O Padrão Por Trás de Mentes Brilhantes | Isabela Matte | TEDxUSP Ribeirão Preto

Core Idea - The most important thing in life is knowing how to think, and conscious effort should be made to improve the way of thinking, otherwise people unlearn how to think [2] - There are patterns behind brilliant minds that can be learned and trained as a skill [2] Six Patterns of Brilliant Minds - Fragmenting Thought: Brilliant minds break down things into small pieces to see what others cannot [5][6] - Focusing on the Unknown: Instead of focusing on what they lack, they focus on what they don't know and can learn [8] - Inverse Thinking: They start with what they want to achieve in the future, look to the past for patterns, and then return to the present to begin their journey [12][13][14] - Obsession with Improvement: They are obsessed with finding the best way to do something and delve into deeper layers that others miss [14][15][16] - Long-Term Perspective: They have a long-term vision that can span decades, and they persevere despite numerous failures [20][21] - Attention to Detail: They recognize that genius lies in the details and nuances that others overlook [24][25] Additional Insights - Humility to learn from anyone, anywhere, is the foundation for developing other lines of thought [2] - The key is not knowing more, but thinking better, which allows one to learn what is needed and how to use it differently [29] - Genius is not a sudden eureka moment but the result of continuous effort, mistakes, and learning [25][27]
