Some time ago, Ma Boyong's novel "The Lychee of Chang'an" was officially announced to be put on the film and television screen, and for a while, there were many people looking forward to it.
Because, we see ourselves in the protagonist Lee Sun-deok.
Li Shande, supervisor of the Shanghai Forestry Administration, a minor official of the nine grades, bought the first house in his life when he was over 40 years old.
Colleagues designed the game, and he was saddled with impossible tasks.
He wants to make sure that the concubine in Chang'an eats Lingnan's fresh lychees on her birthday.
Subject to the transportation logistics and preservation technology at that time, this is tantamount to fantasy.
Lee Sun-deok's life fell to a dead end because of this, but he did not sit still.
His next journey of overcoming obstacles made me see the 4 top thinking of people who have succeeded.
Positive thinking: Don't sing down, do your best
The shelf life of lychee is short, "the color changes in one day, the fragrance changes in two days, and the taste changes in three days." ”
Lingnan is more than 5,000 miles away from Chang'an, and even if it advances at an acceleration of 800 miles a day, it is difficult to rush to Chang'an before the lychee flavor changes. What's more, the mountains and rivers in the south are continuous, and the rider wants to speed up but can't reach it.
The more Li Shande thought about it, the more disheartened he became, because if he couldn't complete the task, he would lose his head.
His friend Han Wei persuaded him to reconcile with his wife as soon as possible and cut off his identity, so as not to harm his family in the future.
Du Fu enlightened him with inspirational stories, the finale has not yet arrived, how can he not fight against the water, and be captured?
In the face of two ways of doing things, Li Shande chose to believe in Du Fu.
It is not so much that Du Fu's words are more reasonable, but that his words are more in line with Li Shande's intentions.
There is naturally a pessimistic side to things, but Lee Sun-deok has a positive way of thinking.
Rather than resign himself to fate, he prefers to believe that things are done by man.
With this sense of belief, he crossed the horse to Lingnan, racking his brains for speed as he went.
He found that the alternating method of land and water transportation could save a lot of time.
It seems that things are not monolithic, as long as you look up and down with a positive and sunny mind, there is life to be found.
Mr. Tao Xingzhi once said:
"After a heavy rain, there are two kinds of people: those who look up at the sky and see the blue and beautiful, and those who look down at the ground and see the mud and despair. ”
The former has a positive way of thinking, while the latter is more likely to be held back by negative thinking.
From a positive point of view, the difficulty is a variable, and the stronger you are, the smaller it becomes. Not singing down, not being discouraged, having hope, and diligently exploring is the way to solve the problem.
Sometimes, what traps us is often not the "mud" of reality, but the "roadblock" in our minds.
Be wary of the "troublemaking" of negative thinking, let positive thinking become inertia, and only then can life move forward bravely.
Breakthrough thinking: Don't stop at the bottleneck, seek to break through
After more than 30 days of hard work, Li Shande arrived in Lingnan.
There was no time to rest, so he went deep into the fruit tree area to learn from the fruit farmers, hoping to make a breakthrough in preservation.
In the past, the preservation technique allowed the lychees to not deteriorate for three days, but Li Shande found a double-layered urn on Hu Shang's sea boat. With this kind of storage, the freshness of lychees can be extended to four days.
Later, he learned in the immersive experience of picking that lychees can be kept fresh for half a day.
This tip inspired him:
Since picking with branches can delay decay, direct cutting is bound to greatly extend the shelf life.
In the next experiment, Li Shande, with the help of "angel investor" Hu Shang Su Liang, sent multiple teams of people to find a "high-speed" route through continuous trial and error.
The experiment was carried out for the third time, and there was a key breakthrough.
The lychee tree is cut dry and placed in a double-layered urn, and on the seventh day, when the branches and leaves are withered, the fruit is plucked and the previous preservation technique is continued.
In this way, the shelf life of lychees can be extended to 11 days.
Although the horse team could only reach the Danjiang Estuary at this time, Li Shande already had a chance of winning.
At the moment, he has limited resources at his disposal. If the imperial court intervenes and initiates the highest level of logistics, then it is completely feasible to arrive in Chang'an within eleven days.
At this point, the bottleneck has been broken, the dead end has been solved, and Li Shande has broken through.
There is a good saying: "There is a dilemma in life called path dependence." ”
If you are trapped by past experience, stop at the current difficulties, and do not make new attempts, you will be trapped by bottlenecks.
Those who have achieved breakthroughs and made the impossible possible often have the courage to innovate and the game-breaking thinking of continuous trial and error.
Many problems are not unsolvable, but we have prematurely pronounced the impossible, abandoned multiple explorations, and imprisoned ourselves in the fog.
