The moment of epiphany contains the greatest joy in life. ? ?

In the 3rd century BC, a Greek king once gave some gold to a craftsman and asked him to make a crown.After the crown was finished, the king felt something was wrong after looking at it. He suspected that the craftsman might have cut corners, but he weighed it and found that the weight did not decrease, which was the weight of the gold given to him.But the king was still worried. He guessed that the craftsman might have mixed silver in the crown, so he asked Archimedes, a great scientist at the time, to help him check whether there were other things mixed in the crown. ?
Archimedes was in a dilemma. ?
He knows the weight of gold and silver per unit volume, and he also knows the weight of the crown. Now if he knows the volume of the crown, he can immediately judge whether the crown is mixed with silver by comparing it with gold and silver. The problem is that he Not sure how to measure the volume of the crown.After thinking about it for a few days, I still couldn't come up with a solution. ?
One day, Archimedes had to take a bath, and when he saw the water overflowing when he dipped into the tub, he immediately thought of how to measure the volume of the crown. ?
Archimedes was so excited that he even forgot to put on his clothes and ran to the street, shouting: I found it, I found it. ?
What did Archimedes discover?In fact, it is the way to measure the volume of the crown.This has been known to later generations as "Archimedes' Law". ?

Psychologists call Archimedes' way of solving problems epiphany, and epiphany is actually when a person understands something after going through it.

After thinking over and over again, I suddenly thought of the process of the solution.Epiphanies come from subconscious self-improvement.When we encounter a problem that cannot be solved, even if we don't think about it, our subconscious mind is still integrating and updating our knowledge structure.When the integration is close to solving the problem, at a certain point, there will be a sudden trigger, and inspiration will occur.Those who can realize epiphany are happy, even if they go through a lot of hard thinking, they will still achieve nothing in the end. ?

Jeremy understood that the client was deliberately cheating and wanted to make things difficult for him. Originally, he wanted to rush back to the client's company and have a big fight, but Jeremy has always adhered to the business principle of "peace makes money", so he suppressed himself In a fit of anger, he asked the counter lady at the bank why the check could not be cashed, and how much was the difference. ?
Because Jeremy's attitude is very sincere, the counter lady is also very enthusiastic to help him inquire. ?
The result of the inquiry is that there is only 8000 yuan left in the account, which is 2000 yuan less than the amount of his check. ?
As Jeremy expected, the client was out to get in trouble with him. ?
With an idea, Jeremy took out 2000 yuan from his body and asked the counter lady to help him deposit it into the customer's account. After making up the check's denomination of 10 yuan, he cashed the check. ?
