Mindset
Our behaviour is greatly influenced by the way we think, but we often don't notice it ourselves. Because the thinking process mostly happens automatically, only by recognizing the existence of these ways of thinking can we effectively change those negative ways of thinking and thus change our future.
The key to thinking is mainly systematic and logical. The various jobs you have done, the different experiences you have accumulated, and the various ideas you have in your work and life are all fragments. It is a challenge to string them together and build a knowledge system of your own, and the building process must conform to a certain logic.
Classification of thinking styles includes reverse thinking, also known as divergent thinking, which is a way of thinking about the commonplace that seems to have become a foregone conclusion of things or ideas in the opposite direction.
To do this, 1. Must dare to "think in the opposite direction", so that thinking in the order of the opposite, from the opposite side of the issue to explore in-depth, establish new ideas, and create a new image. When everyone is thinking in a fixed direction, and you are alone in the opposite direction, such a way of thinking is called reverse thinking.
People are accustomed to thinking in a positive order of things to think about problems and seek solutions. In fact, for some problems, especially some unique problems, from the conclusion backward, backward thinking, from the solution back to the general conditions, reverse thinking may make the problem simpler.
2. Abstract thinking
Abstract thinking is the process of using words to make judgments, reason, and conclude, also known as word thinking or logical thinking. Abstract thinking uses words as intermediaries to reflect reality, which is the most essential feature of thinking and is the fundamental difference between human thinking and animal psychology.
3. Linear thinking
Linear thinking, that is, a linear way of thinking, is a one-sided, linear, intuitive way of thinking that rests on the abstraction of the matter rather than the essence of the abstraction, and takes such abstraction as the starting point for understanding.
Formal logic is only the logic of knowing, but if it is taken as a way of thinking it is a linear way of thinking. Such a way of thinking cannot grasp the essence and laws behind complex economic phenomena.
Linear thinking is linear, unidirectional, one-dimensional, and lacks change in the way of thinking, non-linear thinking is interconnected, non-planar, and three-dimensional, with no centre, and no edge of the mesh structure, similar to the human brain nerve and vascular tissue.
Linear thinking, such as traditional writing and reading, is influenced by the space of manuscripts and books and must be carried out in a spatial-temporal and logical sequence.
4. Image thinking
Figurative thinking is a thought process that is anchored by visual images and representations. For example, when a writer shapes a typical literary character image, or a painter creates a picture, they must first conceive of this task in their mind. This conceptual process involves picturing people or objects as material, which is known as image thinking.
