You may have advised others to "think of the good" but you may not know that there are many people who get unexpected gains by "thinking of the good".
The Soviet scientist Leonov accidentally put wine on a tablecloth one day while eating. Later, he wanted to wash it off, but he couldn't always wash it clean, and just when he was worried about it, he was worried: grape juice is difficult to wash off, can't it just be made into dye? So he invented the "grape dye" that uses hydrochloric acid solution as an additive to make the color more stable.
In 1928, Alexander Fleming, a professor of bacteriology at the University of London, was studying the propagation and growth of pathogenic bacteria. One day he found that the Pedoli dish that had cultivated the pathogen was covered with penicillium, and that the pathogens in the dish were dead.
Fleming thought that the bacteria in the dish had been killed by penicillium, that is, mold had ruined his research plan, but he was not discouraged, but thought that this mold could be used to kill germs. He turned to culturing this mold and studying its effects on human white blood cells, and finally extracted the world's first antimicrobial penicillin from it. The development of penicillin has brought pharmaceutical production into the era of antibiotics.
While people were happy about the advent of antibiotics, one scholar was remorseful. It turned out that he had also seen this penicillium in the experiment, but he was careless because penicillium hindered his research, and he abandoned it as if it were a mistake, and the opportunity to discover penicillin was lost
Peking Opera master Ma Lianliang became hoarse due to illness in his early years, which was a disaster for the actors who sang Peking Opera! However, he made full use of this voice and created a mapai style with low returns and a long aftertaste, which was unique in the Peking Opera circle, thus becoming one of the "Four Great Su sheng".
Leonov, Fleming, and Mariennes were "blessed by misfortune" because they "thought of good." These examples illustrate that the ills are relative, the disadvantages may be advantages, the disadvantages may be the benefits, and the defects may be the characteristics.
There are many more such examples:
Smoke insects are harmful to health, but scientists use it to reduce the fertility of female rats, so as to achieve the purpose of inhibiting rat infestation; on the other hand, the rapid reproduction of rats is one of the reasons why rat infestation is difficult to control, but for scientists who need to use a large number of animals to do experiments, this is another advantage; some flying insects are always nuisance by the lamp, annoying, but in agriculture, they use this "phototropism" of insects to trap and kill insects;
The severed arm of the statue of Venus adds a mysterious beauty to her; the Leaning Tower of Pisa is famous for its flawed foundation tilt; and the wrongly printed stamps have become a sought-after commodity in the philatelic market;
Brazilian star Galincha, who was Pele's contemporary, had two legs and a short leg, but he made a passing move that was difficult for normal people to complete; the small eyes of Hong Kong singer Lin Yilian made her unique in the entertainment industry;
Lead and tin have a low melting point and cannot be used as wires, but they can also be made into fuses.
"Zhuangzi" also said that the small branches of the tree are bent and curved, and the trunk is too many knots, which is useless wood, but because of some defects, no one cuts it, and as a result, it grows into a big tree, which has a special use for people to cool off.
So when something gets in your way, don't abandon it, maybe it will help symmetrically on another occasion; when something bothers you, you should think, can you use it in a different way? When you find something defective, have you ever wondered if you can use it to make something unique?
Remember: when you run into any trouble, don't think about the benefits!
