What does it mean to say that a person is an ostrich?

Saying "ostrich" mainly refers to the ostrich mentality, which is an escape from reality and a cowardly act that dare not face the problem.

The reason is that people used to say that ostriches would bury their heads in the sand when they were in danger, thinking that they would be safe if they could not see the danger. This is used to describe people's escapist mentality.

Psychology has found through research that most modern people will take an evasive attitude in the face of pressure, knowing that the problem is about to happen, but not thinking about countermeasures, which will only make the problem more complicated and difficult to deal with. It's like when an ostrich is cornered, it will bury its head in the sand. Similar to "ostrich mentality", it is called "stealing clocks".

Cases related to ostrich mentality:

1, Bian Que, an ancient imperial doctor, found that Cai Huangong was ill and repeatedly persuaded Cai Huangong to treat him, but Cai Huangong stubbornly believed that he was not ill, refused to listen to Bian Que's advice and resolutely refused to treat him. As a result, when he was terminally ill, he finally went to Bian Que for treatment. At this time, I knew that I was terminally ill and could not be cured because of delayed treatment, so I fled to Qin. Soon, Cai Huangong died of illness.

2. Yu, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and secretary of Shanghai Municipal Committee, said at the 16th plenary session of the 9th Shanghai Municipal Committee a few days ago that in the face of all kinds of public opinions, avoidance and perfunctory are like ostriches with their heads buried in the sand, which cannot solve the problem.

The correct attitude and method is to improve the ruling mode, improve the ruling efficiency, speed up the construction of informationization and networking, make efforts to make a breakthrough in accessing the Internet, make achievements in the educational management network, and be a pioneer who dares to make good use of the network.
