Reading notes on attitude: always looking for a better way
Maybe each of us will encounter some difficulties when we do what we want to do. What should we do at this time? I remember what influenced me the most was what Charles Munger said: Don't fall into self-pity, pay attention to "mental health", because that's what he did. Shortly after he divorced his first wife, the child who was only a few years old fell ill again, and he may die soon. Even so, he didn't feel depressed, but faced it positively.

This is more like talking about the attitude towards life.

In the 37th letter of Attitude, when she learned that her second daughter had difficulties in learning Spanish and felt helpless, Wu Jun told her daughter that she would always find a better way.

He said that if some unfortunate things happen again and again, it means that there may be something wrong with the way we do things, and we need to jump out of the original fixed thinking and find a better way. This is both a skill and a positive attitude towards life.

He told the story of his colleague Jeff huber, because he was poor in a small town and was almost buried in a pile of cow dung. His family said that the only way to avoid this tragedy is to go to a good university and leave home. So huber studied hard, and later he was admitted to the university and worked at Google. It was a great blow to him because his wife was found to have cancer too late. But instead of complaining, he thinks that tragedy is inevitable because there is no better way. Has he thought about how to have a better way to avoid such a tragedy? At that time, at the high position that Google had achieved, he decisively went to Google's newly established Calico company to try to solve the problem of early diagnosis and treatment of cancer through it. Finally, he devoted himself to this direction and founded his own cancer early detection company with his friends.

Wu Jun said that many people, including himself, have invested in companies in huber. Everyone values not only its technology, but also the attitude of Huber and others in facing difficulties and problems. Always ask yourself if there is a better way.

People can't do everything smoothly. When they encounter unsatisfactory things, they don't complain, but take the initiative to think about whether there is a better way and then take action. As Huber said, don't run away from anything, ask yourself if there is a better way than running away, and if you can do something to solve the problem, even if it is part of it.

Finally, if we have such a positive attitude towards difficulties and problems, it will be beneficial to life.

This is what the author said to his second daughter. He also said that after one year, her Spanish scores improved steadily.

It is also very useful to take reading notes, write more and remind yourself more. For example, when I encounter some difficult things, my first thought is to escape, which needs improvement. I am also very inspired in guiding children. A new song is difficult, and I don't want to face it first. A math problem, when I read it, I found that I couldn't, and I wanted to escape. At this time, I want to remind her to relax, change her attitude towards difficulties and practice a new song first. I want to read the math problem carefully first, and then read it a few times if I can't understand it.
