Innovation is the driving force of world progress. With the spirit of innovation, there is hope for progress. Birds need wings to fly, the world needs innovation to make progress, and innovation is the wings of progress.
Once upon a time, there was a disease. As long as people get this disease, there is no cure and they can only be tortured to death slowly. A chemist unfortunately got this disease. He sought medical treatment everywhere, but he was not cured. One day, he heard that there was a well in the village that could cure this disease. As long as he drinks the water from the well, he can cure it. The chemist drank the water and quickly disposed of it.
China is famous for an old saying, he often has doubts, which is the beginning of innovation. Being brave in questioning is his new motivation. In other words, if a person can observe the phenomena around him with doubts, he will have the motivation to eliminate doubts. Villagers who drink well water all the year round have no doubt, because it can cure diseases, while chemists have doubts about well water and finally discover its secret. If chemists are glad that well water can cure diseases, they may never discover the mystery. This fully demonstrates innovation.
All walks of life need development. If the industry lacks the sense of innovation, it will only stagnate, but it may go backwards. Only by adhering to the spirit of innovation and being brave in practice can the industry develop.
Nowadays, the international community is developing rapidly, and the spirit of innovation is particularly important. Only countries with innovative spirit can stand among the world powers. The market is ruthless and the competition is cruel. Only by persisting in innovation can individuals embody their values, enterprises gain advantages and countries prosper.
2. Inheritance and innovation
In life, if you want to succeed, innovation is essential. However, without inheritance, innovation will become passive water and a tree without roots. In this way, it is difficult to succeed. Only when we know how to carry forward our own characteristics, be brave in innovation and be good at inheriting the traditions of our predecessors will we be more likely to succeed.
Innovation is not the so-called behind closed doors, nor is it made up by our own subjective imagination. Instead, we should pay attention to inheriting the outstanding achievements of our predecessors, and it will be more meaningful to innovate under the guidance of others' correct theories. Newton, the British17th century science master, discovered the law of gravity and the three laws of motion, which was not innovative. But when someone asked him why he achieved such a result, he said, "If I see farther, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants." Although this is only a temporary modesty, I think about it carefully. If Galileo didn't watch the stars at night and Tycho didn't study the laws of celestial bodies for decades, it seems that Newton would have great trouble to sum up the three laws of celestial bodies. Obviously, inheritance and innovation are inseparable. Only by inheriting its essence and discarding its dross can innovation be realized.
As a revolutionary mentor of the world proletariat, Marx devoted his whole life to writing the brilliant masterpiece Das Kapital. His innovative spirit inspired and brought up a large number of people with lofty ideals to fight for social progress. It is true that a table and a chair in the British Museum witnessed his sudden enlightenment after deep thinking, and then he wrote a book and witnessed his unprecedented theory. However, he would not have succeeded without his concentration in reading predecessors' works and his seriousness in extracting information, and the utopian theory of Saint-Simon and Fourier. It can even be asserted that without them, Das Kapital might not be completed so quickly, and we might have to grope our way forward in the dark. Obviously, innovation often gets twice the result with half the effort in inheritance. In fact, no more proof is needed. Deng Xiaoping Theory and insightful Theory of Three Represents, who guided us on the road to prosperity, eloquently expounded the relationship between inheritance and innovation.
Blind innovation is often self-defeating and ridiculous. Don't you know that Zheng Guoren, a toddler in Handan, always wants to learn other people's footwork so that he can walk differently from his native? It seems to be innovative, but his motives are not pure, his methods are wrong, he doesn't know how to inherit, and he finally climbs back. A few years ago, the essay "So Packaged" also said this truth. Originally, Pingju is an art worthy of inheritance. We can imagine the result of forcibly combining previously irrelevant pop music with national art, and we have been talking about the "four unlike" created by "innovation" for many years. If we don't get to the point, we will easily make the same mistake.
Inheritance and innovation are the relationship between rain and water. Without inheritance, just like a fish without water, even the best innovation will become a castle in the air and will not have long-term vitality. Only water without fish seems to mean that only inheritance without innovation is lifeless. Only when fish and water are combined can they become alive. Just like the perfect combination of innovation and inheritance, it will bear the fruit of success.
Innovation is important, but inheritance is equally important. If you want to succeed, inheritance and innovation are essential. "If you ask the canal to be so clear, there will be running water at the source." Without inheritance, it is passive water, without innovation, it is a pool of stagnant water. Only by innovating on the basis of inheritance can we be truly "so clear".