Regard obstacles as opportunities and believe that there are always more ways than difficulties, so that it is possible to solve the situation of recovery and usher in the bright future.
Borrowing thinking: Don't fight alone, know how to take a ladder
Li Shande returned to Chang'an with this major achievement, but he didn't expect that what greeted him was not a smiling face, but the mutual blame of various departments.
Li Shande looked confused, and his friend Han Wei nodded at him: As an official, you must know how to carry the sedan chair by everyone, and the credit is not taken care of, and others are willing to lend strength to you.
He suddenly realized that with his identity as a little lychee envoy, it was difficult for various departments to make orders be carried out immediately, and he would even be robbed of credit by people with ulterior motives.
With the help of the big guys, under the escort of the other party, let the plan be implemented, and it will be possible to make a difference.
Due to fate, Li Shande met Yang Guozhong, a high-ranking and powerful prince of the country.
He laid out the plan and the plan, and expressed his willingness to dedicate this credit to Yang Guozhong, in order to promote the harmony of the clan and the joy of the saints.
Li Shande borrowed a lot of money because of the concession, and Yang Guozhong gave him a silver medal, a pass that could not be hindered in the world.
Sure enough, all departments changed their attitudes, actively cooperated, and made suggestions.
Li Shande and his colleagues carefully planned, advanced at all levels, and quickly completed the deployment of the plan.
Xunzi said in "Persuasion" that a gentleman is good at all things.
"Those who fake horses are not good for their feet, but for thousands of miles, and those who are fake boats are not able to water, but they are not able to save rivers. ”
People must know how to make up for their own shortcomings with the help of external forces. It is the practice of a wise man to use chariots and horses to reach thousands of miles away, and to cross rivers and rivers by boats.
If you want to pick apples from a high place, you should build a ladder instead of wasting your energy jumping high.
Efforts are not meaningless, but we need to recognize our limitations. When you need foreign help, don't hesitate to borrow it, and things will go more smoothly.
There is no shame in borrowing strength, and it is a pity not to know how to complement each other's advantages, so that the plan can be aborted.
Reverse thinking: Don't just look forward, know how to look back
No matter how perfect the plan is, when it comes to implementation, there will inevitably be emergencies.
According to Lee's plan, the wilting of the branches of the lychee trees will occur after crossing the river, and the local post station will seamlessly serve ice cubes to keep the lychees fresh for another four days.
However, along the way, the disappearance of the double-layered urn, the emperor's temporary increase in the demand for lychees, and the escape of the post station personnel caused the plan to be delayed.
This means that the branches of the lychee tree will wither and will be advanced to Yuezhou Station south of the Yangtze River.
In Yuezhou, there is no ice for storage, and before arriving in Gangneung, the preservation of lychees will fall into a window period.
This is a fatal blow and is likely to fall short.
Thinking and meditating, there will be repercussions, and a dream activates Li Shande's reverse thinking:
Since the lychee can't get to the location of the ice cube, let the ice cube go to the lychee.
As soon as the thinking changes, the problem is solved.
Li Shande ordered the fleet to carry ice cubes upstream. When the lychee was transferred to Yuezhou Station, the ice arrived in time to complete the relay preservation.
Many times, we think we have fallen into a situation where there is no solution, but in fact, we are just stuck in the cage of thinking.
When sticking to old rules can't solve new problems, you might as well diverge your thinking and find answers in your infinite brains.
As Charlie Munger, who is good at thinking backwards, said, "Think forward, but also know how to look backwards, and think the other way around." ”
If you blindly look forward, you will become a blind spot in your vision, and you will have unexpected gains by looking back often and thinking backwards.
Friends who are familiar with photography know that shooting along the light makes the picture clear and bright, while the photo taken against the light is poetic and hazy. The direction is turned, and the style is very different.
Life is the same, in the face of difficulties, change your thinking in time and try from multiple angles to fight for more possibilities.
At the end of the novel, the concubine ate Lingnan fresh lychees on her birthday.
Li Shande turned the tables against the wind at the end of the road, which naturally benefited from the perseverance of his character and the flexibility of his thinking mode.
Schopenhauer said, "The greatest prison in the world is the consciousness of the human mind." ”
Stick to the old ways, live in the inertia of thinking, life is full of problems, bold exploration, dare to try and make mistakes, life will have answers.
Life is endless, and fighting monsters is endless. In the face of adversity, may you and I:
Do more positive thinking, before the outcome is decided, do your best before listening to the destiny of heaven; do not be discouraged, complain less, but actively act and seek breakthroughs;
When the strength is insufficient, learn to take advantage of the situation, let things have a beginning and an end, do not drill the horns of the bull, be flexible, and seek hope in the reversal of direction.
