First, social limitations.
It refers to the limitations of advanced figures due to the influence of their social environment. For example, Solon in ancient Greece, because of his social environment, he had the golden mean. When he carried out the reform as a "mediator", his doctrine of the mean led to incomplete reform and failed to hand over the political power to the Athenian people.
Second, the limitations of history.
It refers to the ideological limitations of advanced figures in history due to their historical development stage. For example, it is impossible for people in the early stage of agricultural society to form ideas, understandings, lifestyles and institutional designs that are only possible in industrial society.
Third, the limitations of personality.
It refers to the ideological limitations of advanced figures in history because of their class status. Personality has a great influence on people's behavior and way of thinking. For example, Xiang Yu's stubbornness and ambition made him not listen to Fan Zeng's persuasion and suggestions. Finally, Wujiang committed suicide.
The role of mentality:
The role of mindset is to associate the problems faced with similar problems that have been solved, compare the characteristics of new problems with those of old problems, grasp the similarities between old and new problems, connect the existing knowledge and experience with the current problem situation, and use the knowledge and experience that have dealt with similar old problems to deal with new problems.
Directional problem solving always needs a clear direction and a clear goal, otherwise the problem solving will fall into blindness. Orientation is the premise of successful problem solving. Directional method is the means to achieve the goal, and generalized method refers to all the tools used to solve problems, including the knowledge used to solve problems. Different types of problems always have corresponding conventional or special solutions.
Thinking set is a way of thinking to deal with problems according to routines. It can save a lot of groping steps, shorten thinking time and improve efficiency. In daily life, mindset can help people solve more than 90% of the problems they encounter every day. But the mindset is not conducive to innovative thinking and creation.
