The book first I thought it was filling 'Success chicken blood' of.
After reading found that he is about to do things, how to set goals, and, depending on the type of target, with different 'action strategies' to implement it, in order to increase the chances of succeed.
The main concept:
A. performance or progress
Short-term, high repeatability, simple goals, you can re-use way of performance to motivate yourself. (For example, let you press the 100 button, every click gives you a dollar, and when you face difficult target, vulnerable to, loss of power, self-confidence have been shaken, tortured self-esteem, a huge failure frustration, shortly after it is easy to give up)
Long-term, low-repetitive, complex objectives and progress of the growing use of mind to do Dishuichuanshi. (For example, you want to read a thick book, do not over-care center could not read stumbling, and to gain new knowledge in order to turn the mind to pleasant treat each page)
B. ask why or what is asked
Why ask for a target (abstract) help improve your motivation (such as repeated short press the button many times, such a simple thing)
Q. What is the goal for a (specific) to help execute your feet on the ground (such as learning complex knowledge)
C. aggressive or defensive
Aggressive mentality, from the perspective of achievement and results to make decisions, want to get something. (Appetite for risk, seeking to maximize the benefits); confident and optimistic spirit suit the needs of the target aggressive mentality, because it can help you avoid missed opportunities, seize the opportunity, but also let you have a strong driving force (power at the time of doing things )
Defensive mentality, from the perspective of seeking to avoid the loss of stability to make decisions, hoping to find the stable. (Risk averse, seeking long-term interests of stability); too optimistic spirit is not appropriate for the target defensive mindset needs to be done, because it may create the illusion of optimism, because eventually you get to hang light heart and committed an error can be avoided . (Required pessimistic, cautious)
D. intrinsic motivation is the fuel of success
1. Excessive performance appraisal and reward will ruin the driving force (intrinsic motivation) is. (Because it may begin to care about doing his income, reward, and not just concentrate seriously on the process of doing things, which may lead to poor results); this independent school called [feel]
2. There is also a self-brainwashing approach can improve their driving force, when you do one thing no choice, you can lie to yourself, or to let others cheat himself, he is actually given a choice, for example, there are many options exist A. a B. do things or do things still do things a C. a, so there are three different options too, and you'll think you still have a sense of control in this matter, when you just [think] there is a sense of control, then you do things power will be raised. (For example, think they own silver tea masters, we voted for Shepherd, A shepherd A shepherd B. B; the actual essence A = B, just a different make-up, then you will really feel ownership ). So to improve their intrinsic motivation
E. self-control
Self-control this spiritual strength, like 'muscle', is there an upper limit consumption, but can be restored, you can also exercise self-control.
When you are weak in self-control, but also need to complete the task, then the temptation will take the initiative to complete the task better isolation.
When the task to be accomplished by what does not need to resist the temptation, temptation can take the initiative to put some things, while doing the task to exercise self-control.
to sum up:
So do things in the future, when the goal is to look at the long-term or short-term, the risks outweigh the benefits, the benefits outweigh the risks, and adopt different strategies to perform in order to improve the chances of succeed.
Measures to combat work force (over-assessment of performance and strong high pressure control - there are only short-term effect on simple tasks)
Measures to enhance work force (such as forced others to complete the mandatory requirements your thing, you can self-brainwashing, in order to improve their own feelings of self-autonomy so that they feel that they actually have a sense of control, the right to choose, as long as [think ] is the case, it)
Raising short-term way to complete the task efficiency
Enhance the long-term efficiency of the way the task is completed
---------
Extract bits and pieces, but more useful knowledge
Some goals, when executed, with progressive attitude to complete; after reaching, with defensive mentality to consolidate.
Advance preparation can improve the chances to succeed, do not just imagine the success of the last picture (can bring power), the brain is more important to fill out the middle of the process of the 'tween' (you can make the effective implementation), this method scientific name is called psychological control. If you can, prepare some simple plan, just as if ...... I ......, for example, I'm losing weight, then see if I have junk food at home, put them into the trash, out of sight out of mind.
Face need self-control targets, preferably before you defeat temptation, the temptation to exclude the first factor. Before you begin to stop, do not run the risk fearless.
For the optimistic self-confidence, first keep a clear perception of the correct premise.
Praise others, it was not always good, sometimes a mistake. (This may be someone with a sense of contempt, because you say so, in others it seems, he may think that you seem to be doing very well, but he was just a man just arrived pass line; so do not do comparative and on the lower level type of praise, but only described without judgment should be under equal relationship 'praise' (think of the "non-violent communication" in point of view, to observe without comment is the most advanced form of human intelligence, I think this observation can communicate, but at the declarative, rather than judging each other)
