Circle of Competence ⭕️

Why am I feeling so lost?
Because you are outside of your Circle of Competence.

Circle of competence is an area in which we have a lot of earned knowledge.

The “Circle of Competence” is the core mental model used by Buffett and Munger to calibrate risk and leverage. The essence of the circle does not depend on how large your perimeter is, but on your absolute discipline to stay inside it.

Mastering Success: Navigate Within
Your Circle of Competence

**************************

能力圈 ⭕️

我们寻寻觅觅，试遍诸路，却仍在低效的涉猎中感到缺失。这并非因为不够努力，而是你越过了自己的能力圈。四处浅尝，满腹杂学，却无一精专。

能力圈”（Circle of Competence） 是巴菲特与芒格衡量风险与优势的核心心智模型 ——能力圈的核心并不在于“你的圈子有多大”，而在于“你要留在圈内”。

“不知己不知”
认知盲区：不知道自己不懂

从“盲目涉猎”转向“深耕一处”。
对不懂的事情坦然承认“我不知道”，在不完美的起跑线上，筑起你不可替代的护城河。深耕一处，胜过涉猎百处。

The Treadmill Illusion 🏃‍♂️

Stop mistaking motion for progress.

We tend to use “busyness” to hide from what actually matters.

In behavioral psychology, this is known as Action Faking (A term coined by MJ Demarco, the international best selling author of Unscripted.) When facing an uncomfortable, high-stakes objective, your brain creates a barrier of minor tasks.

It craves the dopamine of checking off an item. By staying deeply distracted by “urgent” noise, you successfully protect yourself from the emotional friction of doing the real work.

“To be everywhere is to be nowhere.” - Seneca

Start today:
Shift from action-faking to action-taking.

Step away from the treadmill (illusion).
Don’t be afraid of the ground (reality).
Decide what your first physical action is, schedule it, and do it.

Avoidance creates anxiety.
Action creates clarity.

跑步机错觉 - The Treadmill Illusion

步履不停，却未前行半步。莫将忙碌，误作前行。

我们往往习惯用“忙碌”来逃避真正重要的事情。

在行为心理学中，这被称为“伪行动” (Action Faking) —— 该概念由国际畅销书《Unscripted》作者 MJ Demarco 所提出。当你面对一个令人不适、高风险的目标时，你的大脑会主动创造一道由琐碎任务组成的屏障。
人心避重就轻。筹备安稳无忧，而践行充满未知。大脑只想渴望通过“勾选清单”来获取多巴胺，“奖励”犒劳尚未出发的你，让你提前支取成就感。通过让自己深陷在那些“紧急”的杂音中，你成功保护了自己，免受面对真正工作时的情绪摩擦。

“身处万境，便无归处。” —— 塞涅卡

今天开始从“伪行动” (Action-Faking) 转向“真行动” (Action-Taking)。

我们永远等不来所谓的“万事俱备”。
逃避滋生焦虑。
行动看清方向。

🤯 “It feels like EVERYONE has their child in tutoring… is my child missing out?”

But I’m not a fan of drilling worksheets or hothousing my child. Because knowing more isn’t the same as learning better.

What’s better alternative to tutoring?

🔨 Traditional tutoring is like a booster seat—it helps children reach the table for now.

🧰 Learning & Development Centre is a training ground—it builds the mindset, motivation, and learning habits that carry children forward for life.

💡Research tells us:
When mindset and motivation are activated, the brain learns deeper and better.

Psychologist Carol Dweck’s Growth Mindset talks about The Power of ...Yet, Dweck explains that people tend to approach problems with one of two mindsets. Our children just have to change their thoughts to: “I can’t do it... yet.”

Because how a child learns is just as important as what they learn.

Are we missing out? Or maybe the real question isn’t whether my child needs tutoring, it is what kind of learning journey are we building...
