankind, Herari mentioned how Homo sapiens suddenly learned to tell stories and describe virtual things in language. So far, scientists have not come to a conclusion. The consensus view is that gene mutation is finally formed through natural selection. The emergence of human beings is also an accidental genetic mutation.
Human's understanding of the world is also a leap. From 65438 to 0905, 26-year-old Einstein was only an unknown employee of the Swiss Patent Office. During the six months from March to September this year, he published six papers in succession. The most important thing is to put forward quantum mechanics and relativity, on which the whole building of physics in the 20th century was built. The wave-particle duality of light is not so prominent.
There was also a great physicist in history who happened to be named Niu. He was Newton. 1666, Newton, who went to the countryside to escape the plague, invented calculus (this statement is somewhat controversial) and the law of gravity in the pasture, which directly laid the foundation of modern physics.
If the gradual progress brought by individuals through deliberate practice is called self-iteration, then the rapid upgrading by leaps and bounds using the energy of science and technology and social systems is self-leap.
? There are three kinds of self-transformation:
? ? 1, cognitive jump: in continuous learning, a concept suddenly hits you, and you bring a brand-new vision. Everything that bothered you in the past suddenly became clear and epiphany, which is called jumping.
For example, "deliberate practice", after understanding this concept, I suddenly understood the gap between the master and the low hand. In the past, I used to repeat myself in my comfort zone and grow up slowly. If you understand "deliberate practice", you will jump out of the comfort zone and enter the study area to do deliberate repetition and promotion exercises.
Of course, there are concepts such as "iteration", "anti-fragility", "cognitive model" and "first principle", which have brought me a cognitive leap.
2, the ability to jump: you practice according to the newly realized method, meet people and get motivation, but it hasn't changed for a long time. When you are ready to give up, you suddenly find that your ability and level have reached a new level. This is the second stage, the ability to jump.
For example, riding a bike mentioned at the beginning, suddenly you get on it and you will never forget it. If you take it, you will ride it.
? For example, I read 65,438+000 books last year, and I didn't feel much when I read them. In this year, I suddenly found that my reading speed, efficiency and writing ability have improved quite correctly. I used to be stupid, but now I suddenly become very talkative, and I am still a set. The books you read will blend into your body and soul, and at a certain level, you will jump and suddenly become a master.
3. Energy level transition: The transition from ability to energy level is a process from the inside out. Your internal value has improved, but external accumulation takes time, such as experience, such as insight into things. After a long period of accumulation and climbing, you made the right choice, changed the platform, your worth, ability and level will suddenly go up a step, and the strength of seeing problems and doing things will be different. This is an energy level transition.
For example, Liu Run, who I like better, was very popular that year because of an article entitled "MBA course given to me by taxi driver". He worked in Microsoft for many years. After leaving Microsoft, he set up Runmi Consulting, contacted a large number of enterprises, and then worked as a knowledge product of business school for five minutes. After several years' accumulation, Liu Run is on fire, with explosive promotion and energy level transition.
? For example, the author of this book is classical, has been baptized by New Oriental, accumulated experience, learned various methods, and grew up with all kinds of big cows. After coming out of New Oriental, I got involved in training and career planning and made career planning for more than 3,000 people. When I came to get the platform, I opened the column of "Super Individual" and felt that his small universe was about to explode now. The book "Transition" is proof.
I have been in the airline 10 for many years, and I have seen and established a good system. I studied management and did management. Entering the MBA of Chongqing University, I systematically studied the knowledge of business administration, and read a lot in the past two years. This year, I entered the media and content marketing industry, began to contact enterprises, made marketing planning for enterprises, and gradually achieved the integration of knowledge and practice. At the same time, I am still holding a book club and doing community work. Looking forward to my accumulation, I can detonate an energy level transition in the future.
There is cognitive transition first, then ability transition, and finally energy level transition, which is gradual.
Transformation must absorb "energy", that is, borrow trends and laws. Einstein also made a sudden innovation on the basis of previous cognition. I like Liu Run's sentence that "the thoughts of predecessors are our steps".
The most important thing in the transformation is to change the mental model, enhance the potential internally and discover the possibilities externally.
This is an era when attention is scarce. We were overwhelmed by the explosion of information. With smart phones, our time is cut into pieces. Everyone should unlock the screen 100 times every day. From the post-90 s to the post-80 s, post-70 s, post-60 s and post-50 s, they gradually became bow heads. You will consciously or unconsciously turn on your mobile phone, look at the WeChat group, flip through your circle of friends, and then lock the screen. After a while, turn on the screen and look at it, so go back and forth. Are you like this?
In this era of scarce attention, if I don't master water and can't let technology be used by me, but become a slave to technology and a slave to mobile phones, I will soon be overwhelmed. There are three kinds:
? 1, people who can't control their attention
Time fragmentation, attention fragmentation, you can't control your attention, spend your time on some worthless information and boring games, then your life is basically wasted. Your brain will turn into tofu brain.
? 2. People who can't filter information and can't find the key points:
Seeing a passage on the Internet, it is impossible to judge whether it is true or not; See so many WeChat official account every day; I bought several columns, and every teacher spoke very reasonably; I bought a lot of books and thought I should read every book. What if I can't finish learning at all? What should you do if everyone around you is working hard?
When you see a good article, you immediately collect it, and then, it's gone. Faced with a huge amount of information every day, I don't know what to do and which to pay attention to. If you don't explode in anxiety, you will be mediocre in anxiety.
? 3. People who don't understand the system and can't cooperate with strangers.
How many friends in your WeChat are just a name and have never met? You can cooperate with acquaintances, but with strangers, like two hedgehogs, getting too close will hurt each other. Have you ever joined some clubs and completed some tasks with some strangers? Do you have such social skills? In an uncertain era, a huge amount of information keeps pouring in every day. It doesn't matter what the facts are, perhaps the key is that a group of people can cooperate to solve problems. Are you still thinking alone? A hardworking person is there, instead of seeking cooperation and information from others?
German writer hermann hesse wrote in his masterpiece Under the Wheel: "Facing the roaring wheel of the times, we must speed up our running. Sometimes not enough, sometimes impetuous and anxious, but we must adapt. It can easily leave every backward individual far behind and crush it into dust without paying the price. "
To sum up, transformation is a leap-forward growth and a sudden change inspired by energy. Our transition can be divided into three stages: cognitive transition, ability transition and energy level transition. In this era of lack of attention, we don't learn to recognize the lack and laws of the times, and often fall into the following drowning States: 3. We can't control our attention, filter information and cooperate with strangers. The great ship of the times is rolling forward, and if it can't keep up with the rhythm, it will be crushed into dust.
