詞匯分享記得一次聽(tīng)《邏輯思維》，羅胖就問(wèn)，什么是好的產(chǎn)品？有人說(shuō)，是消費(fèi)者想要的產(chǎn)品。
但有時(shí)候消費(fèi)者并不知道自己想要什么！所以一個(gè)好的產(chǎn)品應(yīng)該是這樣的：當(dāng)你擺到消費(fèi)者面前的時(shí)候，他驚喜的說(shuō)：“這就是我想要的東西！”
其實(shí)蘋(píng)果手機(jī)和特斯拉都是這樣的產(chǎn)品，在他們出現(xiàn)之前消費(fèi)者哪里想過(guò)手機(jī)和汽車(chē)能做成這樣？
這也是創(chuàng)意和創(chuàng)新的一個(gè)思考點(diǎn)：給消費(fèi)者一個(gè)他從沒(méi)有想到過(guò)但一見(jiàn)鐘情的產(chǎn)品。

又比如參加這次讀書(shū)活動(dòng)，起初打算每天堅(jiān)持寫(xiě)Summary的，但有時(shí)因?yàn)樘τ袝r(shí)因?yàn)樘哿司驮试S自己中間留白幾天。以前高中班主任（數(shù)學(xué)老師）常說(shuō)，每天學(xué)習(xí)打9折，五天后累計(jì)不是9折，而是5.9折（5個(gè)0.9相乘）。雖然我至今也沒(méi)弄清這個(gè)邏輯所在，但可以肯定的一點(diǎn)是，每天對(duì)自己妥協(xié)一點(diǎn)，日積月累之后，一定會(huì)被那些完美執(zhí)行計(jì)劃的人甩開(kāi)一大截。
