Stimulate positive energy

Chapter 9 Innovation has no limits, dare to be the first in the world
Breaking the routine, finding another way, and suddenly seeing a bright light, this is the surprise brought to us by innovation.Creativity is the explosion of positive energy in your heart, which can lead you into a new and magical world.
Innovative thinking brings powerful energy
In life, nothing is static.What we did last year may not be able to keep up with the needs of the times this year, and yesterday’s ideas may become history today, so our thinking also needs to be constantly changed.If a road reaches a dead end and you are trapped there, but you don't know how to exit and find another way, then you will be trapped at the end of the alley.And a person who knows how to turn back and move on from another road will definitely find a solution to the problem in the process of constant change and reach the end.This process of constantly looking for new ways out is actually a process of exercising innovative thinking.Each of us has innovative thinking, but not all of us are able to inspire it.Most people's conventional thinking is dominant, which leads to the inability to develop creativity and the buried situation of innovative thinking.In today's society, whoever can activate innovative thinking can have strong positive energy, and whoever can lead the trend and become a leader in a certain industry or field.
The so-called innovative thinking refers to the thinking process that people use novel and original methods to solve problems.This kind of thinking can break through the boundaries of conventional thinking, think about problems with unconventional or even unconventional methods and perspectives, and propose unique solutions, thereby producing novel, unique, and socially meaningful thinking results.The emergence of innovative thinking is the spark that bursts out after the accumulation of positive energy within a person to a certain extent, the so-called thick accumulation and thin hair; at the same time, it is also a starting point for the accumulation of positive energy, because innovation means breaking all routines, meaning To be flexible means to find a new way, its power is huge, and a series of positive energy will be generated, such as the wealth, contacts, social benefits, and accumulation of experience brought by golden ideas, and the thinking will become more active.The more these positive energies gather, the more active people's innovative thinking, the stronger their creativity, the more good ideas they have, and the closer they are to success.
The power of innovative thinking is powerful enough to sell you combs to monks.
In order to further expand the scale of operation, a large company with quite good profits decided to recruit a marketing executive with a high salary.As soon as the job advertisement came out, applicants flocked.In the face of many applicants, the recruitment manager said: "A horse is not as good as a horse race. In order to select high-quality marketing executives, I propose a practical test question: find a way to sell as many wooden combs to monks as possible." In this regard, The vast majority of applicants are puzzled and even angry: if a monk is ordained as a monk, what is the use of a wooden comb? Isn't it just a joke?After a while, the applicants left one after another, almost dispersing, and finally there were only three applicants left.The recruitment manager explained to the three applicants: "Ten days are the limit, and then please report the sales results to me."
The ten-day deadline came in the blink of an eye.The recruiting manager asked the first person: "How much did you sell?" The answer: "A handful."Fortunately, on the way down the mountain, he met a young monk who was scratching his scalp vigorously while basking in the sun.He had an idea, and hurriedly handed over the wooden comb. The little monk was full of joy after using it, so he bought one.
The recruitment manager asked the second person: "How much did you sell?" The answer: "10." "How did you sell it?" He said that he went to a famous ancient temple.Due to the high mountain and strong wind, the hair of the pilgrims was blown tousled.He found the abbot of the temple and said: "Unkempt hair is disrespectful to the Buddha. A wooden comb should be placed in front of the incense table in every hall for the faithful men and women to comb their hair." The abbot adopted his suggestion.There were 10 halls in that ancient temple, so he bought 10 wooden combs.
The recruitment manager asked the third person: "How much did you sell?" The answer: "1000." The recruitment manager asked in amazement: "How did you sell it?" There is an endless stream of people.He said to the abbot: "Everyone who comes to worship has a pious heart. The temple should give something back as a commemoration, bless them for safety and auspiciousness, and encourage them to do more good deeds. I have a batch of wooden combs, and your calligraphy is outstanding. , you can write the words "Jishan Comb" on it, and give it to those who come to worship." The abbot was overjoyed, and immediately bought 1000 wooden combs, and asked him to stay for a few days. Comb" ceremony.The benefactors and pilgrims who got the "Jishan Comb" were very happy. This story spread ten or ten times, and there were more worshippers, and the incense in the temple became more prosperous.This is not over yet, the abbot also hopes that he can send some wooden combs of different grades so that they can be presented to various types of donors and pilgrims.
Selling combs to monks sounds absurd.This is because in traditional thinking, combs are only used to comb hair, and monks don't have hair, so naturally they wouldn't buy combs.But in addition to the practical function of combing hair, the comb has other additional functions. Most people cannot reach this level of thinking. This is innovative thinking.Developing new markets where others think it is impossible requires stimulating innovative thinking and stimulating positive energy in the brain.Otherwise, no matter how potential the market is, we will miss it because of our lack of innovation.
Break down the "wall" that imprisons the mind
In life, rich experience and experience can often help a person accomplish some goals quickly and accurately.But experience is also a double-edged sword. While it provides people with various references, it also brings some negative information.As the American poet Maya Angelou said: "The more a person has experienced, the more conservative he is." To make a big career, active and effective innovation is very important.Facts have proved that the positive energy brought by innovation is very important both for individuals and for collective value creation.Therefore, we need to constantly break down old ideas, remove the "wall" that confines our thinking, free our thinking, fly to the vast blue sky, and create more surprises.
So, what are the "walls" that imprison thinking?Character, habits, logic, mentality, authority, these are all.Then we will tear it down block by block.
Tear down the "character wall"
Character is the prerequisite for success.People with lively and powerful personalities are enthusiastic, bold, individual, assertive, and energetic. They have innovative passion, responsible spirit, dare to challenge, dare to take risks, and act decisively. They have valuable innovative power.Strong innovation ability, easy to create miracles.However, those with peaceful and powerless personalities are lazy, dependent, procrastinating, content with the status quo, depressed, indecisive, and sloppy in doing things. Will change jobs easily, would rather keep the status quo than try to change, not only do they not have much innovative power, but also lack innovative spirit.
For a character that lacks innovative spirit, we can inject innovative factors into it to make it energetic and innovative.We often say that "the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change", which is actually wrong.A person's character can be changed through acquired efforts.For example, we can often listen to some passionate speeches, make friends with people full of positive energy, learn from other people's successful experiences, go out into nature as much as possible, make ourselves have a good body, and get along with children more. It is the source of positive energy. After doing these things for a long time, you will find that your whole body is full of positive energy, and your personality will also be subtly changed.
