Why focus must also break the mold for innovation?

The dog family out of a very ambitious very ambitious puppy, it announced to the whole family to go across the big desert, all the dogs ran to congratulate it. In a cheer, this puppy with enough food, water ...... and so on on the road. Three days later, suddenly came the news of the puppy's unfortunate death.

What caused this very desirable puppy to lose his life? Food, and plenty of it; and water in the kettle. Later, after an autopsy, it was discovered that the puppy had been suffocated by urine, because a dog must pee only by a tree trunk or a pole, and there were no trees or poles in the great desert; the poor puppy suffocated for three days in a row, and was eventually suffocated to death.

This fable tells us that the dog was bound by old habits and lost his life. The man who waited for the rabbit was even more disgraced by generations of people. He picked up a rabbit by chance and hit a tree stump and died, so he waited by the stump with all his heart and soul, ready to pick up another one.

In fact, in the real workplace, many people who hold on to old traditions and lack the spirit of innovation are not few.

The sales representatives of two European shoe factories went to Africa to explore the market. The weather in Africa is hot, so the residents have always been barefoot, the first salesman to see the scene of great disappointment, the next day will return home. The other salesman was pleasantly surprised: "So many people have no shoes to wear, there must be a big market!" So he informed the headquarters to immediately consign 1,000 pairs of leather shoes, and then try to guide Africans to wear leather shoes, buy leather shoes, and he achieved outstanding results.

The same is the face of barefoot Africans, and no one can say that the first salesman is not focused on the work (otherwise he would not have to go to Africa). So why is there such a big difference between two people who are equally focused on their work? It's the world of difference between innovation and conformity. From this, we can see that if you want to build a bright future in the workplace, you have to break the mold and innovate at the same time as you focus.

Because the entire market is dynamic, knowledge is constantly increasing, the work of the problems faced in the change, which requires a breakthrough in the perspective of problem solving, and human thinking habits are fixed in the traditional "desktop" - by the industry, the rules and regulations of the boundaries. Human thinking habits are fixed on the traditional "desktop" - by the rules and regulations of the industry bound by the "seems to be taken for granted" confused, then, the work of the efficiency and progress will inevitably be affected, and will even lose without a fight. On the contrary, focusing on work while daring to break the routine, dare to try to solve the problem with innovative wisdom, will inevitably bring greater achievements.

Looking at the successful people who call the shots in the workplace, they are generally not the kind of people who stick to the old ways, but those who are able to consider all kinds of problems from an innovative standpoint. It can be said that sometimes the more focused the conformist is, the farther he is from the shore of success.

Concentration gathers all the energy of an individual; innovation finds shortcuts to problems. Only when the two complement each other can we achieve more outstanding results. But remember, innovation is not the same as whimsy; innovation to a certain theoretical or practical basis as a prerequisite, while whimsy is a subjective imagination. There is no innovative spirit of concentration, can only stick to the old ways in a road to black.
