How to face new things

One afternoon before the Spring Festival, I went outside to bask in the sun and drink coffee. Although the coffee shop is not far away, I rode a mobike because I was too lazy to walk. Coffee shop in the tall business district, the nearby mobike usage rate is also relatively high; After drinking coffee, mobike, where I rode, had been taken away, so I had to find other free bicycles nearby. Just around the corner of the building, I found an idle mobike in front of the Sime Nami store next to it. When passing by, I saw the luxury car in the eye shop from the big glass window of Simami, and then I went to the mobile APP to scan the bike. Just as I was happily getting on my bike and preparing to leave, a security guard rushed over and stopped me. I was a little confused at first, but later I realized that he must have misunderstood. This is actually a more dedicated security guard. Seeing that this bicycle was just parked in front of the store by another person, I drove away three times and five times, and I was on high alert. To tell the truth, this sense of justice security is not uncommon in the city for properties that are not managed by themselves. After my patient and meticulous explanation, I showed him the operation process of mobike on my mobile phone. He finally understood that mobike was a paid public bicycle, and his nervous and serious expression finally turned into a simple and lovely smile. Finally, the young security guard said that this way is really convenient, and he wanted to try installing a mobike APP himself. So I got on my bike again and went home happily.

? A normal reaction to new things

Actually, telling this story doesn't mean you can't use mobike, or you can use mobike. It's just that when we face new things, we all have normal reactions. Mobike's bike-sharing model is also a relatively new thing, but it is really convenient and solves the pain point of people returning their cars in different places, so it quickly became popular among the public. But when I first saw mobike, I was also curious and wait-and-see attitude; I didn't try to use mobike's APP until there were more cyclists in the street and I read many articles by mobike. Looking back, when WeChat first became popular, I also used my Weibo to look around with a wait-and-see attitude. It was not until many friends around me started using WeChat that I had to try to start using it myself. Whether it's WeChat or mobike, it's really much more convenient than other communication or transportation modes before. When cars were first invented in history, people used to ride in carriages until they found that cars were really more convenient and faster. The development law of things is the same, but the frequency of new things in modern society is much higher than that in previous historical periods. We need to adjust our adaptation frequency faster to keep up with the rhythm.

? How to overcome yourself and face others

In the initial stage of new things, most people are unwilling to tolerate and accept new things based on their dependence on old habits. Most people are skeptical or even contemptuous and negative about new things. Few people dare to try, tolerate and accept new things with a brave mind. With the development of new things, when some new things show advantages far beyond the old ones, when those who try new things first begin to benefit, most groups will follow suit; At this time, new things have become the trend. Of course, new things are not always good; So brave people are definitely more likely to get hurt. But the risk is directly proportional to the total income, and those who are willing to take risks have a better chance to get the maximum income. Most people who follow up will certainly benefit from new things, but the degree of benefit is average at most.

Therefore, when a new thing appears, although I am not one of the few people who dare to try actively, at least I can look at it with an open and inclusive mind. Don't deny it easily before you don't understand, understand or try, let alone despise it. If you are familiar with and understand a new thing, put yourself in the other's shoes when you meet people or reactions who are unfamiliar with and don't understand it. Be more patient and tolerant, and think about your initial reaction to new things, and you will be more empathetic to understand.

For traditional China people, the Lunar New Year is the beginning of the real New Year. I hope in the new year, I can have more courage and tolerance to accept new things. This is also a little gift for the New Year.
