The Application of Reverse Thinking in Life
It is said that reverse thinking can make people young. Everyone is next year, and next year is one year older than this year, so this year is one year younger than next year. Dealing with the elderly, such reverse thinking can make people live younger and younger; When dealing with young people, you can cherish your time and do your best.
There is a story in ancient China, in which a mother gave birth to two sons. The eldest son runs a cloth dyeing workshop and the younger son runs an umbrella business. Every day, the old mother is listless, afraid that the cloth dyed by her eldest son will not dry if it rains. It's sunny, and I'm afraid no one will buy the umbrella made by my youngest son. A neighbor inspired her to think backwards: on rainy days, the younger son's umbrella business is booming; When the weather is fine, the cloth dyed by the eldest son soon dries. Reverse thinking makes the old mother happy and energetic.
On the road of exploration, we need reverse thinking, which can create many unexpected monuments of human beings.
The rotating shaft of the washing machine's dewatering drum is soft. When you push it gently, the dewatering drum will fall apart. But when the dehydration cylinder rotates at high speed, it is very stable and the dehydration effect is very good. At the beginning of the design, in order to deal with the vibration of the dehydration cylinder and the noise caused by it, engineers and technicians thought about many steps. Thicken the shaft first, which is invalid, and then add a hard shaft, which is still invalid. Finally, they came up with a reverse thinking, abandoned hard and took soft, and replaced hard shaft with soft shaft, which successfully dealt with the two major problems of vibration and noise. This is a discovery norm derived from reverse thinking.
The traditional icebreaker breaks the ice by its own weight, so its head is made of recycled high-hardness materials, and its design is very clumsy, and it is very inconvenient to turn, so this icebreaker is very afraid that the water will drift sideways. Scientists in the former Soviet Union used reverse thinking to push the ice up instead of down, that is, let the icebreaker dive into the water and break the ice up from under the ice by buoyancy. The new icebreaker is well designed, which not only saves a lot of raw materials, but also does not need much power, and the tranquility is greatly improved. Touching the thick ice, the icebreaker moves up and down like a dolphin, and the ice breaking effect is very good. This kind of icebreaker is called "the most promising icebreaker of this century".
The "two-way rotating generator" discovered by China discoverer Su Satellite was born in 1994. In August of the same year, he won the gold medal of China Hi-tech Cup, which attracted the attention of TIPS organizations in affiliated countries. 1996, a large Danish company tried to buy out its patent for 3 million yuan, which shows that its discovery cost is huge. When it comes to the discovery of "two-way rotating generator", it is also due to reverse thinking. Looking through the scientific and technological literature in the sea, the cooperative structure of generators is that each generator has a stator and a rotor, and the stator does not move when the rotor moves. The stator of the "two-way rotating generator" discovered by Su Satellite is also moving, and the power generation efficiency is four times higher than that of ordinary generators. Su said: "I think backwards and let the stator' rotate' too. This is the basic idea of his discovery, and it is also a great filial piety of his creation and discovery thought.
Japan is an economic power, but it is also a resource-poor country, so they advocate thrift very much.
When reverse thinking copiers devour a lot of paper, they operate on both sides of a blank sheet of paper, one on top of the other, saving half. Ricoh scientists in Japan are not satisfied with this. They found a "heavy copier" through reverse thinking. After the copy paper passed through it, the pictures and texts on it disappeared. Restore from scratch to a blank sheet of paper. In this way, a piece of white paper can be reused many times, which not only creates property and saves resources, but also sets up a new cost concept: thrift is of course important, and innovation is even more embarrassing.
In the mid-1960s, Iacocca, then the deputy general manager of a Ford branch, was looking for ways to improve the company's performance. He believes that the panacea to achieve this goal lies in the introduction of a new type of car with bold design that can arouse public interest. After determining that the owner is the one who finally decides whether it is successful or not, he began to draw a blueprint for the plan. Here is how Iacocca started from the owner and pushed back to the pace of designing a new car: the only way for the owner to buy a car is to test drive. In order for potential customers to test drive, it is necessary to put the car in the exhibition hall of the car dealer. The step to attract business operators is to hold limited and attractive trade promotion activities for new cars, so that business operators are full of enthusiasm for new models. In fact, before the marketing activity begins, he must make a car and send it to the dealer's exhibition hall. In order to achieve this goal, he needs 100% support from the company's marketing and production departments. At the same time, he also realized that the manufacturers, manpower, equipment and raw materials needed to produce automobile molds have to be selected by the company's top management. Iacocca determined the list of people who had to ask for permission in order to reach the policy, and then reversed the whole process and moved forward again. A few months later, Iacocca's new car Mustang was produced from the assembly line and was all the rage in the 1960s. Its success also made Iacocca the vice president of Ford's entire automobile and truck group.
Reverse thinking not only played an unexpected role in modern life, but also appeared during the war, successfully breaking through the enemy's various barriers and sending important information to the target. The work is like this: During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in eight years, once the enemy besieged a village and refused to let anyone go out, and sent a puppet army to guard the only passage to the outside world in the village-a small bridge. It happened that the village had an important piece of information to report to the leaders of the Eighth Route Army outside the village. With the enemy under such close surveillance, how could he send it out smoothly and peacefully? A small eighth road in the village bravely continued this task. At dusk, this little eighth road took advantage of the care of the night and sneaked into the reed field next to the bridge to hide. He carefully investigated everything that happened on the small bridge. He noticed that the enemy guarding the checkpoint was dozing off. Whenever people from outside the village come, he always says without looking up, "Go home, go home, no entry in the village!" " "So many times, Xiaoba Road had an idea in his heart, so Xiaoba Road, drilling out reeds, secretly approached and got on the bridge. Just before the enemy spoke with his head held high, he turned and walked towards the slant of the village, deliberately making his footsteps quite loud. When the enemy heard this, he said without looking up, go home, go home, and the village won't let him in. The effect of Xiaoba Road is that it passed smoothly and sent the message peacefully. This shows how important it is to learn and use reverse thinking flexibly!
