Siheyuan: Returning from studying abroad, with extraordinary understanding

Coming out of Jiang Yuanhang’s office.

Zhao Sijie was secretly glad that he did not rashly announce this task to the entire factory.

If this task is announced to the whole factory, even if it inspires everyone's fighting spirit, but if the technical department provides technical evidence that it cannot be completed, it will drive everyone's fighting spirit into the abyss.

This will not only fail to increase production, but may actually reduce production and cause workers to lose confidence.

Zhao Sijie knew very well that when people are in a bad mood, they will not be able to do things well, whether at work or in study, and will instead do bad things.

Therefore, even if he accepted the task, he had to have an in-depth understanding of the basic situation of the entire factory before he could determine whether he could complete the task.

Seeking truth from facts is his motto.

In terms of technology, we must seek truth from facts and respect objective facts, rather than doing whatever you want.

However, he will not back down because the task cannot be completed. Instead, he will exercise his subjective initiative based on the actual situation, actively respond to difficulties, and propose solutions to the problems.

Even if the task is not completed in the end, it is understandable.

If you listen to the technical department's analysis and do nothing without making any judgment, thinking that the task cannot be completed, then this is a typical example of irresponsibility.

You can't do things recklessly, nor can you retreat, but you should do things methodically and with a plan.

Seek truth from facts and solve problems when they arise.

This is the thought that the organization taught him, and it is also the world view and methodology he has always implemented.

Having studied the teacher's articles, he knew that the correct way to understand was to repeat the cycle of cognition - practice - cognition - practice in a spiral upward direction.

If you give up without practicing and think that something cannot be done, then you will be letting down the organization's cultivation.

It is a typical representative of disrespecting objective facts.

The correct approach is to do this thing and first understand your purpose and specific goals.

The next step is to fully understand the current situation, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the existing conditions, and what are the obstacles to completing this task.

Analyze the nature of the obstacle, whether it is superficial or essential, whether it can be solved or cannot be solved at all.

What is the connection between the obstacles? What can you do with the existing means?

Finally, identify the most important obstacle and solve it, and other small obstacles will naturally be solved.

This most important obstacle is the so-called main contradiction.

This is what Zhao Sijie thought. After receiving the task, he came back to find out about the situation in the factory.

Analyze the difficulties you encounter. If the factory cannot solve them, you can ask for external help and ask others for help.

If the problem still cannot be solved, you can test whether the method you think of is correct through practice.

In general, the same old saying applies: actively exert your subjective initiative, and there are always more solutions than problems.

In his office, Jiang Yuanhang did not give up looking for ways to complete the task because of Zhao Sijie's departure.

As the chief technical engineer, he knew the iron and steel plant better than the factory director Zhao Sijie.

No one knows more about technology than him.

After Zhao Sijie left, he started to think of technical solutions.

However, although he is a metallurgical engineer, he still lacks in technical level.

He had always been in China and had never studied abroad. He had no chance to experience more advanced iron-making and steel-making technologies. All he came into contact with were old iron-making equipment and blast furnaces left behind by the Japanese and the National Army.

Even if we study it thoroughly, it is still technology from more than ten years ago.

Others have been developing for more than ten years, but you are still studying their backward technology. What's even more ridiculous is that you haven't figured it out yet.

For example, when building a large blast furnace, others take away all the drawings and materials, and you can only watch helplessly.

This made Jiang Yuanhang feel very depressed.

This is not a difference in IQ, it's just that the other person has practiced for more than ten years more than you.

Without advanced technology, we cannot better meet the needs of the country. When the task was assigned, Jiang Yuanhang did not retreat because he felt the task was arduous, but felt ashamed of his inadequate skills.

If there were more advanced technology, he wouldn't be so frustrated.

Jiang Yuanhang did not complain. He knew that he had been thinking in the wrong direction. He reorganized his thoughts and returned to thinking of a solution.

After some thought, Jiang Yuanhang felt a little desperate.

He only had so much knowledge, and when he tried to think of a solution, he could only think based on what he knew, so this situation occurred.

This method can be used to solve the problem, but its shortcomings are too obvious. After solving this problem, other problems will arise.

Then, if you want another method, it’s the same.

Not only that, but the methods that can be thought of based on one's own knowledge are limited.

After going around in circles, Jiang Yuanhang seemed to have reached a dead end with only a few options.

Let him be trapped inside.

This won't work, and that won't work either.

If you can’t think of a solution, your brain will lose interest and your mood will become low.

When you are in a low mood, your brain's efficiency decreases, which further lowers your mood.

Then, the whole person will become angry, and the mood will be even worse.

This vicious cycle made him unable to think of any solution.

This is a dead knot that cannot be untied.

But, if you can't think of a solution, you will keep thinking about this problem in your mind, and then you will get stuck in a dead end!

Many people will encounter this situation.

Even if you want to give up trying to find a solution, it will always come to your mind and make you think about it involuntarily.

Why is this so?

Jiang Yuanhang is not a psychology major, so he naturally doesn't understand this problem.

It is easy to understand if we explain it based on the living habits of primitive people.

Simply put, the life of primitive people is always facing crisis, so the only purpose of primitive people is to survive.

This subconscious mind is always in the human brain, keeping alert at all times.

In this way, when you encounter danger, you can avoid it and keep yourself alive.

If we are not vigilant, the consequence will be disappearing in the long river of history.

The history of human beings using tools is only tens of thousands of years, but human evolution has been at least tens of millions of years, so the primitive crisis vigilance has been preserved.

So, when encountering difficulties or problems that cannot be solved, the primitive brain will think that this is a crisis and if it cannot be avoided, it will die.

This is a person’s subconscious thought, so the first thought when encountering difficulties is to run away!

Therefore, whether in ancient times or modern times, escape is human instinct!

If you don't know how to escape, you would have died long ago.

However, modern society is no longer the same as primitive society. If you escape when you encounter a little difficulty, you will not be able to gain a foothold in society.

Therefore, people should correctly understand themselves, correctly understand difficulties, and correctly understand their own brains.

Don't treat difficulties as crises. If you can't solve them, you will die.
