换个角度看问题

    ①一个木匠丢了一块手表,几个热心的邻居一起帮他找,他们将地上的刨花、工具箱,以及木匠身上的每一个口袋都翻烂了也没有找到,结果却让一个孩子找到了。木匠很惊讶,问那孩子是怎么找到的。孩子说,很简单啊!你知道,手表是有声音的,我只是在你们都安静下来的时候坐到刨花旁听,然后沿着声音的方向走过去,就找到了。

    ②事实上,在遇到困难时只要稍稍转个身,我们看到的就会是一个崭新的天空,就像丢失在刨花里的那块表,大人们翻烂了刨花,找遍了工具箱,甚至木匠的口袋,都没能找到,而那个孩子只是换了一个寻找的角度,即凭借手表指针“嘀嗒、嘀嗒”的走动声就轻易地找到了。

    ③换个角度看问题,往往可以化难为易、化繁为简。卡耐基说:“一个人要想让自己的生活愉快、自在,在事业上取得重大的成就,学会变通是很重要的。”一次,爱迪生让助手帮助自己测量一下一个梨形灯泡的容积。助手接过后,立即开始了工作,他一舍儿拿游标卡尺测量,一会儿在稿纸上计算,后来甚至还动用了一些复杂的数学舟式。可几个小时过去了,他忙得满头大汗,还是没有算出结果。就在助手搬出大学里学过的知识,准备再一次计算灯泡的容积时,爱迪生进来了。爱迪生看到助手面前摆满了各种工具书和身旁的那一堆稿纸,正刻就明自了怎幺回事。于是,他拿起灯泡,朝里面倒满水,递给助手说:“你去把灯泡里的水倒进量杯里,就会得出我们所需要的答案。”这时,忙得满头大汗的助手才恍然大悟:自己想的太复杂了。看来,学会变通,善于让自己的思维转身是很重要的。

    ④是的,我们很多人就像爱迪生的助手一样,做事不知道变通,结果是花费了很多力气,到头来却一事无成。遇到看似难解的问题,学会换一种思维,从不同角度看,这样,“无法解决”的问题就变得简单化了,而这,才是真正的大智慧。

    ⑤1916年,美国犹他州的小镇准备修建一座银行。镇长买好了地,备好了建筑图纸,可最后在砖头上出现了问题。因为,从盐湖域用火车运砖过来,每磅要2.5美元。这个价格远远超出了镇里的预算。后来,大家又想了许多种货运方式,甚至包括空运都不行。就在人们束手无策的时候,不知谁说了句,邮寄砖啊!结果是,包裹每磅邮费是1.05美元,比火车便宜了一半多。

    ⑥这样,小镇的居民很骄傲地拥有了他们的第一家银行。更为有趣的是,这个故事后来还被西点军校作为案例选入了教材,用来诠释一条校训:要保持“头脑简单”,敢于去干所谓“办不到”的事情。

    ⑦通过邮局邮寄货物,这无疑是最常见的运输方式,然而,就是这样一个常见、简单而又便捷的方式,很多人就是想不到。为什幺呢?他们就是将简单问题复杂化了。把最复杂的变成最简单的,才是最高明的(达芬奇语)。细想,我们生活中我们缺少的,不正是达芬奇说的这种将问题简单化的思维嘛。

    ⑧同一件事,如果依照同样的习惯思维去运作,肯定不会有新的改变。但若能改变一下固有的思维方式,转个身,用不同的方法去开拓,自然会结出不同的硕果。学会转身,学会换一个角度看问题,从而把看似复杂的事一睛简单化,你就会发现人生其实好简单,成功其实离你也并不远。

    California has become the first U.S. state to approve plans to require newly-built homes to include solar equipment.

    The state's Energy Commission voted 5-0 to approve the new rules, which are to take effect in 2020. The rules will deal with most newly-built residential (住宅的) buildings up to three stories high.

    The move is California's latest step aimed at reaching renewable energy targets and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

    California has set a goal of filling half of its electricity needs with renewable energy by 2030. Officials said they had reached 30 percent by the end of 2017. The state's Governor, Jerry Brown, plans to hold an international climate meeting in September.

    ①The Energy Commission said the cost of adding solar equipment to a single-family home would be about $9,500. But, the group added that homeowners would save at least $19,000 in energy costs over 30 years.

    Robert Raymer is the technical director for the California Building Industry Association. He says the action is a step forward for the wider use of solar power in the U.S. "You can bet every other of the 49 states will be watching closely to see what happens," he told the Associated Press.

    ②Solar companies praised the new requirements, which officials have said will likely raise demand for solar equipment in California by 10-15 percent.

    The Solar Energy Industries Association called it a "historic decision for the state and the U.S." It estimated the action would produce "huge economic and environmental benefits," including bringing tens of billions of dollars into California.

    ③Some legislative and community leaders argued that Californians cannot afford to pay any more for housing in what is already an extremely high-priced market.

    "That's just going to drive the cost up and make California, once again, not affordable to live in," said California Assemblyman Brian Dahle.

    ④Severin Borenstein is an energy economist at the University of California, in Berkeley. He sent an email to the head of California's Energy Commission to urge the state to reconsider its decision.

    He expressed his belief that it is a mistake for California to approve such a policy instead of centering on efforts to develop large solar farms to produce renewable energy. He said these farms would cost much less to operate.

    "Every energy economist I know is shaking their head at this," he told the Wall Street Journal. "In many ways, this is setting the wrong example," he added.