Tear down the "habit wall"
Habit is a form of conformity.From getting up in the morning to going to bed at night, 95% of people's actions are habitual actions.Among behavioral habits, good habits such as studious, good at observation, active action, and diligent thinking can provide endless impetus to innovation, while bad habits such as laziness, slack, irresponsibility, dependence on psychology, and lack of progress will hinder innovation. Enhancement of innovation.The reason why bad habits become an obstacle to innovation is because we lose our sensitivity to the things we are used to, become slow to respond, or even turn a blind eye to them. We can't find problems, and of course we can't talk about solving them.Furthermore, inertia can very easily become inertia, which has historically been the enemy of innovation.
It can be seen that habits have a significant impact on innovation activities.Knowing the power of habit, we should pay attention to cultivating various good habits and get rid of those bad habits.More importantly, we must develop a habit of proactive innovation, so that innovation becomes our "second nature".
It is not easy to form a habit, and it is even more difficult to get rid of bad habits.But we often say, "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart for you." As long as we want to change and work hard to change, bad habits will stay away from you day by day.Please believe that hard work pays off.In the process of breaking bad habits, our self-control and willpower are very important.Self-control is to take the initiative to change without the supervision of others; willpower is to have the spirit of persistence and not give up easily.In addition, in this process, we should try our best to stay away from the environment, people or things that can form bad habits.For example, if we want to get rid of laziness, then we should not stay in a room without sunlight all day long, go out for a walk, and change our mood; do not stay with lazy and procrastinating people all day long, stick to our own change plan, do It will be over on the day of the event.
Remove the "logic wall"
The inertia of thinking comes not only from habit, but also from logic.Of course, thinking must be logical, and if it is not logical, there will inevitably be contradictions, but just being logical is not enough to innovate.Logical rules can only analyze things that are consistent in nature without contradiction, and most things in our lives are inconsistent and contradictory, so relying on logic alone will not only fail to solve our problems, but will hinder our sense of the unknown world and explore.Creative thinking belongs to unconventional thinking, and unconventional thinking itself is a kind of thinking activity that relies more on non-logical thinking.Therefore, in order to innovate, we must break through logical thinking and use more non-logical thinking to solve problems.
Illogical thinking is a way of thinking that is not restricted by fixed logical rules but directly makes comprehensive judgments based on the information provided by things.Subconsciousness, imagination, intuition, epiphany, inspiration, emotion, association, etc. are its main forms of expression.It is generally accepted that these factors play an important role in the critical stages of creative thinking.For example, inspiration is a psychological phenomenon in which people are inspired by some kind of opportunity in the process of artistic conception and exploration, and thus suddenly appear enlightened, excited, and achieve breakthroughs.Inspiration can bring people unexpected creativity, but its generation comes and goes suddenly, it is not controlled by people's logic and reason, and it has the characteristics of suddenness, shortness, excitement and breakthrough .However, inspiration cannot be produced in a poor mind. It cannot be obtained without long-term hard study and personal practice. It can only take root and sprout in the land of continuous accumulation of experience and knowledge, so that it suddenly appears and brings people full of creativity. train of thought.Therefore, we can't wait for inspiration to appear, but we must continue to learn, enrich knowledge, accumulate experience, and provide fertile soil for inspiration and other illogical thinking activities.
Break down the "mentality wall"
Innovation requires a good attitude.Facts tell us that people with self-confidence and a positive and proactive attitude can easily grasp opportunities for innovation; Persistent people can stick to the hope of innovation.And those negative, pessimistic, unable to withstand setbacks, and fear of failure mentality can hinder the development and improvement of our innovation ability.
It is also half a glass of water, people with a negative attitude will say: "There is only half a glass of water, what can I do?" And people with a positive attitude will say: "Great, there is still half a glass of water." It is also a failure. An optimistic person will say: "It doesn't matter, this is accumulating experience for success, and you will succeed if you do it a few more times." A pessimistic person will say: "It still fails, and you will not succeed if you continue to do it. Give up." It seems that to innovate, we must first have a positive attitude.
Therefore, tear down the "mentality wall", give yourself a sunny attitude, maximize the accumulation of positive energy, put aside the negative attitude, open your mind to embrace the miracle brought by innovation, and you will become a person full of positive energy.
Tear down the "wall of authority"
The existence of authority can easily make us think in a closed way, and it is also easy to cause speculative and pandering thinking.Because in the eyes of most people, authority is the truth, authority cannot be challenged, and everyone is working hard to keep up with the thinking of authority.Over time, authority will occupy a dominant position in people's brains, and people will lose the consciousness and spirit to question authority.And this is a deep ditch that hinders innovative thinking.To cross this ditch, we must tear down the "wall of authority" and dare to question authority.
We can consciously cultivate imaginative thinking, associative thinking, divergent thinking, etc., so as to cultivate the spirit of daring to challenge the so-called truth and authority.When encountering problems, ask more why, use your hands and brains to find solutions to problems, and look at problems from different angles, so that you can dare to question authority and stand up to challenge when authority makes mistakes, so that your thinking will not be labeled by authority Label.
Let the brain run at high speed
Powerful energy comes from the high-speed operation of the brain.The high-speed operation of the brain can help us absorb many ideas and viewpoints from the outside world, provide us with reference and ideas for solving problems, and guide us to finally obtain the desired results.Because the main function of the brain is to promote the continuous movement of energy, when the brain is running at high speed, the movement of energy will continue to increase, which makes it easier for us to obtain external energy support than usual.Of course, what the brain does is to enhance its own energy. If the energy itself is relatively weak, no matter how fast the brain works, the energy cannot be significantly improved, so it is very important to fill yourself with energy.
The high-speed operation of the brain is the prerequisite for the explosion and improvement of innovation.If the brain is not used for a long time, it will become dull and lack vigor, just like a knife will rust if it is not sharpened for a long time. If things go on like this, it will lose the functions that the brain should have.Thinking can give the brain sufficient training, make its own energy run more frequently, and the energy will be strengthened accordingly.
A person who can run his brain at a high speed can often come up with novel ideas through thinking to help himself out of predicament and embarrassment.
Once upon a time, there was a poor man who had a very beautiful and clever daughter.The poor lived in poverty, and his wife was weak and sick, so he had to borrow a lot of money from the rich.The end of the year is approaching, and the poor can't afford the rich man's money, so they come to the rich man's house and ask him for a period of grace.
However, the rich man didn't believe that the poor man's family had become so embarrassing as he described, so he asked to go to the poor man's house to have a look.
When he came to the poor man's house, the rich man saw exactly the same: the house was completely empty, with nothing but a sick wife.But, at the same time, he saw the beautiful daughter of the poor man, and bad ideas popped up immediately.He said to the poor: "It's only right and proper to pay debts. I think your family is really difficult, and I won't make things difficult for you. Well, I will put two stones, one black and one white, into the jar. If you touch the white one That one, then you don’t have to pay back the money; if you touch the black one, marry your daughter to me to repay the debt!”
