Life is always full of things of unity of opposites, just like accident and necessity, which are always interrelated and appear together. Their relationship seems simple, but in fact it is inextricably linked.
I remember a story in the geography book: Wei Gena, a famous geographer, was ill in hospital one day, and there was a map of the world hanging on the wall in front of his hospital bed. One morning, Wei Gena got up and glanced at the map carelessly, and suddenly found that the concave and convex parts of the African continent plate and the American continent plate seemed to be roughly consistent. This accidental discovery excited him. He wanted to know whether the two continents were connected a long time ago, but later they were separated into two continents for various reasons. Afterwards, after long-term speculation and analysis, Wei Gena finally put forward the famous "continental drift theory". Although this theory was later proved to be not completely correct, the "continental drift theory" discovered the fact of land plate movement and initiated the study of crustal movement from a global perspective.
Wei Gena's discovery was accidental, but how could he have made such an achievement without his long-term efforts and study and his extraordinary thinking ability? Isn't his discovery an inevitable trend?
Anthony saxophone is the inventor of saxophone. When his carefully studied saxophone first appeared, people turned a deaf ear to it. Later, he finally won the opportunity to play, but accidentally broke in half. Reluctantly, he performed on the stage, holding the saxophone whose copper pipe was almost falling off. Because he couldn't read the score, he repeatedly played several long notes. In fact, it received a miraculous effect and the performance was a great success. Saxophone is also popular all over the world.
The birth and popularization of saxophone seems to be full of accidents from beginning to end, but isn't it always inevitable? Without Anthony's diligent invention and creation, and without Anthony's unremitting determination to the cause of art, how could he succeed? Isn't his invention an inevitable trend?
Looking at the long river of history, how many great inventions and creations that promote human progress are not full of accidents and inevitability? Archimedes discovered buoyancy in the bathtub; Oster who accidentally discovered electromagnetic fields in class; Newton discovered "gravity" because he was hit on the head by an apple. . .
However, if you can't see clearly the law of things' development, and blindly tend to one side of accident and necessity, then the result is bound to be a failure, just like the Song people waiting for the rabbit in Waiting for the Rabbit hit a stake and finally got nothing, becoming the laughing stock of future generations.
Opportunities are doomed and must be realized by accident. Only by fully understanding necessity and being good at grasping chance can we really stay away from failure and move towards ultimate success!
