Failure is because you didn’t find it


First make such a game: Suppose Coke has two cans, two empty cans can be exchanged for one can of Coke. If you give 6 yuan, can you drink a few cans of Coke?

In this game, we asked a lot of people around us, almost 90% of people said after the calculation: "Is it 5 cans?"

This game, let us find that empty cans are idle resources, empty cans are value; everyone has empty cans, there are many resources idle, if fully integrated, we will marvel at their performance.

We can go back and take a closer look at the game. Most people can drink 5 cans of cola, how to find a way to drink the 6th can is the core of the game. Many people will say that I only have one can of Coke, I can't continue, just drink it, and an empty can is worthless. I throw it away. This raises two questions: Is there any value in empty cans? Can you find the empty cans in your hands and work with others to make full use of the empty cans in both hands?

Thinking about these two issues will expand your thinking. There are many things that you should pay attention to. You can't limit yourself to dealing with difficulties and problems. Instead, you should turn your attention to the analysis of facts to make existing resources more valuable. It is very important that we learn to distinguish relevant information and grasp the value of temporarily useless information. Today's useless information can be the key to tomorrow's success.

The game above can actually do this: you drink the 5th can of cola, and then borrow an empty can from someone else, you can change back to the 6th can of cola, drink the cola and return the empty can to others.

Finding an empty can is the key to getting a 6th can of cola. An empty can is a resource that has been idle for a long time. It is a resource that is useful to others and temporarily useless to yourself. Everyone has a lot of empty empty cans, either held in their arms or discarded in the corner. Don't give up any resources easily, even if it's useless now.

If you are not good at questioning your assumptions, your decision will be unreasonable. Success belongs to those who seriously think about and use the value of empty cans. Only a small number of people in life really believe that they can get the "6th can of Coke." With their unwavering beliefs, they are keenly aware of the things around them, always discovering all the "empty cans". Most people don't have the ability to discover, just because they can't change their minds and make the most of their existing resources.

The method of "getting the sixth can" belongs to those who dare to discover.

A young man took a train through a deserted mountain. The passengers looked at the window one by one and didn't know what to do. Passing a corner, the train slows down, and a bungalow slowly enters people's field of vision. This is an ordinary bungalow, but because it appears when people are extremely bored, people have a spirit at once, almost all passengers are wide-eyed, and appreciate the special scenery of this lonely journey.

Looking at such a scene, this young man has a heart. He got out of the car and found the owner of the house. The owner told him that the train had to pass through his house every day. The noise really made him unable to take it, so he always wanted to sell the house at a low price, but no one had been interested. As a result, the young man spent 30,000 yuan to buy the bungalow.

Young people think that the house is just at the corner, the train will slow down, and such a place can be used for advertising. He began to contact some big companies to recommend the "advertising wall" on the front of the house. Later, Coca-Cola signed a three-year contract with him for a rent of 180,000 yuan.

A broken house that was almost abandoned was a treasure that was valued by multinational corporations. The value stemmed from discovery. The young man was already looking for the "empty can" when others did not realize that "the sixth can of cola" existed. The owner of the original house mistakenly regarded his house as a waste that can be discarded at any time.
