today I wanna share with you the big different between some of the world's greatest thinkers and ordinary people. now this thing can really change your professional and your personal life. People like Ray Dalio but also very common in scientists as well and that's the power of higher order thinking. Let me first give you an example what I might refer to this first order thinking. For example your boss set you an aggressive sales target maybe up 30% and so you'll work your team through the night you achieve the target. Second you admit it to a fantastic university by the skin of your teeth you just got in and you go take up the offer. third well you're pretty tired in your current relationship you meet someone new and exciting so you dump who you've got and go out with a new person.these three things I could describe as first order thinking. there was an immediate problem whether it's your love life, your sales target or getting into a good university and you solve it with the first solution that's available to you. however the greatest thinkers and about 99% of people don't do this but the greatest thinkers try and think to higher order. Let me go through those three examples again and describe some of the unintended consequences that people didn't think through.yeah, you achieve the sales target but the next quarter everybody resigned because they were too tired and then you miss all your subsequent sales target and you're fired. you get into one of the best universities but you only just got in there and it turns out actually everybody's much better than you, you end up close to bottom of your class whereas you could have gone to a smaller university come top and be much more employable or third turns out the new person those feelings of 新鲜感, well they disappear within six months too and you're left right where you started. the point is this a lot of us just think about the immediate problem we wish to solve rather than the longer term problems.higher order thinking is about thinking through your decisions ef
