Title: what's the secret behind a 12-year-old boy's “fix” bad screen phone
What would you do if your phone screen fell thin? Find a maintenance store? Change the phone? Jiangsu's a 12-year-old boy, using the way you didn't think. Mom's phone screen was completely fractured, it was compromised, he was wearing a translucent tape, and he put it all over the screen. Guess what? The phone's working! Some say the child is a genius, others say it's pure luck. Let's talk today. What's behind this tape
Let's get this straight. Cell phone touch screens are like multi-layered crackers. The glass in the outermost layer is broken, but it's probably not broken. The tape is taped, the broken glass is fixed and the pressure is evenly distributed. Put your finger on it, and the conductor senses again. This cures the symptoms, but the emergency works. Kids don't necessarily understand these theories. He's got a straight mind: is something broken and glued? You see, adults see that it's not possible, and in the eyes of children it's "why not try."。
What's most moving about this? It's that kids aren't trapped by common sense. Our adults fell off their cell phones, and the first reaction was, "it's over, it's gonna cost a lot." thinking is on a fixed track: damage maintenance payments. The child's mind is scattered: damage is repaired. With what? Tape, glue, even rice? He dared to think. That's the power of the heart. Wang yang-ming said, “you know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know”, and the children are “you don't know”, and instead they break out of the way。
To think deeper, what we lose to children is the courage to try. You're afraid the tape will break the screen, you'll have to pay for it. The kid doesn't have the burden. He just wants to help her. And? He won. There's so many things in life that we think too much. You're afraid of losing money, you're afraid of being rejected, you're afraid of changing your hair. I can't do it. My ancestors say, “the first-born calf is not afraid of tigers”, not the calf, but the tiger knows how terrible it is。
Of course it's not an encouragement. The child's success has a lot of luck, much more of a light of pure wisdom. He looked at life and knew that tape could stick things; he tried it, and he didn't care if it was perfect. The original ability to “discover problems — solve problems” is precisely what many people have lost. We're too dependent on professional services, water pipes are blocked and software is stuck to look for customer clothes. The ability to do it on its own has slowly deteriorated. Cell phones are taped, not screens, but the lack of “courage to do”。
What can a common man learn? First, in case of problems, think “what can i do” and say “i can't”. Secondly, we value the children's “explorations” and don't use “do not fool” to silence creativity. Thirdly, allow yourself to do something stupid and allow things to be imperfect. It's not professional to put a tape on a cell phone, but it's worth it to get mom to work in time。
Let's end with a story. Edison failed thousands of times before he invented the lights. The reporter asked him how he felt, and he said, "i didn't fail, i found thousands of materials that weren't suitable for lighting." you see, children and inventors, think together. Next time you have a problem, you can learn to tie the cracks of life with a 12-year-old boy — a little simpler, a little more direct, a little more transparent tape. Perhaps the dumbest way is to get close to success。
