Thinking is the process of information processing and imagination, which refers to thinking activities such as analysis, synthesis, reasoning, and judgment on one or more objects. Thinking is an exploratory activity of thinking, which originates from the subject’s processing of intentional information. Human thinking is the process of processing intention-information content by one’s mind. Any thinking is based on reasoning and calculation in association – chain reaction – processing of information content.

The above definition is complicated? Here is a brief summary: When thinking about object A, you must consider the antecedents, consequences, and processes of A, analyze and correlate the background information (knowledge) related to A in your brain, and finally conclude.

What Is Thinking Power?

As mentioned above, thinking is an activity of thinking, so what is thinking power? Thinking power is a force produced in the thinking process. In physics, force has three basic elements: magnitude, direction, and point of action. Extending to the process of thinking, thinking power is also inseparable from the three most basic elements: size, direction, and point of action.

The size of thinking power: that is, the depth of thinking

• The size of thinking is related to the amount of knowledge and information related to the object of thought – that is, the targeted collection of relevant information about the object of thought.
• The “size” or depth of thinking depends on the amount (size) of information the thinker has about the object of thought.
• Without relevant knowledge and information, it is impossible to produce relevant thinking activities.
• For example, if you want to think about “how to use entropy theory”, if you don’t have much knowledge about “entropy theory” in your mind, then your thinking will not be broad.
• When you learn and absorb the relevant knowledge of “Entropy Increase Theory”, your thinking will have certain “materials” and sources, and it will have a certain breadth. The more theoretical knowledge you have, the more thorough your thinking will be.

The direction of thinking power: that is, the angle of thinking.

• The direction of thinking depends on the value goal of thinking and the ideas formed around the goal.
• In other words, thinking must be purposeful, and aimless thinking is difficult to produce strong thinking.
• In the previous example, the application of the entropy theory is the direction of thinking, and the conclusion is the value goal of thinking.
• If you just think about “entropy increasing theory”, you will not be able to achieve anything.

The point of action of thinking power: that is, the entry point of thinking

• Thinking must find the right point of action – thinking activities must be focused on a specific thinking object and the key to it must be grasped.
• Continuing the above example, think about “how to use entropy theory”. The role lies in the origin, development and extension of the field of management, as well as the case of how Huawei uses entropy theory to improve management. After understanding these role points, You can find the key.
• When thinking has an effect, thinking activities will be overwhelming.
• If you cannot find the focus of your thinking, your energy will be scattered, your thinking will be disordered, and you will have random thoughts and sticks here and there. Your thinking will stay on the surface of things, and you will be unable to deeply understand and grasp the essence of things.

How to Improve Your Thinking Power?

Active learning to increase the breadth and depth of information (knowledge)

• For our brains, learning is the input and storage of knowledge, and thinking is integration and output. Without learning, thinking becomes a rootless tree with no focus. Without thinking, knowledge is just knowledge.
• Therefore, we need to constantly learn and accept new knowledge and experiences, deepen our knowledge treasure house, and enrich our spiritual world.
• There are many ways to learn, such as reading, experiencing something, summarizing other people’s experiences, communicating with outstanding people, etc.

Apply what you learn and think more about the connections between knowledge and things

• When we solve a problem, we usually find one solution and usually don’t look for a second one.
• But if you want to improve your thinking ability, you need to think more about solutions to problems. If you can find three, then you must think about the fourth.
• Only by thinking in this way can you step out of your comfort zone, find impossible solutions, and exercise your thinking ability.
• Misunderstandings about thinking. Many people mistakenly believe that as long as they think more, they can improve their ability.
• The improvement of thinking ability is not a linear change, nor does it mean that the more time you spend thinking, the better. The improvement of thinking ability is a step change. It takes time and steps up. This step is to leave the comfort zone and force your brain to think about impossible problems to improve your brain’s thinking ability.
• Therefore, thinking diligently means adding difficulty to your brain, rather than drawing circles on one level.

Strengthen the thinking process through output

• Learning is input, and the thinking process is output. Therefore, output must be performed frequently to strengthen and train the thinking process.
• There are many ways to output, including writing articles, sharing speeches, or exchanging your opinions with others.
• My suggestion is to stick to daily writing output.
• Writing is equal to organizing one’s thinking. Spending time constructing an article so that others can understand it is training one’s thinking and organizational skills.
• An article needs to clearly explain a point of view to the reader. The process of writing an article needs to integrate knowledge materials to develop arguments and express them through accurate language.

Be nonjudgmental and ask why

• When encountering problems in daily life, you must first clarify your position. The fundamental starting point for thinking about problems is to think about the matter, not the person, pursue the basic laws of the matter itself, and not mix personal unfair opinions and positions in the thinking process. etc., which will ultimately affect the thinking about the thing itself.
• Secondly, whenever we encounter a problem, we always ask why. Try to develop questions around the problem, and through constant questioning, approach the truth step by step.
• Furthermore, after asking why, you must act quickly. If you know why, you need to take a step closer to solve the problem quickly. You must not only recognize the problem but also solve the problem.
