Every promising person, in fact, the most powerful is not their education, not their family background, more importantly, they dare to insist on the ability to think independently.
In the past, jobs has been variously described in media reports as "focused," "perfectionist," "elitist," and "authoritarian." In fact, jobs' greatest strength is that he always insists on independent thinking, which makes him a brilliant success and has been worshipped by many entrepreneurs.
A man who doesn't think often laments the problems that come his way, while a man who thinks for himself always finds a way to solve them. This is the key to determine whether a person can go far, but also whether they have the key.
1.Independent thinking gets you out of your own way
Independent thinking is not only the only way to solve problems, but also the only way to enterprise innovation and personal improvement, and the only way to obtain independent personality. So get in the habit of thinking for yourself, whether it's at work, starting a business, or in your daily life.
Independent thinking is often insight into the world, is to grasp the needs. For example, robin li, the founder of baidu, was the world's top search engine engineer when he started.
But he was not content to marry for others. He believed that search was the future, so he gave up his high-paying position as an engineer and went back to China to found baidu, eventually creating a legend. Looking at li's road to success, it is actually a path of insisting on being independent and thinking independently, and practicing his own thinking.
- Freedom comes from thinking independently and avoiding conformity
The truth is, most successful people are independent thinkers. Independent thinking is very important for young people who are eager to succeed. If you want to become a better person and achieve the success you've always wanted, you must learn to think for yourself.
Nietzsche once said that the way for a person to achieve true freedom is to learn to think independently. A person will not think independently, in fact, the mood is always out of control, will be led by the nose, the loss of freedom. Those who are truly free and independent are those who are good at controlling their emotions.
I always like "three silly bollywood" play that smart lanche, he is free, is that he has never used results to kidnap him, his heart has never had a framework, he constantly adhere to their ability to think independently, to do valuable things, so they will eventually create their own happiness.
Lanche the most powerful point, will start from the essence of things, he does anything, not for the sake of achievement and achievement, nor for the sake of fame, but the pursuit of the heart, to think about what is the source of things, it is because of this kind of thinking, to let him find the truth of things, then can make great achievements.
Thinking for yourself makes you truly responsible for yourself
Steve jobs, the former chief executive of apple, is a maverick. He always insists on independent thinking and always looks at what he has done from a unique perspective.
He famously said, "your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly think. Everything else is secondary.
That's what he said, that's what he did, and that's what led apple to unprecedented success. The apple created by Steve jobs is the persistence of his inner philosophy. He makes his products to the extreme, far away from others and impossible for others to follow, so as to guarantee the market share and obtain rich returns.
At jobs' insistence, apple opted for a leaner approach, and though it maintained only six product lines from the 1990s to the early 2000s, its product share remained firmly in the market. This is the best part of Steve jobs. His independent thinking is to make his products perfect, which will enable him to surpass others.
In general, independent thinking is a necessary skill for a person who has great potential, because independent thinking helps us to only belong to ourselves. However, we should know that independent thinking may make us not fit in well with others, but looking at those successful people who do not know independent thinking will create their own best way.
