【Living Abundantly】Innovation

2016-10-23 3,458 Y133 Course - Living Abundantly

One must constantly reflect, and in the process of reflection, it is essentially based on a new subject that you need to explore.

Innovation Springs from Exploration

Innovation is everyone's business, did you know that? If you didn't, you should. I've noticed some people live very tiring lives. Why? They don't innovate! Not innovating is a serious matter. Let's take a simple example from daily life: cleaning and washing the car.

When Encountering Problems, Explore and Seek Answers

In 2005, I bought a car, a white one that I particularly liked because I'm fond of cleanliness. Most people say white cars easily get dirty, and indeed, there was a patch of black grime on the side that I couldn't wipe off no matter what. I always thought it was a paint issue, so I took it to the dealership's repair shop. I told the boss, Look at your car's paint; it's really not good! It's become like this after only a few months.

Then the repair shop owner found a Bengali worker with dark skin. He had a can, like the small ones used for tea with condensed milk in Singapore, with a small hole poked in the top. He poured out something like milk, put it on a cloth, and wiped the paint, making it shine. I thought this stuff was miraculous!

Neither the car wash nor the detergents I bought could remove that grime! What was he holding? He said, Do you want to wash it? I asked him, How much? He replied, Eighty Singapore dollars! I said, How long will it take? Fifteen minutes! Fifteen minutes for eighty Singapore dollars! I thought if I could save eighty Singapore dollars in fifteen minutes, I could wash it myself in fifteen minutes and consider it play!

So I started thinking about it. The liquid he had must be a chemical detergent. If I could find it, I could solve my problem. I searched everywhere. What was this milky detergent? I tried various laundry detergents, but nothing worked! Later, I asked someone who liked to clean, What's that milky stuff that makes things particularly bright and clean? He said it's called Cif. If you go to the supermarket to buy detergent, they sell it in tubs. One and a half Singapore dollars for a tub, enough to wash the car fifty times. I brought it back, wiped it on, and the effect was the same as the Bengali worker's. I saved eighty Singapore dollars! Was I tired? No.

So, innovation in life is directly related to what? It's directly related to your eyes, what you see, and what your mind thinks. Today, we've invited several guests, Brother WC, Sister YX, and other brothers and sisters who enjoy innovating. Everything requires innovation, so let's have them share their innovative experiences.

Sister KX's Sharing: Innovation in Composing Praise Songs

In the beginning, I hummed to myself and composed a few songs. People felt they sounded a bit like the theme song of Ultraman. So, I said, Let's change it. Then, I went to the pastor and Sister PL to revise the lyrics. Later, with Brother JX's post-production, the song transformed into a different form.

I innovate with every song I create. For the second song, Because of You, I Achieve a Better Me, I felt it should have a certain feeling, so I started working on it. At first, I always felt something was missing, so I tried adding different instruments. Ultimately, that formed the style of the second song.

Daring to Try When Facing Problems

I'm currently working on Brother HF's Kneel and Fight. My first impression of it was that it sounded like a military song, but I hadn't done that type of song before. Last night, I tried to make it feel like a march or a variation. As I was thinking and working on it, the feeling of the song emerged. Thank God!

For innovation, we all need to broaden our thinking. Let's start imagining now: If you're currently facing difficulties, can you innovate? I believe Sister YX has many such situations, preparing for micro-courses one moment and doing something else the next. Brother WC writes programs; if he doesn't innovate, he can't write them at all. The era we live in today is an era of innovation. If you can't innovate in this innovative era, it doesn't matter. I'll teach you how to innovate. If you can solve the problem of innovation, you'll be very successful in this lifetime!

Brother WC's Sharing: Innovation Springs from Problems

In early 2015, our church had an idea. The church had a lot of information that needed to be integrated, and many ministries were underway. At that time, the pastor led an IT team, and we discussed and raised questions. Because many people were using WeChat, sending information back and forth in groups, no one knew where the information ended up.

Moreover, no one knew if the information was up-to-date. Another problem we faced was the need to integrate and process many written ministry drafts.

