The moon is too high for mortals to reach, but with a handful of water, the beautiful face of the moon will smile in your palm.

Flexibility represents a test of wisdom
The Jews said that the bean sellers in the world should be the happiest, because they never have to worry about running out of beans.why?

If their beans cannot be sold out, they can take them home and grind them into soy milk, and then sell them to pedestrians.If the soy milk cannot be sold, it can be made into tofu. If the tofu cannot be sold, it becomes hard and sold as dried tofu.If the dried tofu cannot be sold, the dried tofu will be marinated and turned into fermented bean curd.

Another option is: the bean seller takes the unsalable beans home, adds water to let the beans germinate, and then sells the bean sprouts after a few days.If the bean sprouts cannot be sold, let them grow up and become bean sprouts.If the bean sprouts still cannot be sold, let them grow longer, transplant them into pots, and sell them as bonsai.If the bonsai doesn't sell, then transplant it into soil and let it grow.After a few months, it produced many new beans.One bean has now become hundreds of beans!
There are so many choices and outlets for a bean, let alone us?All roads lead to Rome.When we fail, if we can calm down and face it calmly, we can find that there are countless wonderful choices waiting for us.

In the face of difficult problems, complaining and irritability will not help. Waiting for a solution, it is better to find a way and learn to drive our own IQ, so that we can hope to find a way out.

Integrating flexible thinking into work will produce wonderful ideas.At the same time, it is a test of wisdom. When you encounter obstacles, you have to use your wisdom to surpass it.If it's too tall, you can walk under it; if it's short, you can step over it.Flex your thinking and you'll find a way.When the flexibility of thinking reaches a certain level, one can get rid of the limitation of the "either-or" thinking mode and actively look for ways.Just like Robert used the power of others to complete his journey around the world.It is a kind of transcendence, a kind of accommodation that transcends all kinds of difficulties in order to achieve the goal.It is no exaggeration to say that all successful people are successful because they are flexible.

We all fail every day.What would you do in the face of failure?Failed to fight the fire in the way of emergency fire fighting?Delay failure by passive trapping?Clean up the failure by cleaning up the mess?Or sum up the failure with a warning thinking?It is true that these are things that need to be done after failure, but these are all helpless actions you take when you are helplessly watching the failure happen and are powerless.In fact, letting failure go all the way without being able to change is a greater failure.In life, there are always more solutions than problems.Use your brain and seek solutions with your heart, and all the crises in life will be fearless.If you also want to become an outstanding person and achieve a brilliant career in life, then please take action and use your wisdom to face the difficulties and challenges on the way forward, so that we can stand out as soon as possible in our work and life and become a truly outstanding person.

In another way of thinking, when you go out from another exit, you may see another world.

Imagination is the touchstone of human ability
Osborne, the father of Creation, said that imagination is the touchstone of human ability, and people conquer the world by relying on imagination!

In a seaside city, all land suitable for building has been developed and utilized.On the other side of the city are some steep hills, which cannot be used as building land, and the land on the other side is not suitable for building houses, because the terrain is too low, and it will always be submerged once a day when the sea flows back.

One day, a young man came to this city.On the first day of his arrival, he pre-purchased the slopes that he could not use because the mountains were too steep.He also pre-purchased the lowlands, which were flooded once a day and became unusable.The price he pre-purchased was low because the land was not thought to be of much value.

The youth used several tons of dynamite to blast the steep hills into loose soil; and then used several bulldozers to level the soil, and the original hillside land became a beautiful building site.

Then he hired some carts, and poured the excess earth over the low places, so that they rose above the water, thus making them also beautiful building grounds.

How do young people make money?The answer is actually very simple. He just used his imagination to transport certain soils from places where they are not needed to places where they are needed.There are problems everywhere in life. We must learn to think and innovate in order to grasp the turning point of life.

If you think diligently at work, you can avoid detours and problems, and you may even get unexpected gains.If the brain does not think often, it will rust like a shovel that has not been used for a long time.Being good at imagining makes our thoughts a little more agile, and life is depicted in our minds, which arouses our love for life and longing for the future, and all of these are indispensable driving forces for innovation consciousness.

Conventions and routines, reflected in people's minds, form a thinking pattern.A small change in thinking not only solves the problem of word keys being entangled, but also frees companies from the trouble of complaints.As long as you use your heart, you can find positive factors from any "bad thing". As long as you can think flexibly and act flexibly, you can achieve the purpose of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

Only by spreading the wings of imagination can many things that were not there before become available, and things that were originally at a disadvantage can be turned into good ones.If you want to be closer to success, you must open the floodgates of your imagination, which can help you on the road to success.Only by giving yourself more room for thinking and imagination can you continue to ask questions, and gradually move towards a peak in your life while solving these problems.But how to make your thoughts go further, you can try the following method
1. Get back your innocence and speak childish language.

2. Watch cartoons.

3. Watch more brain teasers.

4. Watch science fiction films, jokes, and comics.

5. Appreciate advertisements, especially foreign advertisements.

6. Cross the generation gap and understand the ideas of different people.

7. Watch TV or listen to the radio, listen to music for inspiration.

8. Get out into nature.

Imagination can bear great fruit and make the impossible possible.Conversely, without imagination, you will not have creativity, and without creativity, you will be stuck in a rut, and it is difficult to make new breakthroughs and developments.

No river in the world is straight

There will be no straight rivers in the world. Rivers turn hundreds of thousands of times before they flow to the sea.Just like the road of life, it is impossible to walk in a straight line forever. Only by constantly adapting can we move towards success.

