Let's We Start Summaries:

Do you remember your answers? Do you have any other answer coming in your mind? Let us know what are the correct answers according to United Nations Statistics,

The answer to the first question is Option C. In the last two decades, the number of people living in extreme poverty has decreased by almost half.

The answer to the second question is, Option C. 80% of children under one year of age have already been vaccinated.

The answer to the third question is option C. Today 80% of the people in the world can use electricity.

How many of your answers turned out to be correct? Are all your answers wrong? Hans Rossling often starts his lectures with a similar test.

At the beginning of his career, Hans used to get very frustrated about how wrong the attitude of people looking at the world is. He was angry and angry that how the media shows poverty and violence by making it worse.

That is why Hans Rossling made it his life's mission to change and update the way people see the world. He founded Gapminder with the help of his children, Ola and Ana. This is an organization that shows data in our lives. Gapminder makes graph and analysis even more fun and effective.

In this book, you will know the three instincts that we humans have. Which are - Gap Instinct, Negativity Instinct, and Straight Line Instinct (Gap Instinct, Negativity Instinct and Straight-Line Instinct) These three instincts blur our worldview.

Let's discuss them one by one.

Gap instinct:

What does Gap Instinct mean? It is our great misconception that the world is divided into two parts - "developing and developed countries", "Western or West countries and the rest of the countries", rich countries and poor countries ". Nothing like that. There is no difference or difference. The world has changed in the last few decades and we should also update the way we think about our world.

Let's take a look at developing and developed countries. Imagine a graph in which many circles are made. Each circle represents a country. The size of the circle shows the population of the country. On the left side of the graph, you can see two big circles which are India and China.

On the y-axis, it shows the percentage of children who remain alive from 0 to 5 years of age, and on the x-axis, it shows the average number of children how many children are there from a woman. As you can see the mark on the y-axis is written with 50% at the bottom and 100% at the top. And on the x-axis, you can see marks made from 8 children to 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1.

Now, imagine that you can clearly see two parts. Suppose a part on the left side of the graph in which these developing countries, India and China are there. It shows that only 70% to 80% of children up to the age of 5 years are able to survive and it also shows that a woman has an average of 5 to 7 children.

Whereas, developed countries like America and Europe are shown on the right side of the graph. Here 90% to 100% of children up to 5 years of age live. And here a woman has only 2 to 3 children against her average.

what does this mean? This graph shows that there is clearly a gap between developing and developed countries.

The data shown in this graph is data taken from the time of 1965. It shows what the world was like in 1965, which was 5 decades ago.

Why did Hans Rossling choose the subject of child survival only to study our thinking about the world? This is because society contributes to raising and raising a child. If all the children above the age of 5 years are alive in a community, it means that there is clear water and there is plenty of food and medicines available easily. There are educated and there are medicines to prevent pregnancy.

Come, let's look at the updated graph. The graph shows the state of the world in 2017 when Hans Rossling wrote this book. Again, listen carefully.

In 2017, almost most countries have come to the right side of the graph. Suppose they have gone to the top corner on the right side of the graph. On the left side, in which we had kept developing countries, now only a few countries are left there. Most countries are now being counted among developed countries.

This simply means that that data is now outdated. They are already wrong. We should not use them now. For example, in India, 95% of children up to the age of 5 remain alive. And a woman has an average of 2 to 3 children. This is the data of 2017 and now India is already well included in the list of developed countries. It is at the top right corner of the graph.

So, if these "rich and poor", West's country and the rest of the country labels are already wrong, should we use them now? What should we use to study it properly? What should we use to help more people and provide them with adequate food, clean water, education and health care?

Hans has suggested this: The Four Income Levels

The world population is currently 7.6 billion. So, imagine a picture of a figure like 7 humans and they look like pieces of chess. Each figure shows 1 billion people.

The concept of four levels starts from here.

There are one billion people in Level-1 income. Here only one piece of chess. The daily budget of the families in Level-1 is one dollar per day. There are a total of five children in the family. The father is a farmer and the mother is a housewife. There is no facility for tap water here.

Children have to walk barefoot and fetch water from a well far away. They also collect wood and collect food so that they can be burnt and cooked. Mother cooks porridge for the whole family. They eat just this porridge every day at all times.

Whenever a storm comes, all the crops will be destroyed and the family will have no income. That 6-year-old little girl will die because there is no medicine for her cough and phlegm. All the children are malnourished, they are not getting enough and good food. Their lungs have become weak due to cooking in the fire inside the house.

This is a condition of extreme poverty. This is level-1. Statistics data shows that around 1 billion people in the world are living in this way.

There are about 3 billion people with level 2 income. Their daily budget is 4 dollars. These people can buy eggs and rice. Such families do not have to grow crops to eat. The father can have a bike motorcycle which he uses to go to his work.

But still, they do not have any facility for tap water. Yes, but there is definitely a well within a short distance. Children have slippers to wear on their feet. The mother uses a gas stove to cook. There is also a light bulb inside the house so that children can do their homework.

The father saves money so that he can buy a mat, carriage or mattress for his entire family to sleep. Life is better But when one of the children becomes ill, the mother has to borrow money or the father has to sell his motorcycle.

There are about 2 billion people with level 3 income. Today, 2 billion people around the world are living their lives on a daily budget of $ 16. Wow, that's a great improvement. After all, there is tap water and reliable electricity. Such families have a fridge in which they can keep their food and can also eat different dishes.

He also has a motorcycle which his mother uses to take two children to school. Both the parents have good salary jobs and they save their children for college studies. If someone falls ill in the family, they can use their savings to pay medical bills. Or if it does not, then the whole family can go for a walk on the beach or somewhere on the last holiday of the week.

At Level-4, there are 1 billion people. These people live on a daily budget of $ 64. The living of these families is very good. They have a car. There are many types of appliances and accessories in their home. Parents have very high salary jobs and children go to private schools. These people cannot even think of living on a budget of 1 dollar a day.

What level does your family come from? Is this level 1, 2, 3, or 4? Again, remember that there is no . You have to change your gap instinct. Today, most of the world's population lives in level-2 and level-3 income. Only 1 billion people live in a state of extreme poverty. And only 1 billion people are very rich too. Most of us are in the middle.

Even within a country or a state, there are families with Level 1, 2, 3, or 4, income. Therefore, there is no such thing as "he" and "we". Most people can now afford full food, health care and education. Now, most of the population has access to electricity and clean water. Don't you think the world is becoming a safer and better place?

negativity instinct:

If these statics do not convince you, then here are some more good information. Let us move on to the next Instinct of our list - The negativity Instinct.

This directly means that people notice more negative things than positive ones. We always feel that the world is getting worse. We like to see bad more than good. It is more fun for us to talk about negative things than positive things. That is why all the evening news is about crimes and any crisis or deficiency.

Okay. Let's talk honestly. Animals are in greater danger. The snow is melting Our seas will rise about three feet and up by the next evening. Overfishing and pollution are spoiling our seas.

The decline of the US stock market in 2007 was shocking. Many people had to lose their jobs, their money, their homes. But the system did not change and the same problem can happen again.

We should not forget terrorism and border or border or border tension.

Take a deep breath. Breathe in and release out. Hans says that if we do something right now, if we use the right and accurate data, and if different countries work together, then we get peace, prosperity, and a clean environment in our time.

Imagine a world where no child dies of malaria, where there are no suicide bombers, where no safe place is made for wild animals. Isn't that what we all want?

Let's look at our statics. People from 30 countries are asked the question "What do you think the world is getting worse, getting better, or just like that?"

