Speaking of involution, everyone shook their heads and sighed.
For a while, driverless taxis became popular, but many online car-hailing drivers fell into a panic.
A driver said, "In two years, there will be no way to live." ”
In the early years, the emergence of online car-hailing made traditional taxi drivers very dissatisfied.
The cake is so big, you take a share, I'll take a share, what's the matter?
Studying, going on to higher education, taking public examinations, saving, buying a house, farming, opening a store...... It seems that all walks of life are rolled up. If you run to the ends of the earth, you will not see the scenery at all because there are too many people.
There is no doubt that low-level involution is no longer valuable. We need to go high and turn the involution into the outer, into the motivation, into the opportunity.
In an involuted society, if you have the following kinds of thinking, it means that you are quite smart.
01
Selling water thinking: When there are more and more people in an industry, "people" are your wealth.
In the valley, someone found natural gold.
As soon as the news spread, the people who came to pan for gold flew like bees.
The valley was densely packed with people, and some people were holding gold and shouting for joy; Some people are empty-handed, unwilling, and continue to dig deeper.
Just then, a merchant brought several boxes of water. Thirsty gold diggers, buy it all out.
The merchant did not go to pan for gold, but he dug up a pot of gold by selling water, which is the thinking of selling water.
By analogy, it can also be judged that the businessman started a lunch box business, bathing services, tool storage, etc.
Yes, it doesn't make much sense for you to keep joining when an industry is overcrowded. But if there are more people, then "people" themselves are business opportunities.
Everyone has to eat, drink, and sleep, which is a rigid need and the source of business.
When you find a way to serve the crowd, then you have found a different path in a hot industry.
Everyone flocks to buy mobile phones, and you provide mobile phone case services, mobile phone identification technology, etc.
In a place, suddenly a large group of people come to see the scenery, and you give everyone food and water, and provide transportation.
When there are a lot of restaurants popping up on a street, you don't want to sell food, go to the parking service.
In the park, the aunts and uncles are dancing, you don't have to rush to drive them, you can organize their competitions, and at the same time you provide dance costumes and professional dance teachers.
It has been said, "The wealth of the rich is that of the poor." This sentence is not absolutely true, but the wealth of the rich is related to "people", and it is absolutely true.
A group of people who are pressed by the black, everyone gives you a few dollars, it's amazing.
02
Sour Apple Thinking: When a batch of things goes bad, the "waste" is your wealth.
Teacher Dong Yuhui told a story.
When he was in his hometown, the apples in the orchard fell due to strong winds.
Apples are not ripe, they are sour, and no one wants them.
While he was sighing, Grandma gathered the sour apples and made them into apple cider vinegar.
This year, their family's orchard did not lose much income.
This is the sour apple thinking - what becomes bad, in fact, in the eyes of smart people, can be turned into treasure.
We often mock a beautiful woman: "Flowers are stuck in cow dung." ”
But in the eyes of some people, flowers are to be inserted in cow dung, nutrition can be guaranteed, if flowers are inserted in a pure water cup, it is estimated that they will not live for a few days.
Waste is a relative concept and is valuable.
According to the record of "The Ruling and Opposition Records": "The world is worthy of its business, and the family wealth is huge." ”
During the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City was very large and had a lot of people, so a lot of feces were produced.
How to dispose of feces has become an official problem.
A person named Luo Hui, who finds a business opportunity and takes the initiative to clean up the manure, can get official rewards on the one hand, sell fertilizer to the countryside on the one hand, and gain merit on the other.
After years of hard work, he also became a wealthy man.
Now, in the city, there are still some dung diggers, and their income is not low.
Back to the real society, some industries have been crowded by everyone for a while, and the profits are meager and they can't play anymore. As a result, shops in the industry have closed down one after another, and some people have lost their jobs.
If you do the acquisition work, then the things in the store can be obtained cheaply, and after being transformed, it is wealth; When you open an employment agency, you can also turn the unemployed into your wealth.
Good and evil are just a thought; It's up to you to decide whether it's good or bad.
03
Long-term thinking: When a group of middle-aged people are eating, drinking, and having fun, "learning" is your wealth.
There's a saying, "Get through it, and you'll win." ”
Yes, the people around you can't stand it, and you can still make it up, then you are the final winner.
But how? It's not brute force, it's ingenuity.
A group of middle-aged women, in order to make a living, went to set up a fruit stall. Everyone's purchase channels and sales objects are similar, so the business competition is particularly fierce.
A woman found that there were a lot of foreigners in the city, so she secretly learned English.
She can always communicate with foreigners in English, so foreigners like her, so her business is very good.
In a museum, there are many security guards, and everyone lives on a salary, and there is no way out.
A security guard who learned the art of taking pictures. On the day when he rested, he went to the museum to help people take pictures, and naturally had a side job.
Yes, if a person is not afraid of not studying, he is afraid that he will not be able to study in society.
Middle-aged people have long since stepped out of society and left books. Those who can keep picking up the book, that's the great character.
Learning through books, accumulating your own experience, and learning the methods of superior people can make you stand out from a level.

The reason why it is difficult for a person to walk is because he has chosen a conventional path, a path that everyone agrees with. This is the beginning of entering the involution.
A smart person always chooses to go the wrong way, and in the era of routines, he does not play cards according to routines.
When the crowd is surging, everyone is crowded around, sweating, but there are always people on the side, staying awake and forming their own cognition.
The door that can be rolled up is often a very low threshold and looks good, but the profit in it is precarious. You should think differently and dare to cross the threshold that others dare not cross.
There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart.
