When we want to think about a problem and then express it, we usually do so (of course, there are better ways, here is just one example). 1, brainstorming (divergence), think out all the knowledge you can think about this matter. 2. Quickly select useful materials from the materials just thought out. 3. Combine the selected materials into a language with complete meaning (concise). 4. say it. This process may last for several days when you are preparing your speech, and it may take less than 1 second when you are talking to others. (The brain is amazing)
Let's talk about training methods. The best and simplest way to train divergent thinking (that is, imagination and creativity) is "association training". For example, think of "frog" as "Mars". Demonstration 1: Frogs think of big eyes, big eyes think of aliens, aliens and aliens think of Mars together, think of Mars. Demonstration 2: Frogs think of ponds, ponds think of clear water, water thinks of instruments for purifying water, purification instruments think of technology, technology thinks of science fiction movies, science fiction movies think of the universe, and the universe thinks of the solar system and Mars. ...
The demo 1 is short, and the demo 2 is long. The effect to be achieved in concrete practice is: short is short by 0. 1 second. It's always a long story. It's always related to this. It is related to thinking for half an hour. Whenever you want to talk about Mars, you can talk about it. Anyway, A and B are related, so you can choose by yourself, not necessarily frogs and Mars. If you are not proficient at first, you can write it on a piece of paper, such as: frog-big eyes-baby-birth-human-creature-alien creature-alien creature of Mars-Mars. Practice in your head when you are skilled. Basically, you can complete a divergent thinking in 1~3 seconds (very simple, you can reach this level in one week).
After divergence, let's talk about "integration" (that is, conciseness or generalization ... anything). There are three directions of integration, namely, depth, breadth and height (three dimensions).
1, depth, is something related to the essence of things. Take "pencil" as an example: the essence of pencil is wood and lead, and there are also some manufacturing processes, functions, ways of use, etc ... These are considered as "depth" categories.
2, breadth, is parallel to the discussion subject (similar) some comparable examples. Keep saying "pencil". Similar to pencils are pens, ballpoint pens, fountain pens and writing brushes. When discussing pencils, we can compare them with the same level and judge the advantages and disadvantages.
3, height, height is a higher-level perspective of a big classification (for example, men and women are higher-level humans, humans and other wild animals make up animals, and animals and plants make up organisms. Then when you want to discuss men to a certain height, you can discuss them from the perspective of "people" or "animals" or "creatures" or even "the universe". ) Continue to talk about pencils, discuss pencils, and improve the height. Let's discuss it from the perspective of the development of social civilization. What is the influence of pencil on writing, writing and cultural exchange, advantages and disadvantages, etc. ...
Basically, when you discuss a problem, you analyze and state it from these three aspects. This is a very "comprehensive" discussion.
After talking about the above three directions, we can rely on these three directions when integrating, specifically: 1, thinking storm has found out a lot of knowledge. 2, the classification of knowledge, about the nature of things into the deep category (to be used), about the similar can be used as an example into the wide category (to be used), about the influence and significance of things on social countries, human nature and so on into the high category (to be used). Useless bad knowledge will be eliminated. 3, the specific use, when you discuss a certain degree of this thing (deep or wide or high), go directly to the knowledge base that has just been sorted out, and then express it, it will be OK.
In fact, the exercise of thinking is definitely not done overnight, but fortunately, the exercise process will not be difficult and boring. As long as you master the method and treat everything big and small as an opportunity for your own exercise, your growth is very rapid and obvious. Basically, a person with normal IQ can finish what I said in my head in a few seconds within half a year through hard training. )