More than 50% of the people responded that the world is getting worse.

55% of Japanese say that the world is getting worse. 60% of British also say the same, while 90% of the people of Turkey believe that the world has never been worse than this before.

Well, our job here is to think about positive things. So, then let's use statics to clear the misconception that the world is getting worse day by day. Let's talk about poverty again.

Keep in mind that all the graphs that Hans has shown are on the basis of United Nations data and you can see them for free by visiting the official website of the United Nations.

We have already said that the number of people living in poverty is almost half in the world today.

What evidence do we have of this? In the year 1800, 85% of the world's population had an income level-1. Most of the people were hungry. There was not enough food to eat. In the United Kingdom, children had to work so that they could get money to eat. British children start working at the age of 10 on average.

And yes, in 1800, 20% of the Swedish population, including Hans's relatives, moved to the United States in the hope of a better life. Most of them never returned to Sweden again.

Imagine a graph again. There is a percentage of people living in extreme poverty on the y-axis. So, you will see that there are marks from 0% to 50%, to 100%. And on the x-axis, you will see the year. Years on the x-axis begin at 1800, and then 1850, then 1900, and 2000.

You will see on the graph, that from 1800 to 1966, the number of people living in extreme poverty is gradually decreasing. Let's repeat it again. In the year 1800, the number of people living in very poverty has come down from 85% to only 50% by the year 1966.

Now, in 1966, a huge change took place. The world war is over. It is a time or period of a long piece. Now listen to it carefully, since 1966, the rate of very poor poverty has come down to only 9% in 2017.

This means that as of 2017, only 9% of the world's population is living on a $ 1 budget every day. The best thing is that poverty has come down very fast in the last 20 years. It has decreased faster than any time in history.

Let us look at it carefully. In 1997, in both India and China, 42% of the population there was in very poverty. But as of 2017, only 12% of Indians are very poor. This means that from 1997 to 2017, 270 million people have reached Level-2 or Level-3.

And in China, a lot of poverty has come down to 0.7% in 2017. This means that one billion Chinese people have come out of the conditions of extreme poverty.

How old were you in 1997? Have you noticed the change in the lifestyle of your family? Hans says we should celebrate. We should be happy because in just two decades 29% of the world's population has got rid of too much poverty.

Today is a good chance for you to smile and stay positive.

Straight-line instinct:

Now, let's move on to the last biggest misconception or misconception on our list - The Straight-Line Instinct. It is believed that the world's population will always just grow. With the passage of time more children will be born and after all this earth will not be able to meet our needs.

Do you remember the story of Lord Krishna? The same story in which they ask for twice as much rice as they cross every square in the chessboard? On the first square, he asked for a grain of rice. On the other, Lord Krishna already had two grains. On the third one, he already had three grains.

With each crossing square, the number of grains of rice doubles. So, similarly, they have 8, then 16, then 32, then 64 grains. On the last square of the chessboard, Lord Krishna found 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 grains of rice.

This is what the straight-line instinct means. We think that the number on the graph will also increase in a similar way.

Okay, let's test your knowledge once again. Answer this question. According to the statistics of the United Nations, there are 2 billion children living in the world today. Their age is between 0 and 15.

How many children will be here by the year 2100?

Is it A. 4 billion? B. 3 billion? Or C. 2 billion?

If we draw it on a graph, Option A. 4 billion is a straight line going up. Whereas in the meantime, for option C. 2 billion, the line is going up and then going to a point, a flat line is being formed.

What is your answer?

Perhaps you would have given your answer to option A. 4 billion, just like the social science teachers who ask at Hans conference. Meanwhile, 26% of World Economic Forum experts gave their answer as option C. 2 million.

Let us once again look at the graph of the United Nations to reveal the correct answer. It shows the population of children between 0 and 14 years of age in the world. It also shows the estimate for the future of the UN.

On the y-axis in the graph, you can see that 0 to 1 billion, 2 billion, 3 billion, 4 billion. And on the x-axis, you can see years from 1950, 2000, 2050, and then 2100.

The correct answer is Option C. By the year 2100, there will be 2 billion children between the ages of 0 to 14 years in the world. Just as many as today. The correct graph is not a straight line.

Between 2000 and 2010, the rate of increase stopped. As we were saying this is already happening. The world's population will not continue to grow forever. With the passage of years, the number of children born will not double.

The United Nations has stated its estimate that by the year 2100, the world population will remain 10 billion to 12 billion and will remain the same in the future. Experts call this trend "flattening of the curve".

Why is this happening? This is happening because, today, people are more educated. We have gone from farming to the digital age, so families no longer need many children to help in farming. There are better health care facilities so the death rate of children is low. Parents do not need more children.

Today, we have more access to ways to stop sex education and pregnancy. Parents want fewer children so that they can provide better education and good care to the children. Family planning is done to ensure that the children are healthy and well educated.

In this way, the straight-line instinct is incorrect:

In 1965, a woman averaged 5 children. But in 2017, this rate came down to one child only. The UN has speculated that till the year 2100 and after that, it will remain the same.

If we continue to educate our children, if we improve health care and family planning, then the UN's estimate will be correct. Every parent wants to give their children a better happy life, right?

In this way, we can maintain our civilization on this planet. We will not have to run to Mars-like science fiction films.

Conclusion:

In this book, you learned about three major misconceptions or misconceptions. These are called gap instinct, negativity instinct, and straight-line instinct.

You know that the world is not divided into two parts. There are no rich and poor countries here. Labels with a developing and developed world are outdated. You also have to change your perspective to see and understand the world.

If you have a passion and positive attitude, you can take your family from level-1 income to level-2, level-3, and even level-4.

You also learned that you should not be negative. The headlines that you see in the news are shown to be very exaggerated. Poverty in the world is less and crime is also less.

As a new generation, we have the power to make the world a safer and better place.

If we are more understanding about the beliefs of all the people i.e. the bailiff system, if we choose to be more compassionate with each other, if we choose to take more care of our environment, then only our children will be in peace and a good environment Will be able to enjoy

In this book, you also learned about straight-line instincts. The population of the world will not always increase. We have reached the flatline where the number of children born remains the same every year. By the year 2075, there will be 11 billion people and if we choose the right decision then this number will stop there.

Now that you have all this information, what will you do with it? Whatever career you are making now, you can contribute to the change that we want to see happening in the world. Whether you are a teacher, doctor, engineer, programmer, carpenter or whatever work you do, you can do anything.

Over time you too will become a parent. You can create the future you want for your children. Think about it

You can also watch Hans' TED talk video on YouTube. He is a very funny and good teacher. Like his organization gapminder, Hans makes the information more exciting and interesting.

Hans died in 2017 due to ill health. But he is changing the world with this small effort and you can do the same.

Let's Start Summary:

introduction:

Do you want to know how high-level managers and CEOs maintain their high performance? There is a difference between Achievers and High Performers. Achievers work hard to get success. They have to accept a lot of challenges and they keep doing it. But there also comes a point when Achievers lose Momentum. His career comes to a halt at one place, all his anthropomorphism starts over. The problem is that they achieve success but cannot sustain it because they do not have any principal who can guide them to higher goals. But high performers handle all this and can do everything that achievers do rather than them.

Not only this, high performers maintain their excellent performance and that too without compromising their happiness and well-being. So what will you do if you want to become a high performer? How do you handle the demands and perks of long term success? Yes, its secret is to learn high-performance habits. Brendon Burchard has been coaching high performance for many years. He has studied them closely, in this field he has also done intensive research and many interviews. Brendan saw that there are six main habits defining high performers and he wants to share the same with his readers through this book. You will also learn these high-performance habits and practice them best to achieve them irrespective of your background. At this moment, you are entitled to become Extraordinary.

