Chapter 21 Chapter 3 Method is King: Solving Problems Easily

1. Identify the target: what is the problem? To solve the problem, we must first define the problem correctly.Figured out what the problem is?It is tantamount to finding the target that should be aimed at.Otherwise, it will either be to no avail, or it will be the opposite. A well-defined problem is tantamount to solving half of the problem. (1) Back to the real purpose of solving the problem. (2) Raise the level of the problem to be defined. (3) Consider finding solutions from other aspects or even opposite aspects. 2. Learn to change places to drill wells Anyone and any enterprise must learn to open up new fields if they want to develop rapidly.

Drilling a well in one place, if there is no water for a long time, don't continue to dig a well, but consider changing to another place. (1) If you are good at digging wells in different places, you will have a broader idea of ​​creating inventions. (2) If you are good at digging wells in different places, you will have better ways to solve problems. (3) If you are good at drilling wells in different places, it will be easier to stand out in the unit. (4) If you are good at changing places to dig wells, you will be more likely to remain invincible in the competition. 3. Solving problems by analogy

Whenever rationality lacks reliable lines of argument, analogy can often guide us. The psychological mechanism that creates associations is first and foremost an analogy (1) Cultivate an intuition for similarity. (2) Find the correspondence directly. (3) Let past experience and lessons effectively guide today. 4. Solve the problem with the reverse method When there is no way to go through the front, try to take a look from the reverse side, maybe it will go through all of a sudden. The reverse thinking method is a method that goes against common sense and explores and solves problems from the negative side.Specifically, to master the reverse method, we should mainly pay attention to these aspects:

(1) Reverse solution, the willow is dark and the flower is bright. (2) Turning waste into wealth and using it in reverse. (3) Pros and cons. 5. Use a lateral approach to problem solving When thinking about problems, think and solve problems not from a positive perspective, but from an unexpected side.Find connections from the side, highlight excitement from the side, find value from the side, and find breakthroughs from the side The key to cultivating lateral thinking ability lies in two points: (1) Cultivate the habit of roundabout thinking. (2) Grasp the dialectics of strength and weakness.

6. Solving problems with a systematic approach In the last century, Bertalanffy absorbed the outstanding achievements of his predecessors and created the general system theory.Together with cybernetics and information theory, system theory is called the three major theories, and it is an important theory for the development of thinking science in the 20th century. The system approach is: when considering the solution to a certain problem, it is not treated as an isolated and divided problem, but as an organically related system. The system method mainly includes: the integrity of the system, the organic connection of the system, the hierarchy of the system, the environment of the system, and the dynamic development of the system.

To master and use the system method well, the focus should be on: (1) Change the point-to-point relationship into a system relationship. (2) Learn that one plus one is greater than two. (3) Ingeniously manufacture self-solution systems. 7. Solve problems with addition and subtraction All principles in the universe are one plus and one minus, very simple. Addition and subtraction is a way of thinking that increases and decreases the number of elements of things. This seemingly simplest method has a great effect on governing the country, inventing and creating, running a business, or solving problems in life.

8. Use the W-shaped method to solve problems When you encounter difficulties and problems, you should be indomitable and never give up until you reach your goal.But the specific process of solving the problem is not to rush forward blindly at all times, and not know how to turn back when you hit the south wall. Sometimes, you have to give special attention to quitting.Being able to advance and retreat is a kind of complete wisdom.The necessary retreat is precisely to advance better. The W-shaped thinking method is a method of retreating into progress.It often has the courage to accept unreasonable conditions from the other party.But the most interesting thing is: when you accept the condition, you analyze that condition itself hides the best way to defeat your opponent.

9. Solve problems in an easier way Simplifying the problem is the embodiment of wisdom.More is not necessarily better, just right. People can't be simple, and they are often limited by the mindset of pursuing complexity. Learn to cut down information that has nothing to do with the essence, grasp the fundamentals well, and express the problem in the simplest form. If you ask the premise of the argument, you will not be trapped. 10. Transform the problem skillfully Sometimes we encounter problems that are difficult to solve through direct methods.However, if the original difficult problem is transformed into another easy-to-solve problem through transformation, the effect may be completely different.

The formula for problem transformation can be expressed as: A problem is actually a B problem; A relationship is actually a B relationship; To solve problem A is to solve problem B. 11. Be great wisdom, not petty cleverness Some people think they are smart, but in the end they are often misunderstood by their cleverness, and at the least they lose opportunities, and at worst they cause immeasurable losses.Because their so-called cleverness is often a weapon to defeat themselves! Whether to grasp the dialectics of gains and losses is a great wisdom, Still only the important difference of being clever.

Disadvantage is a blessing.It is better to be clever than to be sincere. 12. Let more people help you succeed No one can succeed alone.It is a high degree of wisdom to let more people help you succeed. In today's society, if individual ability is not combined with team spirit, it will inevitably not produce ideal benefits. Hooray for understanding?Understand what others don't understand first! Being good at turning a force that hinders you into a force that supports you is the greatest addition. Good deeds bring luck. Thirteen, grasp the key points, grasp the fundamentals If you grab the eyebrows and beards, the result is often that everything starts and everything fails. Even if things can be done, it takes a lot of time and energy.

On the contrary, if you are good at grasping the key points of the problem, no matter how difficult the problem is, you can solve it quickly. This reflects the charm of grasping the main points and grasping the fundamentals. (1) Learn to tap acupuncture points. (2) Catch the place where the whole body is pulled and mobilized. (3) Seize the most touching place. (4) Grasp the commanding heights. 14. When two roads are in front of you, choose the third one There are only two paths ahead, but the wiser way is: choose the third. An either-or choice may not necessarily be the best choice.The choice of the third way may be the best choice. (1) Restrain blind impulse.The bigger picture matters. (2) Go beyond aggression and submission, and focus on win-win. (3) Get rid of either-or thinking and pursue the best of both worlds.
