Think fast or slow, choose a position that suits you

I have read countless people and differentiated them by the way their brains think. I found that people can be divided into two types, one is those who think fast; the other is people who think slowly. Does this sentence make sense? It's like saying that if a person is not a man, it must be a woman.

So what is a fast-thinking person and what is a slow-thinking person? Anyone who has gone to school should have experience. What is a scholar? What is scumbag? A scholar is a person who thinks very fast, and a scumbag is a person who thinks very slowly.

What kind of person am I? I am a very slow thinking scholar. Everyone may have doubts, thinking is very slow, how can it be possible to become a scholar? Because there is an old saying that the stupid bird flies first and enters the forest first.

Thinking slowly doesn’t mean learning can’t stop, it just needs to spend more time than people who think fast. For me, who insists on reading books (story meetings) for an hour every day, giving time is not a problem at all, that’s why, so many The reason why people who are smarter than me can't catch up with me is because I know that diligence can make up for my weakness.

01 Are you a person who thinks fast or slow

How to identify whether a person is thinking fast or slow, do we cut open his brain with a scalpel? No, it's bloody and unfriendly.

In fact, judging whether a person's way of thinking is fast or slow can be seen from a person's behavior. The fast-thinking person walks with wind, while the slow-thinking person works slowly and leisurely, just like old age.

Our company has come in a batch of fresh graduates. There are less than ten men and women. Everyone has different majors, different personalities, and different working styles, but they are assigned to the same position: operation.

Different personalities make different things in the operation post. There is a girl who has a big brain and is decisive in her work. She can produce eye-catching materials every day. Whenever she is brainstorming in a meeting, she can always Hear this girl's voice.

Another boy, polite and not good at words, was assigned to the user operation section, and followed the customer service boss to serve as customer service. Every Friday when the user demand meeting is held, he hides in a corner and doesn't speak much.

However, according to the feedback from the customer service boss, this boy is more practical in customer service, and he can solve it calmly when he encounters very impatient users. Except that he does not work very neatly, there are no other shortcomings.

From these two contrasting examples, we can see that the girl is a fast-thinking person, and the boy is a slow-thinking person.

The world is composed of male and female characters, forming a colorful and beautiful world. Those who think fast and those who are slow are intertwined, and together they weave a beautiful picture. It is a lot of fun to deal with different people.

02 The advantages and disadvantages of people who think fast

There are pros and cons to everything. 100-degree boiling water is useful when cooking meat, but spilling it on your body is not a good thing, and the same is true of thinking fast.

One of the characteristics of fast-thinking people is that they have a stronger ability to accept new things than others. But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the understanding is not deep enough, just like sand, the surface is very wide, but the depth is not enough.

People with such a personality will have great advantages in sales. They can talk to people, remember what they hear, respond quickly, and take words from others as soon as they open their mouths. They can mix well in the sales circle. But because the understanding of things is not deep enough, they are not qualified for higher positions.

You must know that the CEO of a company is absolutely wise, that is, his insight into things is superior to others, and he can only sit in that position when he sees the essence of things that others cannot see.

For example, if a new employee does not work well at work, the judgment of ordinary people is that this person is too lazy to work and cannot be used. The judgment of the person who sees the essence of the matter is that this person has no sense of purpose and pays too much attention to personal feelings, which will affect the team atmosphere for a long time and needs to be dismissed immediately.

Sometimes the results are the same, but the points that everyone can see are different. If the results are different, the decision-making made by people who think deeply is definitely better than people who think shallowly.

I used to know a person who thinks fast. He can play games and work on projects faster than others, and he is especially good at things. Everyone likes him very much, and I am no exception. This is the advantage of people who think fast; The disadvantage is that after so many years, it is not advisable to still hang around in grassroots positions.

03 The advantages and disadvantages of people who think slowly

The shortcomings are obvious. First of all, it gives the impression that you can't learn anything. You can't learn a simple thing 800 times. I still remember the parents who taught their children to do problems in the short video. The lethal power of a slow-thinking person.

The advantage is that once you master it, you will understand it deeper than ordinary people. The underlying logic of things will never have a bottom. You think you have seen through life, and there will always be someone who sees it deeper than you. So what is the underlying logic of things? The Buddha said: It cannot be said.

For example, pigs can fly on the tuyere. A person who thinks fast knows at a glance that this is about dividends, and maybe his understanding of this sentence is here.

People who think slowly will think at first glance, why can pigs fly? How strong is that wind, think about it carefully, oh, it turned out to be a tuyere.

It's like when I talk about operations to someone for more than an hour, and that person suddenly wakes up, oh, so you're talking about doing this! I understand that this is a slow thinking person.

Pigs can fly in the wind. A deeper understanding is that any industry has dividends in the early stage. If you miss it, there will be no more. A deeper understanding is that for good things, everyone's cognition is the same. In a new field, when only you and the services you provide are consistent with the needs of most people, you can be a winner. eat.

04 A person who thinks quickly and deeply

People who think fast do not understand things deeply, people who think slowly understand things deeply, but understand things too slowly. In addition to these two kinds of people, there is actually another kind of person: those who think fast and understand deeply.

What kind of existence is such a person? Let’s put it this way, if such a person goes to start a business, I will definitely vote for him. I have only met two or three people like this. They really understand everything, and when I tell you about this new thing, I will It seems like five or six years of research in this field, it's horrible, the brain is like a supercomputer.

Such people are hard to come by, don't doubt, you and I are definitely not such people. You may be a person who thinks quickly and does things quickly and is a little sun; you may also be a thinker who works slowly, but the quality of output is high. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and it is always the best way to avoid weaknesses.

05 Last

It still depends on the position you are in. Different positions have different needs for personality. Doing operations requires the ability to think deeply. It doesn’t matter if you think slowly, because we have to be responsible for the results. It is better to come up with a bland little plan one day.

If you are in a position of external communication, thinking quickly can give you a lot of extra points, and the most annoying kind of person who communicates and grinds.

So, what is the road ahead, you know?