The poor had no choice but to agree.When the rich man threw stones into the pot, it happened that the poor man's daughter saw that the two stones he put in were both black.She understood everything, it was the rich man's sinister intentions, but she couldn't expose the rich man's conspiracy face to face, so she kept her composure and secretly thought of a way.Soon, she quietly told her father a good way, and asked him to follow suit.
The poor man reached into the jar and touched the stone, but just as he was about to take the stone out of the jar, his hand trembled "accidentally". Before the rich man had time to see the color of the stone, the stone fell It fell to the ground, mixed with a pile of stones on the ground, making it difficult to identify.
The rich man said: "Then touch it again!" The poor man's daughter said beside him: "You don't need to touch it anymore, just look at the color of the stones left in the jar, and you will know that my father touched it just now." Is the stone white or black?" She reached out and took out the remaining black stone from the jar, and said with a sigh: "It seems that what my father touched just now is a white stone." Our family is grateful to God for the good luck, and thank you for your 'good idea'!" The rich man was speechless for a moment.
If you touch it again, it means that the poor must marry his daughter to the rich to repay the debt, which will make him feel guilty all his life.The poor man's daughter did not expose the rich man's intentions at the critical moment, but came up with a unique idea through thinking, found a more beneficial way to solve the problem, and successfully reversed the unfavorable situation her father was in.This is the power brought by the high-speed operation of the brain.
People with high-speed brains, who are concentrated, have strong emotions and desires, can often have a strong influence, and it is easy for others to feel a kind of energy from themselves.For example, when we go to a speech, the speaker's powerful words greatly enhance his energy, and at the same time, the high-speed operation of the brain makes his energy show up in front of the audience.This extremely powerful energy affects everyone here, activates everyone's energy, and fully demonstrates the influence brought by the high-speed operation of the brain.On the contrary, people whose brains cannot operate at a high speed do not have any strong mental activities, and their thinking is dull and inactive. Even though their own energy is very strong, they cannot fully exercise their energy and cannot exert their influence on others.
In short, the high-speed operation of the brain is an important guarantee for the full function and continuous increase of energy.Only when the brain runs at a high speed can the energy in the body show its most powerful side, the creativity can be activated to the greatest extent, and the brain can come up with unexpected and surprising golden ideas.
Another way, unique scenery
Innovation means breaking through the routine, not taking the usual path, and daring to be the first.A philosopher once said: "As long as you leave the common road and sneak into the forest, you will definitely find something you have never seen before." Many times, we solve problems according to conventional thinking. After trying many times, we are still stuck in it. The solution is to fall into the situation of "the mountains and rivers are full of doubts and no way out".At this time, we might as well learn to be flexible, break the routine, and find another way, and you will usher in the light of "another village with dark willows and bright flowers".
Collection is a headache.This kind of thing also plagued a company in Brazil, leaving the manager at a loss as to what to do.One day, he suddenly had an idea and came up with a brilliant idea.That day, he delivered his bill confidently.
This foreign company's trading business is very busy, and the work rhythm is also very tense. Often, the other party's goods are sent out in the morning, and the bills are faxed at noon. The accountant's desk is always full of bills everywhere.
They all ask for money, and the accountants don't know who should pay first.The same goes for the manager, who always glances at it and throws it on the table, saying to the accountant: "You can figure it out." But once, he immediately said: "Pay him."
That is the bill faxed by the company in Brazil. In addition to listing the item, price, and amount of the goods, a large "SOS" is written in a large blank space, and a tearful head is drawn next to it. lines, but very vivid.This unusual bill immediately caught the attention of the manager, who looked at it and said, "I'm in tears, please pay him in the fastest way."
In fact, both the manager and the accountant knew in their hearts that the money collector may not have really shed tears, but he succeeded and recovered a large amount of payment as quickly as possible.This is because he got rid of the cookie-cutter dunning methods.According to conventional thinking, that bill would not be so "lucky", because a small improvement, a little different expression, turned a simple "give me the money" into a little humor rich in human touch, thus Make your own bill stand out among a lot of bills, attract the manager's attention, and finally achieve the purpose of closing the account.This is the surprise brought to us by not taking the usual path.And other bills are not so "lucky" because they are all using the same old method that everyone else is using and is using.Therefore, we still have to find a way on "oddness", and whimsy will bring us "good luck".
A Jew walked into a bank in New York, went to the loan department, and sat down with great dignity. "Is there anything you can do, sir?" the manager of the loan department asked while looking at the clothes of the visitor: luxurious suits, high-end leather shoes, expensive watches, and tie clips inlaid with jewels. "I want to borrow some money."
"Okay, how much do you want to borrow?" "$1." "Just $1?"
"That's right, only $1. Is that okay?"
"Of course, as long as there are guarantees, it doesn't matter if there are more." "Okay, are these guarantees okay?" As he said, the Jew took out a pile of stocks, national bonds, etc. from his luxurious leather bag and put them on the manager's desk. "A total of 50 US dollars, is it enough?" "Of course, but do you really only need to borrow 1 dollar?" "Yes." With that, the Jew took the 1 dollar.
"The annual interest rate is 6%. As long as you pay 6% interest and return it after one year, we can return these collaterals to you."
"Thank you." The Jew finished and was about to leave the bank.The branch manager, who had been watching coldly, couldn't figure out how a person with $50 would come to the bank to borrow $1.He hurried after him and said to the Jew, "Ah, this gentleman..."
"What's the matter?" "I really don't understand why you only borrow one dollar when you have half a million dollars. If you want to borrow three or four hundred thousand dollars, we will be very happy." "Please don't worry about me It’s just that before I came to your bank, I asked a few banks, and the rent of their safes was very expensive. So, I plan to deposit these stocks and government bonds in your bank. The rent is really cheap, and it only costs 50 dollars a year. Minute."
As a rule of thumb, valuables should be stored in a vault safe, which for many is the only option.But the Jewish businessman did not get stuck in common sense, but found another way to find a way to deposit valuables in the bank safe by borrowing money, thus saving himself a lot of rent.
It can be seen that if you are good at changing your thinking and thinking about problems, you can get more chances of success.When the objective environment cannot be changed, we can only change our own ideas.Learn to think flexibly, think of what others can't think of, do what others can't do, and walk the road that others haven't traveled, so that we can welcome hope in desperation and see scenery that others have never seen.
Innovation is competitiveness
Once upon a time, a man in a certain mountain village discovered wild mountain peaches, so he picked wild mountain peaches and sold them in the market, earning his first pot of gold.After the villagers knew about it, they followed suit one after another. They all went to the mountain to pick wild mountain peaches, and then sold them in the market.Seeing that everyone was selling peaches, this person stopped selling peaches, but made peach baskets to sell, and the mountain people came to buy them one after another, and the business of peach baskets was booming again.Discovering that peach baskets make money, the villagers followed suit one after another, and everyone started weaving peach baskets.This man saw that everyone was in the business of peach baskets, so he gave up weaving peach baskets and planted a peach orchard for people to pick and eat peaches by themselves.