Habit 1: Seek clarity

Clarity's meaning is that you should know who you are and what your goals are. You will find these questions very basic, but it puts a great impact on your life. Being clear about yourself means that you are aware of your strength or weekends. And when you are clear about yourself, then you know very well whether it is valuable for you. Knowing yourself well increases self-esteem. To become a high performer, you will have to start with self-awareness. Keep clarity in your identity, your values, your good traitors and bed treaters all because it is the key to a positive outlook in life.

Now the next thing that you have to do is to identify your goals. These should be clear in your mind. The most important thing is that your goals should be challenging. Because challenging goals will bring more energy, employment and determination to your work. How many times has this happened to you that when you have had frustration at work and you have felt disconnected yourself? Or have I reminded myself who I am and what my goals are? What you can do about it is "Envision the future four".

What is the future four?

This is your victory for your future self, social interaction, service and skills. So let's talk about your future self first. There is a famous saying "No Dai'self". More than this, high performers can imagine themselves. If someone asks you "Where would you like to see yourself 10 years from now?" Do you have an answer to this question? But high performers can easily and confidently answer this question because they know clearly what they want to become. They have a well-thought idea for their future self and they are also working for it. Nest cheese is social interaction in Future Four.

High performers have high social intelligence and situational awareness. This means that when they interact with each other, there is clarity in them. They know their position clearly and also how to deal with the front. Just remember your last phone call, do you think you spoke to the person in the right tone? Now remember your last conflict with someone, did you think about your values ​​then? Did you affirm during the Conversation that you became a Batter Lysner? There is a clear focus on whatever high performers do.

He wants to give positive emotions and always wants to be a good example for others. Before any communication, they make sure in which tone they will talk with others. And they also try to know how to help others. Next Lines is about future skills. The vision of high performers is clear which skill they have to develop. These people take their hobbies irresistibly. When they think of learning a skill, they trend themselves into it and become the master of that skill. High performers are not "scattershot learners". They never do such a thing that they go out to learn one skill and leave it and run after the other.

They achieve excellence in what they learn. High performers plan well for whatever skill they want to learn. He will never become an average learner because he has to become a specialist. For example, if a high performer has an interest in music, then everyone will focus on a single instrument instead of trying an instrument. For this, they will go to an expert teacher and practice hard.

Service is the last in the Future Four. Sometimes when you feel unmotivated and uninspired in a workplace, it is because of your lack of sense of service. In your daily task, you sometimes become so busy that you do not even remember what you are doing and what you are doing. For example, suppose you are a manager and you work far away from customers. So the people you are serving should visit them occasionally. You should listen to them and try to know how you can give them better service. High performers are concerts for others and the future. And this is the reason that they constantly give their best in the present.

Habit 2: Generate energy

Energy is not limited to the physical level for high performers. He maintains an active body but knows the positive emotions and the import of mental alteration. High performers generate energy in a holistic way. They want to be physically, mentally and emotionally fit so that they can take many responses. When your energy is low, it affects your whole lifestyle, you feel down, you are unable to compete with the challenges. You feel like life is just getting cut off. If your energy is low then people will not trust you, you will not get their support and no one will buy anything from you nor follow you.

Brendan Burchard found in his research that senior executives and CEOs are always full of high energy. In any company, the energy level of these people is the highest so that they can be compared to any pro athlete. High energy fills humans with even more happiness and spaces, such as CEO and quarterbacks. You can also achieve this in your life. Imagine a power plant that performs energy transforms. You should also be like a power plant, you can also generate more energy. Do not wait for someone else in your life for joy, excitement, motivation and love, all these positive emotions start from you. It is possible that you can generate high energy whenever you want.

And to do this, you can follow the given steps. The first wall is "release tension, set intensity". Brendan Burchard has coached many high performers. He has worked closely with them. He observed that the poor transition is the reason for the low energy of the CEO and the rest of the high performers. What is Transition? This happens when you change from one task to another. The time you get out of bed is the transition because you shift from sleep mode to work mode. You take a bath, get ready. Perhaps you have to prepare your children for school too. Then you reach the office by public transport. All these works are also transitions. While working at your desk, you go to attend the meeting. This is another transition.

When you return home and spend time with your family, then you are shifted from the role of an employee to the role of dad or wax. Think of all the transitions that you do throughout the day. Now imagine that in a meeting you got conflated with your boss or your colleague. After which you have to come to your desk and do more paperwork. You may pass your negative energy on your next task and if you do not take a break, you will feel the worst. In this round, you will lose your presence of mind, then when you return home, you will be so tired that you will not feel like spending time with them. Therefore, if all this does not happen to you, you will have to release your tension.

Rest a bit before moving to your next task. You can close your eyes and try to be relaxed. Take a deep breath. Once this tension is released, you can set the tension. Think about the tasks you have to do next. What do you want to achieve? How can you do this positive? The next step to generate energy is "Bring the Joy". Positive emotions like Joy can change a lot in your life. Research has shown that Joy is an indicator of high performance. People who have positive emotion maintenance are healthy. Their relationships are also better and their income too. People who bring joy in their performance, perform better.

Such people, along with being more vibrational, also help others. Neuroscientists have discovered that Joey and the rest of the positive emotions develop new cells very quickly. On the other hand, negative emotions start destroying our sales. It is not that high performers do not feel negative emotions. They also feel sedated, they also get tired. But the difference is that they bounce back quickly from the rest. They have the ability to cope up with negative energy. They can direct their thoughts and return to a positive state.

Habit 3: Res necessity:

Raise necessity means always feel the need to take action. You have to wake up every morning, you have to fulfil all your responses. You have to perform your best. When you raise necessity, you do not wish for the best or things to be better. You just have to act. You have the need to do something. Necessity forces you to move forward. If you do not do this then you will feel that you feel yourself down. You will feel that you are not running according to your standard, you are not able to perform your duties. So, therefore, ionicity is a strong motivation. It creates an emergency in you.

Brendan Burchard often asks high performers the question "Why do you work so hard?" How do you stay so focused and committed? Brendan always gets a bean answer on this. High performers tell them that it is a part of their personalities. Because they cannot think of anything different from this. They feel as if they are made for this. There is anxiety in his action and he has to act immediately because people are expecting him. They do not want to miss any opportunity because they do not want to regress later for the things that they have missed. So what are the practices that you can follow to raise necessity?

The first practice is "no who needs your game". High performers always ask themselves if they are doing their best task. If you are in your A-game, no matter how basic the task is, you will give your A only. Brendan Burchard teaches this technique to his clients. It is called "Desk Trigger". Whenever you sit at your desk to work, ask yourself a question "Who is my most sleepy in my A-Game right now"? This is a simple technique but it will keep reminding you to perform the batter because people have an expectation from you. The second practice that you can apply is the meaning of "affirm the why" affirm, declare with confidence. "Why" refers to the goals and purpose that are behind your action.

There is always a clear purpose behind every work of high performers, which they also do proudly declare. If you know someone who is very athletic, then notice how happy they are by discus- ing their workout routine. They enjoy a lot what they do and that's why they always act. Although high performers are always confident about their goals, they do not declare that they are right because they are also open to low new approvals who can improve their performance.

