There is more than one answer.

Once upon a time, there was a temple on Mount Putuo. There lived an old monk and a young monk in the temple. They are apprentices and apprentices.

One day, the old monk asked the young monk a question: "A person who likes cleaning came back from the outside with a person who doesn't like cleaning. Is it a person who loves cleanliness, a person who takes a shower first, or a person who doesn't love cleanliness? "

The young monk scratched his scalp and quickly replied, "Of course, people who don't like cleanliness go to take a shower first, because he is dirty." The old monk looked at the young monk and disagreed.

The young monk thought his answer was incorrect, so he immediately changed his mind and said, "It must be the people who love cleaning who went to take a shower first." The old monk asked, "Why?"

The young monk said confidently, "That's not easy. People who love cleaning have the habit of taking a bath, but those who don't love cleaning don't. Only people who love cleanliness can take a bath. " After that, the young monk waited for the teacher's praise.

Unexpectedly, instead of praising the young monk, the old monk said that he had no understanding, and the young monk was even more puzzled.

"They both went to take a shower. People who love cleaning have the habit of taking a bath, and those who don't like cleaning need to take a bath. " The young monk just answered like this, but the master's expression told him that he was wrong again.

There is only one answer left in the end. The young monk replied timidly, "neither of them takes a bath, because they love cleanliness, don't need to take a bath, don't love cleanliness, and have no habit of taking a bath."

When the young monk finished, the old monk shook his head. Then, the old monk told the young monk, "In fact, you have said all four answers, but you always make sure that one of them is correct. Such an answer is definitely not comprehensive, because none of them is the correct answer. "

Sometimes we are always limited by our own vision and knowledge, thinking that there is only one answer, either right or wrong, but in fact, there is not only one solution to the same problem.

For example, when we eat bananas, some people like to peel them from below, while others like to peel them from above. This harmless habit doesn't matter if others have to be like us and allow them to eat differently.

In Your Vision Determines Your World, Seibu pointed out that from now on, try to broaden your vision, change the old thinking mode when encountering problems, and think from different aspects, and you will find a vast new world.

For another example, in reading, we all have the same purpose, that is, to turn the knowledge in books into our own knowledge. Only in this way can we really understand books.

In addition, you can read in different ways. You can read every word from beginning to end. You can also read the preface and table of contents first, and then choose the main chapters to read; Or choose to look at the beginning and end and skip the middle content.

No matter which reading method you choose, it won't prevent you from reading this book, as long as you make the main idea and context of the article clear.

Therefore, when we encounter a problem, don't be limited to our own inherent thinking, try to solve the problem from different angles, and maybe you will have unexpected gains.
