There is a popular saying in recent years: “Children make choices, adults want everything!” In fact, this sentence comes from the very familiar Stephen Chow movie “The Official”, the classic line of the world’s best hunter, the city management leopard-headed Lei Bao.

This sentence sounds very domineering, but in fact we all know that in the world of adults, it is difficult to really want everything, and many times we have to make choices. So, when I saw the new book published by Happiness Culture, “[First-class people know how to make choices: accurately choose the option with a higher success rate”] (https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/001 0899525?utm_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-202108)》, I couldn’t help but be very curious about this book.

The author of this book, Eiji Doi, is the chairman of Elies Book Consulting Co., Ltd. and the editor-in-chief of the electronic newspaper “Business Book Marathon”. Not only is he a best-selling author, he has also made a name for himself by managing brands for many authors. The most famous example is “The Heart-pounding Magic of Organizing Your Life”, which was created in 2011 and sold 1.58 million copies in Japan. This book has been translated into 41 languages ​​including English and Italian. The American version has been a bestseller with special articles in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. In March 2015, the book ranked first on the best-seller lists of Amazon in the United States and Italy at the same time, setting off a global craze, with total sales reaching 6.25 million copies.

When I choose a book, I like to research the author’s background. And seeing Mr. Doi’s interesting experiences made me even more curious about this book!

The author said that as long as we have the power of choice, we can make the right choice: whether we are running for a job, getting married, or wanting to make profits in the stock market, as long as we make the right choice, everything will go smoothly. The reason is simple, because the 90% chance of success often depends on the choice made at the beginning.

In addition to advocating how to make good choices, some of the insights Mr. Doi puts forward in the book are bold and even sharp. For example, using bowling’s “pin theory” as an example of how to grasp the direction of your career impressed me deeply.

So, you may want to ask: How do you master your own No. 1 bottle?

In fact, the so-called No. 1 pin is the pin at the front when bowling. And if you want to achieve a [all over](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/all over) result, you must hit the No. 1 pin. Otherwise, no matter how fast and beautiful the ball is thrown, it will not be possible to defeat them all at once.

The author of “First-class people know how to make choices: accurately select “options with a higher success rate"" pointed out that there is also a so-called No. 1 bottle in business operations. For manufacturers, the No. 1 bottle is a best-selling product; for the wholesale industry, the No. 1 bottle is a strong channel; for the retail industry, the No. 1 bottle is the completeness of product categories.

In other words, the No. 1 bottles in each field are actually very different. As long as you recognize, master, choose and hit your No. 1 pin, you don’t have to worry about the other pins!

Therefore, when we make any choice, we must first grasp the position of bottle No. 1. Well, this statement is really interesting, and it also made me think: What is my No. 1 bottle? Is it a writing major? Is it teaching technology? Or…

Well, this question is really interesting. If you are interested, please write to me to discuss and tell me what your No. 1 bottle is, okay?