The third practice of raising necessity is "Level Up Your Squad". This is one of the most important pieces of advice that Brendanon Burchard offers to his clients. For high performance, you have to be between positive and successful people because this will become your squad. So spend time with them, communicate with them so that you can pick up high performance. Those who give you negative emotions, stay away from them, you can level up your squad by meeting such new and interesting people who have more experience than you.

Habit 4: Increase productivity:

Have you ever felt that you are very busy with your work, yet you are not able to progress? The reason may be that what you are doing may not match your personality, that is, your work is not in line with what you are, which is not your ability, yet you are busy doing it. Are you sick due to too much work? It is possible that you take care of your health and well-being and remain productive as well. Many high performers can provide this. Despite doing hard work, they do not feel stressed. Because they see their happiness and fullness in their responses.

There are many ways by which you can keep yourself productive as well as take care of your loved ones. And this is what you are going to learn from this chapter. For this, you do not have to be superhuman or over-caffeinated. Just follow this practice. The first one is "Increase the outputs that matter". Do you always organize your emails during your work? Studies have proved that people waste 28% of their office hours only in sorting out their emails. Using the search function is more efficient than creating subfolders.

Managing your emails is not really really work. Nor is it any productive work to clear up your files or to attend a meeting or help in a false emergency of a colleague. All you have to focus on is the “Prooflik Quality Output” or PQO making. Prolific quality output is the best output that you can produce in your work. Find out what your PQO is, then put all your attention and efforts into it. Consistency with your PQO will make you very productive. If a task is not part of your PQO, then the batter will leave it.

People will know and remember you through your prolific quality output. Beethoven and Mozart are famous for their exceptional compositions. The Beatles released the Great Songs album one after the other. There are more exams here. If you are a blogger then your PQO will be content. You have to focus more on your writing and give more value. If you are going to sell some cups of cakes, you can choose to bake two bestsellers and bake them and sell them in more quantity. Steve Jobs also had to drop some of his Apple products so that he could focus on his best products. So you too can find your own PQO and then devote all your energy to creating it and improving it.

So are you of the type who makes plans before any move? Or the type that just starts? If you are starting a business, then your talent will be enough to run it, but as your business grows, it will become a little difficult to handle things. Because you will be lost in many tasks. So it is important to "chart your five moves". This is the second practice of increasing productivity. You can start by just trusting your ability without making any plans, but it will only work up to a point. When the time of competition comes or when you get the task, then your performance will start failing. What is your biggest goal?

You have to go through many challenges, so you need a strategy, you have to do step by step plan. "To Be a High Performer Requires Thinking More Before Acting" What is your ambition? What do you want from life What is your greatest dream? Clear all this in your mind. Once you clear, you can start "Chart Your Five Moves" Think about five major moves that will take you to your goals. Next, you have to break these five big moves into smaller activities and deadlines, then you can chart them in the calendar. "Chart your five moves" is a thing of your work, whatever your job or career.

Habit 5: Development influence:

Have you ever felt that you inflame people? Can you convince them of your talk? Will people follow you? Influence is the ability when "you shave the other's billboards and behaviour according to your needs". It doesn't matter what your own personalities are. Even if you are introverted, you can still influence others. Perhaps you would think that influencing someone is absolutely impossible but perhaps you have forgotten to ask. There are also people who want to help you, but the fear of rejections or judgments stops you from taking the help. So unless you ask yourself something about the worker, how do you know how influential you are?

See "You Never Know Any You Ask" by requesting your child, partner, friend or boss. If you fail the first time, do not give up, do not give up trying. Gradually, you will be a batter in the conversation and people will get a chance to understand your ideas. There are some other practices from which influenza can develop. The first practice is to teach people how to think "how to think" that they have a 7-year-old son. He is doing his math homework. You see that he is getting frustrated while doing homework. He comes and speaks to you, "I hate maths". What would be your reaction then?

You can influence his thinking for math so that he can improve it and enjoy it. Because you have the opportunity to direct maths to make math a fun subject for him. Brandon Burchard advises his high-level clients to communicate with their logo because they have the ability to direct the thinking of their employees. Leaders should also direct their employees' thoughts regarding competitors and market places. The same thing separates high performing managers from the rest of the people. They influence their under-workers to think of something big.

Imagine if you are such a manager, then you have to tell your team "If we want to be the best, then we have to think about ourselves .... Think about our competitors...... Think about your future and the world like this. … ”Another practice that develops influencers is to challenge people to grow. This will probably be the most difficult practice of this book that you are going to learn and also very difficult in implementation. When you challenge people, they may come into defensive mode and start saying, "Go do your job". Because they already tell them that their intention is only to help, not to offer. While doing this, they keep their tone polite.

So why do high performers do this? Why do they challenge people to grow? Kobe Bryant once said that "the most important thing is to inspire and try to get people to do what they want to do," high performers also want to anchor others for high performance. They give him a challenge along with the owner and respect. And also do not forget to tell the senior purpose to help them. In this way, this challenge turns into inspiration.

Habit 6: Demonstrate Courage

Courage does not just mean saving humanity. The real meaning is to bring change. You do not need to do some groundbreaking to show your debt, but small deeds can also put a huge impact. Mark Twain once said "Courage is not fearlessness, the real meaning is to take action despite your fear and stay on it" What practice would you choose to do your debt show? The first one may be that your own Struggle. Today in society, we need everything in an easy way. Today we use such technologies, which has reduced our hard work significantly. By the way, it is a blessing for us as well as a curse.

And the problem is that today's generation wants to avoid as much struggle as possible. The one who is easy and convenient nowadays. Now Persistent, Difficulty and Efforts are things of the past. Today it has become acceptable if someone quits the school due to small difficulty or quits the friendship, job or marriage. But this way of living is making us week, weakening us to withstand the real throats. We have to face the challenges of life to become a stranger. To make our character strong, if we expose the struggles, it is better. We must remember that there is an owner in Struggle, it is a matter of respect if we have done Struggle Face. Those who do hard work have a character build, and no one can become a great leader without a struggle.

The next practice that demarcates debt is to share your truth and ambition. A person aspires to be free. We want to show our own real self, we want to share our real experiences. But we fear displacement and rejections. Because in order to express ourselves truthfully, it also requires a debt. You should not think about appointing others. All you have to do is match your standard. Follow the path of your truth. Keep sharing your ambitions. High performers can never be discouraged by the criticism of the Israeli people.

Conclusion:

You learned the Six Habits of High Performance, with the help of which high-performance performers carry out the task in their own hands. You can also learn those practices to achieve these habits. When you practice a practice continuously, it becomes your habit, so apply this practice in your life. You can start slowly and once you are used to it, you can see the improvement yourself. Among them, the first three Habits are more above the person whereas the other three Habits will also improve your social skills.

Let's review these six habits that you have learned here. First Habit is "Seek Clarity" Under this you can imagine Future Four which is self, social, skills and service. The second Habit The best practice of generating energy and achieving it is to release tension, set the focus and bring joy. The third habit is cause necessity. You learned how to find out "Who Needs You a Game", Affirm the Way and Level Up Your Squad. The fourth Habit is incremental productivity under which there is a practice of increasing output which makes your five moves matter and chart. The fifth Habit is to develop Influence. You learned how to teach people, how to challenge them to grow.

Final Six is ​​the debit of debt. And for its practice, you will have to reset your struggle and share your truth and ambition with the rest of the people. Virgil has a quote "The Are Able, Who Think The Are Able" You now know that it is possible to perform like a CEO and Extraordinary Leader. Because there are Habits and Practices with which you can do it. If you are a high performer yourself, then you have to learn how to improve and maintain your success. This book gives you this possibility. Now it is in your hands to take action on this.

