A group of young job seekers anxiously await an interview in the lobby of a well-known company. Each and every one of them has a dream to excel in this workplace competition.
Today, we're going to tell the story of two of the interviewees – how they demonstrated their unique way of thinking and problem-solving skills when faced with a seemingly simple but complex problem.
The interviewer asked a question: ".The person weighs 120 pounds, the ox weighs 1000 pounds, and the maximum load-bearing weight of the bridge is 1000 pounds. ”This question may seem like a logical puzzle, but it is actually a test of the candidate's adaptability.
The interviewee, Xiao Zhang, a young man who had just graduated from business school, had a hint of nervousness in his eyes, but more of a desire for a challenge. He stood up, took a deep breath, and began his answer.
It's a question of resource optimization and risk management. "We can adopt a phased strategy. ”
First, let the oxen walk to the middle of the bridge, when the people have not yet reached the bridge. Then, the man quickly crossed the bridge and staggered with the oxen.
In this way, the load-bearing capacity on the bridge at any time will not exceed 1,000 catties.
The interviewer nodded, and Zhang's answer was not only logical and clear, but also showed his understanding of risk control.
His answers, like his career path, are ready to deal with the unknown risks.
Another interviewee, Xiao Li, a veteran of the workplace with several years of work experience, gave a more creative answer. We can use the principles of physics to solve this problem.
"If a person can balance on the back of an ox, like a circus performance, then the weight of the person can be distributed to the bridge through the ox during the crossing of the bridge." In this way, the bridge actually bears only the weight of an ox. ”
Xiao Li's answers show his innovative thinking and courage to try new methods, and his career is like his solution, always finding new breakthroughs.
The answers of the two interviewees are like two different strategies in the workplace.
Xiao Zhang's answer is solid and reliable, suitable for those who like stable development in the workplace; Xiao Li's answer is full of innovation, suitable for those who are willing to take risks and try new things.
After the interview, whether it was Xiao Zhang or Xiao Li, they left a deep impression on everyone present.
Their stories show us that the workplace is like a bridge, and everyone needs to find their own way to cross it.
Some people choose to move forward steadily, others choose to be bold, but most importantly, we all need the courage and wisdom to cross the bridge.
This story is like a mirror, reflecting the mental journey of everyone in the workplace.
It's not just about how to cross the bridge, it's about how to find your place in the workplace, how to keep yourself in the competition, and how to show your value in the face of challenges.
As Steve Jobs said, "Your work will fill most of your life, and you can only think you are accomplished if you love your work." ”
Whether it is Xiao Zhang or Xiao Li, they are all looking for their own love and achievements in their own way.
Dear readers, when you stand in front of the bridge in the workplace, which way will you choose to cross the bridge? Is it Xiao Zhang's steady strategy, or Xiao Li's innovative ideas?
Perhaps, you will find a third, unique way of your own.
Remember, every step is growth, every choice is an experience, and every attempt is a manifestation of courage. Let's cross the bridge together with this courage and wisdom.
