Examples of reverse thinking

1. Sima Guang smashed the vat

When someone fell into the water, the conventional thinking mode was to "save the person out of the water", but when faced with the emergency, Sima Guang used reverse thinking and decisively He smashed the jar with a stone to "let the water escape" and saved his friend's life.

2. The law of electromagnetic induction

In 1820, Oersted, a physics professor at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, discovered the magnetic effect of electric current through many experiments. After this discovery spread to the European continent, it attracted many people to participate in electromagnetic research. The British physicist Faraday repeated Oersted's experiment with great interest. Sure enough, as long as the wire is passed through current, the magnetic needle near the wire will deflect immediately. He was deeply attracted by this strange phenomenon.

3. Benefits

One person made a deposit at night. It happened that the ATM machine broke down and 10,000 yuan was swallowed up. He immediately contacted the bank and was told to wait until dawn. He racked his brains and suddenly An idea struck, and I called customer service from a public phone, saying that the ATM dispensed an extra 3,000 yuan. Maintenance personnel arrived 5 minutes later.

The reason why others don’t help you is because their interests are not affected. Find a way to connect your problems with his interests so that you can attract the other person's attention.

4. Taking Advantage

A cafeteria was inefficient due to serious customer waste. The restaurant had no choice but to impose a fine of 10 yuan on anyone who wasted food. As a result, the business plummeted, and was later mentioned. The price will be increased by ten yuan, and the rules will be changed to: Anyone who does not waste food will be rewarded with ten yuan! As a result, business is booming and wasteful behavior has been eliminated. Don't let customers "suffer", you must let them take advantage.

5. Buying vegetables

The uncle bought tomatoes and picked 3 tomatoes and put them on the scale. The stall owner weighed them: "1 and a half catties, 3 yuan and 7". The uncle said, "You don't need that much to make soup." After removing the largest tomatoes, the stall owner said, "One catty, two taels, three yuan." Just when I wanted to remind the uncle to pay attention to the scale, the uncle calmly took out 70 cents, picked up the big tomato that had just been removed, turned around and left.
