Recently, I was reading the book "Necessity". The discussion of "small progress" and "small innovation" in the book is very interesting. The process of reading also inspired me to think further.
All sorts of upgrades are the norm. Many changes, upgrades, and opportunities come in the form of challenges. Most of these upgrades are all sorts of small upgrades. Another aspect of a small upgrade is a small opportunity, a small attempt, a small opportunity, and a small challenge. For these small upgrades, you need to keep an open mind and try it out while keeping your costs under control. Don't think too much before you do it, and end up mistiming it. If you refuse to make small upgrades, the accumulated changes will eventually turn into a huge update, large enough to cause "traumatic" level disruption. Therefore, these small upgrades are actually inevitable, and can even be seen as a "health care measure" to ensure the healthy operation of the overall system. Only regular upgrades can keep a product or thing healthy. Constant upgrades are critical to the system. A system that has not been upgraded and changed is rigid and dead, and can eventually collapse with a chain reaction caused by a blow from the outside. A system that can always make incremental improvements, gentle progress, is successful.
The small opportunities, the small attempts, the small opportunities and the small challenges that they bring are ignored because they are not so remarkable or inspiring on the face of it, and they create almost as many new troubles as they generate new benefits. Today's problems come from yesterday's successes; And the technical solutions to today's problems will bury hidden dangers for tomorrow. In other words, human beings have been in a cycle of "finding problems and solving problems". Over time, real benefits accumulate behind this cyclical expansion of problems and solutions. Since the Age of Enlightenment and the Age of Scientific Invention, every year of human creation has been a little more than the destruction of human beings every year. And this little bit of positive change every year, after decades or hundreds of years, has become a solid cornerstone of human civilization. A system can be a civilization, a country, or a person. For a system, assuming a base of 1, you can consistently do 1 for most years01, not 099, after decades of accumulation, the overall growth is very impressive.
This book is also too good
