Examples and methods of jumping out of mindset

Thinking set is a special mental preparation state or tendency caused by the previous activities of cognitive subjects. The following is an example of jumping out of the mindset, which I will introduce to you. I hope it helps you.

Example of jumping out of mindset 1

Put six bees and as many flies as possible into a glass bottle, then lay the bottle flat with the bottom facing the window. And the result? You will see bees constantly looking for the exit at the bottom of the bottle until they are exhausted or starve to death; The fly will escape from the bottleneck at the other end in less than two minutes.

Because bees like light, they think, cells? Our exit must be in the brightest place, and they keep repeating this logical action. However, it is because of their wisdom and experience that bees became extinct.

Those? Stupid? Some flies fly around without paying attention to the logic of things, completely ignoring the attraction of light, and the result is wrong. Luck, these simple-minded people? Fool? Are you online? Wise man? Instead, the place that disappeared was successfully saved and reborn.

Example 2 of jumping out of mindset

In the mid-20th century, both the United States and the Soviet Union had the material and technical conditions to send rockets into the sky. In contrast, the United States is stronger than the Soviet Union in this respect. But both sides have a problem of sticking their necks: the driving force of the rocket is not enough to get rid of the gravity of the earth and put the satellite into orbit. How to solve this problem? At that time, everyone thought that the only way was to increase the number of rockets in series and further enhance the driving force. Experts from the United States and the Soviet Union tried their best to increase the number of rockets one by one. Although rockets have increased a lot, they still can't solve the problem.

Later, a young scientist in the Soviet Union gave up the idea of increasing the number of rockets in series. He broke through this mindset and came up with a new idea: only the two rockets on the top are connected in series, and the rockets on the bottom are connected in parallel with 20 engines. After careful calculation, demonstration and practical test, this method has finally succeeded. Because in this way, the speed of the initial power of the rocket is greatly enhanced at once, and it is enough to get rid of gravity. As a result, a technical problem that left hundreds of experts helpless for a long time was quickly solved because of such a simple new idea, thus making the Soviet Union's space technology quickly ahead of the United States. 1957, before the Soviet Union beat the United States, it sent satellites into the blue sky.

Example 3 of jumping out of the mindset

A newly-opened bank in new york wanted to open its popularity quickly, so it chose to advertise on the radio. The general practice is to publicize it, hold a big promotion, or invite a celebrity to promote it, but they have not adopted the methods used by other banks to promote their opening. They think that if they want to gain popularity quickly, they have to stand out from the crowd, and obvious differentiation will win attention.

So they bought out the prime time of 10 seconds on Radio new york to provide people with silence time. Is this propaganda? Listeners and friends, from now on, the silence time provided by the international bank of this city will be broadcast. ?

Then all the radio stations in new york were silent during this period, and the audience was awakened by the inexplicable 10 second, and began to discuss in succession, and the major media also rushed to report and became a hot topic. This silent time evokes everyone to speak with their own silence.

This bank completely broke the inertia thinking and told the world who said that radio advertisements had to waste their breath there. In this era, innovators are always at the forefront, and it is easier for them to enter the public's field of vision and gain more opportunities. Sun Tzu's art of war emphasizes correct combination and strange victory. Strange tricks are definitely not conventional methods, but innovative solutions, which go beyond the imagination and prediction of opponents, break the inertia thinking, and then have unexpected effects.

Example 4 of jumping out of the mindset

In a chemistry laboratory, an experimenter is filling a large glass jar with water. The water will soon be filled up. So, the experimenter turned off the faucet, but never expected that the faucet was broken and could not be turned off.

In another half minute, the water will overflow the sink and flow to the workbench. If the water wets the instrument on the workbench, it will burst immediately. Drugs that are undergoing chemical reactions will suddenly burn when exposed to air, and the whole laboratory will become a sea of fire in a few seconds. The experimenters were frightened by this terrible scene, and they knew that no one could escape from the laboratory. The experimenter shouted in despair and tried to turn off the tap. At this time, there was silence in the laboratory, and death was approaching them step by step. At this moment, just listen? Boom? With a loud noise, everyone saw a female experimenter working by the side, throwing a medicinal porcelain pestle into the glass sink. A big hole was broken in the bottom of the sink, and the water poured down, turning the laboratory into a safe place.