If you dare not take a step beyond the threshold, you will never be able to escape the constraints of rules and regulations.Thinking one step more and not taking the usual path will make you different.Opportunities require us to have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering new things, a heart that is brave to innovate, and a mind that is good at innovation.

American shipping tycoon Daniel Lovig's acquisition of his first pot of gold, and even his subsequent billions of dollars in assets are closely related to his characteristic of being flexible in finding ways.

When he stepped into the gate of the bank for the first time, people looked at his frayed shirt collar and saw that he had nothing to pledge, so he naturally rejected his loan application.

He came to Chase Bank again, and tried every means to meet the president of the bank.He told the president that after he bought the freighter, he converted it into an oil tanker immediately, and he has leased the unpurchased ship to an oil company.The monthly rent paid by the oil company is used to repay the loan he wants to borrow in installments.He said that he could hand over the lease to the bank, and the bank would collect the rent from the oil company, which would be equivalent to paying in installments.

The president of Chase Bank thought: Lovig is penniless, maybe he has no credit at all, but the credit of the oil company is reliable.It will be very safe to take his lease to the oil company to collect money on a monthly basis.

Lovig finally got his first loan.He bought the old freighter he wanted, converted it into an oil tanker, and leased it to the oil company.Then they used the boat as collateral to borrow another sum of money to buy another boat.

Lovig was able to overcome difficulties and finally achieve his goal. His success and shrewdness lies in his ability to use flexible methods to make the other party ignore his penniless, and see that there is an oil company's reliable credit behind him. As a support, he successfully borrowed money.

Lovig is a business genius with great wisdom and courage.He is able to flexibly find ways in adversity, create opportunities, turn difficult problems into favorable conditions, and create more resources that can stand out.

Everyone can have intelligence, just like holding a key and a sharp weapon that can deal with any situation, and create a new world of life full of wisdom and happiness.In life, to get opportunities requires opening a wise mind.A person who is good at opening up a wise mind must be a person who is good at discovering opportunities and pioneering bravely, and must also be a person who lives life with wisdom and wins success with brains.People who use wisdom are more popular than those who only work hard and are not good at thinking, and they will embrace success earlier.

People who have achieved extraordinary achievements in the world all know the principle of flexibility and are familiar with the art of flexibility.A well-known American business person summed up his successful experience and said that his success lies in his flexibility. He can adopt different methods according to different difficulties and finally overcome them.A successful person must take an unusual path.Success must require you to be unique. As long as you take a different path, you will be half successful.Following in the footsteps of others has no bright future.Because no one's road to success is opened up by others, and no one's road to success is a ready-made scenic journey created by heaven.Only by finding another way and daring to break the routine can we discover new scenery and new world.

Try to take a different path, and you will get a surprise in life.

Alternatives have to go their own way

Pochi, a former shipwreck hunter, had an ordinary life until he encountered the golf ball.

One day, he accidentally saw a golf ball fall into the lake due to the player's mistake. Suddenly, he seemed to see an opportunity.He put on his diving suit and jumped into the water barrier lake on the golf course.

He was surprised to find that thousands of golf balls were scattered and piled up at the bottom of the lake.Most of these balls are indistinguishable from new.After seeing these balls, the stadium manager agreed to buy them for 10 cents each.He caught more than 2000 fish that day, and the money he got was equivalent to his weekly salary.At the end of the day, he fished the ball out of the lake every day and took it home to have his hired hands wash it, repaint it, pack it, and sell it for half the price of a new ball.

Soon, other divers caught wind of the news, and there were more people engaged in this work. Boqi simply bought these old balls from them, each for 8 cents, and 8 to 10 such golf balls were sent to him every day. company.Now, his golf ball recycling company has a revenue of more than $800 million a year.

In life, everyone has a chance to win treasure.However, opportunities often favor those who dare to take the first step forward.Only those who dare to be the first to eat crabs will come up with ideas that others have not, and only they can succeed.In this world, many rich and successful people are no different from us ordinary people, but they have more courage to be the first to do it.It's not that some things are difficult to do, but because we don't use our heart to find a way to solve the difficulties.In other words, we only need to change a qualitative perspective, which is not creativity.For a certain event or phenomenon, you can think about it from three perspectives: affirmative, negative, and undecided, and discover the unknown things in it.

([-]) Affirmative perspective
The affirmative perspective of thinking is that when the mind thinks about a specific thing or concept, it is first assumed that it is correct, good, beneficial, and valuable, and then along this perspective, look for this thing or concept advantages and value.Affirmative perspective is nothing new, our minds use it every day.However, we often only adopt an affirmative perspective on things that are generally recognized as "good", "right" and "valuable".For example, make things that are unfavorable to people become beneficial to people.Based on this reason, out of specific needs, take a positive perspective on a certain thing, overcome its unfavorable aspects, or turn the use into a useful aspect.

([-]) Negative perspective
The "negative perspective" in thinking can also be understood as the meaning of reverse thinking. It is the opposite of the "positive perspective". Valueless, etc., and under the domination of this perspective, look for the negative value of the object or concept such as mistakes, harm, failure, and lack.For example, large companies in Japan have full-time "inspectors". These people do nothing all day long, but just walk around in the company. Their only duty is to point out the company's shortcomings and shortcomings.So they always wear a pair of "negative perspective" glasses, always looking at things that are wrong, bad, and need improvement.Workers used to call them "pickers".

Like "positive perspective", the use of "negative perspective" can only show the value of creativity in specific occasions.When everyone is criticizing or even abusing a certain thing or concept, it is meaningless for you to adopt a "negative perspective"; when everyone is cheering and celebrating success, you can maintain a "negative perspective" to show that you The level of thinking is superior to others.

([-]) Perspective to be determined
