You may have heard the story of Wang Rong.
The story is that in ancient times there was a clever child named Wang Rong, when he was seven years old, with the small partners to go out to play, happened to see a plum tree on the side of the road full of fruit. So, we have to rush past to pick the plum, only Wang Rong stood aside, unmoved. Some people are very strange, they asked why he did not go with everyone to pick up the plum? Wang Rong replied: "This tree grows on the roadside where people come and go. it is full of fruit, but no one has picked it before."We taste, it is bitter plum."
When other children assume that plums are delicious and sweet fruits, Wang Rong is able to think deeper, in front of the plum tree and other things around the link, and thus have a unique insight. This is the charm of independent thinking.
In contrast, with the rapid development of the internet, a lot of information seems readily available, but at the same time, it also makes a lot of people become lazy, slowly lose the opportunity to think, into only know to receive various pieces of information, "the wind is rain ""blind people".
So how do we develop the ability to think independently?I believe this is also a lot of people doubt. In "how to read a book effectively—super practical notes reading", perhaps we can find the answer.
How to read a book effectively
The author of this book, Oshino, is the famous Japanese " notebook writer."Like many people, Oshino was also annoyed by his inability to internalize the essence of the book. after he insisted on using the“unitary” method to manage his work and life, he succeeded in developing his reading and taking notes from his interests into fun. In the era of the rapid development of intelligent technology, it is such” back to nature is relatively primitive "learning methods, so that he benefited, to continue to create the "wisdom to create exercise law",“three books to create good ideas”, "prescription" reading law " and other works. In addition, Oshino has also created information collation and intelligent creation methods, popular with business people, the cumulative sales of more than 500,000 copies.
The whole book Mind Map
"How to effectively read book-super practical notes reading" on the whole is a book that describes how to read notes, because the book includes the selection of books, purchase books, reading, recording, retrieval reread five steps, can be said to be a set of the scientific and efficient reading method. But in fact, the light of this book is: teach us how to study notes, cultivate the ability to think independently, so as to solve the problems in life. This can be from the” positive output to promote the idea of internalization“,”re-reading notes for the ideological enrichment“,” to create the home of thinking " three aspects to expand the narrative.
A positive output to promote the internalization of ideas
Many people may have this confusion: I attach great importance to learning new skills, reported a lot of classes such as writing, lectures, PPT, etc., obviously very hard, why always feel that they are always in a state of confusion? I think, the reason why there is such trouble, the biggest problem is only to learn blindfold, not to practice and output, and then finished even.As a result, each new skill learned, are only at the level of” half a bottle of water", that is, "only know one of the second".
What is the output? Our daily reading and reading study is "input", and the corresponding, "output" is in the "input" later, by writing out or say out of the way to convey their views to others. Maybe a lot of people have this experience, whether it is to participate in the speech or write an article, we will not chat with the usual thought of what to say, but always prepared in advance, including set a good theme, the overall framework, logic, arguments, arguments, etc., any details can be obtained will be arranged properly. And in the process of this preparation, a lot of the original obscure things, after we continue to look for evidence, in the mind becomes very clear. This is the equivalent of systematic learning again positive output, in fact, it help us to form a knowledge system.
In reading, we can use the original“onion tuna NABE pot reading notes” method to record, simply is to extract the important content for yourself, and then write a comment, the two parts are alternately, and marked with different symbols. Take a note I made while I was reading the Bible.：
You should not start reading until you have a general idea of the overall content and structure.
The same reason, this is as we go to unfamiliar places before, will first try to find out where the specific destination, how to go to the right. So, after understanding the general content of the article and the overall structure, read it will be handier.
In the view of Okuno Xuan, reading notes is also an output, can "stimulate the spark of thought, promote the internalization of thought".
Second, re-read the notes to add color to the thought
As we all know, according to the“ten thousand hours” law, the top speakers, musicians, and chess players, after 10000 hours of repeated temper became today's leader, that is to say, no matter what you do, as long as the ten thousand hours, basically can become an expert in the field.This speaks volumes about the importance of“repetition".
Reading books also need to be repeated. There is a saying: read the book a hundred times for their own righteousness. Nevertheless, in the fast-paced life of the moment, who else can have such patience and energy? Therefore, Oshino xuanzhi put forward the proposition of "re-reading reading notes".
In the view of Oshino Xuan, re-reading notes is to have a good reading experience is very important, not only can make the memory becomes strong, can also bring new discoveries, can stimulate creativity as creative material flexible use, more in the face of problems "come out" as a reference.In the last point, Oshino xuanzhi to experience as an example, when he encountered things in life, conditionally reflect the things in front of the book and the contents of the link, will think of "the book about this problem from which aspects to consider ""what precautions" and so on, so as to be able to quickly make a more comprehensive solution. This is like professional athletes in the daily training, the body muscles have a "memory", so in the game, even in the absence of consciousness, can have a good performance.
Third, to create a thinking home
If you look closely, you will find that“home " is everywhere. For the teacher, the home court is three feet on the podium, standing above can be full of preaching confusion; for the players, maybe in the road after the defeat, back to the home court, more able to cooperate with the tacit understanding, a game. So, "home" is like "their own turf", which is a person at the field.For us, if we can build such a "thinking of the home", when it is difficult, come back here to think again, the problem will be further consolidation.So, how do we build our own“thinking of the home”?
Junichi Hara, for example, has been focusing on the field of marketing for more than a decade, and has, therefore, read a large number of books on the field. Such as price strategy, market research, commodity development, brand management, marketing strategy and so on, coupled with the accumulation of practical experience in the work, a long time down, unwittingly build good "home thinking".In this way, whether in a cafe or in a restaurant, he will subconsciously evaluate, from the perspective of marketing to think about the strategic point of the restaurant or cafe.
Theme reading demonstration of Oshino Xuan
Similar to the original view of Junichi, Oshino xuanzhi believes that the theme of Reading method is the key to building“thinking of the home”, as long as there are three classic books on the same topic, encounter problems in life, you can have enough information can be used for reference.For example, in the study of the theme of "work and marriage", he chose 3 books on this topic to read, and the“onion tuna fondue” excerpt were made notes, and then the three books for argument information recorded, and then attach their own comments thinking. After this sort of finishing, got a hypothesis, then re-read notes and focus on the content for deeper understanding, repeated amendments, and finally concluded.
In this information flood era, one of the most important competitiveness of a person is undoubtedly the ability to think independently."How to effectively read a book—super practical notes reading method", the Aono Xuan from the "positive output to promote the thought of", "re-reading notes for the thought of enriching" and "create thinking of the home" three perspectives to guide us how to create an independent thinking ability this "weapon".
