What does it mean to break the conventional reverse thinking?

Conventional thinking often shows a fixed pattern, sticking to the rules and doing things according to the rules, and often there is only one thinking angle and one conventional direction. If you want to achieve great things, you must break away from convention and be good at using reverse thinking.

The chance of success lies in breaking the routine and making good use of the contradiction of thinking.

Sima Guang, a political scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty, was witty as a child. One day, he was playing with some children in the garden. A child accidentally fell into a big water tank, and the children panicked for a while. Someone shouted, "Somebody, help!" Some people desperately want to save their drowning friends. Sima Guang used his quick wits to pick up a stone and smashed the water tank. The water ran away and the child was saved.

It is not difficult to see that after the children fell into the water tank, most children saved people with conventional thinking, but in this game, Sima Guang adopted unconventional game strategies. He smashed the water tank with "reverse thinking", thus turning the corner and saving the child. It can be seen that sometimes thinking with "reverse thinking" is more conducive to solving problems.

Obviously, the obvious characteristics of reverse thinking are not playing cards according to the routine, not following the rules, showing uniqueness and being good at thinking from different angles. When thinking is blocked in one direction, they immediately change to a new direction and analyze and coordinate the results of their own thinking, so as to find a new breakthrough. And that "new direction" is often the "dead corner" of conventional thinking. Because conventional thinking is often manifested as a set pattern, sticking to the rules and doing things according to the rules, and often there is only one thinking angle and one conventional direction.

Obviously, these are two completely different opposites. But reverse thinking will only attract people's attention if it appeals to language, and usually, when it leaves language and returns to real life, it will soon be forgotten by people. Real life is like a giant digestive machine. Once the reverse thinking is put in, it is easy to melt away. For reverse thinking, conventional thinking seems to have a strong assimilation effect, just like the assimilation of Jianlibao teenagers by China national football team, which has been completed unconsciously.

Traditional thinking has such a powerful force. As a "set" and a "routine", it itself proves that it has a long history and is deeply rooted. It is not only an individual problem, but also closely related to the cultural traditions of the whole nation and society. Those conventional stereotypes are often the precipitation of generations of traditions, which is also the source of their powerful power. It is precisely because of this strong social and historical backing that its status is difficult to shake easily.

As a society, it cannot live without a series of order norms, and this is the social basis of "convention", that is, the so-called "framework". And our "reverse thinking" is to find a foothold in this strict framework. There is no doubt that this is a very difficult job. If you don't pursue it deliberately, you can't get rid of the "routine".

People who dare to pursue "reverse thinking" will often achieve something and gain a reputation in society.

Once, the king asked Afandi, "If there is money on one side and justice on the other, which one do you choose?" Afandi unexpectedly replied: "I am willing to choose money." The king was greatly surprised: "What's the use of money? Justice is hard to come by! "

Avanti went on to say, "whoever lacks something will get what he wants." What I lack is money, so I want money; " What you lack is justice, so you want justice. "

That kind of unexpected game thinking made the king who wanted to fool the two generations of love not know how to deal with it for a while, and his position gradually changed from "master" to "guest". When the two generations of love make pretentious explanations, we can't help but "pity" the king who changed from master to guest.

Reverse thinking is like a gorgeous rainbow in the sky. No matter when and where it appears in the sky, it arouses people's heartfelt admiration and yearning.

Nowadays, reverse thinking has long been the object of admiration in all walks of life, especially in the hottest industrial and commercial circles. The so-called profit source and innovation in the mouth of economists and managers is actually an appeal to reverse thinking. Innovation requires people to seize opportunities that others ignore, which is different from invention. Generally speaking, it just uses some existing things, and the value of these existing things is usually imperceptible to conventional thinking. So as an entrepreneur, the most important requirement is to have the ability to innovate. Because innovation is profit, for entrepreneurs themselves, innovation is success.

Therefore, reverse thinking has its unique and great value in daily life and in the highly competitive industrial and commercial circles. If you want to succeed, you must break the routine and stimulate your own reverse thinking.
