If we often observe the friends around us, we will find that a person will have a clear and definite development direction when he is growing rapidly, which we call "life algorithm".

The so-called life algorithm is a systematic method to solve various problems in life, an iterative mechanism and a routine to improve your probability of achieving your goals.

But for the whole society, we have a universal life algorithm. As long as you find and practice these algorithms, you will walk faster.

This is what I call "doing things with talent and reusing routines can be successful". The things that a person is good at are limited, and the routines for getting things done are also traceable.

So what you have to do is very simple, as Luo Pang said: The life algorithm is the most basic routine that you keep repeating in the face of the world. You must find it, repeat it and strengthen it. Use its power to travel through time and turn all your weaknesses into armor.

I have observed many cattle people who attack from ordinary people, combined with my own experience, summed up their life algorithms and shared them with you here.

Habitual reflex:

Am I satisfied with myself now? Can I be better?

Zhang Yong, CEO of Alibaba, once said when he taught at Lakeside University: "Restlessness is an important criterion for me to select talents."

The so-called restless person is a habitual reflection: am I satisfied with my present work and life, and can I do better?

Most people are not so satisfied with their lives, but if you think about the pain of "leaving the present" and the uncertainty of the future, you are likely to shrink back.

Huang is the executive chef of Alibaba Box Ma Xiansheng and the Gary of Ali population. Worked as a chef for more than 30 years, and was the first local executive chef of Marriott Hotel in China. Known as the "Kitchen God" in Shanghai by people in the industry.

After working in Britain for several years, Huang keenly discovered the new trend of the catering industry. He found that although the high-end restaurants under his jurisdiction are still the best in the industry, they are also beginning to be impacted by new formats. Online celebrity catering, online ordering, online and offline retail stores and other ways are increasingly popular among young people.

Huang realized that great changes were brewing in this industry, and he felt that he could do more.

So, at the age of 47, he joined the poor box horse at that time, put down the frying spoon and worked with a group of young people who were more than 20 years younger than him with a computer every day.

Compared with those who are determined to change themselves because life is not satisfactory, Huang may make this decision more difficult. After all, he has reached the top level of the chef industry, and after the interview, Sigh (Hou Yi) and Lao Qi (Xia Yuan), the founders of Boxma Xiansheng, told him:

"The sooner you come, the better. We will open a restaurant soon. "

"Ok, is the restaurant open?"

"No."

"Where is the address?"

"No."

"There must be a menu?"

"Wait until you come."

This short conversation even made Huang mistakenly think that this was a leather bag company.

However, the reality did not disappoint Huang. The development speed, work style and overall atmosphere of Box Horse make Huang excited.

After joining the company in April, Huang started site selection, food development, menu planning and decoration. On July 7th, the first new store opened. "We hardly slept for 48 hours before the opening ceremony. It was a bloody day. "

In addition, in just a few months, Huang also led employees to formulate more than 65,438+0,000 kinds of SOPs (standard operating procedures) for cooked food, instant dishes and snacks. For the taste of moon cakes, he can even try them in the kitchen for more than 30 times and come back to shops and factories 10 times. ...

Later, their success was obvious to all. On the first day of opening, Box Horse sold 200 takeaways, 300 on the second day and 400 on the third day. ...

I often say that the scarcest opportunity for a person is the opportunity to choose. I advise you not to hesitate when you still have the ability and will to make a choice.

There are not many key choice nodes in life. If possible, you must jump out of your comfort zone and pursue the life you want. If you don't want to regret when you are old, you must cherish the opportunity to choose.

Compared with the constant pain caused by unsatisfactory life, I still advise you to choose the pain caused by change.

Therefore, I have six suggestions for "reflection":

1. Think regularly: Is my life what I want now? Can I do better? How can I do better? You can think about it every three to six months.

If the present life is not what you want, then you need to change your life and work mode. If these changes can't save you, then you have to find ways to make yourself take a bigger step, such as reading a new degree, taking a new certificate and changing jobs.

3. Don't be afraid to choose, because many choices are entangled before choosing. In fact, crossing that hurdle is just one thing.

4. Choice is a choice because the two sides of the choice are evenly matched for you, so it is useless to rely on "thinking". Only through full investigation and accurate consultation with people with relevant experience can we get a relatively correct answer.

In the face of important life choices, don't blindly trust friends and relatives around you, but firmly trust people who know. For example, when many people decide which university to choose after the college entrance examination, they often believe not experienced seniors, but relatives and friends who have never been to college.

6. If you don't know what you want to do and what you should do, and you are particularly confused, then you should do your own thing well or go all out to make money. After all, making money can cure all affectation.