Example 5 of jumping out of the mindset

1973 before the fourth middle east war broke out, the Egyptian army carried out large-scale military mobilization and exercises again and again. Israel depends on America? Big bird? Satellites know everything about the Egyptian army.

On October 6th, 65438/Kloc-0, when the Egyptian army made its 23rd large-scale military mobilization and assembled in the direction of Suez Canal, Israeli military leaders thought that the Egyptian army mobilization was just another military exercise because of the mindset formed in the previous 22 Egyptian military exercises, and they were not prepared for the battle at all, and even sent officers and men to Jewish places on holiday? Yom kippur? Festival. As a result, the Egyptian army suddenly launched an attack on Israel, which cost more than 200 million dollars? Whale line? , and achieved brilliant results that shocked the world.

How to jump out of the mindset

In the long-term thinking practice, everyone has formed their own habitual and formatted thinking mode. When facing external things or practical problems, we can put them into a specific thinking frame without thinking, and think and deal with them along a specific thinking path. This is the mentality.

1, in line with

An important manifestation of mindset is "conformity". "Conformity" means obeying everyone, obeying everyone and following the crowd. Under the guidance of "conformity", I will do what others do; What others think, I also think; In the words of Confucius, it is the character of "homesickness".

Man is a gregarious animal. In order to maintain the stability of the group, it is necessary to require the individuals in the group to maintain a certain degree of consistency. This "consistency" is first manifested in actual behavior, then in feelings and attitudes, and finally in thoughts and values. But the reality is that individuals cannot be completely consistent, nor can they be consistent for a long time; What should I do if the groups are inconsistent? On the premise of keeping the group unbroken, there are two choices: one is that the whole group obeys some authority and is consistent with it; Second, the minority in the group is subordinate to the majority and consistent with the majority.

Originally, the principle of "the individual obeys the group and the minority obeys the majority" is only a behavior principle, in order to maintain the stability of the group. However, this criterion soon produced a "generalization", which transcended the field of personal action and became a universal principle of social practice and personal thinking. As a result, "conformity" in the field of thinking gradually formed.

No matter what kind of society or era you live in, it is always a very small number of people who put forward new ideas and discover new things at the earliest. At that time, most people disapproved or even strongly opposed these new ideas and discoveries. Because most people in every society live in a relatively fixed mode, it is difficult for them to get rid of their habitual thinking frame, and there is always a natural resistance to new things and new ideas.

2. Stereotype of authority

Where does the authoritative set in thinking come from? It comes from the acquired social environment and is the restriction of external authority on thinking. According to our research, the stereotype of authority is mainly formed through two ways: one is the "educational authority" that children accept in the adult process. The second is "professional authority" caused by social division of labor and differences in knowledge and skills.

"Man is the product of education". The authoritative set from education makes people gradually get used to treating the right and wrong of authority as right and wrong, and blindly following the authoritative speech without thinking. The result is just like our traditional "obedient education": listening to parents at home, listening to teachers at school and listening to leaders at work-but lacking the consciousness of "thinking for yourself, breaking through authority and being brave in innovation".

The second way to form the authority pattern is the authority formed by profound professional knowledge, that is, "professional authority". Generally speaking, due to the limitation of time, energy and objective conditions, an individual can only have profound knowledge in one or several professional fields in his life, but he knows little or nothing about most other fields; This is the truth that "there is a priority in learning the Tao and a specialization in the technical field".

After the authority of a certain field is established, it will not only be strengthened, but also the phenomenon of "authority generalization". The so-called "authority generalization" refers to the improper extension of the authority of individual professional fields to other fields of social life, which intensifies the stereotype of authority in people's thinking process.

Check? Authority? The method is as follows: Is he the authority of this major? Is he an authority in this area? Is it the latest authority today? Is it the authority with the help of external forces? Is his speech related to the self-interest of the authorities?

3, experience set.

From the perspective of thinking, experience is very narrow, which restricts the breadth of thinking. This narrowness is mainly manifested in three aspects.

First of all, experience is narrow in time and space. Any experience is always produced in a certain time and space range, and some often only adapt to a certain time and space range; Once beyond this range, whether an experience can be effective will put a question mark.