This story vividly expresses the secret of success, that is, continuous innovation and continuous exploration of new opportunities.
We are all familiar with the story of "One monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat".So how can the three monks not worry about water?There are three ways: one is to let three monks engage in a relay race, and each person chooses a section, so that no one is tired, and the water tank will be full soon.This method of collaboration is called "mechanism innovation".The second is that the old monk established a new temple rule, whoever picked more water had to eat and add another dish, and whoever picked less water could only eat plain rice. As a result, the three monks went all out to carry water.This approach is called "management innovation".The third is that the three young monks discussed that it was too tiring to carry water every day, so they made pipes from bamboo on the mountain to lead the water to the water tank in the temple.This method is called "technological innovation".Innovation made the three monks no longer worry about drinking water.
Creativity is the sum of all kinds of abilities that the creative subject manifests and develops in creative activities, mainly referring to the creative thinking and creative skills that produce new ideas, new methods, and new results.
The performance of innovation is mainly: the keen observation ability to discover problems, the overall thinking ability, the ability to expand ideas and seek answers, the ability to learn from experience to open up new paths and transfer experience, and the ability to foresee the future with foresight.
People with strong innovation ability generally have the following 13 characteristics:
(1) Full of initiative and curiosity.People with strong innovation ability always have a wide range of interests and have a strong curiosity about everything.When a person stays in a unit for a long time, he tends to get used to everything and has no original ideas.But innovative people are different. They still maintain strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge about problems that everyone thinks are common. This curiosity and thirst for knowledge drive him to be proactive.
(2) Have keen insight.People with strong innovative power have a keen insight into the environment, and can find out the crux of the problem from the ordinary integration, and find out the gap between the actual existence and the ideal model.A keen leader can perceive situations and details that others fail to notice, can constantly discover people's needs and the potential of everyone's abilities, and skillfully use these needs and potentials to advance the cause.
(3) Rich in flexibility.Innovative talents always have smooth thinking, and they are talents with three-dimensional thinking and multi-thinking.They are good at drawing inferences from one fact, knowing everything from what they hear, and understanding by analogy.They can come up with more ideas and methods, put forward extraordinary propositions, and achieve extraordinary achievements.
(4) Have a questioning mind.Don't blindly follow the things in front of you, but ask questions boldly, and have the courage to get out of the stereotype of general concepts.In social interaction and daily life, you don't follow what others say, but go along with it.
(5) Be innovative everywhere.Don't follow the old ways and stick to the rules, dare to abandon the old and create new ones, and create something new.
(6) Have an independent character.People with strong innovation ability are good at acting independently, don't easily go along with others' opinions, usually like to think about abstract issues such as philosophy, sociology and the value of life, have a wide range of life activities, strong social activity ability, and have high ambitions for their future , the attitude is straightforward, frank, open-minded, informal.
(7) Full of self-confidence in any situation.Innovative people believe so deeply in the value of what they do that they don't change their beliefs even when they are thwarted and slandered.They always move forward until they realize their ideals and achieve their desired goals.
(8) Dare to stick to the end.The completion of a creative activity requires perseverance and perseverance.Persevere after grasping the goal, and never give up until the goal is reached.Especially when the subjective and objective environment is complex, and the problem is puzzling, and sleep and food are disturbed, whether there is persistence becomes more prominent.
(9) Have rich imagination.New perspectives in the mind arise from sound associations, and sometimes even from fantasy or chance.People with rich imagination have more associations and fantasies, which is conducive to kicking off the prelude to innovation.
(10) Thinking is rigorous.After the spark of inspiration flashes, deliberation and careful deliberation are the only way to achieve a perfect result.
(11) A sense of humor in life.A humorous character will prevent people from being affected by other people's ridicule and contempt and achieve their due goals.
(12) Have enough courage to take risks.To engage in exploration, you must not be afraid of taking risks, you must face unbearable difficulties for ordinary people, show courage, and go all out.
(13) Able to express one's thoughts fluently.This is especially necessary for innovative leaders.Fluent expression can enable innovative leaders to express complex things clearly without complicated language.
【Stimulate Positive Energy】Use curiosity to open the door to innovation
Everyone has the trait of innovation, but those with strong inner energy can activate it, and those with weak energy let it sleep in their bodies.To activate it, we must have strong curiosity. Without this starting point, no matter how powerful a person is, they will not be able to open the door to innovation.
Australian scientist Beveridge said: "Recognizing the existence of difficulties or problems may be recognizing the unsatisfactory status quo, which can stimulate the generation of ideas. People who are not curious are rarely stimulated by this." French writer France also said: "Curiosity makes scientists and poets." It can be seen that curiosity is the first key to open the door to success, and innovation is certainly no exception.
Rich and colorful life attracts our curiosity all the time.Looking at the great achievements of ancient and modern times, it is usually because their curiosity is stimulated, and finally created miracles that make people overwhelmed.Edison, known as the "King of Invention", had more than 1000 inventions in his life.How can a person who has only read books for three months have so many inventions?If you have heard the story of "Edison hatched chickens", you will understand that his success stems from his strong curiosity.
Dalton was a famous British chemist and physicist in the 18th century.One Christmas Eve, he bought his mother a pair of "brown gray" socks, but his mother said why he bought her a pair of cherry red socks.Dalton didn't think that his mother was joking with him, but had great doubts about his mother's question, so he ran to ask the people around him, and found that except his younger brother who had the same opinion as himself, the rest of them had the same opinion as his mother. Same, say cherry red.Dalton felt that this little thing was really unusual, and his curiosity about it was growing.After careful analysis and comparison, he found that his younger brother and his own color vision were different from others. It turned out that both his younger brother and himself were color blind.
Although Dalton was not a biologist or a medical scientist, he was the first person to discover color blindness and the first color blind patient to be discovered.After his comprehensive analysis, he wrote a paper "On Color Blindness", becoming the first person in the world to raise the issue of color blindness.
Be curious about simple and ordinary things, and conduct in-depth research, and miracles will appear in front of you.John Manson Brown once said: "Thank God I didn't harden my curiosity. Curiosity makes me want to know things big and small. Such curiosity is like clockwork, dynamo, jet engine. It gave me a new life." Yes, curiosity is extremely important to a person's vitality and creativity, it will rewrite your life, lead you to success, and let you create a miracle that has never been seen before.
Curiosity is a very valuable and even rare psychological quality, as Einstein said: "If a person no longer has a sense of surprise for novel and strange phenomena and the mysteries of the universe, he is tantamount to a walking dead. Your eyes must be blurry." So, walk into life with curiosity, you will create more miracles, and the light of life will be more brilliant.