Be kind to your time:

All economies are time economies.

I don't know if you have noticed, but the use of debris time by modern people has reached an outrageous level.

In the commercial field, major companies are trying their best to compete for users' time. Luo Zhenyu even put forward the concept of "national total time", pointing out that users' personal time will become the ultimate battlefield of future business.

But at the personal level of users, most people don't take time seriously at all and are addicted to many products like poisoning. Headlines, Tik Tok, Weibo and friends circle seamlessly fill all their time, even including going to the toilet, brushing your teeth and washing your face. ...

The power of business wins step by step in the struggle for time, which means that individuals are losing ground in the use of time.

According to a survey by the Daily Mail, people unlock their mobile phones at least 73 times a day during non-sleep hours, once every 4 minutes on average.

In the total time, browsing media software accounts for 13%, using social software accounts for 12%, browsing the web accounts for 9%, making phone calls only accounts for 13%, and the rest of the time will be spent on playing games, shopping on mobile phones and watching videos.

Many young people come back from work and brush Tik Tok and Aote faster in bed. It is standard to brush until one or two in the middle of the night.

Failure in time struggle not only means that you have less time to use independently, but also brings more problems, such as inattention, fragmentation of working hours, inefficiency, staying up late, low willpower and so on. ...

Marx has a famous saying: All economies are time economies.

The division of life destiny basically begins with the way of using time, and with many people's addiction to fragmented media, the differences between people are getting bigger and bigger.

So:

1. People who don't cherish time often mean that their time is worthless, because they have nothing to lose by wasting so much time.

2. Stay away from products that kill time, such as headlines, Tik Tok, Aauto Quicker, vulgar YY novels, online games and everything that can make you addicted.

3. Plan your personal time scientifically, go all out to work, study and exercise on weekdays, and have fun on weekends.

4. Learn to refuse, put 80% of your energy into what is really important, and refuse unimportant opportunities, jobs, parties and socializing.

5, learn to rest scientifically, because rest is the foundation of all life and work, and people who rest well are full of energy.

Self-promotion:

Not exceeding expectations is unqualified.

I once asked a boss who was born in McKinsey: What do you think is the most potential person in the workplace? What kind of person do you like best?

The boss thought for a moment and said that those who have the most potential are often people with strong self-motivation ability, and you can definitely trust them. Most importantly, they always deliver more work than expected.

He also shared a working principle of McKinsey: If the requirement for you is 100, even if you reach 100, it is not far from 100. Although no one said anything about you, you are not qualified.

Whether you can go far beyond your boss's requirements and expectations, reflect your work attitude and your work requirements for yourself. Only people who are strict with themselves can constantly break the boss's expectations and become the most potential people in the workplace.

I used to have two authors, one is a new author, let's call him W, and the other is Xiao Bing, a handsome guy who recently appeared in the field of knowledge payment.

To tell the truth, I used to have few authors, so I asked W to write everything first, but the whole process of W writing for me was particularly disappointing.

Every time W's manuscript is of average quality, there are occasional delays, plagiarism, unsatisfactory words and typos. He often doesn't answer the phone or return to WeChat, and he is particularly concerned about the manuscript fee. The standard of asking price is much higher than that of authors at the same level.

In view of his problem, I can only use him when I can't find anyone.

My other author, Shuai Xiao Bing, isn't. On the one hand, she is not particularly obsessed with the manuscript fee, and regards every writing opportunity as an opportunity to promote and show herself.

On the other hand, she will sum up the methodology seriously, and she will look up the information with special care and put forward ideas for each manuscript. When the manuscript is written, she will carefully polish it for more than three times. Many times, what she wrote made me shine, so it was often a draft.

Looking back two years later, the development of the two people is really different. W has not made much progress, and the manuscript fee and writing style are basically the same as when he first debuted two years ago.

However, handsome Xiao Bing has made his mark in the field of content. Her lecture "12 reading realization course" sold 5000 copies in just a few months, and it is expected to become a million lecturers this year. This is undoubtedly a great career milestone for an author who has just debuted.

W still feels incompetent, complaining about his bad luck, complaining that I didn't give him a really good opportunity and didn't want to do some solid work wholeheartedly.

So I'm not surprised by the remarkable difference in development between two people, you know, if you always treat your work casually. When you bend down to prick the horse and want to have a big fight, you will find that you are not strong enough in both habit and ability.

Tips:

1, always thinking about how to do better. After all, the world does not belong to the strong, nor to the rich, but to the willing.

I'm not sure if I can become an elite, but everyone who does this is awesome.

