The mental model determines our destiny.

Reflections on the third chapter of Tearing Down the Wall of Thinking

Sharer: TBE, tell me, Chen Jiaping, the 6th Advanced Class of Education Speech.

Do you believe the constellations are real?

Maybe you are a constellation fan, and arrange your trip according to the rising constellation every week; Maybe you just look at it occasionally when you are in a bad mood, or you really want to know the character of your crush. ...

According to ancient astrological legends, there are six extroverted constellations and six introverted constellations in the twelve constellations.

In fact, I am a person who doesn't believe in constellations, because I don't know whether I am a Leo or a Virgo. Sometimes I act like a Leo, but sometimes I act like a Virgo. Eysenck made three experiments and came to a conclusion that people will gradually develop their own "constellation character" because of their belief in it. Personality, the mental model of the constellation, not only makes them see the world, but also makes them believe that it is their own personality, then lives according to that personality and finally becomes the person described by the constellation.

Simply put, people will really become what they think they should be. Mental models have changed us so powerfully.

Do you want to be luckier?

Richard wiseman, a British psychologist, described his experiment on the relationship between luck and personality in his book Weird Psychology. Experiments show that lucky people can always seize unexpected opportunities and bring good luck to themselves.

In fact, people who have installed the "lucky mode" have built a lucky world full of opportunities, and it will be easier to find potential opportunities outside; People who install the "unlucky mode" often turn a blind eye to opportunities because there is no such thing as "opportunity" in their mode.

So we should be a prepared person, because opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and we should have this thing in our hearts.

We are magicians of our own lives.

Everyone is a magician of his own life. The more you desire, the more you can get. Too many people have happened in their lives. If you think about it, it really is. The stronger your desire, it seems that it has been realized later, or it is close.

We are magicians of our own lives. We build a fantasy world for ourselves, and then let this fantasy come true slowly in reality.

4. Tear down the wall in your heart

1. The natural world, our direct experience of the outside world.

2. Conceptual model, we get indirect experience of the world from others.

3. Inference and induction, we rely on the conclusion formed by reasoning.

Kōnosuke Matsushita, the great god of Japanese business, recalled the reason for his success, and said the last favor, that is, his cultural level was low, because he didn't even graduate from primary school. Because of his low education, he consulted all the people in the world and never ignored his research.

Our present weakness may also be our future advantage. There is a reason to exist, face up to yourself, face up to everything around you, don't be happy for things, don't be sad for yourself.
