How to challenge conventional thinking?

◆Written by Anonymous

There are always countless choices to be made on the road of life, and there is a great deal of risk involved in every life-defining turning point. And after the risk, there are usually two results: success or failure. Success is comforting, while failure leaves people bewildered.

Not every change results in success, but every success is the result of change. There was a president of Harvard University who had a metal plate hanging on his wall with a drawing of a tortoise on it, next to which was written, "Watch out for this tortoise; he can only move forward by sticking his neck out." There is no doubt that the turtle is risky behavior by sticking out his neck; it is safest to shrink into his hard shell. However, if it cannot move forward without sticking out its head, and if it cannot eat food without sticking out its head, then it will only end up dead.

The path of life, if you choose to stay put, is equal to giving up, is equal to failure. Only by going out will we gain and make progress. When we go to school, we have to choose to rely on the survival of the profession, perhaps a few years later found that they are not suitable; work, we have to choose to suit their own development of the profession, although they can not see the future; adult, we have to choose to accompany their lifelong companion, although it is not necessarily true that we can love each other to eternity ...... we want to survive, to move forward, we have to choose , it is inevitable to take all kinds of risks.

In 1862, Nobel began his research on nitroglycerin. It was a grueling journey full of danger and sacrifice. Death was with him at all times. After a long period of research, he finally found a very easy to cause the explosion of the substance - mercury fulminate, he used mercury fulminate made of explosives detonator, successfully solved the problem of explosives detonation, which is the invention of the detonator. It is a major breakthrough on the road of Nobel science.

Breaking mountain development, river excavation, railroad construction and tunnel excavation, need a lot of high explosives, so the introduction of nitroglycerin is generally welcomed. But this kind of explosives stored for a long time will decompose, strong vibration will also cause an explosion, in the transportation and storage process has occurred in many accidents. Sweden and some other countries issued a ban on the transportation and storage of Nobel's invention of explosives, and explicitly proposed to hold Nobel legally responsible. Nobel was not intimidated, and he invented a safe explosive with diatomaceous earth as the absorber on the basis of repeated research. Two years later, a new type of gummy explosives mixed with gunpowder cotton and nitroglycerin was successfully developed. The new explosive not only has efficient explosive power, but also safer, in the scientific and technological community by the general attention. Nobel has achieved in front of the achievements did not stop, when he was informed of the superiority of smokeless gunpowder, and then into the development of mixed smokeless gunpowder, and in a short period of time to develop a new type of smokeless gunpowder.

Because the world is full of unpredictable things, full of risk and uncertainty. Therefore, each of us at the new beginning of our life should take the wind and waves in front of us calmly, and we should learn to survive in the crisis and turn the danger into a safe place in order to realize our dreams in the end.
