Why emphasize extreme thinking
Xu Wenxiu
In the new era and new journey, various foreseeable and unforeseeable risks and challenges, as well as various possible contradictions and problems that may arise and mutate, highlight the extreme importance of establishing and adhering to extreme thinking, and establishing ways and methods of looking at things ahead.
As is well known, there are some extreme sports that specifically challenge human beings to overcome their maximum potential, such as cliff jumping, bungee jumping, rock climbing, triathlon, etc. There are many similar extreme tests and challenges in human life, which require people to seek breakthroughs in each challenge and achieve new breakthroughs in each breakthrough. This requires cultivating, establishing, and adhering to extreme thinking, establishing a forward-looking perspective, approach, and method of looking at things.
Extreme thinking is a way of thinking that pushes the problem or thing being studied to the limit state for thinking. Simply put, what should and can be done in extreme situations? It needs to consider both "within its capabilities" and "beyond its capabilities". So, extreme thinking is to make assumptions about the problem and its conditions, and when the assumptions are pushed step by step to the extreme, the essence of the problem will be highlighted. In practical life, due to the complexity of the situation, the variables between various phenomena are greatly influenced by random factors, making it difficult for people to clarify the extremely complex relationships. In this situation, using extreme thinking can be a choice and a way out.
Without limits, there is no excitement; Without extreme thinking, there can be no breakthrough and transcendence. Newton applied the limit to Kepler's third law of planets to achieve the law of universal gravitation; The theme of each Olympic Games is always faster, higher, and stronger, reflecting the extreme thinking of constantly pursuing breakthroughs; Every Guinness record creation is also a new breakthrough in extreme thinking; Wait a minute. Establishing and adhering to extreme thinking will lead to a broader perspective and further actions than others. Often forcing oneself to think without a way out, forcing oneself to imagine without room for transformation, will lead to a desperate situation, finding a way out, and opening up new paths.
The risks of reform, development, and stability, as well as the difficulties of climbing hills and overcoming obstacles, are becoming increasingly prominent. Various "black swans" and "gray rhinoceroses" events may occur at any time, and some major tests of high winds, fast waves, and even rough waves may come head-on. Establishing and adhering to extreme thinking is crucial.
Faced with the increasingly intensified external environment of extreme pressure, extreme thinking is needed. Some countries regard me as a "major strategic competitor" and recklessly suppress and encircle us without any bottom line. Without extreme thinking, it is difficult to play the "first move" and take the initiative, leading to strategic passivity.
Faced with various complacent and lax thoughts in the cadre team, extreme thinking is needed. The long-term peaceful environment and lack of experience in struggle have led to some cadres having weak awareness of struggle, weak will to fight, and low ability to fight. They have a wishful thinking of "simplicity and kindness", blindly "being gentle, respectful, and frugal", considering "more than they can" and "less than they can". To change this situation, it is urgent to establish and adhere to extreme thinking.
Establishing and adhering to extreme thinking means having the "worst case plan". Striving for the best and preparing for the worst is the essential requirement and main content of extreme thinking. Sometimes, the development and evolution of certain things are not influenced by our will, or even by our good wishes. Only by making things more complex and challenging, estimating problems and difficulties, risks and challenges to the worst, and making contingency plans more advanced, meticulous, precise and scientific, can actions be more calm and proactive.
Establishing and adhering to extreme thinking means having a strong resilience to pressure. In extreme states, the struggle often revolves around willpower and psychology. In the face of critical moments, critical moments, major tests, severe challenges, and immense pressure, strong willpower and resilient spirit are more important than anything else. A brave person who meets on a narrow road wins. With gritted teeth and a determined heart, they may be able to stand up, carry on, and overcome the "black barrier" smoothly.
Establishing and adhering to extreme thinking means constantly accumulating experience in challenging limits.Extreme thinking is a method of assuming limits. More training and application of this way of thinking will enable us to win more opportunities and better move from victory to new victories.
