想知道梨子的味道,就得尝。想知道理论的效果,就得用。经李善友介绍多元思维模型,又买了查理芒格《穷查理宝典》。他们提到了工程学冗余备份模型,听上去高大上,说通俗点就是多个备胎原则。这里强调工程学,我理解的是强调严谨,非如此不可,没有不成立。项目工程都有应急系统来应对突发状况,比如建筑里消防通道,通讯网络备份线路。于是我马上备份我电脑里重要的资料到U盘里,还给自己设定一条规则,每月更新一次。说不准,哪天遇到入室盗窃,电脑被偷。碰巧今天看到朋友圈出现了一则反例。
朋友总笑话我,说我每次喜欢把一些简单事情扯很远。每次我想解释,但想想还是算了。其实,这体现思维的延展性。理论能从更大的维度来把握不同事物的相关性,从而更加深刻的认知事物本质。而我喜欢从现实中去验证理论。在我看来,这是很有意思与知识的互动。当然其中的乐趣只有我知道,说实在的,身边很少人能够感受到。看《毛选》的时候,老毛提到在实践中发展理论。这不就是我所干的事吗?英雄所见略同,神交后的欣喜,顿时油然而生。
If you want to know the taste of a pear, you need to bite it. If you want to know the effectiveness of a theroy, just use it. Mr. Li introduced a concept,called multiple thinking models.That comes from Charles T. Munger's book, Poor Charlie's Almanack.They mentioned the model of redundant backup in engineering. It sounds like a complicatied concept. In fact,it means you should have backup for the important thing. But to emphsize engineering means the preciseness. If without it, engineering doesn't exist.Ok,immediately I make backup of the important information in my computer to USB flash drives.I also set up a rule to myself that I will update it each month.A counter-example appeared my Moments in wechat.
My friend always laughts at me when I'd like to connect what happen in my daily life to some theroy in books. Each time, I want to explain, but I don't. Acturally, that can prove the extension of one's thought. A theroy shows the relativity of different things from wider dimension. With it, you can recognize and catch the essence of matters deeply. That is what I like to do. It is very interesting interaction between you and writers when you test the theory in reality. Of course, that personal experience only belongs to me. Others around me seldom understand. When I read Selected works of Mao Zedong, Mao mentioned development of theory by practice. I just do what he said, don't I? When you read something same with writer's words, you will feel terrific.
