On the road to invention, the need for reverse thinking, reverse thinking can create a lot of unexpected miracles on earth.

The washing machine dehydration cylinder, its shaft is soft, with a gentle push, the dehydration cylinder on the east side. However, the dewatering cylinder in the high-speed rotation, but very smooth, dehydration effect is very good. When the original design, in order to solve the dehydration cylinder shaking and the resulting noise problems, engineers and technicians thought of many ways, first thick shaft, ineffective, and then add a hard shaft, still ineffective. Finally, they came to a reverse thinking, abandon the hard on the soft, with a soft shaft instead of a hard shaft, successfully solved the two major problems of trembling and noise. This is a typical example of inventions born from reverse thinking.

The fourth:

An enterprise party committee to implement the differential election, the provisions of the 23 candidates from the election of 21 party committee members. The conventional method of operation is to issue ballots according to the number of party representatives, on the list of 23 candidates. Representatives get the ballots and "choose" the 21 candidates they agree with, after the vote, by the scrutineer for the counting of votes, and finally the 21 highest vote-getters were elected. No one has any objection to this common practice. However, it is an inefficient practice. For this problem, the use of reverse thinking, can be done this way: when you get the ballot, "choose" that they do not agree with the two, sing the votes, each ballot is sung only two times, and finally, whoever "more votes" who will be elected. In this way, each representative spends only one-tenth of the original time, each ballot paper singing time is also only one-tenth of the original, the election efficiency has increased tenfold. If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to realize that this practice not only improves efficiency, but also helps to enhance the sense of pressure and responsibility of the candidates and representatives. Selection of the 21 in favor, many people are from the beginning to the end of the tick, as long as it is not very unpleasant to follow the order of the tick down, the final result is often in the last position of the two candidates in the likelihood of losing the election is the greatest. This practice makes the unsuccessful candidates not very stressful, who let their own geographical location is not good. On the other hand, if the representative is required to choose two of the 23 candidates who he or she considers to be unsuitable, the pressure on the candidate is increased and he or she must pay close attention to his or her own image and improve his or her own inadequacies. For the delegates, they must think carefully and express their views responsibly.

"The total **** is worth over half a million dollars, is that enough?"

"Of course! Of course! But are you really only borrowing 1 dollar?"

"Yes, just 1 dollar."

"Then the interest rate is 6% per annum, and as long as you pay the interest on time, we'll return your collateral at maturity."

The old man finished the paperwork, took the borrowed $1 and was ready to leave the bank.

The branch chief, who had been watching with cold eyes, couldn't figure out how to: Why did the man with more than half a million dollars in collateral come to the bank to borrow 1 dollar? So he went after him to ask the truth. The old man laughed and said: "Before I came to your bank, I asked several vaults, and the rent of their safes was very expensive. So yeah, I'll just deposit these securities in your bank, the rent is really cheap, only 6 cents a year..."

Looking through the domestic and foreign scientific and technological literature, generators **** the same structure is a stator and a rotor, the stator does not move, the rotor rotates. And Su satellite invention? Two-way rotating generator? The stator also rotates, power generation efficiency than ordinary generators increased by four times. Su satellite said, I come to a reverse thinking, let the stator also? rotate. This is the basis of his invention of thinking, but also a major contribution to the creation of invention ideas.

To get a potential customer to test drive a car, you have to put the car in a car trader's showroom. The way to attract the dealer is to promote the new car in a large and attractive commercial way, so that the dealer himself is enthusiastic about the new model.