If you are an artist or a 9-5 working employee, then you have a chance to earn a profitable profit and become a boss. Anyone can run a business. Rework makes it simple and easy for you.

Who should read this book:

Owners, artists, regular employees of small business who want to become businessmen

About author:

David Hennimier Hanson and Jason Fried are programmers and co-founders of software company Basecamp. Hanson works as CTO while Fried is CEO. They have written four books together, including Rework. Fried is also a content writer while Hanson is a race car driver.

Let's We Start Summary:

introduction:

• Have you ever had a good business idea but were hesitant to implement it?
• Were you afraid of the lack of knowledge and how much time you will have to spend in this new business?
• Did you get motivated when you came to know that you have the strength to do a lot of competition? 

Guess what, every person who comes up with a business idea has to face it. Jason Fried and David Heinemeyer had a good idea. And they were not afraid to implement it. And what they learned from their experience is a bit surprising - you don't have to be afraid of long hours, business meetings and other boring work.

As you will see in this (summary), you do not need to find investors and partners (at least not initially). quite the contrary. According to Fried and Heinemeyer, these kinds of things actually hinder your chances of succeeding in your business. And these two people are not random people who have decided to write a book and earn money. He proved his reputations a few years ago when he created Ruby on Rails, a well-known programming language. You may have never heard of it,

But some very popular apps and sites like Shopify and Twitter would probably not exist today if it were not a programming language. Do you want to know what the writers of REWORK learned from creating a multi-million company? So sticking with this book, we will tell you about the important idea. Your idea should be related to something for which you will fight, especially, do not start a business only because you want to make a lot of money. Sure, sometimes this greedy attitude also leads to success, but many times it hurts. This is because if you only pay attention to money, then you will sometimes be careless about the important tasks around your company in order to save more money. And this negligence will cause a lot of damage (from every angle) in the long run.

Suppose you started a small company that builds applications. You have only a few employees, but, of course, you want to increase it somewhere in the future. Now, if your focus is just to make money, then you will start spreading it from the beginning and hire more and more employees. Many times, this means that you will pay very little salary. And guess what happens when people take less money for their work? You are right, they will work less, it is so simple. On the other hand, you can adopt a different vision. Instead of just focusing on the money, you can say something like this: “Wait a minute.

My company has a product. I want this product to be the best. Money is only a byproduct of my company's quality. If building good applications means I owe more money to my employee, then I will. ”This is, of course, one of many examples. You can apply this type of thinking in all areas of business: pharmaceuticals, gaming and programming, design… there are countless options. We do not want to say that money is not a motivator. But money is not the most important thing. Do you think Bill Gates wanted to be the richest man in the world even when he started his own business? Probably not.

He was simply a young programmer who loved to do and wanted to produce the best product. And after some 30 years, leading one of the strongest companies in the world. And with Bill Gates, we come to another important topic. Those who enter the business for profit only, they become very powerful and fancy as soon as they become "successful". Not so with Bill Gates. You won't see it on the yellow pages of a sensational magazine. He is the same with his children. For example, Bill Gates is very careful about his children's use of technology. He knows how difficult it is to earn money, and he wants to nurture those who know the real things well. And you yourself, if you really want to succeed, should try to do something like this. To conclude, focus on what you love. It is not as complex.

Big corporate marketing is not for small honest companies:

In the first chapter, we said that more important than making money is to create a quality-focused company. Here we will keep going in that direction. If you follow it, the most important advice is "rework"; You can naturally follow this one: Forget about the usual (false) marketing strategies. If you really focus on what you love, if you are really ready to fight for what you have, then you don't need big marketing. Certainly, the growth of your company will probably be a little slow, but you will be able to focus all your attention on the things that matter, not the minor marketing things that everyone focuses on.

Let's start with our own experience. How many times have you seen a TV advertisement that says: "Buy this hair product!" This will make your hair more beautiful than ever! Remember the coworker who ignored you? Now he has to notice you because your hair will be very beautiful and will also smell good. ”Needless to say that we have not tried to be completely realistic, but you are aware of it. When you hear something like this, you immediately know that the advertisement is lying. The whole purpose of advertising and marketing is to pressure you to buy something. End of the story It does not matter that they have to lie to explain it to you.

You do not want to resort to this type of marketing, especially if you are trying to sell something that has some quality. Of course, we do not want to say that you have to ignore marketing altogether. Marketing is important, but it is also not necessary to get caught up in this dishonest game. For example, instead of creating some advertisements that we have all seen more than a thousand times, create something that is most different, something extraordinary. For example, instead of creating some Christmas-themed ads, you can create your own ad in a tropical environment.

In addition, Coca-Cola has already monetized Christmas with countless TV commercials. This means that Christmas advertising for Coca-Cola is profitable, and not for you. Therefore, be simple, and instead of focusing on marketing, try to create a product that is so good that it doesn't even need marketing. We live in a society that works on values. In such a society, it is easy to get completely immersed in work all the time and forget all the other important things in the world.

More importantly, if you force yourself to work for a long time, you will become less productive. Instead, do as much work as you want. Likewise, do not demand others to work long hours. By doing this, your employees will respect you, because they will see that you treat them as human beings, not as cash machines. The people of the west also brag about how much work they do and the past. How many hours has he worked for the week? This is certainly fine, but it does not mean that everyone should be a workaholic.

Workers are particularly concerned about their work. He is also a perfectionist at the same time. It is a deadly combination because it means that nothing can really be done. Let's take a real-life example. Mark was working in an accounting firm. Throughout his life, he had a passion for fulfilling his responsibilities — first at school and now at his job. As a result, he would become extremely restless even at the slightest hint of frying a little work. Whenever he realized that it would take a little longer to finish the work, he was so tense that he ignored everything to complete the work.

He did not do food, sleep and other normal activities. As a result, he was ill for a long time and was not even able to do the work that had been gathered. Mark was also a perfectionist. Nothing was good. He would always find some mistakes that needed fixing. And when that mistake was rectified, he would find another mistake and keep doing so. Needless to say, it was just as stressful for him as others around him who were not perfectionists. Therefore, not only did Mark stop himself, but he also disappointed his colleagues. This does not mean that you should give up all mistakes. But, what is needed is to be considered and not on small mistakes.

Instead of doing this, try to work until it suits you. The most important thing to become a skilled worker is to work continuously for a few hours. When you really focus on something, you don't want to be disturbed by Facebook messages, Instagram posts and other disturbance. But in the world we live in, it is very difficult to separate yourself from such things - this is why you have to work hard for it, especially when you are accustomed to checking your social network every 5 minutes. Have gone

This is probably one of the things that Jason Fried and David Heinemeier emphasized the most — they are programmers, and they couldn't afford that wasteful information wastes their time. If you want to reduce the use of your social media while working, just turn off the phone, or at least turn off the internet. There are other technologies as well - for example, you can place your phone somewhere in the office from where the phone is difficult to use, which is why you will rarely be able to go and pick up the phone. Of course, there are other ways, but find the one that suits you the most.

The next thing that is very bad for productivity is a long, wasteful staff meeting. Fried and Heinemeyer hated this type of meeting, and here's the reason - 10 people attend a meeting that only lasts an hour. This means that 10 hours of focused work has been spent on something other than hard work. Of course, meetings are not always bad - there are some important decisions that cannot be made without organizing a meeting - but you need to be very careful not to take it too far. There are several ways that you can prevent a meeting from getting in the way of productivity - just set a timer at the beginning of the meeting. When the time is up, so will the meeting. simple as that.

