The creativity nurtured by people's thoughts is infinite, and this infinite creativity sometimes leads to the miracle of "there is no way to recover from the mountains and heavy waters, and it is necessary to have a bright future."
Three people, A, B and C, went to a company to take the exam. The company had a problem: sell as many wooden combs as possible to monks within ten days. Monks are shaved and bald. What's the use of a wooden comb? All three people feel embarrassed. Ten days later, the three returned to a job. A gentleman said with grievances: Ten days of hardship, only L wooden combs were sold, or a monk moved out of compassion to buy them. Mr. B said: I told the pilgrims to tidy up their clothes and not blaspheme. The host thought it was reasonable to buy 1 wooden combs. It was Mr. C's turn, and he said unhurriedly: I have sold 1 wooden combs, but they still can't meet the demand, and they need to be delivered as soon as possible. Everyone was dumbfounded at this. Mr. C explained: All pilgrims are pious. If the word "Ji Shan" is engraved on the wooden comb and given to the pilgrims, these good men will believe in women, but they will comb 3, troubles, and the blue lights will be yellow and the dust will be off, which will show that I am merciful. Upon hearing this, the abbot was overjoyed. This move spread widely, and the temple not only spread far and wide, but also gathered pilgrims to "accumulate good combs." When everyone listened, they were deeply enlightened and admired Mr. C's move.
Although this is a story, there are many enlightenments in it. Selling wooden combs to monks depends on marketing. For us, its way of thinking is very instructive.
enough innovation courage. In foreign countries, many successful people have nicknames of "madman" and "fighter". They are unique in their academic career and life, and dare to be the first crab eater, which shows the courage to break with common sense.
strong desire for innovation. Selling a large number of wooden combs to monks relies on a strong desire to be employed. With this desire, it is conducive to exerting innovative talents. The creativity nurtured by people's thoughts is infinite, and this infinite creativity sometimes leads to the miracle of "there is no way to recover from doubts, and there is another village in the dark." And the biggest obstacle to progress is often what people have mastered. In history, France was addicted to the military theory of the Napoleonic era, while Poland was attached to the traditional cavalry tactics, and both of them paid a heavy price. Only by breaking the shackles of thinking and traditional ideas can by going up one flight of stairs be achieved.
a lasting driving force for innovation. Lafarge, a French mathematician who won the Fields Medal not long ago, has studied the problems that his predecessors have studied, but he persevered and never gave up. Although he experienced many setbacks, he persisted for six years and finally succeeded. If you want to succeed, if you don't have this spirit of not giving up until you reach your goal, you will try a little and give up halfway. In the final analysis, this practice is often caused by impetuous emotions and quick success.
superb innovative wisdom. In the era of knowledge economy, the scientific and technological content of various products is getting higher and higher, and the "smart products" with intelligence and knowledge as the core are competitive. It can be said that there is a way for those who have wisdom. The gap between Mr. C and the other two is essentially the gap of wisdom. His idea of selling combs is full of wisdom. He fully considered the various psychological states and environmental factors of Buddhists, seized the "selling point" and met the needs of monks and pilgrims. This shows that innovation also has laws to follow. As long as we grasp the essential connection of things, we can get a regular understanding of innovation.
