at the beginning of a TV entertainment program, the host took out a large stack of banknotes with different denominations and piled up in disorder, and asked four spectators selected temporarily from the scene to have a counting contest within the specified 3 minutes. Among the four spectators, whoever counts the most and the most accurate amount will get a reward consistent with the amount of cash he has just counted.
after the rules of the game were announced by the host, the whole audience made a sensation. Everyone thought to himself, "How can you count thousands of dollars in three minutes, not to mention tens of thousands?" It's exciting and exciting to get thousands of dollars in just a few minutes.
The game started, and four people buried their heads and counted the money quickly. In this process, the host took the microphone and gave the contestants brain teasers in turn to interrupt their normal thinking. Moreover, the contestants have to answer the questions correctly before they can count the money down. As a result, after several rounds, the game time was over, and the four contestants were holding a stack of banknotes with different thicknesses. The host recorded the amount of money they reported, and the results were that the first audience counted 3,472 yuan, the second audience counted 5,836 yuan, the third audience counted 4,889 yuan, and the fourth audience only counted 5 yuan.
When the host reported these four numbers, the audience burst into laughter. The audience didn't understand why the fourth audience counted so little. Next, the host announced the final exact amount of money counted by the four people: 3,372 yuan, 5,831 yuan and 4,879 yuan, 5 yuan. That is to say, the audience with much more than the top three figures, either counted 1 yuan too much, or counted 5 yuan and 1 yuan too little, are far from the correct number. Only the number of the fourth contestant with the least amount of money counted is completely correct. In the end, only the fourth audience won the 5 yuan Prize, and the other three just played an exciting counting game.
Seeing the audience's comments, the host told everyone seriously: "Since the program was launched, all the contestants have never won the highest prize in this competition." Finally, the host said: "Sometimes, giving up wisely is actually a strategy of managing life and a great wisdom. However, it needs more courage and wisdom. "
Frost's Law actually explains the truth that to build a wall, we must first make clear the scope of building a wall, enclose those things that really belong to us, and enclose those things that don't belong to us. It reminds us that before doing anything, we must have a clear definition: what can be done and what can't be done; What to accept and what to reject.
As everyone knows, the northernmost part of the earth is the North Pole, which is an endless snowfield. Therefore, it is one of the most important things to keep the accuracy of the route direction when moving in the polar regions. However, there are no road signs of any kind in this white snow field, and the only thing that explorers who come here can trust is the measuring instruments they carry. To this end, they have to stop and look at the map every hour to determine the next detailed walking route.
However, just a few hours after the explorers left the camp, a strange phenomenon happened: when they stopped to read the data on the measuring instrument, they were extremely surprised to find that although they were heading for the North Pole accurately, they were getting farther and farther away from the pole. At first, the players thought it was just a false test, so they moved on. However, when they read the data again, they found that they were farther away from the North Pole.
the following data shows that the faster they walk in the given direction, the farther away they are from the pole. What the hell is going on here? Finally, they found that the place where they were standing turned out to be a huge glacier drifting south, and the speed of this glacier drifting south far exceeded its northbound speed! It can be said that everything they do is right, and the mistake is that they don't know where they are.
in fact, many times, we chose the right direction, and we made efforts for it, but we didn't achieve our goal in the end. At this time, you don't have to blame God's injustice or the harsh external environment. What's important is to look down and make sure that you know what you really want and don't want, that is, to define your own boundaries.
