Knowledge is not equal to ability, you deserve to be unemployed!

I experienced sixteen years of "hard study" from first grade to university graduation. I thought I would be completely liberated after working and no longer have to study hard. However, I encountered obstacles everywhere when I entered the society. Then I realized that learning had just begun. After looking at the recruitment requirements for positions with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, I realized that I was really far behind! There is really as much knowledge as there is water in the sea, and there is really no limit to learning and hard work.

Don’t wait, academic qualifications do not equal ability!

Looking back on my nearly twenty years of study experience, I have learned a lot, but most of the knowledge was just for exams. After two years of work, I have almost forgotten all the concepts and formulas. The reason is very simple: those knowledge tasks It is not used at all in life. In order to work better, we have to learn skills that are not taught in textbooks.

I have a relative who graduated from 985 University. He completed his studies four years ago. His family regards him as a treasure - he is the only college student in a large family of dozens of people. His family didn't want him to go to a famous enterprise (the private enterprises in his hometown were all factories and mines), so they thought of spending some money through connections to send him to a public institution where he worked a nine-to-five job. Because there are no good opportunities, the employment problem is delayed for three or four years...

Many of my classmates returned to their hometowns after graduation. Because they are college students with a proud ancestor, they are unwilling to do small things and unable to do big things. , and finally can only stay at home and grow old.

Chinese people have criticized China’s exam-oriented education for decades. I want to say that academic qualifications do not equal ability, and knowledge cannot be used as food. Today, let’s briefly talk about the methodology of transforming knowledge into abilities.

To know what is happening, you must also know why

I am a new media operator, and copywriting is an essential basic skill. In the era of information explosion, the hippocampus of the human brain is like a secretary, filtering the information you want to see and handing it over to the brain for processing. So what information is the hippocampus interested in? This answer is where the copywriting comes in.

By consulting relevant knowledge, we learned that the hippocampus is particularly sensitive to the following four types of information:

1. Personal long-term hobbies: food, sex, movies, variety shows, etc.

2. Related to self-interest: where you live, property, house prices...

3. Related to what you are doing now: work, books you are reading...

4. Things that people around you are concerned about: such as hot news.

It is not enough for the copywriting to focus on the above four points. The content in these four directions should be irrationalized in order to attract attention and arouse the impulse to read, which is what we scold as clickbait. Only by doing this can a copy be read by more people.

God does not decide anything by rolling dice. The front and back sides of a coin falling from a high altitude can also be measured, because there are so many factors involved that we can treat it as a random event. However, work and life are not like tossing a coin. We are required to not only know what is happening, but also why it is happening. It requires us to explore more about the nature of the problem and improve our cognitive depth.

Primary school students have learned almost all abilities

Since primary school, teachers have taught us to draw inferences from one example. The knowledge of hippocampus protrusion mentioned earlier can be used in other ways besides writing copywriting. What about aspects?

This knowledge can also be applied in social activities. If you want to make acquaintance with a stranger, you need to take the initiative to say hello, and you also need to communicate in depth. This is more difficult than climbing to the sky for a patient with social phobia. In fact, based on the knowledge of hippocampus bulge, we only need to boldly talk about his interests, occupation, hometown, and experiences in the industry... This can break the deadlock and make the other party have the urge to communicate.

It can also be used to make jokes, giving very small and very small judgments on the areas that friends pay attention to. This attracts attention and creates a good contrast at the same time, attracting laughter. For example, the subway was so crowded that I joked that three of my ribs were broken.

In fact, many abilities have been learned in elementary school, but we just don’t understand them very well and do not apply them in our daily life and work. As a result, we lose our abilities over time.

What is the essence of learning?

The essence of learning is to change inherent thinking and behavioral habits through new cognition. Changes in cognition are the prerequisite for promoting changes in thinking, and a person's external behavior is one of the channels for the expression of thinking.

Applying what we have learned is about using the knowledge we have learned. The theorems and functions in the textbooks can be used in homework and exams, so we should keep those knowledge in mind during school. However, the job content after graduation is generally not like the campus exam questions. At this time, most people are confused and don’t know how to start! Some people even close themselves off and think that work is just what they have experienced. They are self-righteous and stop upgrading their self-awareness.

Many mechanical tasks, such as moving bricks, can be done as long as you devote physical strength and time. If it is just about moving bricks itself, there is no need to improve your cognition, you only need to have enough strength to do it well. . But in fact, the simpler the work, the more substitutable it is, and work that cannot be standardized and quantified will be the mainstream in the future.

Jobs that cannot be standardized mean there is huge room for improvement. Just like salespeople in the same line, the annual salary of ordinary sales may not be as high as the tax amount of the monthly salary of elite sales. Don't say that people have good connections. In addition to the gap in business capabilities, managing connections is also a very challenging job. It has extremely high requirements on a person's thoughts, hobbies, and emotional intelligence.

Learning is not about just watching, but about practicing knowledge. Only through continuous iterative thinking and improved behavior can knowledge be transformed into abilities. Brainless success learning may educate you to insist on doing one thing over and over again, but what I want to say is that you should never numb yourself by doing one thing over and over again. The only way to excellence is to improve the way you do things and improve efficiency with a result-oriented approach. key.

After studying for more than ten years, I finally realized that learning ability is what I lack. The second is to learn the knowledge you need instead of aimlessly!

The last sentence is, after hearing so many truths, if you don’t do it, you will be useless!