Breaking the routine, finding another way, and suddenly seeing a bright light, this is the surprise brought to us by innovation.Creativity is the explosion of positive energy in your heart, which can lead you into a new and magical world.
Innovative thinking brings powerful energy
In life, nothing is static.What we did last year may not be able to keep up with the needs of the times this year, and yesterday’s ideas may become history today, so our thinking also needs to be constantly changed.If a road reaches a dead end and you are trapped there, but you don't know how to exit and find another way, then you will be trapped at the end of the alley.And a person who knows how to turn back and move on from another road will definitely find a solution to the problem in the process of constant change and reach the end.This process of constantly looking for new ways out is actually a process of exercising innovative thinking.Each of us has innovative thinking, but not all of us are able to inspire it.Most people's conventional thinking is dominant, which leads to the inability to develop creativity and the buried situation of innovative thinking.In today's society, whoever can activate innovative thinking can have strong positive energy, and whoever can lead the trend and become a leader in a certain industry or field.
The so-called innovative thinking refers to the thinking process that people use novel and original methods to solve problems.This kind of thinking can break through the boundaries of conventional thinking, think about problems with unconventional or even unconventional methods and perspectives, and propose unique solutions, thereby producing novel, unique, and socially meaningful thinking results.The emergence of innovative thinking is the spark that bursts out after the accumulation of positive energy within a person to a certain extent, the so-called thick accumulation and thin hair; at the same time, it is also a starting point for the accumulation of positive energy, because innovation means breaking all routines, meaning To be flexible means to find a new way, its power is huge, and a series of positive energy will be generated, such as the wealth, contacts, social benefits, and accumulation of experience brought by golden ideas, and the thinking will become more active.The more these positive energies gather, the more active people's innovative thinking, the stronger their creativity, the more good ideas they have, and the closer they are to success.
The power of innovative thinking is powerful enough to sell you combs to monks.
In order to further expand the scale of operation, a large company with quite good profits decided to recruit a marketing executive with a high salary.As soon as the job advertisement came out, applicants flocked.In the face of many applicants, the recruitment manager said: "A horse is not as good as a horse race. In order to select high-quality marketing executives, I propose a practical test question: find a way to sell as many wooden combs to monks as possible." In this regard, The vast majority of applicants are puzzled and even angry: if a monk is ordained as a monk, what is the use of a wooden comb? Isn't it just a joke?After a while, the applicants left one after another, almost dispersing, and finally there were only three applicants left.The recruitment manager explained to the three applicants: "Ten days are the limit, and then please report the sales results to me."
The ten-day deadline came in the blink of an eye.The recruiting manager asked the first person: "How much did you sell?" The answer: "A handful."Fortunately, on the way down the mountain, he met a young monk who was scratching his scalp vigorously while basking in the sun.He had an idea, and hurriedly handed over the wooden comb. The little monk was full of joy after using it, so he bought one.
The recruitment manager asked the second person: "How much did you sell?" The answer: "10." "How did you sell it?" He said that he went to a famous ancient temple.Due to the high mountain and strong wind, the hair of the pilgrims was blown tousled.He found the abbot of the temple and said: "Unkempt hair is disrespectful to the Buddha. A wooden comb should be placed in front of the incense table in every hall for the faithful men and women to comb their hair." The abbot adopted his suggestion.There were 10 halls in that ancient temple, so he bought 10 wooden combs.
The recruitment manager asked the third person: "How much did you sell?" The answer: "1000." The recruitment manager asked in amazement: "How did you sell it?" There is an endless stream of people.He said to the abbot: "Everyone who comes to worship has a pious heart. The temple should give something back as a commemoration, bless them for safety and auspiciousness, and encourage them to do more good deeds. I have a batch of wooden combs, and your calligraphy is outstanding. , you can write the words "Jishan Comb" on it, and give it to those who come to worship." The abbot was overjoyed, and immediately bought 1000 wooden combs, and asked him to stay for a few days. Comb" ceremony.The benefactors and pilgrims who got the "Jishan Comb" were very happy. This story spread ten or ten times, and there were more worshippers, and the incense in the temple became more prosperous.This is not over yet, the abbot also hopes that he can send some wooden combs of different grades so that they can be presented to various types of donors and pilgrims.
Selling combs to monks sounds absurd.This is because in traditional thinking, combs are only used to comb hair, and monks don't have hair, so naturally they wouldn't buy combs.But in addition to the practical function of combing hair, the comb has other additional functions. Most people cannot reach this level of thinking. This is innovative thinking.Developing new markets where others think it is impossible requires stimulating innovative thinking and stimulating positive energy in the brain.Otherwise, no matter how potential the market is, we will miss it because of our lack of innovation.
Break down the "wall" that imprisons the mind
In life, rich experience and experience can often help a person accomplish some goals quickly and accurately.But experience is also a double-edged sword. While it provides people with various references, it also brings some negative information.As the American poet Maya Angelou said: "The more a person has experienced, the more conservative he is." To make a big career, active and effective innovation is very important.Facts have proved that the positive energy brought by innovation is very important both for individuals and for collective value creation.Therefore, we need to constantly break down old ideas, remove the "wall" that confines our thinking, free our thinking, fly to the vast blue sky, and create more surprises.
So, what are the "walls" that imprison thinking?Character, habits, logic, mentality, authority, these are all.Then we will tear it down block by block.
Tear down the "character wall"
Character is the prerequisite for success.People with lively and powerful personalities are enthusiastic, bold, individual, assertive, and energetic. They have innovative passion, responsible spirit, dare to challenge, dare to take risks, and act decisively. They have valuable innovative power.Strong innovation ability, easy to create miracles.However, those with peaceful and powerless personalities are lazy, dependent, procrastinating, content with the status quo, depressed, indecisive, and sloppy in doing things. Will change jobs easily, would rather keep the status quo than try to change, not only do they not have much innovative power, but also lack innovative spirit.
For a character that lacks innovative spirit, we can inject innovative factors into it to make it energetic and innovative.We often say that "the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change", which is actually wrong.A person's character can be changed through acquired efforts.For example, we can often listen to some passionate speeches, make friends with people full of positive energy, learn from other people's successful experiences, go out into nature as much as possible, make ourselves have a good body, and get along with children more. It is the source of positive energy. After doing these things for a long time, you will find that your whole body is full of positive energy, and your personality will also be subtly changed.
Tear down the "habit wall"
Habit is a form of conformity.From getting up in the morning to going to bed at night, 95% of people's actions are habitual actions.Among behavioral habits, good habits such as studious, good at observation, active action, and diligent thinking can provide endless impetus to innovation, while bad habits such as laziness, slack, irresponsibility, dependence on psychology, and lack of progress will hinder innovation. Enhancement of innovation.The reason why bad habits become an obstacle to innovation is because we lose our sensitivity to the things we are used to, become slow to respond, or even turn a blind eye to them. We can't find problems, and of course we can't talk about solving them.Furthermore, inertia can very easily become inertia, which has historically been the enemy of innovation.
