Essay about reverse thinking

Speaking of reverse thinking

The weather has been a bit cold recently, and the wind split my lips. It hurts so much when I open my mouth. Mom asked me to put on lipstick and it would feel better.

Before I went to study composition, I put on lipstick, but I couldn’t find it when I came back. I went to the bathroom and looked, but there was nothing there. I went to the table by the door, and there was nothing there. I went to the desk, and there was still nothing. I was anxious and wanted to ask my mother, but when I opened my mouth, oh, it hurts me to death! Why the damn lipstick disappeared at the critical moment? Suddenly, I had an idea. I picked up my schoolbag again, stood back at the door, and said, "Goodbye, Mom!" My mother heard this in the kitchen and was very surprised, and said, "Why are you talking backwards?" In order not to interrupt my thoughts, I ignored my mother and continued walking backwards. My mother followed me and watched with interest. I walked backwards back to my study, came to the bedside, and suddenly remembered that I put the lipstick in the bedside table! When my mother learned about my method of finding lipstick, she laughed loudly: "If you had discovered this kind of reverse thinking earlier, many of the previous learning problems could have been easily solved."

I thought, yes Yes, in mathematics, we often need to use reverse thinking. If we know the perimeter and let us find the area, we must first use the perimeter backwards to find the side lengths before we can calculate the area. When checking homework, we should also use reverse thinking. Instead of doing it again, we should work backwards to see if the answer meets the requirements of the question. When writing a composition, we can also use flashbacks to make the article more vivid. These are the wonders of reverse thinking.

There is a story I don’t know if you have heard of it. In ancient times, there was an old mother. Her eldest son opened a dyeing shop, and her younger son opened a shop selling umbrellas. On rainy days, she was worried that her eldest son's cloth would not dry in the sun; on sunny days, she was worried that her younger son's umbrellas would not be sold. So, I was depressed all day long. A neighbor knew what she was thinking and advised her: "You should think about the good things. On rainy days, you should think about your younger son's business being good; on sunny days, you should think about your eldest son's cloth drying well." After hearing this, my mother really followed her neighbor's ideas and became happier day by day. In fact, the neighbor's idea was also reverse thinking. It was precisely because of this reverse thinking that bad things turned into good things. Reverse thinking is sometimes the source of inspiration for scientists to create new inventions. If you think about it carefully, it has too many benefits.

Reverse thinking is magical. It can make responsible things simpler and make the impossible possible... Reverse thinking is really like an all-powerful magic wand!