In addition, employers usually do not like these meetings for the first time. People who are shy will not like to speak in front of a lot of people because it is not their thing. This is why you should not think that everything is organized during a meeting - face to face interaction with shy people is always better. In such a conversation, he can be put further behind, so that he will probably be able to give better suggestions and ultimately, it will be less stress for him. You need less than you think to start your business

Today's people are very cautious about the future - they do not spend their time and money in such a thing until they are fully convinced that the work will be beneficial for them. This is the reason why many people never develop their business ideas. Today's world teaches you how to prepare everything carefully, plan ahead 10 years, gather investor etc. In "Rework" you will learn that all these are excuses for not starting your business. Suppose you have the idea of ​​opening a Vietnamese restaurant in your own city. You love Vietnamese food and enjoy cooking it and see people returning empty plates. Naturally, you will want to expand.

However, immediately you face many hurdles: which place to open?; How tough the competition will be; What is your 5-year plan?; After some time, you will probably leave everything and sit in your comfort zone. What Fried and Heinemeyer teach you is simply to do what you love. Just open the restaurant and see where it is going. In the process of leading a restaurant, you will be successful in making some important changes that will lead you to success. And you will not be able to see the possibilities for these changes until you take your first bold step.

Today on the Internet, you can see millions of self-made consultants who try to convince you. They tell business and entrepreneurship in such a difficult way that you will not even understand it, which is why you have to pay them to help you. Don't fall for these people - usually, they don't have any knowledge, and what they do is talk and talk only. In particular, they do nothing real.

Don't be afraid to start small:

This is probably one of the most important things to take from Rework. The author repeats it so many times that we just have to tell it. First of all, there is a lot of beauty in small companies - everything is small, very much personal. You personally know about every employee and his family. You become a small community of people who fight for the same idea. This is something that should be loved because as you grow older, you lose this feeling of belongingness. So don't be afraid to start with the little things — in the first turn, use whatever works for what you have, and see how things are going for you. Don't drown in too much debt because you think your idea is going to work.

If you bravely take the decision to start your business, chances are you already have a job. Instead of leaving your old job altogether, try to do both and see how things are going. Don't spend countless hours on your new business - just start thinking about it, and give a few hours of the week to develop your business idea. After some time, you will be able to decide if you need to quit your old job completely.

Starting small means that some sectors of your company will remain undeveloped, you should focus on such sectors from the beginning - these are the core sectors. These are some of the sectors without which your company cannot function. Let us once again offer an example of Vietnamese restaurants - the essential thing to open such a place, of course, food, ingredients. And you want to get the best ingredients. On the other hand, who cares about useless items like the quality of a chair at a restaurant? If you can sit on her and are not falling down, she is doing her job. At least at the time of commencement.

Let's take another example- let's say you like painting. This is your passion and it is the one thing you like to do the most. Now, one thing that you need to pay attention to is your skill. If you spend your time and money on external things like frames, then you will be left as a mediocre painting and an average painter. This also applies to music - instead of focusing on what is important to you (such as your technique) you focus on things like looks, such as looks. And once again you will end up being a good looking mediocre musician.

Finally, don't be afraid to start small, and most importantly, get the important things right.

Do not search for investor too soon:

This is another simple thing to do in a hurry in your job. As you achieve your first success, you will start looking for some investors who will help you grow your company. But by doing this you are making many mistakes. First of all, finding an investor means that your share in the company will be smaller. If things move in the right way, you will end up having less money because you were too hasty in the beginning. Secondly, by relying on the investor, you will be dependent on changing the rules of your company according to their opinion. And that's one thing you don't want.

After all, you wanted to start your own business because you had to be the leader who could make the decision. And here we come to another important thing - if you want to start a business so that you can sell it when it becomes a bit successful, then don't bother starting it. Do not believe in résumé and formal education First of all, rewrite teaches you to hire only when necessary. In this way, you will have an employee who is absolutely necessary for you, and the employee will consider himself to be responsible and there.

When it comes to hiring people yourself, be careful not to try to mimic the way people are hired in large companies. What they do is to make a list of countless job interviews, which are based on people's resumes. These two are similar to doing stupid things. You are wasting your time and that of others. Instead, trust in your own gut feeling. Instead of reading several resumes, get help from existing employees to find potential employees - if you already have good, hardworking employees, don't be afraid to ask them to help you find new ones. Why a resume is not necessary? First of all, there is a possibility that the potential employee may not have written his or her own resume. There are people who write resumes for money. Even though you will notice it during the interview, but why waste the time? Instead, do a few interviews at the behest of your current employee, and see how everything is going for you.

Failure is not just a possibility - it is necessary:

As soon as you realize this, you can deal with many failures with a calm mind. Think about it- Has Usain Bolt won every race he participated in? Definitely not. Does having a good idea mean that you are going to succeed? certainly not. So you should accept the failures, even if they are big, they will definitely come. Instead of trying to suppress it, you should accept it and get ready for it, at least emotionally. For example, suppose everything is going well, you started your business and started expanding it.

Perhaps you are thinking ahead and you have borrowed more money than you have and after some time you realize that you will not be able to repay your loan. Instead of being overly upset about it, you should acknowledge that the problem exists but should be dealt with. be honest with yourself. Say something like this: "Yes, I have failed now, but that means I now know what not to repeat in the future."

There is a good saying about the problem: "There are no problems, only solutions." If you move from this point of view to the subject, you will see that the problem can be seen as a challenge that can be solved. This type of mindset is essential when leading a business. Some highly successful people struggled early in their careers, only to become the most successful in the world later. If Bill Gates had only seen his qualifications based on academic success, we would not have Microsoft today - because Bill Gates was not really a good student.

The conclusion:

According to our opinion, this was one of the most important things to learn. But we encourage you to read the book on your own, and ask yourself to judge - maybe you can find something that is related to your personal problems. And, finally, you should remember these statements that can be found in Rework:

1Your business idea should be related to something that you will fight for - don't start a business just because you want to sell it after a few years. Do something that really matters to you.

2. Big corporate marketing is not for small honest companies- Do not try to use the way of marketing of big companies, especially in the early days of your business, instead, focus on the most important things.

3. Being a workaholic and a productive person are two complete things - if you notice that work is going a little slow, do not panic. Make it easier instead of spending many hours on unconstructive and worrying work. Take a walk, or do a set of push-ups. 1 hour of focused work is better than 10 hours of workaholic work.

4. You probably need less than you think to start your business - everyone is small in the beginning. Don't be afraid to keep it simple and small in the beginning. It will be beneficial for you in the long run.

About the Author:

David and Tom Callie are two brothers who live in Ohio. David is a professor and entrepreneur. He is the founder of IDEO, a global design company, and the Design Institute D. School of Standford University. Tom has written the best seller book "The Art of Innovation and The Ten Faces of Innovation". He is also a partner in IDEO.

Let's We Start Summaries:

Introduction:

Suppose you have a piece of paper. Now draw 30 circles of bean size in it. But you have to draw circles in such a way that an object can be created from it. Any object can be such as a clock, ball, fish tank, or any sign of a stop. If you want, you can transform as many circles as you want in 3 minutes.

If you are not able to finish all 30 circles, then it is fine. Most people are not able to do it. But what made you image from these circles? Any normal things like a basketball, a Ballard ball, or a soccer ball? Or a funny cheese like Planet, Cookie, Pizza, or Happy Face?

