So he made a deal: as long as he got a Jewish businessman's daughter, he would cancel his debt. He said, "Let God decide this matter." He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty wallet and let the girl choose one.
If she chooses black pebbles, she will marry a usurer and her father's debts will be written off. If she chooses white pebbles, she doesn't have to marry him, and her debt is cancelled.
But if she refuses to choose, her father will be sent to prison. So they had to accept the proposal. At that time, they were standing in the back garden of the usurer, with a black-and-white path paved with pebbles at their feet.
So the usurer picked up two pebbles, and the sharp-eyed girl found that they were two identical black pebbles. Then, the usurer asked the girl to choose one.
If it were you, what would you do at this moment?
The girl reached into the moneybag of the usurer and took out a pebble, but she accidentally lost it before anyone could see it. Because there are black and white pebbles everywhere on the ground, it is impossible to tell which one has just landed.
The remaining pebbles must be black, and the usurer dare not admit the deception just now, so the girl's choice can only be white. So the debt was written off and the girl didn't have to marry a usurer.
This is the power of "reverse thinking". When we can't solve problems with "positive thinking", don't forget that we have another choice.
The concrete embodiment of "reverse thinking" in this story is that the girl did not use the selected pebbles to decide the final result. Instead, she decided the final result with the remaining pebbles.
Generally speaking, the market is good and the effect of making money is bursting. People who open accounts can line up from the counter to the gate, and the aunt who dances in the square dance also knows that stock trading can make money. And the result? When the market is bad, most investors are trapped at the top of the stock price, lonely and cold, what a painful experience. This is a common problem, and it also pokes the pain point of most people. How simple it is to throw high and suck low, take profit and stop loss, but how many people can do it together?