It can be seen that habits have a significant impact on innovation activities.Knowing the power of habit, we should pay attention to cultivating various good habits and get rid of those bad habits.More importantly, we must develop a habit of proactive innovation, so that innovation becomes our "second nature".
It is not easy to form a habit, and it is even more difficult to get rid of bad habits.But we often say, "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart for you." As long as we want to change and work hard to change, bad habits will stay away from you day by day.Please believe that hard work pays off.In the process of breaking bad habits, our self-control and willpower are very important.Self-control is to take the initiative to change without the supervision of others; willpower is to have the spirit of persistence and not give up easily.In addition, in this process, we should try our best to stay away from the environment, people or things that can form bad habits.For example, if we want to get rid of laziness, then we should not stay in a room without sunlight all day long, go out for a walk, and change our mood; do not stay with lazy and procrastinating people all day long, stick to our own change plan, do It will be over on the day of the event.
Remove the "logic wall"
The inertia of thinking comes not only from habit, but also from logic.Of course, thinking must be logical, and if it is not logical, there will inevitably be contradictions, but just being logical is not enough to innovate.Logical rules can only analyze things that are consistent in nature without contradiction, and most things in our lives are inconsistent and contradictory, so relying on logic alone will not only fail to solve our problems, but will hinder our sense of the unknown world and explore.Creative thinking belongs to unconventional thinking, and unconventional thinking itself is a kind of thinking activity that relies more on non-logical thinking.Therefore, in order to innovate, we must break through logical thinking and use more non-logical thinking to solve problems.
Illogical thinking is a way of thinking that is not restricted by fixed logical rules but directly makes comprehensive judgments based on the information provided by things.Subconsciousness, imagination, intuition, epiphany, inspiration, emotion, association, etc. are its main forms of expression.It is generally accepted that these factors play an important role in the critical stages of creative thinking.For example, inspiration is a psychological phenomenon in which people are inspired by some kind of opportunity in the process of artistic conception and exploration, and thus suddenly appear enlightened, excited, and achieve breakthroughs.Inspiration can bring people unexpected creativity, but its generation comes and goes suddenly, it is not controlled by people's logic and reason, and it has the characteristics of suddenness, shortness, excitement and breakthrough .However, inspiration cannot be produced in a poor mind. It cannot be obtained without long-term hard study and personal practice. It can only take root and sprout in the land of continuous accumulation of experience and knowledge, so that it suddenly appears and brings people full of creativity. train of thought.Therefore, we can't wait for inspiration to appear, but we must continue to learn, enrich knowledge, accumulate experience, and provide fertile soil for inspiration and other illogical thinking activities.
Break down the "mentality wall"
Innovation requires a good attitude.Facts tell us that people with self-confidence and a positive and proactive attitude can easily grasp opportunities for innovation; Persistent people can stick to the hope of innovation.And those negative, pessimistic, unable to withstand setbacks, and fear of failure mentality can hinder the development and improvement of our innovation ability.
It is also half a glass of water, people with a negative attitude will say: "There is only half a glass of water, what can I do?" And people with a positive attitude will say: "Great, there is still half a glass of water." It is also a failure. An optimistic person will say: "It doesn't matter, this is accumulating experience for success, and you will succeed if you do it a few more times." A pessimistic person will say: "It still fails, and you will not succeed if you continue to do it. Give up." It seems that to innovate, we must first have a positive attitude.
Therefore, tear down the "mentality wall", give yourself a sunny attitude, maximize the accumulation of positive energy, put aside the negative attitude, open your mind to embrace the miracle brought by innovation, and you will become a person full of positive energy.
Tear down the "wall of authority"
The existence of authority can easily make us think in a closed way, and it is also easy to cause speculative and pandering thinking.Because in the eyes of most people, authority is the truth, authority cannot be challenged, and everyone is working hard to keep up with the thinking of authority.Over time, authority will occupy a dominant position in people's brains, and people will lose the consciousness and spirit to question authority.And this is a deep ditch that hinders innovative thinking.To cross this ditch, we must tear down the "wall of authority" and dare to question authority.
We can consciously cultivate imaginative thinking, associative thinking, divergent thinking, etc., so as to cultivate the spirit of daring to challenge the so-called truth and authority.When encountering problems, ask more why, use your hands and brains to find solutions to problems, and look at problems from different angles, so that you can dare to question authority and stand up to challenge when authority makes mistakes, so that your thinking will not be labeled by authority Label.
Let the brain run at high speed
Powerful energy comes from the high-speed operation of the brain.The high-speed operation of the brain can help us absorb many ideas and viewpoints from the outside world, provide us with reference and ideas for solving problems, and guide us to finally obtain the desired results.Because the main function of the brain is to promote the continuous movement of energy, when the brain is running at high speed, the movement of energy will continue to increase, which makes it easier for us to obtain external energy support than usual.Of course, what the brain does is to enhance its own energy. If the energy itself is relatively weak, no matter how fast the brain works, the energy cannot be significantly improved, so it is very important to fill yourself with energy.
The high-speed operation of the brain is the prerequisite for the explosion and improvement of innovation.If the brain is not used for a long time, it will become dull and lack vigor, just like a knife will rust if it is not sharpened for a long time. If things go on like this, it will lose the functions that the brain should have.Thinking can give the brain sufficient training, make its own energy run more frequently, and the energy will be strengthened accordingly.
A person who can run his brain at a high speed can often come up with novel ideas through thinking to help himself out of predicament and embarrassment.
Once upon a time, there was a poor man who had a very beautiful and clever daughter.The poor lived in poverty, and his wife was weak and sick, so he had to borrow a lot of money from the rich.The end of the year is approaching, and the poor can't afford the rich man's money, so they come to the rich man's house and ask him for a period of grace.
However, the rich man didn't believe that the poor man's family had become so embarrassing as he described, so he asked to go to the poor man's house to have a look.
When he came to the poor man's house, the rich man saw exactly the same: the house was completely empty, with nothing but a sick wife.But, at the same time, he saw the beautiful daughter of the poor man, and bad ideas popped up immediately.He said to the poor: "It's only right and proper to pay debts. I think your family is really difficult, and I won't make things difficult for you. Well, I will put two stones, one black and one white, into the jar. If you touch the white one That one, then you don’t have to pay back the money; if you touch the black one, marry your daughter to me to repay the debt!”
