Newton rested under the apple tree, and an apple fell, so he discovered the law of universal gravitation—whether true or not, the truth is not difficult to understand:
Careers are busy, but the vast majority of things that are really valuable are thought out when they are not busy. Although it is necessary to be busy, even when everyone is busy, everyone is similar, but knowing how to create value when not busy may be the decisive factor in the gap between people and people.
If you've experienced mercedes-Benz's new C-Class, you'll understand that the idea of "sitting in your comfort zone" doesn't mean lying flat, but emphasizes the opposite of "anxiety": self-consistency.
In this information overloaded society, too many people tell you what to do: "When the times abandon you, they don't even say goodbye", "Your peers are abandoning you".
So, what is "self-consistency"?
My understanding is: accept completely. That is, if I accept "me as me" itself completely, even if the times abandon me and my peers abandon me, what will I do?
Mercedes-Benz explains this kind of contemporary self-consistency: people are no longer anxious because of external expectations and evaluations, but adhere to their own direction and choices, have a strong heart, and build their own "comfort zone". Other words:
Those who are self-consistent are those who accept the present moment and truly experience the "comfort zone" that they have built, who are people who know how to brew the next round of bursts from "comfort", who are strong in their hearts, who have real power.
They are not anxious people dominated by external evaluation and finger-pointing. The power they have can also be summed up as "self-confidence."
In Chengdu, almost everyone has seen the giant panda lying on the upper floor of IFS, and on the platform square on the seventh floor of IFS, the head of the giant panda has become the most famous punch card holy place in Chengdu, where a sign reads:
The center of the universe.
We can't argue where the real "center of the universe" is, but chengduers call it the "center of the universe." Whether it is a playful tone or a serious tone, this is a self-confidence that belongs to the city of Chengdu.
As a foreigner who has lived in Chengdu for 16 years, it is difficult to hide the pride in driving a new Mercedes-Benz long-wheelbase C-Class with foreign friends through the city.
In addition to recommending many delicious food, Chengdu's various service levels have also won the hearts of the people: reflecting the true colors of urban residents living and working in peace and contentment;
This is a city with the highest night consumption in the country, and the traffic jam in the city center in the second half of the night makes friends from other places intuitively feel the vitality of the city. But behind the delicious and good tricks of "always being imitated and never surpassed", how many practitioners have paid hard and even created the results with a sense of ingenuity?
In the "New Fashion Capital Index Report" released by Vogue Business in China in 2020, Chengdu ranked first without controversy, but if there is no steady economic development and income improvement, what is supporting the "fashion consumption strength" and the endless flow of people in Taikoo Li and IFS?
Only by working very hard can it be effortless in the eyes of others. If packaging some nihilistic concepts can become a "net red city", then why can Chengdu rank among the top three national destinations for a long time among the national tourist cities? Confidence and strength are indispensable.
Therefore, in my eyes, Chengdu, on the level of comfort and the "comfort zone" advocated by the new Mercedes-Benz long-wheelbase C-class, can find resonance from the depths:
They are all confident because of their self-consistency. They are self-consistent not because they are naturally lucky, but because they really work hard enough.
How far has Mercedes-Benz's new C-Class worked? As early as the Chengdu Motor Show, our special writer Pan Gong described the air outlet of the new C-class in a long text after seeing the debut of the new C-class. He concludes:
This is not an outlet for the average brand to work hard to do. It reflects a certain stubbornness and persistence of Mercedes-Benz in building cars that are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
At the static tasting session of the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class, I happened to see the dissection of the air conditioner outlet. In addition to the chromium-sensitive metal material on the outside and the texture of the inner wall to make the touch more delicate, I also saw how Mercedes-Benz embedded the ambient light strip into the inner wall with a tight seam.
As for the angle and switch of the air conditioner, in addition to vision, Mercedes-Benz is also obsessed with three things - the sound should be particularly crisp, the touch should be excellent, and the damping force should be consistent during rotation. The three little things, related to the driver's sense of hearing, touch and perception (the perception formed by the feedback of hand strength in the brain), requires not only more costs, but also how much effort it takes to achieve.
Inside the anatomical piece, I saw the small but still well-made three-pronged star emblem, the three-dimensional concave and convex relief, carving out the pride of a 135-year-old brand, and also carving out a brand's attitude of pouring faith into every part.
If a person has such an attitude towards everything in his hands, will he still have self-doubt?
During the ride, you will be easily impressed by such details.
Another example is the most dazzling wooden finish in the front row. In order to keep the wood warm, Mercedes-Benz did not use a closed topcoat, and its finish shape led a generation of global wood design trends. The new C-Class is equipped with a set of top-of-the-line wood finishes: the laminated surface of basswood and aluminum foil, which is bonded from a 0.5 mm thin veneer to an aluminum foil patch and then extruded to achieve the effect of filling the linden finish with aluminum foil lines. The addition of aluminum foil lines not only makes the pure wood finish more visually impactful, but also makes the touch more abundant.
This unique visual effect is a luxurious experience. What is Luxury? When people rush to create a certain aura that can be presented from ten meters away, or create a sense of luxury in advertising films – Mercedes-Benz tells the industry that luxury comes from a fine to 0.5 mm fine detail, luxury is about some certainty that can be transmitted to the brain from the fingertips, the tip of the nose, or even without the eyes.
Even if you sit in the back of the new long-wheelbase C-Class, even if you are blindfolded, you can accurately judge what "comfort" is from the message conveyed by the somatosensory feeling: the rear seat cushions increase by 22 mm in thickness and length by 14 mm, and the sitting and support are improved again; while the head support is just right, the small headrest derived from Maybach has a small suede leather surface, and the interior is sponge and down padding. Without sacrificing safety, Mercedes-Benz has made a set of seat headrests on the new C-Class that are truly reminiscent of "pillows".
Whether it's the front or the back, whether you're open or closed, you can get a feel for why it's "in your comfort zone" the moment you step into a Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
In the first four years of growth, bamboo will only grow about 3 centimeters in total, but from the fifth year onwards, it will grow at a rate of 30 centimeters per day.
So, hibernation is also part of growth, even a necessary part; so, stop for better and faster running.
In such a context, comfort is never lying flat, and even after the test drive I would say,
The "comfort zone" of the new Mercedes-Benz long-wheelbase C-Class is a nod to "not lying flat".
But, when you want to stop, it understands you best.
Just like your best friend, not necessarily the one who cheers you on with chicken blood anytime and anywhere, he will definitely tell you to be kind to yourself and take care of your body.
When this era tells you to catch up, to run with all your might, not to stop,
The all-new Mercedes-Benz long wheelbase C-Class in this fall of 2021, in Chengdu, tells you:
You want the kind of luxury that hits the soul level, and the comfort that only those true friends understand,
I'll give it to you.