Have you ever broken rules? Or thought about it? With these 30 circles, you can create a big image like snowmen or traffic lights. You can make anything, there is no rule fix. Make whatever you want from these 30 circles.

There are some similar experiences in D. School where you are given tasks of this type. David Kelly had laid the foundation of this institute at Standford University. If B is a school for business, then a design is a D school for thinking. People from different fields come here who are taught creative confidence.

When you hear the word creativity, what comes to your mind? You might say that artists, painters, musicians, and animators are creative people. You might also find web designers and archives as creative, whereas lawyers, scientists, and CEOs do not. Or maybe you will say that you are not the creative type.

But David and Tom Callie believe that everyone can be creative. No matter which field you are in, whatever job you are in, any position, you can make your task creative. When you bring a new idea or solution to your job that benefits people, then this is also your creativity. Now, suppose you have created a tool or system that is easier to use, affordable, and productive, then it will be considered your creativity.

Creative confidence is the ability to create and implement new ideas in us. Most of us are busy with our routine jobs. Therefore, whatever strategy or system is there, we will expose it. But is it not good if you get a better solution? If someone gets a brilliant idea that benefits everyone?

Flip flip:

Doug Dietz has been working at Journal Electric for 24 years. Nowadays he has got an assignment to develop imaging systems for GE Health Care. This is an $ 18 billion division of the company. It took Doug two and a half years to finish the new high-tech MRI machine. Each unit costs millions of dollars.

Doug went to visit the hospital where First Units was installed. He met MII Technicians and asked him how did you like this machine. Doug also told him Proudly that this machine has been nominated for the International Design Excellence Award. These awards are considered Oscars of Design Awards. But after listening to Doug, the technician simply said that to get a little side.

Then a patient came there who was to be scanned. It was a thin skinny girl who held her parents' hands. She was nervous. He got very scared while scanning it. The machine was quite large and made of the mantle. Had to go inside the machine for scanning. When that girl was taken to MRI, she started crying.

Despite the fact that his parents were giving him courage, the girl was afraid. In the meantime, the anesthesiologist was called. Doug finds out that young children are very scared to see the machine, so they are ceded before sending them inside the MRI machine.

And at that moment Doug felt that his design had failed. Although he was proud of his design, the patients who had to use this project in real, if they do not like this project, then what is the benefit? Doug became very disappointed with the fact that his machine was scaring young children.

If there was someone else, he might not have taken much tension and would have engaged in his remaining project. But Doug knew that he had to do something. He was advised by the boss that he would go and take a course from D. D. School, Standford. This was a one-week course called the Executive Education Course. Doug was a bit dumb about whether he would benefit from this course or not, but he agreed to his boss and went to do this course.

In D. School, Doug learned about Creative Confidence. He got to learn about the Human-Centered Design Process, in which users' need, its thoughts, and feelings are considered to be the number one priority of the design. That is, for those people for whom you are making a product, you should have empathy in actuality.

Doug also learned that human-centered design is very important in any industry. Because this is the factor that can change the life of people. Doug dissuaded that he will now make such a machine so that young children do not get scared at all.

But Doug also knew that he could not get more funding to build another new MRI machine. So he focused on re-creating the experience. And named it Adventure Series.

Doug did not make any changes inside the scanner. Rather, he thought of transforming from outside it. Instead of just white and metal, Dug got MRI machines painted in the design of pirate ships or spaceships. He also got the walls and ceiling of the room decorated. Decorated the metal bed on which patients had to lie. All this equipment became part of the theme.

Now the new scanner machine was ready to be made and it was fun He felt as if he was going for an amusement park ride, not for a scary medical procedure. After this experiment, nine different adventures have been installed in children's hospitals within the US. When a child enters the scanner, the MRI machine expresses that he is lying quietly because he is about to go on a sea journey or his spaceship is about to take off. Therefore, children do not need to be sedated for scanning, nor do they have to call an anesthesiologist because most of the children go happily inside the machine.

Now more and more children become ready for this process by themselves. And this is nothing less than a win-win situation for the children as well as their parents, hospital, and GE Healthcare. Doug's happiest moment was when he heard that a little girl was asking, "Can I have an MRI scan one more time"? At that time, Doug experienced 100% satisfaction. And from that day onwards, Dug applies Creative Confidence and Human-Centered Design in every project.

It is often the case that human touch is left while designing the product. We focus only on the technical and business sides. Now think of a Venn diagram that has three overlapping circles. It is for First Practical Technology, Second for Sustainable Business and Empathy with Third Logo.

Organizations should create a balance between these three factories in design making. It is on a common spot where all the circles are overlapping. Because this is the secret of a successful project.

From Fear To Courage From Fear To Courage

Are you afraid of snakes? Albert Bandura, Professor Emeritus of Standford University, says that to get rid of your phobias, you have to touch the snake once. And Bandura claims that this treatment will remove your snake fear forever in a day.

As a psychologist, Bandura has more than 50 years of experience in this field. He is now 87 but still likes to work in his Standford office. Most of the people whom they treat, most of them have lived their whole life with this phobia and got rid of it, but new courage has come in them.

This technique has to be done step by step. Imagine you are in Bandura's office and you are most afraid of snakes. So first Bandura will tell you that there is a boa constrictor in the accompanying room and you have to go to that room. Of course, you will say "What! No, never, no matter what happens".

Now after that you will get some Challenges that will take you near the snake. There is a one-way mirror through which you can see that a man is standing with a boa constrictor wrapped around his neck. Bandura will ask you what will happen next. So you will say "The snake will choke this man's throat and kill it."

But nothing happens to that man. The boa constrictor remains in the neck of the man like this. Its long and thick body moves slowly. Now Bandura will ask you to stand at the door of the room where the snake is. You just have to see from a distance. Bandura stands with you to increase your courage.

So far, you have already come close to some snake steps. Now you are just a few feet away from the snake. And till the end of the session, you will be asked to go near the final snake and touch it. You touch the snake hesitantly. You extend your hand and touch his body. And finally, you have done what you were most afraid of. After this experiment, the phobia of most of the patients of Bandura has been removed. After a few months, when they meet the patients again, the patients tell that now they are not afraid of snakes. A woman also had a dream that the boa constrictor is helping her to wash the dishes. He no longer has scary dreams of snakes.

So what happens in this treatment? Bandura calls it "Guided Mastery". Its secret is to give the patient a task that he can handle easily, then the second and then the third until he achieves his goal. That is one small step at a time.

After this treatment, the patients told that not only their phobia has been removed, but they have also discovered new things about themselves. Now he has got more courage to try new experiences like horse riding, public speaking, or new responses in jobs. When he touched the snake, he felt that now he can do everything.

Similarly, the concept of one step at a time can also be applied in creative confidence. What is your biggest fear that is preventing you from becoming creative? Are you afraid of trying something new? It can also be called Fear of Failure. Just like a snake, this fear will only go away until you experience it yourself.

In fact, creative geniuses such as Mozart and Darwin often failed. But these people became successful because they did not stop trying for fear of failing. He kept hitting more shots towards his goal. Creative geniuses fail, but do not stop trying.

The secret is that you learn from your mistake. Think of Fellers as a learning opportunity. Whenever Thomas Edison failed, he used to say that at least I came to know that this method will not work. He used to do as many experiments as possible throughout the day. This is what makes the learning process fast and more effective.

From Blank Page to Insight

Linus Ling (Linus Liang,) Jane Chen, Rahul Panikkar, and Naganand Murthy have taken admission in D. School's Design for Extreme Affordable Course. It is called Extreme in short. Here participants have to develop solutions for real-world problems.