The poor had no choice but to agree.When the rich man threw stones into the pot, it happened that the poor man's daughter saw that the two stones he put in were both black.She understood everything, it was the rich man's sinister intentions, but she couldn't expose the rich man's conspiracy face to face, so she kept her composure and secretly thought of a way.Soon, she quietly told her father a good way, and asked him to follow suit.
The poor man reached into the jar and touched the stone, but just as he was about to take the stone out of the jar, his hand trembled "accidentally". Before the rich man had time to see the color of the stone, the stone fell It fell to the ground, mixed with a pile of stones on the ground, making it difficult to identify.
The rich man said: "Then touch it again!" The poor man's daughter said beside him: "You don't need to touch it anymore, just look at the color of the stones left in the jar, and you will know that my father touched it just now." Is the stone white or black?" She reached out and took out the remaining black stone from the jar, and said with a sigh: "It seems that what my father touched just now is a white stone." Our family is grateful to God for the good luck, and thank you for your 'good idea'!" The rich man was speechless for a moment.
If you touch it again, it means that the poor must marry his daughter to the rich to repay the debt, which will make him feel guilty all his life.The poor man's daughter did not expose the rich man's intentions at the critical moment, but came up with a unique idea through thinking, found a more beneficial way to solve the problem, and successfully reversed the unfavorable situation her father was in.This is the power brought by the high-speed operation of the brain.
People with high-speed brains, who are concentrated, have strong emotions and desires, can often have a strong influence, and it is easy for others to feel a kind of energy from themselves.For example, when we go to a speech, the speaker's powerful words greatly enhance his energy, and at the same time, the high-speed operation of the brain makes his energy show up in front of the audience.This extremely powerful energy affects everyone here, activates everyone's energy, and fully demonstrates the influence brought by the high-speed operation of the brain.On the contrary, people whose brains cannot operate at a high speed do not have any strong mental activities, and their thinking is dull and inactive. Even though their own energy is very strong, they cannot fully exercise their energy and cannot exert their influence on others.
In short, the high-speed operation of the brain is an important guarantee for the full function and continuous increase of energy.Only when the brain runs at a high speed can the energy in the body show its most powerful side, the creativity can be activated to the greatest extent, and the brain can come up with unexpected and surprising golden ideas.
Another way, unique scenery
Innovation means breaking through the routine, not taking the usual path, and daring to be the first.A philosopher once said: "As long as you leave the common road and sneak into the forest, you will definitely find something you have never seen before." Many times, we solve problems according to conventional thinking. After trying many times, we are still stuck in it. The solution is to fall into the situation of "the mountains and rivers are full of doubts and no way out".At this time, we might as well learn to be flexible, break the routine, and find another way, and you will usher in the light of "another village with dark willows and bright flowers".
Collection is a headache.This kind of thing also plagued a company in Brazil, leaving the manager at a loss as to what to do.One day, he suddenly had an idea and came up with a brilliant idea.That day, he delivered his bill confidently.
This foreign company's trading business is very busy, and the work rhythm is also very tense. Often, the other party's goods are sent out in the morning, and the bills are faxed at noon. The accountant's desk is always full of bills everywhere.
They all ask for money, and the accountants don't know who should pay first.The same goes for the manager, who always glances at it and throws it on the table, saying to the accountant: "You can figure it out." But once, he immediately said: "Pay him."
That is the bill faxed by the company in Brazil. In addition to listing the item, price, and amount of the goods, a large "SOS" is written in a large blank space, and a tearful head is drawn next to it. lines, but very vivid.This unusual bill immediately caught the attention of the manager, who looked at it and said, "I'm in tears, please pay him in the fastest way."
In fact, both the manager and the accountant knew in their hearts that the money collector may not have really shed tears, but he succeeded and recovered a large amount of payment as quickly as possible.This is because he got rid of the cookie-cutter dunning methods.According to conventional thinking, that bill would not be so "lucky", because a small improvement, a little different expression, turned a simple "give me the money" into a little humor rich in human touch, thus Make your own bill stand out among a lot of bills, attract the manager's attention, and finally achieve the purpose of closing the account.This is the surprise brought to us by not taking the usual path.And other bills are not so "lucky" because they are all using the same old method that everyone else is using and is using.Therefore, we still have to find a way on "oddness", and whimsy will bring us "good luck".
A Jew walked into a bank in New York, went to the loan department, and sat down with great dignity. "Is there anything you can do, sir?" the manager of the loan department asked while looking at the clothes of the visitor: luxurious suits, high-end leather shoes, expensive watches, and tie clips inlaid with jewels. "I want to borrow some money."
"Okay, how much do you want to borrow?" "$1." "Just $1?"
"That's right, only $1. Is that okay?"
"Of course, as long as there are guarantees, it doesn't matter if there are more." "Okay, are these guarantees okay?" As he said, the Jew took out a pile of stocks, national bonds, etc. from his luxurious leather bag and put them on the manager's desk. "A total of 50 US dollars, is it enough?" "Of course, but do you really only need to borrow 1 dollar?" "Yes." With that, the Jew took the 1 dollar.
"The annual interest rate is 6%. As long as you pay 6% interest and return it after one year, we can return these collaterals to you."
"Thank you." The Jew finished and was about to leave the bank.The branch manager, who had been watching coldly, couldn't figure out how a person with $50 would come to the bank to borrow $1.He hurried after him and said to the Jew, "Ah, this gentleman..."
"What's the matter?" "I really don't understand why you only borrow one dollar when you have half a million dollars. If you want to borrow three or four hundred thousand dollars, we will be very happy." "Please don't worry about me It’s just that before I came to your bank, I asked a few banks, and the rent of their safes was very expensive. So, I plan to deposit these stocks and government bonds in your bank. The rent is really cheap, and it only costs 50 dollars a year. Minute."
As a rule of thumb, valuables should be stored in a vault safe, which for many is the only option.But the Jewish businessman did not get stuck in common sense, but found another way to find a way to deposit valuables in the bank safe by borrowing money, thus saving himself a lot of rent.
It can be seen that if you are good at changing your thinking and thinking about problems, you can get more chances of success.When the objective environment cannot be changed, we can only change our own ideas.Learn to think flexibly, think of what others can't think of, do what others can't do, and walk the road that others haven't traveled, so that we can welcome hope in desperation and see scenery that others have never seen.
Innovation is competitiveness
Once upon a time, a man in a certain mountain village discovered wild mountain peaches, so he picked wild mountain peaches and sold them in the market, earning his first pot of gold.After the villagers knew about it, they followed suit one after another. They all went to the mountain to pick wild mountain peaches, and then sold them in the market.Seeing that everyone was selling peaches, this person stopped selling peaches, but made peach baskets to sell, and the mountain people came to buy them one after another, and the business of peach baskets was booming again.Discovering that peach baskets make money, the villagers followed suit one after another, and everyone started weaving peach baskets.This man saw that everyone was in the business of peach baskets, so he gave up weaving peach baskets and planted a peach orchard for people to pick and eat peaches by themselves.
