Being able to use social rules is indeed a kind of high IQ ability

I watched this movie because it was advertised as a high IQ movie, and it was starring Leonardo when I was young. I was curious about the plot, so I watched it. To put it simply, it is the story of a liar who succeeded in defrauding a lot of people and defrauding a lot of money by spying on insider details of the industry, constantly forging identities and forging checks.

The so-called high IQ of Leonardo, in my opinion, is nothing more than a combination of understanding of popular psychology, social psychology, extremely fast on-site response ability, and an understanding of the insider details of the industry.

For example, when cashing a check, Leonardo always chooses the kind of young women who love beauty (look for a good target), and when the other party checks the authenticity of the check, he always compliments (psychology). Your eyes are so beautiful and yours. His lips are so beautiful..., and the cheque he forged was already very realistic (hard technology), the staff immediately cashed it for him.

There was also a substitute teacher who had pretended for a month, but no one noticed it, because he completely pretended to be what a substitute teacher should be, especially his attitude. This resilience is very important. When Leonardo was caught by Tom Hanks for the first time, he reacted quickly: I also came to catch the criminal. Look at this room, it’s all evidence of his crime,... even just pulled up the stairs. The travellers who met by chance co-acted in a scene. This kind of calmness and resilience is not so much a high IQ as it is a high EQ.

It is easy to be a doctor in a hospital to forge a diploma, but how to deal with ordinary affairs is troublesome, he feels vomiting when he sees blood, how to perform surgery? ——Using the socialization system relationship, as a small leader of the hospital, do you need him to work in person? unnecessary. Just tell your subordinates to do it.

Usually only by working hard step by step and climbing up can you achieve the leadership position, so naturally you don't need to do anything. They have experience and occasionally call on their subordinates. And Leonardo, who dropped into the leadership position, kept shirking operations to others,...this is also a resilience. It really depends on IQ. IQ is too low to transfer.

But Leonardo does have some problems. For example, after reading a book for two weeks, I passed the legal examination. This is the key to ability.

In fact, when I watch a movie, I feel from time to time: Hey, there is indeed such a thing in society (for example, the boss completely allocates things to the subordinates), but it is a pity that we only found out and complained, but never took advantage of it. Investigate the reason, because we are the people at the bottom. However, have you ever thought that it is because we are the bottom people that we will not use it; but because we do not use it, we are the bottom people?

My dad often complained, saying that stock speculation did not create wealth at all, how could it be possible to make money? Advise me not to speculate in stocks.

He said so, because in the past six months, I spent 50,000 yuan in stocks, one after another, and now there are sixty-five thousand, with a profit of 30%.

I laughed: Only people who can't make money, people who lose money, and people who have no brains will complain about the rules, complain about the social system, complain about this, complain about that, and always complain; the real winner will use the rules. people. Those who lose money are fools who follow the trend and buy whatever goes up; I carefully study the stock K-line chart. Before buying a stock, I have to look at the stock for a long time before buying. Think it over, of course I make money.

I smiled, but I didn't tell my dad, nor did I tell anyone who complained to me. Because they are all ordinary people, ordinary IQs, ordinary opinions, and they can't really see through the world, even any trivial matter, an industry.

In fact, in the final analysis, being able to understand the nature of an event, an industry, and a person is indeed a high IQ ability—I can’t do it anyway; it is a high IQ ability to be able to use it. ——I will not talk about moral and legal issues here.

However, like ordinary people, we can see 70% to 80%, and use 70% to 80%, which is already very rewarding. Whether it is the reality of being in the world, or the economic benefits.
