Have you asked ever the question - what is actually a way of thinking?
I hear "think the word" is used a lot, not only with my corporate clients, but also with my students and I always ask this question "What is a way of thinking"? Not many people can tell me what is a way of thinking. A lot of people talk, but no one can tell me what it is. If we do not know what a way of thinking is how we can ask the question, then, what is a change of mentality?
So, I decided one day, the term "think" to explore. I literally went through dozens of books and dozens of sites on the Internet.
So we walk through some dictionary definition first.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines as "they established set kept by someone attitudes" mentality.
Help me not.
So I tried Wikipedia,
'A number of assumptions, methods or notations held by one or more persons or groups of people, that is so determined that it creates a powerful incentive within these individuals or groups to adopt or take previous conduct, decisions or tools'.
Note that both definition contains references of the past, 'produced set of settings', 'obtained' and 'prior practices'.
But you and I not this at all help. I can after weeks and months of thinking about this, saying I've decided, my own way to explain what a way of thinking is to create.
This is what I think, what is a setting
Imagine that you and a friend planning from point A to point B Travel 500 km is. Imagine that you bus travel and your friend with the train is travelling. 2 Modes of transport.
What makes them different?
If I ask my students this question, they come with the normal responses
'Comfort'
"Security"
Enjoy '
'Speed'
' Preis
and so on.
You can get something similar with. Think again. What are the other differences between these 2 modes of transport?
If you guess the road and the train track, then you are on on the ground.
You see, the train can only travel where there is a train track. It may not be different. It must remain on it. There is no such thing as reverse, unless, of course, that a track which turns around. If the train's get on the track, which can go in one direction. Is it not very flexible?
But the bus is different. Certainly there are on roads, where the bus can travel, but the bus is much more flexible than the train. There are many many ways to get you on the highway or the coastal roads the roads can or to a specific objective.
What is important to note is someone else in the past to build a specific route here when it comes to the train, and the best way from point A to point B is based this way had to on what they know at this time. The streets are different. We started with single carriage way and someone else would then build a dual carriageway then some years later, someone would create a highway. Who know what they would build in the future?
Why is this happening? It occurs because the requirements of the movement of the infrastructure at that time can no longer be maintained.
It is the same for us. There are many things we do now, that is, does not support our goals or the changes that we want to make in our lives.
So why do it the way, how we do it? One of the reasons why we do the things we do and the way we is, since that was the way it has done and as a result of "Education" we do not doubt mentality, it and we will not be changed.
And that's what is a setting. We have the way of thinking as the train, we will always think that this is the only way to do it, or this is the only way to get there.
If we are like the bus, we are constantly searching for another way, a better way so that we can get where we go.
When we talk about change of mentality, it is really about, from the train and bus. Maybe one day it goes therefore, from the bus and at a level.
Learned when compared to students
So for me, there are really two types of mentality, which I have developed as my way of life over the years. There are scientists mentality (which is on the train) and the mentality of students is about to be on the bus.
A scholar thinking says that there is nothing more to learn. This is the kind and way it is. That there are no better way to do this. I think that you can imagine quite a bit, that this is not the best recipe for growth.
A learning mindset says, that way we do, there is always a better way to do things. What we know, there's a lot we don't know. No matter how good we are we can do better.
The point of my article is that I would like to make a proposal, we no longer talk about change of mentality, how it does not much help.
We talk about the change of a scholar way doing things and a Lerner way of doing things. Then we can things done.
What is the best way of learning to change not only a learner? That it deserves an article on its own. In this article I shall leave you with some questions, to questions. By you can start these questions move from not only a student learned:
You, you see three things every day, you, that you are doing ImproveCan can think of someone else know what you want to do and to see if there are things that you ThemThink can learn three things, that it well and you are questions, I can do at this great to be doingSo happy to think and learn happily. Listen to talk someone about change of mentality, questions the next time you him, "what do you mean head and how do you change it"?
By my note thanks for dropping. I hope that you read some distinctions can take. These ideas and thoughts come from my soon to-be published book reactivate your life - how to make changes and achieve everything you want in your life. For more resources, see Reza Ali Web site.