This story vividly expresses the secret of success, that is, continuous innovation and continuous exploration of new opportunities.
We are all familiar with the story of "One monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat".So how can the three monks not worry about water?There are three ways: one is to let three monks engage in a relay race, and each person chooses a section, so that no one is tired, and the water tank will be full soon.This method of collaboration is called "mechanism innovation".The second is that the old monk established a new temple rule, whoever picked more water had to eat and add another dish, and whoever picked less water could only eat plain rice. As a result, the three monks went all out to carry water.This approach is called "management innovation".The third is that the three young monks discussed that it was too tiring to carry water every day, so they made pipes from bamboo on the mountain to lead the water to the water tank in the temple.This method is called "technological innovation".Innovation made the three monks no longer worry about drinking water.
Creativity is the sum of all kinds of abilities that the creative subject manifests and develops in creative activities, mainly referring to the creative thinking and creative skills that produce new ideas, new methods, and new results.
The performance of innovation is mainly: the keen observation ability to discover problems, the overall thinking ability, the ability to expand ideas and seek answers, the ability to learn from experience to open up new paths and transfer experience, and the ability to foresee the future with foresight.
People with strong innovation ability generally have the following 13 characteristics:
(1) Full of initiative and curiosity.People with strong innovation ability always have a wide range of interests and have a strong curiosity about everything.When a person stays in a unit for a long time, he tends to get used to everything and has no original ideas.But innovative people are different. They still maintain strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge about problems that everyone thinks are common. This curiosity and thirst for knowledge drive him to be proactive.
(2) Have keen insight.People with strong innovative power have a keen insight into the environment, and can find out the crux of the problem from the ordinary integration, and find out the gap between the actual existence and the ideal model.A keen leader can perceive situations and details that others fail to notice, can constantly discover people's needs and the potential of everyone's abilities, and skillfully use these needs and potentials to advance the cause.
(3) Rich in flexibility.Innovative talents always have smooth thinking, and they are talents with three-dimensional thinking and multi-thinking.They are good at drawing inferences from one fact, knowing everything from what they hear, and understanding by analogy.They can come up with more ideas and methods, put forward extraordinary propositions, and achieve extraordinary achievements.
(4) Have a questioning mind.Don't blindly follow the things in front of you, but ask questions boldly, and have the courage to get out of the stereotype of general concepts.In social interaction and daily life, you don't follow what others say, but go along with it.
(5) Be innovative everywhere.Don't follow the old ways and stick to the rules, dare to abandon the old and create new ones, and create something new.
(6) Have an independent character.People with strong innovation ability are good at acting independently, don't easily go along with others' opinions, usually like to think about abstract issues such as philosophy, sociology and the value of life, have a wide range of life activities, strong social activity ability, and have high ambitions for their future , the attitude is straightforward, frank, open-minded, informal.
(7) Full of self-confidence in any situation.Innovative people believe so deeply in the value of what they do that they don't change their beliefs even when they are thwarted and slandered.They always move forward until they realize their ideals and achieve their desired goals.
(8) Dare to stick to the end.The completion of a creative activity requires perseverance and perseverance.Persevere after grasping the goal, and never give up until the goal is reached.Especially when the subjective and objective environment is complex, and the problem is puzzling, and sleep and food are disturbed, whether there is persistence becomes more prominent.
(9) Have rich imagination.New perspectives in the mind arise from sound associations, and sometimes even from fantasy or chance.People with rich imagination have more associations and fantasies, which is conducive to kicking off the prelude to innovation.
(10) Thinking is rigorous.After the spark of inspiration flashes, deliberation and careful deliberation are the only way to achieve a perfect result.
(11) A sense of humor in life.A humorous character will prevent people from being affected by other people's ridicule and contempt and achieve their due goals.
(12) Have enough courage to take risks.To engage in exploration, you must not be afraid of taking risks, you must face unbearable difficulties for ordinary people, show courage, and go all out.
(13) Able to express one's thoughts fluently.This is especially necessary for innovative leaders.Fluent expression can enable innovative leaders to express complex things clearly without complicated language.
【Stimulate Positive Energy】Use curiosity to open the door to innovation
Everyone has the trait of innovation, but those with strong inner energy can activate it, and those with weak energy let it sleep in their bodies.To activate it, we must have strong curiosity. Without this starting point, no matter how powerful a person is, they will not be able to open the door to innovation.
Australian scientist Beveridge said: "Recognizing the existence of difficulties or problems may be recognizing the unsatisfactory status quo, which can stimulate the generation of ideas. People who are not curious are rarely stimulated by this." French writer France also said: "Curiosity makes scientists and poets." It can be seen that curiosity is the first key to open the door to success, and innovation is certainly no exception.
Rich and colorful life attracts our curiosity all the time.Looking at the great achievements of ancient and modern times, it is usually because their curiosity is stimulated, and finally created miracles that make people overwhelmed.Edison, known as the "King of Invention", had more than 1000 inventions in his life.How can a person who has only read books for three months have so many inventions?If you have heard the story of "Edison hatched chickens", you will understand that his success stems from his strong curiosity.
Dalton was a famous British chemist and physicist in the 18th century.One Christmas Eve, he bought his mother a pair of "brown gray" socks, but his mother said why he bought her a pair of cherry red socks.Dalton didn't think that his mother was joking with him, but had great doubts about his mother's question, so he ran to ask the people around him, and found that except his younger brother who had the same opinion as himself, the rest of them had the same opinion as his mother. Same, say cherry red.Dalton felt that this little thing was really unusual, and his curiosity about it was growing.After careful analysis and comparison, he found that his younger brother and his own color vision were different from others. It turned out that both his younger brother and himself were color blind.
Although Dalton was not a biologist or a medical scientist, he was the first person to discover color blindness and the first color blind patient to be discovered.After his comprehensive analysis, he wrote a paper "On Color Blindness", becoming the first person in the world to raise the issue of color blindness.
Be curious about simple and ordinary things, and conduct in-depth research, and miracles will appear in front of you.John Manson Brown once said: "Thank God I didn't harden my curiosity. Curiosity makes me want to know things big and small. Such curiosity is like clockwork, dynamo, jet engine. It gave me a new life." Yes, curiosity is extremely important to a person's vitality and creativity, it will rewrite your life, lead you to success, and let you create a miracle that has never been seen before.
Curiosity is a very valuable and even rare psychological quality, as Einstein said: "If a person no longer has a sense of surprise for novel and strange phenomena and the mysteries of the universe, he is tantamount to a walking dead. Your eyes must be blurry." So, walk into life with curiosity, you will create more miracles, and the light of life will be more brilliant.