Second, experience has the narrowness of the subject. Every thinking subject, no matter how much he has experienced, the number is always limited, and there are always endless things that he has never experienced. In this way, when he is faced with things or problems that he has never encountered before, he will often be at a loss. If he infers from the existing experience alone, the result is probably wrong.

In the last aspect, personal experience only grasps the common things in content and ignores the rare and accidental things. However, in every specific realistic environment, there will always be a lot of accidental things that are rarely seen at ordinary times. If we still use past experience to deal with it, there will inevitably be deviations and mistakes.

Jump out of the trap of thinking

People are neither vegetarians nor vegetarians, so there will always be psychological activities, and the form of expression is thinking. In the process of thinking, the most important thing is to be good at questioning common things, learn to take existing new theories, new ideas and new methods as new positions for thinking, and realize innovative thinking. If we think according to habits, experiences, traditional patterns and subjective paths, we will inevitably fall into our own trap, which is very sad.

There is such a fable: the donkey crossed the river with salt on his back and slipped in the river. The salt was melted by water, and the donkey stood up, feeling relaxed and laughing secretly. The donkey's experience is a fortune. Later, it deliberately fell into the river with cotton on its back, but the cotton absorbed water, so the donkey couldn't stand up anymore and died. The reason is very simple, that is, the donkey forgets that things have changed, regards experience as the omnipotent key and panacea, falls into a fixed mindset, and adopts the same method, which will inevitably lead to a sad ending.

In fact, in our work, we will also make mistakes, and in our cognition of things, we will often go to the opposite of the right, leading to fallacies. For example, people often say that experience is wealth, but sometimes experience may be the cause of failure. The oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and those born in Huaibei are oranges? ; ? The source is clean and self-cleaning? Generally speaking, it is right, but both the Yellow River and the Yangtze River have proved that it is not true. It is common sense that animals should be close to each other to keep warm in winter, but this is not the case? Almighty? The porcupines are very close, and their sharp thorns will stab each other. Wait, everyone is verifying that mindset is not desirable in many cases.

On the other hand, if people can break the stereotype, show the multipolarity, extensiveness, initiative and enthusiasm of thinking, and carry out reverse thinking, lateral thinking, divergent thinking and innovative thinking in the process of understanding things and dealing with problems, what will be the result?

There is also a foreign story: the king took his ministers for a walk by the pool and suddenly asked: How many barrels of water are there in this pool? Ministers looked at each other, but no one could answer. A child smiled. This question is too simple, just look at what bucket you use. If a bucket is as big as a pool, it is a bucket of water; If the bucket is half as big as the pool, there are only two buckets of water in the pool; If the bucket is one-third the size of the pool, there are only three buckets of water in the pool. What if? ,? Okay, that's right, okay? The king rewarded the child.

Does this story have anything to do with the story of ancient China? Cao Chong is an elephant? Have the same effect. The reason why ministers can't solve the king's problem is that they are completely caught in the trap of thinking, and the contradiction is solved when children think from the perspective of a bucket.

That's what happened. There are many problems in the world. Let's change our perspective and thinking. How about one? Do the opposite? The conclusion is quite different from the result. It is a bad thing for ordinary people that wolves on the grassland want to eat sheep. Ecologists, on the other hand, believe that with wolves on the grassland, sheep will be stronger, because it can be achieved? Survival of the fittest and reproduction according to their own interests? Ecological balance and virtuous circle; An American farmer is an expert in pumpkin planting. He always gives good seeds to his neighbors, and others don't understand. He explained that allowing neighbors to improve their own varieties can prevent bees from spreading the pollen of inferior varieties to their own pumpkin flowers, leading to the variation or degradation of their own excellent varieties. If not, we must make great efforts to prevent inferior pollen, but it is not worth the candle. I'm helping others and I'm also helping myself.

It can be seen that once people jump out of the misunderstanding of thinking, they will have a brand-new world, a bright future and great benefits, and they will feel how important and beneficial correct thinking is. If you treat it with a negative attitude, you can imagine the consequences if you learn to walk in Handan and follow the rules.

