And the following scene may be familiar to you.
A friend looked at all kinds of delicious dishes on the takeaway platform and struggled for half an hour. He still doesn't know what to order at noon.
A newly graduated college student, watching various job opportunities pop up on the recruitment website.
After reading my resume for several days, I didn't vote, for fear of regret.
There is a particularly interesting phenomenon. I don't know if you have noticed.
Most people don't achieve much because they waste a lot of time on constant choices.
Especially in this era of information explosion, more choices and shallower thinking, we become extremely anxious.
Teacher Wu Jun said in the book Knowledge that the best choice in the world is "no choice".
From the perspective of education that I am most familiar with, I have done comprehensive education and training for a period of time before.
Here, children and parents have many choices, such as dancing, painting, musical instruments, taekwondo, hosts and so on.
After a parent brought his child to an audition class, he learned dance for a semester. Children feel too tired, don't like it, and don't want to learn.
Parents sympathize with their children and negotiate with teachers to change interest classes.
Anyway, the class fee is the same, so the teacher promised to learn musical instruments instead.
At first, it was interesting. After studying for a semester, the child felt bored and told his mother that he didn't want to learn.
Mother thought it was the most important thing to cultivate interest anyway, so she discussed it with the teacher.
The teacher said that it is normal to insist on learning one first, and it is normal to have difficulties in learning.
And the mother didn't want to force the child, so she changed.
As a result, after several years, the children studied in each interest class for a semester, knowing a little, but not proficient.
At the same time, bad habits have been formed, and training institutions have not received good reputation.
On the contrary, we look at the better training around us, and almost all of them focus on one field.
Don't give customers too many choices. On the contrary, the teaching quality and reputation are good, so students naturally don't have to worry.
So is my own street dance education. We only focus on street dance education for children aged 3.5- 12, and the teenagers and adults are directly cut off.
It's not because we can't do it, but the street dance education above 12 is too rampant.
With the recognition of street dance, the demand for 3.5- 12-year-olds is increasing, but only a handful of them do well.
So we will focus on this and gradually have our own core competitiveness.
It is said that professional things should be given to professional people. Although the unit price is a little expensive, the output is much better than the quality.
Except in the field of education, Apple's mobile phones in the field of mobile phones are the best sellers, and Honda in the field of automobiles is the same, with high customer satisfaction.
You know, customers are not afraid to buy expensive things, but they are afraid to buy worthless things.
What you have to do is to polish your products and give customers the value they need, not to choose.
A good product designer will try to guide customers, instead of doing things that cater to every customer.
In the book "Knowledge", Mr. Wu Jun told such a story about the company's choice of travel location:
There is a welfare in Tencent, that is, each department pays for organizing everyone to travel at home and abroad once a year.
The secretary is very responsible and always wants to satisfy every employee. At the end of one year, the secretary of a department took a plan to travel abroad and asked my opinion.
Out of kindness, she gave you two choices, one is to ski in Hokkaido, and the other is to enjoy the sunshine in Phuket.
I told her to keep only one destination. I saw her looking at me doubtfully, and it was actually very simple to explain the reason. We can't turn good things into bad things.
If you only give everyone one choice.
For example, skiing in Hokkaido, most employees in Shenzhen have never skied, and some people have never even seen snow, not to mention going to Hokkaido can not only
Skiing can also experience authentic Japanese cuisine and hot springs.
Everyone will be very happy to have such a trip before the end of the year. After coming back, I will be afraid of the company and the department, and I will be more motivated to work.
But if we are given two choices-going to Hokkaido or Phuket-it will be bad.
Let's talk about these people going to Hokkaido first.
Most people can't ski. In fact, it's hard to really enjoy skiing. First-time skiers get sore after standing on skis for a long time.
That place in Hokkaido is cold and humid in winter, and it gets dark at 4 pm at the end of the year.
Although everyone was excited in the first two days, they were going to complain about the bad weather.
Then I will imagine my colleagues going to Phuket lying on the comfortable beach in the sun, and I will inevitably regret it.
Conversely, so do people who go to Phuket.
When I first arrived at a tropical island, I was very excited to see the beautiful beaches and take some photos of Weibo (there was no WeChat at that time).
That's boring, because there is no cultural landscape in that place in Phuket.
Those people think that their Japanese colleagues are enjoying hot springs and delicious food, and they will regret it.
In the end, both groups were dissatisfied when they came back.
The director listened to my words and gave the employees a choice. People who have participated in that foreign trip sometimes say yes when they see me.
As can be seen from this story, the more choices, the better.
Because behind more choices, it brings about the investigation and understanding of options. At the same time, as mentioned above, people have a state of regret.
Even if I choose this one, I am very happy at first, but when I see that others are better than myself, my psychology will be unbalanced.
In the end, both sides were dissatisfied, but thankless.
A good manager needs to make a simple and effective system that can satisfy most employees.
There is no need to please every employee in everything.
As the saying goes, "people die more than people, and goods are thrown away."
How many single men and women miss the time when they are at the best age with their lovers in endless choices.
How many so-called "angry youths" missed the best opportunity to improve themselves in the endless course selection.
The best choice is not to choose.
When you can eat whatever you can and do whatever you can, you will become more relaxed and less anxious.
Everyone's time and energy are limited. There are no perfect people and things in the world, and there is no perfect choice.
Within your current ability and vision, just do what you think is less, but better and more worthwhile.
Moderate choices give us freedom, but too many choices will backfire.
I hope you can face all the choices in the world and encourage each other.
Shi stressed that it is necessary to do a good job of rapid improvement, and in view o
