是思维的问题。没有那个思维，巧妇难为无米炊——

热气哄哄，红火熊熊，它没米在里面，说什么好？

张祥龙说的就是，整个思维被蔡阉割了。只有极少数人能自己偶然、碰巧、

奋力逃脱——然后被围剿。

子曰，不可使知之。

巧妇难为无米, but she can think of wheat flour, meat (chicken, ducks, goose, cattles,

porks, lamp,), seafood, and fruits. Why stick with rice? She didn't think about her

purpose to feed the hunger. 

Purpose-driven life: Honor God and help people (HGHP). What is the endpoint

measurement?

That notion got me the below:

Stanford $5 thinking box:

The professor assigned $5 to each student to invest within 2 hours. The winner will be

the one with the highest return. Guess how the winner was doing?

The winner:

only one student threw $5 (refused to think from the $5 angle); she thought outside

the $5 box and went out saying to talk with companies - she would serve as a consultant and signed contracts with a few companies. She secured consulting contracts with down payments. This student's approach

demonstrates resourcefulness and an ability to think creatively.

The losers: 

All the other students put $5 framework to rentals, to clean places, free service,...

conventional methods like renting and cleaning might have generated some income

within the given time frame, but their returns might have been relatively modest. 

*** 

Notes: 

a basic understanding of the situation presented: In the Stanford $5 thinking box

scenario, the professor assigned $5 to each student to invest within a limited time

frame of 2 hours. The goal was to generate the highest return on the initial investment.

In this specific case, one student approached the task in an unconventional manner

by using the $5 to network and secure consulting contracts with companies.

This student's approach was different from the others who opted for more traditional

methods such as using the $5 for renting or cleaning services.

The term "rudimentary understanding" typically refers to a basic or elementary level

of knowledge or comprehension of a subject. In this context, it appears that the

student's innovative and unconventional approach enabled them to achieve a higher

return compared to their peers who employed more conventional methods within the

given constraints. This highlights the importance of creative thinking and the potential

for significant outcomes even with limited resources.
