讀到過(guò)這樣一個(gè)故事:把一個(gè)會(huì)跳的小蟲(chóng)子放在瓶子里喇辽,它明明可以跳得很高糯耍,但把蓋子蓋上以后,蟲(chóng)子碰到頂蓋掉下來(lái)了育拨,它反復(fù)條跳躍,卻越跳越低欢摄。這時(shí)候再把蓋子擰開(kāi)熬丧,看見(jiàn)小蟲(chóng)子還在跳,但它已經(jīng)永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)跳出這個(gè)瓶子了怀挠,因?yàn)樗J(rèn)為锹引,頭頂上那個(gè)蓋子將是不可逾越的矗钟。Tesla的成功顛覆了之前汽車(chē)行業(yè)對(duì)與電動(dòng)車(chē)的判斷唆香,在Tesla之前也有具備實(shí)力的公司嘗試過(guò)電動(dòng)車(chē)嫌变,但是它們被自己所設(shè)定的邊界給限制住了,即使很多以前存在的瓶頸已經(jīng)可以跨越了躬它,但它們還是束縛自己的手腳不敢去前進(jìn)腾啥。在生活或工作中總會(huì)遇到一些人告訴我們說(shuō),這個(gè)是不可能的冯吓,那個(gè)是不現(xiàn)實(shí)的倘待,但真正可怕的不是外界的嘲諷,而是那些評(píng)價(jià)被我們內(nèi)化成自我判斷的一種標(biāo)尺组贺, 是我們自己給自己套上了枷鎖凸舵。

torn it apart, reshaped, rectangular...不難想象這群工程師日夜埋頭苦干的場(chǎng)景,拆解優(yōu)秀的設(shè)計(jì)失尖,再拼接還原啊奄,破而后立獲取靈感和技術(shù)的進(jìn)步。這種提升技術(shù)的方法是有效的掀潮,而真正能付諸實(shí)施的人卻不多菇夸。對(duì)于我們有的各種想提高某些能力改善某種狀態(tài)s的問(wèn)題,其實(shí)不缺各種有效的方法去解決仪吧,只是少了務(wù)實(shí)之心付諸行動(dòng)庄新。就如同想說(shuō)一口純正英語(yǔ),“聽(tīng)晨讀原文薯鼠,模仿择诈,錄音,修正”這套方法肯定是有用的出皇,只是自己沒(méi)有踏實(shí)的去做到底羞芍,還急于求成。安利練口語(yǔ)一款微信免費(fèi)小程序“夏說(shuō)晨讀”恶迈,雖最近才開(kāi)始使用涩金,從自己所需而言感覺(jué)很贊。取需暇仲。

當(dāng)汽車(chē)品牌還在以空間大步做,省油,操控好等等一下老掉牙的口號(hào)來(lái)打廣告時(shí)奈附,特斯拉橫空出世了全度,作為純電動(dòng)車(chē),它能無(wú)限次免費(fèi)充電斥滤,比傳統(tǒng)汽車(chē)節(jié)能将鸵,沒(méi)有4s店勉盅,直銷(xiāo)給消費(fèi)者。甚至在你睡覺(jué)的時(shí)候就能修好車(chē)顶掉,并且能夠不斷升級(jí)草娜。
但一開(kāi)始,特斯拉也曾經(jīng)想做混動(dòng)車(chē)痒筒,但是他們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己如果做混動(dòng)車(chē)宰闰,和傳統(tǒng)汽車(chē)公司相比就絲毫沒(méi)有優(yōu)勢(shì),既沒(méi)有別人做汽油車(chē)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)也沒(méi)有別人雄厚的資金簿透。所以認(rèn)清自己移袍,找到自己的優(yōu)勢(shì)是及其重要的。在做任何事情前老充,都要找對(duì)方向葡盗。《躍遷》里總結(jié)的高手攻略啡浊,其中第一條就是找到頭部觅够。
