Poor people mindset that will destroys your life
The poor people mindset can lead to a disease, that is, poor disease.
If you want to improve your financial situation, you need to change your mindset first.
Today’s topic is about two types of poor people mindset. If you have these mindsets, it is better for you to change it as soon as possible.
Poor mindset 1: Cognitive closure
The cognitive closure means that when people face a vague or complex problem, there is a need to find a clear answer to the problem.
However, do not feel that people are "studious" will be so "thirst for knowledge" exuberant!
When looking for answers, people tend to take the simplest and crude approach to avoid thinking and practicing.
It can be said that the answer is not important, what’s important is to find an answer to get a sense of certainty.
In the process of finding the answer, people tend to make two mistakes, one is to find the basis based on their own previous personal experience, the other is to follow what others say.
For example, there is a family recently had very bad luck, the kids failed their exam, the wife hurt herself when cooking, and the husband accidentally fell and broke the waist. In short, unlucky events constantly happening.
The husband needed an answer, he found a fortune teller, and the fortune-teller told him that it was because the fish ponds outside his house were not in the right place, causing those unlucky events to happen. "Just bury the fish pond or move the fish pond somewhere else." The fortune-teller said.
In this way, the family is at ease. This is the typical too much cognitive closure.
After finding the answer to the question, he has a sense of certainty, and it doesn't matter what the answer is, as long as he believes it.
Another example, make money by becoming a content creator. There are always some people will think, how can you make money from this? You're a liar!
Before social eating (also known as muk-bang) was a thing, if you are willing to do this, you might already earning some money. Then someone will say: “You liar, who will watch someone eating? Who would give rewards? I wouldn't watch it!”
You see, from the example above, you found what the problem is! When facing a new phenomenon, some people look for answers from their own perspective, from their own experiences. But you know, people are different. You don’t watch it, doesn’t mean that others wouldn’t watch too!
From the above two examples, it can be seen that too much cognitive closure will often lead to two trends:
Either using the mystery of metaphysics to answer the questions or make a subjective conjecture and make a premature conclusion.
Whether we are in the workplace or in creating a side income and entrepreneurial process, we should try to avoid using too much of our cognitive closure, because too much of cognitive closure will make you judge prematurely, this will lose the opportunity to learn new things, the opportunity is often quietly hidden in the new things !
When facing things that you don’t understand or having a vague answer for the question, learn to be patience, not blindly get to the conclusion. It is better to adopt a more open, development mentality to in-depth thinking and analysis.
When the mobile phone is not yet popular, there was a street interview, 90% of people said they will not buy a mobile phone, a fixed telephone is enough. But nowadays, people can’t live without a mobile phone!
When facing things that we don’t know or vague new phenomenon, the answer is easy to find from their past knowledge experience and perspective, they ignore the era has been developing, technology has been improving, people's needs will be more and more refined.
The world is changing and progressing every day, and there is no certainty, it has never stopped changing. Technology is changing the world, and each of us is involved and cannot be “spared”.
Therefore, if you want to seize the opportunity, over the better, you must avoid too much cognitive closure, this problem will make you stop thinking deeply, will make you complacent, make subjective conclusions, and even string by others.
Poor mindset 2: "confirm bias"
In my opinion, the biggest issue is being too “picky” from the information point of view or environment. They have their temper, only willing to accept what they believe, for their dislike, they are unwilling to believe that the adoption of the repulsive attitude, will ignore, will go directly to the negative, or even attack.
In "Subliminal: How your unconscious mind rules your behavior," Mlodinow said: "There are two ways when people making a judgment, one is “the way of the scientist, which jumps to conclusions with evidence, another one is "the way of the lawyer", which comes with a conclusion first then look for the evidence.
Most of us belong to the latter, and we will love to see what our hearts agree. For those that we disagree, we not only don’t like to see but also think that this is wrong.
Only accept the information you agree, which is called “Confirmation bias.” Confirmation bias makes you stubborn and live in your world, because you only believe in what you want to believe, and just keep focusing on the information that strengthens that belief, and you choose to ignore or even criticize those you don't believe in.
This is dangerous, often using “confirmation bias” without self-knowledge, will become not pleasing to others, no matter what others say, first refute, in order to oppose and oppose, by refuting others to highlight their superiority;
Or seal off themselves in their own information environment, can’t accept other things that are inconsistent with their thoughts.
You might know this if you worked in the news related jobs: "Journalism is giving the viewers what they want is more practical than giving the audience the facts."
Indeed, giving the viewers and readers what they want is more profitable than giving the facts.
What do viewers and readers want? Entertainment and confirmation.
A lot of famous motivation articles are also using this method. Through a story, affirm the concept of a certain type of audience, they only need to use the reader "to confirm the mistake" this mentality to cater to the audience, easy money if readers like what they read.
Those authors make money from these, but what did those readers get? They are just looping around in their own information system.
In the mass Information era, are you the master or the slave?
The Internet is full of information, and we are actively or passively accepting all kinds of information every day.
It's good and bad. We can become the master of reading information, through reading information, we learn the nutrients we need to achieve self-improvement and the purpose of making money.
It is easy to be a slave to information, to be led by the message, take our time, waste our energy and our emotions.
Using information resources, we can fight back. At the same time, sinking in the mass of information without direction, it is easy to make us lost.
Start from the two mindsets mentioned above. We may never completely change, after all, it is still our human instinct, but at least we need to understand, and begin to find back the initiative.
