Everyone who strives for success wants to succeed, and even people who don't want to work hard will want to succeed. But the reality is that success always belongs to a minority, and the people who have achieved great success are even rarer.
The lack of imagination is another big reason why many people are unsuccessful.
Don't be discouraged, in the real world, it is not difficult to see that many people do not lack knowledge and skills; however, most people often have to do repetitive work, and only a few people can make innovative results.
It is a lie not to want to invent, and it is not necessary to innovate, the key is that people do not think of it because of their lack of imagination. If someone is willing to tell people how to innovate, most people can make innovative results.
I have seen this phenomenon a lot, "Listening to the words of the king is better than reading ten years of books." "It's more than just a slogan. If you don't believe it, you can try it, tell someone about your innovative idea or approach, and look at the results to see if there is anyone who can do it faster and better than you, and I'm sure facts speak louder than words.
First, the manifestation of lack of imagination
Lack of imagination affects the brain's ability to remember. Imagination is the gateway to image thinking, image thinking controls image memory, and more than 90% of the information remembered in the brain is image information.
Therefore, people who lack imagination often have poor memory ability.
If this person is a driver, if you go out without a map, you are likely to find no way back, and you may not be able to turn around in a big city.
I had seen such a driver, and after turning a few streets, I told him that he was back in the same place, but he couldn't believe it, and when he came to the place of departure, he only patted his head. In the end, I had to ask him to show him the way before he reached his destination.
I also found some interesting phenomena in my work: those left-handed "left-handed" people who look for mechanical faults and repairs are much faster than the average person, and the quality of repairs is also better. "Left-handed" people can often "opportunistically" when working, the same amount of work they complete easier, when others are still busy and happy, they can be busy and idle.
In addition, I also found that "left-handed" people can often make new tricks when cooking meals, so that you can change your appetite. Through conversation, I found that the imagination of "left-handed" people is much richer than that of a group of people. However, they are also very easy to make trouble, because their emotions are richer than others, generally I do not screw with them, which will affect the work, and it will be much easier to guide them.
I'm not doing psychological research, but as captain I have to understand everyone's emotions, so that the work will be much more harmonious and the work efficiency will be much higher; as a result, everyone is very happy.
Second, the consequences of a lack of imagination
People who lack imagination will have a low ability to innovate, which seriously restricts the exertion of personal talents and makes many people unable to do anything big in their lifetime.
But don't get discouraged, because imagination can be cultivated. Through scientific exercise, the imagination can be gradually improved. The specific methods will be introduced in detail in future articles.
Lack of imagination is a very common phenomenon in China today, and the shortcomings of the traditional education model have been highlighted, but no one has been able to come up with a good solution so far.
Although there are huge business opportunities in this, many people are trying to figure out ways, but no one has yet come up with a good idea, which is directly related to the lack of imagination.
Lack of imagination is also a major factor that leads to many problems in today's society. For example: high housing prices, difficulty in seeing a doctor, chaos in education, low fertility rate, aging and other issues.
In the face of these social problems, people cannot think of good solutions for a while. These consequences are the rigidity of thinking and the lack of innovation ability caused by lack of imagination.
Third, the great advantage of imagination
Here's a very realistic example:
The Yangtze River is the largest river in China, from the middle and lower reaches of Wuhan in Hubei Province, can be navigated uninterrupted throughout the year, and 5,000-ton ships, except in the driest years, can go directly to Wuhan.
But before 2000, few people thought of developing and utilizing this natural golden waterway. Most of the ships sailing on the Yangtze River are below the thousand-ton class, the ships transported on the wide river are sparse, few ship owners think of developing large ships, and major banks have not thought of using loans to support individual ship owners, and Yangtze River shipping has been in a low-level development state.
With the rapid economic development of Shanghai and Zhejiang, the rapid expansion of its cities along the river has made building materials such as yellow sand, gravel, and cement very tense, and prices have soared, and many savvy ship owners have seen opportunities for development.
Since the second half of 2000, they have raised funds through various channels and begun to build large ships of more than 1,000 tons, and the shipbuilding industry on both sides of the Yangtze River is very hot for a time.
Several major banks also thought of sharing a piece of cake at this time, and preferential credit injected vitality into the Yangtze River shipping industry. Cities along the river began to think of building large deep-water docks.
As a captain who has been driving a ship on the Yangtze River for 10 years, I have witnessed more and more ships sailing on the Yangtze River day by day, getting bigger and bigger every year, and all kinds of docks have sprung up like mushrooms. The beautiful banks of the Yangtze River have become the places with the fastest economic development in China.
Nowadays, the major cities on both sides of the Yangtze River, modern shipping has been unprecedented development, thus driving the synchronous development of related industries, making the economy along the river achieve a huge leap, so that the Yangtze River has truly become a golden waterway.
A change in concept can make the imagination play, the way of thinking can be changed, the way of thinking becomes wider, and the space for development becomes larger.
It can be seen that the lack of imagination will not only limit the exertion of individual capabilities, but also limit the level of development of an industry or a local economy, making economic development slow and unviable.
Economic development is inseparable from innovation, innovation is inseparable from talents, the development of talents, first of all, from the enhancement of imagination to work hard.
Imagination is the result of the joint action of image thinking and logical thinking, imagination is also the source of inspiration, imagination is an essential ability to invent and create.
Want to be eminent in front of people, pay attention to the wisdom of Ning Yuan!