In today's society, all kinds of things are constantly presented in new forms, which makes people face a complex and unpredictable world all the time. Ruthless reality requires us to get rid of habitual thinking, traditional thinking, empirical thinking and fixed thinking, and effectively break the shackles that bind creative thinking. Only by jumping out of the trap of thinking can the spirit gain greater freedom and create more miracles in the colorful and dazzling world; Let the thought of a generation of generate spark brilliantly and bear fruitful fruits.

Jump out of the limitations of thinking frame

Perhaps GMC's aura makes people feel good. From the beginning of understanding the first GMC project, I began to regard myself as the savior of the enterprise and the future leader. When thinking about a project, we should focus on how to find more problems, think about the essence, then find solutions and call on everyone to solve the problems together. Especially in the reform project, based on the emphasis on such a kind of ability and working method, find problems-solve problems? Become the mentality of every GMC who enters the project or is about to enter the project.

But this consideration should be based on three premises. First, there is something wrong with this enterprise; Second, the problem can be solved through GMC; Third, solving this problem will not bring new problems. It is precisely because of the uncertainty of these three assumptions in real projects that with the understanding of different and more projects, I think this linear thinking mode can not be well summarized and summarized, but misleading.

First of all, do enterprises really have problems? This is a question worth thinking about. Strictly speaking, there is no perfect enterprise. In the eyes of excellent leaders, there is always something that can be improved and perfected. Every project enterprise with GMC should have problems, otherwise there will be no room for GMC to play. Ask when communicating? What's wrong with your business? This seems to be a habit of thinking. It is understandable to pursue Excellence, but if you don't really integrate into the project to understand the factory, you always use this unreasonable critical eye from an outsider's point of view, which is not only unconvincing, but also affects GMC's full study at the beginning of the project. A reformer cannot always sit in a corner and read some reports mysteriously. Finally, he will lead everyone to do things by themselves. When thinking about problems, we should start from the environment in which the enterprise is located, and we can't ask every sweatshop to have a canteen like Budweiser. This is a realistic choice, and it is not such a problem in the logistics management of such an enterprise. On the other hand, if the problem is so easy to find, it must not be the root of the problem.

Second, whether the problem can be solved by GMC. This is even more frustrating than the first assumption. It is not that GMC has no ability and determination, nor that the problem cannot be solved. But when thinking about problems, we should be able to think about the difficulty and solution of solving problems. It is easy to criticize and break an inherent pattern, but it is more difficult, more important and more practical to think about a new pattern and establish it. If a problem is painstakingly discussed, but the solution to the problem is not actually demonstrated in depth, or such problems cannot be solved under certain objective conditions, then the proposal is of little value. At this time, maybe I should think from a more flexible angle and think about what I can do from the perspective of solving.

Third, solving this problem will not bring new problems. Under the linear thinking mode, this point is easily overlooked and often the most prone to problems. Management is not about changing machines in the workshop. If you find a problem, you can repair it, because the machine is a whole made up of parts. But there are countless subtle connections between people, not piecemeal. What's more, the background of the problem itself is part of a larger background. How does solving this problem affect other aspects? This is a hypothesis that needs careful study and confirmation. Often the suggestions we put forward from the perspective of solving problems will cause such and such problems in the eyes of others, which can also understand why there are so many disputes and misunderstandings. I have encountered this problem more than once, but I think it is an excellent suggestion, but I have different results after changing the minds of ministers. Although I don't agree with their ideas, I think as a leader, I can't deeply understand the wishes of the grassroots, which is one of the reasons, but from another angle, it is also because as a leader, I can see more influencing factors.

Don't always say? Find the problem-solve the problem? Well, it's too unrealistic. Let's be realistic and think about what we can do. Besides, my mind is full of problems and I don't want to solve other people's problems.

Out of this limitation, I have more new ideas in my work. If you can't extricate yourself from the cycle of problems, your own ideas and perspectives are limited. In fact, there is more than one way to solve the problem. Curves are sometimes closer than straight lines, and two-way efforts are faster than walking with your head closed. ? Can solve the problem? Of course, ability is the performance of a person doing things, but it is not enough to solve problems. In other words? Solve the problem? It is not the fundamental starting point of doing things, but a process, a way, and it is too low to treat this as a Bible. Or do you want to play? Create problems? Let others solve the role.