2. Never lower your requirements, because as long as you have the first time, there will be a second time and a third time ... For example, people who lose weight will have a second time and a third time if they indulge themselves once.

You probably can't do the last one, but if you can't, don't embarrass yourself, because a great sense of guilt will weaken your willpower. What you have to do is "Indulge yourself 100 times before, and now try to indulge yourself 90 times instead of 1 10 times". Even if you make progress, don't try to do it overnight.

4. Don't think that "you must be serious when the time comes". Anyone who has experienced the college entrance examination knows that being serious is a habit, and people who are not serious at ordinary times will not be serious when they arrive at the big exam.

Go all out at every opportunity to check every important node of the document (especially the title, quotation, leader's name, etc.). ) repeatedly, so as not to get away with it.

5. Laozi said: "Everything is difficult, and it must be easy. It is not enough to have dreams and goals, but also to put forward realistic goals, cut in from a relatively easy angle, have a plan that can be implemented and implemented in detail, and then go back to find problems afterwards.

6, there is no self that can't be managed well, only discipline that can't be implemented.

If you want to be an excellent person, you must first have an excellent body, don't be careless, buy several sets of good clothes that suit you and wash them yourself. If you want to lose weight, you must lose weight, and if you want to improve your temperament, you must exercise. It sounds simple, but many people can't do it.

7, don't be obscene, don't always call names, don't always watch some strange movies, don't always go to some strange places (even if you go to an Internet cafe, you have to go to a high-end Internet cafe).

Empty cup mentality:

Always be open to new things.

A reader once asked me a question: Why is there so much information on the Internet now, but people's knowledge and cognition are still so different?

I thought for a moment and answered him: there is a gap in learning ability between people, which leads to the intuitive difference in learning level. More importantly, many people's mentality is too solidified to accept any new information at all.

However, if you always refuse to input new knowledge and ideas, then your knowledge level, way of thinking and values can only be determined by friends and relatives around you and some mindless online articles. On the internet, people who are particularly fond of denying others and are easily emotional are mostly such people.

This is the beginner's mentality of Zen, which is what many people call empty cup mentality. Don't have any prejudice against new knowledge and ideas, and don't exclude new knowledge and ideas because of emotions and experiences.

I think the important indicator to judge the potential strength is the "empty cup mentality", that is, to see that this person keeps an open mind to new things, rather than always rejecting new knowledge because of his own experience and old cognition.

A friend of mine wanted to learn to write and teach the official account of WeChat, so he took the initiative to recommend a new media class of a public company. However, the title of the course tweet is the opposite, which reads "20 19, I advise you not to be WeChat official account again! 》。

My friend is a little angry. Why did you push this article to me? I can't learn this title!

I concluded that he just read the title and didn't read the content to refute me. This is a typical closed learning mentality.

I said that if I want to be a self-media, I have to listen and watch more. You can't have such a closed mind. You can't refuse to study just because the topic doesn't suit you.

Many people don't give up learning after learning, but most people give up learning after learning.

This is why knowledge and information are popular, but many people still seem to know nothing.

These people are often in the stage of "I don't know" as Fu Sheng said. What is even more frightening is that 95% of them are at this stage, so they have lost the opportunity to improve their thinking, cognition and knowledge.

However, as we all know, science and technology in this world are advancing by leaps and bounds, and great changes are taking place in all walks of life every day. Knowledge and ideas collide all the time, and the requirements for people are correspondingly higher and higher. If you always stay at the bottom stage, it will be difficult to adapt to the new requirements put forward by the world.

And people who keep an empty cup mentality will not be too bad in the end, because their knowledge system and cognitive system are constantly upgrading. When they face the "right", they will consciously compare with themselves, see the sage Si Qi, and introspect after seeing the sage. This growth force is enormous.

Tips:

1, before criticizing others, think about whether you are too low to see the greatness of others.

2. If you don't investigate and think, don't point out other people's mistakes casually, because it's probably just that you think others are wrong.

3. People who say that others are bad on the Internet all day are often losers, because there is nothing to do and it is not painful to waste time.

4. Before encountering new knowledge and ideas, don't rush to deny them, first understand, then think, and finally draw a conclusion.

When you reject new knowledge and ideas, if you make a decision within 3s, then the decision must be subconscious and often biased. I suggest you reconsider.

6. You are probably one of the 95%. Study hard and study hard.

7. Establish your own regular information source, and you can regularly check industry papers, industry websites and technology websites, select official WeChat accounts and industry group information, and keep in touch with cutting-edge people.

The above are my thoughts and thoughts on how to grow up efficiently, hoping to help everyone and make progress together.
