When I woke up this morning and checked Zhihu, I saw a question that reminded me of two books, one is "Jobs Biography" and the other is "Netflix Culture Manual".
What's the problem?
How to understand what Jobs said "I especially like working with smart people, because the biggest benefit is not to think about their self-esteem"?
If you have read "Jobs Biography", you should understand the meaning of this sentence.
Jobs said: "I especially like to associate with smart people, because I don't have to consider their dignity."
The interviewer asked: "Do smart people have no dignity?"
Jobs said: No, smart people pay more attention to their own growth and keep an open mind at all times, rather than defending "face" and trying to prove "I am right".
To be a smart person, to be a person who contributes to mankind, to be a person of value. Those who love to go out love to return, and those who are blessed are blessed to come.
The biggest characteristic of a smart person is that he can humbly accept other people's suggestions, take their essence, and let himself grow better. It's not that they don't care about their dignity, but they understand that personal growth and progress are the shields for dignity.
If you want to gain the respect of others, you must first make yourself stronger. The foundation of strength is personal growth. Therefore, they will be very smart to listen to other people's suggestions, adjust their methods, and let themselves grow better.
We often meet a lot of stubborn people. They protect their face by refuting. As long as they hear ideas that are different from their own, they will rebut immediately. They always try, and even rack their brains, to convince others: you My opinion is wrong, mine is right. Feeling that others disagree with him is the same as thinking that he is incompetent.
The famous law professor Luo Xiang once said some classic words: "People are very accustomed to being argumentative, they will indulge their argumentative nature, and they will also indulge their ignorant enthusiasm. We all know that the ignorant is fearless. A person with more knowledge Poor people have an inexplicable courage and an inexplicable sense of pride. Because the poorer the knowledge, the more absolute what you believe, because you have never heard the opposite point of view. Yelang is arrogant It is ignorance and the nature of debaters. People often escalate arguments of opinions into verbal attacks, and even turn verbal attacks into physical battles. Many people often ask why Internet trolls often speak illogically , This actually captures the essence of the problem. Because many times, Internet trolls are arguing, and there is no need to talk about logic in quarreling. Talking about logic is called argument, and there is no need to talk about logic in quarreling.”
This is really the battle of perception. The most essential difference between people is the difference in cognition.
Musk has made similar statements!
Musk said: I don't argue with people now, if someone tells me, 2+2=10, I will say you are absolutely right!
Because I know that a person's point of view can only be based on his own cognition, and a person can never go beyond his own cognition!
These words are very good to explain why there are so many trolls on the Internet: Everyone's education, knowledge, and growth environment are different, leading to huge differences in cognition.
More than 90% of people have cognitive defects, the more ignorant they are, the more confident they are, and the stronger they are, the more humble they are!
Here's a tool: the Dunning-Kruger Effect !
90% of people have cognitive defects, the more ignorant they are, the more confident they are, the stronger they are, the more humble they are.
In the 1990s, Dunning-Kruger, a cognitive psychologist at Cornell University in the United States, discovered a very interesting psychological phenomenon: the lower the level of knowledge, the more self-confident they are. In response to this phenomenon, he proposed the famous "Dunning-Kruger psychological effect".
He pointed out that if people with low ability are properly trained, they can increase their ability level so much that they will eventually recognize their own inadequacy, and eventually they will admit their previous ignorance.
This tool reveals a truth: the less capable a person feels, the more powerful he is, and the more capable a person is, the more humble he is.
Many people live in a state of ignorance throughout their lives, and only a very small number of people can go to the slope of enlightenment and reach the peak of wisdom, live a transparent and open-minded life, and gain the sublimation of wisdom.
People who see the truth don't want to argue! And more is a group of rabble!
When I saw this passage from Jobs, I remembered one of Netflix's recruitment principles when I read the "Netflix Culture Manual" before: We only recruit adults .
What? Aren't all adults who can participate in the work? Why does Netflix have such a strange hiring policy?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand this recruitment criterion of Netflix. The criterion for whether a person is an adult is not age, but the maturity of mind.
We all know that children think with emotions, and generally cannot control their emotions, and children lose their temper. What adults have to do is not to complain, but to solve problems by themselves. Adults are those who know exactly what they want and are willing to work hard for it. Adults are hungry for success and know they are equal contracts with the company.
So, from Netflix's point of view, I hire people to solve problems, not create them. When you understand the true meaning of Netflix's adult, you understand this standard, which is actually similar to this sentence of Jobs.
