"I've heard a lot of truths, but I still don't have a good life." From childhood to adulthood, we have indeed heard a lot of truths and famous sayings. The principles are inherently contradictory, or it is necessary to distinguish the applicable situations.
For example, between "If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world" and "Whoever achieves big things doesn't care about the small details", who should you listen to?
So, is there any truth that holds true at any time, place, and condition?
Effort formula
This reminds me of a saying that junior high school teachers often say, "You work harder than others every day. We all know that you have learned to chase problems, so you will catch up with others sooner or later." Now thinking about it, this formula is not only a It is valid for us in our student days, and it is valid for all aspects of work and life. Isn’t this the truth I am looking for that is valid at any time, place and condition.
This made me notice that the application of mathematical formulas to finding truth is so effective, the reason is that the mathematical edifice is built entirely on logic, and is therefore not itself affected by time, space, and other variables. , and for preconditions, also minimize or eliminate them.
Now let's take a look at the formulas for movement speed and distance:
S = S0 + Vt；
That is to say, even if our current position S0 is temporarily behind others, as long as our speed V is greater than others, our final score S will surpass others sooner or later. This formula provides a strong theoretical support for us to upgrade from the ordinary class to the experimental class.
This formula works very well in schools because we all have the same goal, which is good grades. But when it comes to such a big topic in life, everyone's goals are different, so this formula can also be revised:
S = S0 + (V→)t；
Here S0 not only refers to grades, but also includes their respective family conditions, physical conditions, etc., while the speed V becomes a vector, which not only has size but also direction.
That is to say, although some people work very hard, the direction of their efforts may temporarily deviate from their own goals. Therefore, it is also very important to work hard in your own direction.
Quantity and Career Development Relationship Formula
This is a formula shared by Mr. Wu Jun in "Wu Jun's Google Methodology". Mr. Wu Jun pointed out that our work is divided into orders of magnitude. He summed up such a formula:
achievement = success rate of things X order of magnitude of things X speed of doing things;
When a person first comes to work in a company, he often starts with small things, because he cannot do big things, and he is not skilled and slow. At this time, the three factors of the above formula are very small.
If a person is too ambitious, the success rate is always equal to zero, and he will achieve nothing in his life. If you are down-to-earth, after a period of time, the success rate will increase. After the efficiency is high, the speed of doing things will also increase. Most people can do this.
However, in the workplace, what most people can't do is to improve the magnitude of things.
For example, the founder of New Oriental, Yu Minhong, was a gold-medal lecturer when he was in school. If he was still Teacher Yu, then no matter how good his lectures were, he was only earning hard money, but then Yu Minhong went to sea to start his own business. "New Oriental" achieved a breakthrough in magnitude. At this time, what he has to do is different. What he needs to improve is not his own teaching level, but the level of doing business.
It can be seen that the difference in magnitude, the superposition of several low-level things is far less than a high-level thing, and there are often qualitative differences between different levels, which requires us to think and do things. There are new breakthroughs and innovations.
