What is the way to break through the mindset?

What is the so-called mentality? Does the past thinking affect the present thinking? So how to break through the mindset? Below I will bring you how to break through the mindset, and welcome your reference!

Ways to break the mindset

1, spread the wings of imagination

Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination summarizes everything in the world, promotes progress and is the source of knowledge evolution. Most people only use about 15% of the imagination area in their lifetime, and the development of this space should start with imagination.

2. Cultivate divergent thinking

If there is more than one answer to a question, we can find a more suitable creative answer through the outward divergence of thinking. When we think about how many uses bricks have, making full use of divergent thinking can give us so many answers: building houses, paving roads, stopping cars parked on slopes, smashing things, pressing paper, padding things, self-defense weapons?

3. Develop intuitive thinking

Intuitive thinking refers to an epiphany without thinking and analysis, which is one of the manifestations of active creative thinking. In the process of learning, intuitive thinking may be manifested in many aspects, such as bold guesses, witty answers, or novel ideas and schemes. In the process of finding and solving problems, we should keep these uninvited guests in time and strive to develop our intuitive thinking.

4. Cultivate a strong thirst for knowledge

When people have the desire to explore a problem, positive creative thinking germinates. Spiritual needs are the foundation of curiosity. We should consciously set questions or explore the unsolved mysteries left by predecessors to stimulate our desire for creative learning. Transfer a strong desire for knowledge to science, and keep exploring, so that it will always maintain its vigorous vitality.

The only thing that can bind people is themselves. People's thinking space is infinite, just like a paper clip, there are at least hundreds of millions of possible changes. Maybe we are trapped in a seemingly desperate situation, or maybe we are trapped in a dilemma. At this time, we must understand that this situation is only caused by our stubborn mindset. As long as we dare to reconsider, we will certainly find more than one way out of the predicament.

An example of breaking through the mindset

Toshiba Electric Company of Japan once had a large backlog of electric fans around 1952 and could not sell them. More than 70,000 employees have tried their best to open up sales, but little progress has been made. One day, a shop assistant suggested changing the color of the electric fan to the then chairman, Ishisaka. At that time, all the electric fans in the world were black, and the electric fans produced by Toshiba were no exception. The clerk suggested changing black to light color. This proposal caught the attention of Chairman Ishisaka. After research, the company adopted this suggestion. The following summer, Toshiba introduced a batch of light blue electric fans, which were well received by customers. There was also a panic buying in the market, which sold hundreds of thousands in a few months. Since then, in Japan, and even the whole world, electric fans are no longer a unified black face.

This example is very enlightening. Just changed the color and sold a lot of unsalable electric fans in a few months. The idea of changing colors is of great benefit. And put forward it, neither need to have advanced scientific and technological knowledge, also don't need to have rich business experience, why other tens of thousands of employees of Toshiba, no one thought, no one put forward? Why have thousands of power companies in Japan and other countries never thought about it or proposed it before? This is obviously because the electric fan was black from the beginning. Although no one stipulated that electric fans must be black, generation after generation imitated and attacked each other, which gradually formed a convention and a tradition. It seems that electric fans can only be black. If they are not black, they are not electric fans. Such conventions, conventions and traditions are reflected in people's minds, forming a psychological set and thinking set. The longer time goes by, the stronger this stereotype binds people's innovative thinking, the harder it is to get rid of it, and the more efforts are needed. Judging from the way of thinking, the valuable thing about the suggestion made by this small employee of Toshiba Company is that he has broken through? Electric fans can only be painted black? The bondage of this mode of thinking.

According to media reports, Wang Zeng, director of China National Import Commodity Inspection Bureau, worked for? Sleeve problem? It's been bothering me for years What's the problem? Director Wang found that sweaters, cotton sweaters and shirts sold in China market generally have long sleeves, so people should pull up the big sleeves when wearing them. This is uncomfortable, unsightly and a waste of materials. Director Wang once said with emotion: I called for sleeves several years ago. Our satellite can go to heaven, why can't the sleeve problem be solved? Why can this crappy product live so long? It is not difficult to see that this is inseparable from the long-term bondage of our relevant personnel. Director Wang also compared this with Jian brand shirts made in America. According to people's different body characteristics, American Jian brand shirts sold in Europe will be different from those sold in Asia, and even the specifications and models sold in China and Japan are different (Japanese people generally lean forward a little).

Finally, let's look at a prominent military case that was cheated because of the influence of 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.

To carry out innovative thinking, we must be alert and get rid of the shackles of thinking patterns. Whether at the beginning of innovative thinking or in some other link of innovative thinking, when our thinking is in trouble, we often need to check whether we are bound by a certain mindset.