At this time, he got the project to design a low-cost incubator for developing countries. Now there was no health expert in the team. Two people were MBA students, one was an electrical engineer and the other was a computer scientist.

So Linus, Jane, Rahul, and Naganand first searched Google to find out the infant mortality rate. He came to know that every year 15 million children are born pre matured and low weight. And one million of them die within 24 hours of being born.

The biggest reason for his death is hypothermia, ie death due to excessive cold. These children are born weak and small and their body is not so fat that their body temperature can be regulated. Normal room temperature is also as cold as freezing cold water for them. This is the reason that premature babies need to be kept in an incubator.

Death due to hypothermia can be prevented by the incubator's help, but the cost of incubators is about $ 20,000 per unit.

By reducing some parts of the incubator and using cheaper materials, the team could create a low-cost incubator, but they kept in mind the human-centered design. He had the full attention of the Mothers and their New Born Babies.

Linus went to a city hospital in Nepal. But he was surprised to see that most of the incubators there were keeping unused. The doctor said that the children who need incubators in real, they are mostly born in small villages of far-flung areas. Traveling so far with their mothers New Born Baby cannot come to the hospital.

So the team thought up a solution for the mothers and children living in the remote area. Instead of a cheap incubator, he thought of a new idea. If the team creates a device that the mothers can use in their homes?

The team brainwashed and created a prototype until they found Ambras. It is like a small sleeping bag for the baby. Inside it is a pouch made of paraffin. The mother has to take it out and heat it to 37 ° C. It can keep the baby warm for four whole hours.

The device was already built, now was the time to test it. The team came to India and tried Ambras on some of the mothers. In Maharashtra, he came to know about an important factor about improving the device.

Ambras has an LCD thermometer that guides the mothers in heating the paraffin pouches. Rahul announced that he would have to heat it to 37 degrees Celsius. Mothers were surprised to hear. He used to think that Western medicine is very strong. If the doctor asks for a teaspoon of medicine, then the mother gives only half a teaspoon to her babies.

So, if the pouch was asked to heat up to 37 degrees, then the mother was heating only up to 30 degrees. This was like an eye-opener for the team. He thought that instead of displaying the numbers, the thermometer would indicate "OK" so that the paraffin pouch was ready for use.

So this is how the extreme course ended. The team had made the prototype, so their work was now complete. But this product is very important for New Born Babies, so Rahul said that he cannot move on just by thinking that Ambras is now saving the lives of many children.

Even if those people are busy in their careers, the team is said that they will launch this product in the market. But it was also very challenging because those people did not know anything about making and distributing a medical device. But he took the first step and kept on doing things one after the other.

In 2010, the baby warming device was featured on ABC News. It featured a story show of Nisha, a premature baby born in Bangalore. She was a part of the clinical trial. Ambras saved his life.

Since then, this team of four people has turned into a company of 90 people. These people continued to improve the product design. This team reached the needy children of villages and towns and saved their lives. The Ambras team has also partnered with NGOs from other countries and recently signed a global distribution deal with GE Health Care.

When the Ambras team started, they had nothing, no money, nor any experience in the medical field. At the beginning of this project, the team's condition was like a blank page. But how did this spark come in them? Here are some strategies that you can apply.

Number One: Be Creative. From this, things will start changing for you. Number Two: Think Like a Traveler. Look at things from a new perspective. New ideas need to open their mind. Look for new experiences in life.

Number three: rise above mediocrity. Take time to explore, of course.

Number Four: Keep Empathy From Your Customers. Before making any product, think about placing yourself in the place of the customers. Try to see, think and feel like them. Number Five: Challenges the rules made, put the Habit to ask questions, this will help you to think deeply about the problem.

From Planning to Action

Akshay Kothari and Ankit Gupta are New Graduates of Standford. Akshay has done Electrical Engineering from Purdue while Ankit has done Computer Science from IIT. Both are geek type, shy but analytical natures.

Akshay heard about the Design Thinking Bootcamp of D School and decided that he would join the course. He started this course a little different, completely different from the college routine classes. And Ankit himself believes that when he came to first time D. School, he felt a bit strange. Colorful posts were installed everywhere, and there is no single right answer to the questions like Math.

He was asked to design a new ramen experience for his first task. Akshay gave a common solution while his classmates had better creative ideas. One of them gave the idea of ​​a big straw from which noodles and soup can be eaten together. Another classmate came up with the idea of ​​a special cup so that noodles could be eaten on the go.

Gradually, Akshay and Ankit started getting more creative ideas. He also learned about Human-Centered Design which was a completely new idea for him. And he also taught the Important of Empathy in Product Making.

Now that they were enjoying this experience, Akshay and Ankit thought of attending another class in D. School. Launchpad is a program of four months in which students have to start their own company from scratch and incorporate and launch their own product. Akshay and Ankit felt that they would not be able to do this.

The first step was to find a business idea. Now because Ipad had come into a new market on those days, Akshay and Ankit decided that they will design a daily news application for this. He had only four days to build the prototype.

Both boys lived in a university café all day. He used to sit there for 10 hours every day and discuss his idea. The idea was very good, he saw that people liked to read the news while drinking coffee. So he created a prototype and set up an iPad. Now any visitor could browse through his app through the news.

Akshay and Ankit were seen using the app and kept listening to the response of the users. He immediately saw the drawbacks of the interface. Due to this feedback, he got a lot of help in improving the product. Akshay focused on user research while Ankit coded new updates on the app.

They used to change a hundred things in a single day. By putting so much effort, he made the Daily News app even easier and more smooth. On his first day, he got some such comments "This app is useless, has made a useless app. And later the same users started asking "Is this app already on the iPad?"

The result of this hard work of Akshay and Ankit is "Pulse News", which is a brilliant newsreader which covers all major publications. After a few months, Steve Jobs himself presented Pulse News at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference. And it became one of the original Fifty Apps of the Apple Store Hall of Fame. Later, Akshay and Ankit sold Pulse News Linkedin for $ 90 million.

How did he do all this? How did Akshay and Ankit transform planning into successful action? He first adopted the "Do Something" Mindset. Both of them thought ahead of the launchpad course requirement. Second, both of them created a prototype as soon as possible. Whatever he did, he fasted in the Affordable Way. Third, he took feedback from potential customers and understood their needs. Fourth, he used the time limit properly to innovate more effectively.

Both of these young made the show how to take the right action. Sometimes individuals and organelles get caught in the cycle of analysis. People waste a lot of time in the planning stage itself. They do not know the effectiveness of the plan because they do not dare to launch it.

As Newton's First Law of Motion says "A body at rest steps at rest." You have to get out of this dumbness, this steeliness. For example, if you want to become an entrepreneur or businessman, then go ahead with planning. Create and launch a prototype. Don't forget to get valuable feedback from your customers. And as the product goes on, keep upgrading it.

Conclusions:

In this book, you read about Creative Confidence. Creative confidences are called when we come up with a new solution or idea for something and apply that idea in real so that it can become a life better for us and others. Think if Doug had not redesigned the MRI machine? What if Embrace did not launch its device in Team Market? And if Akshay and Ankit Pulse had stopped with the news prototype? stopped with the Pulse News prototype? So the world could never take advantage of these brilliant ideas.

That is why we give Importance to Creative Confidence. It does not matter who you are, where you are, or what you do, because if you want, you can put an impact on your work, bring a positive change to it. So take out the creativity inside you and improve the lives of people along with you.
