超越對立:在矛盾中找到更好的答案

舉一個簡單的例子,應該要「耐心等待」,還是應該要「快速反應」?

二元對立的思維,往往讓人誤以爲在兩個對立選項之間只能二選一。

於是我們往往在兩個極端之間擺盪,而看不見兩者互補的最佳方式。

以整合性的思考方式,則能解開狹隘視角導致的表面的矛盾,不掉入二分化的思考陷阱,找到超越對立的更高層次解法。

對於這個例子,Naval 有一段精彩的論述:

Impatience with actions, patience with results

Anything you have to do, get it done. Why wait? You’re not getting any younger.

You don’t want to spend your life waiting in line. You don’t want to spend it traveling back and forth. You don’t want to spend it doing things that aren’t part of your mission.

When you do these things, do them as quickly as you can and with your full attention so you do them well. Then be patient with the results because you’re dealing with complex systems and a lot of people.

It takes a long time for markets to adopt products. It takes time for people to get comfortable working with each other. It takes time for great products to emerge as you polish away.

Impatience with actions, patience with results.

《金剛經》裡,則有更深層的邏輯,例如「所言一切法者,即非一切法,是故名一切法。」

之後有機會再深入討論。