At that time, everything was scattered across QQ, E-mail, and Word. Brothers HF and Sisters XY were particularly diligent. Innovation must stem from a pain point; innovation only happens when you're pushed to the brink. People don't innovate until they collapse a bit. We were facing such a problem at the time. Later, we searched for solutions.

At first, we wanted to find an information search engine, something similar to Google, where we could put things in and search. It seemed very grand, a huge thing. Then someone found one, saying it would cost tens of thousands of dollars a month. Of course, that was out of the question. First, it wasn't worth that much; second, as a programmer, I thought something that costs so much upfront probably isn't very valuable. So, we continued searching.

Pressure Brings Motivation

We seized on the requirement to organize written ministry work and to search better. We needed to be able to do everything for free and own everything. But I think Mingding Doctrine gave our church an important insight: Everything our church innovates is something we own.

Later? I remember a scene very clearly. I was in China at the time. During the New Year, I was tired and exhausted, sitting alone in a small, dark room. Because of this project, I was under some pressure. I knew Brothers HF and Sisters XY were also under pressure, and there were things still running. I spent all my energy searching for a solution, but there were no results. It was very painful.

I remember very clearly the posture I was in: lying on the bed with my legs raised, covered with a thick blanket like an Eskimo. The room was dark. Then, miraculously, I saw a line of words in a forum appear before my eyes: wiki. This is what you use now, the very first wiki.

We tried it, found it could solve the problem, and we would own it completely. All the original source code was on our side, solving many, many problems. Of course, our church faced new problems, such as the desire to edit Markdown sources more easily and to interact and communicate more quickly. Later, we gradually discovered and used Youdao Cloud to assist with these things. Little by little, we improved.

Next, our church has a very clear goal: to write our own software! But the most important point I want to make is that innovation must stem from problems. If you don't have a problem, random innovation certainly won't work. And it has to be a painful problem, a problem that pains you to the point of collapse. Then you can innovate.

Discovering Problems

Brother WC shared a very important concept: Do you have a problem? Have you seen your problem? If you have a problem in life and you don't solve it, you will face increasing pressure. We're saying now that everything requires innovation, so start with problems. What kind of problem are you facing now? What's a painful problem you have?

Today, our church is promoting a concept of innovation: starting from full-time coworkers, then district pastors, then to small group leaders. Sister YX, what pain points do you encounter when doing outreach? Or when shepherding in the pastoral district? How does she solve them?

Sister YX's Sharing: Innovation Springs from Pressure

Innovation springs from pressure, so where does my pressure come from? Because I do outreach, the pressure comes from two things: first, expanding the church's influence; second, bringing new people into the group. These two things are my goals! As long as I can achieve these goals, I've completed my work. Thank God that we haven't been able to achieve our goals easily! It constantly drives me in this process of innovation.

I've had roughly two areas of innovation recently: the innovation of micro-courses. Yesterday, the pastor gave me a draft, and I looked at it. After reading it, there was something in it that I thought was particularly good. One must use one's brain and practice problems. One must constantly reflect, and in the process of reflection, it is essentially based on a new subject that you need to explore.

You have to be ahead of others, if not ahead of everyone else, at least ahead of your team. You definitely need to obtain more fresh information than others. So, in the matter of my micro-course, I was actually obtaining such information: about current trends and directions.

In this industry, in this outreach or micro-platform, what's the latest trend? What new things can we use as tools for our church to achieve our goal of influence and bringing in new people?

Innovation is Fundamental to Improving Efficiency

Searching and looking on WeChat and many websites, I discovered that many people are using micro-courses now. It's not an innovation of our church, but for us, we need to use this era's innovative technologies and tools to help us achieve our goals. So, I joined a group—a group for mothers. Although I joined that group without any specific purpose, I did have a purpose to learn.

I entered that group and saw their process, how they conducted lessons step by step, and how they followed up. Eventually, I saw how they sold their products, and I felt this process greatly inspired me.

So, I quickly told the pastor that I wanted to create such a platform. Before creating the platform, I spent several days thinking about the process. I anticipated all the problems that we could think of that might arise during the course, and I wrote down the process step by step.

Later, I found that writing it out first greatly improved my efficiency, and second, we wouldn't seem so flustered throughout the process. Thank God, because of this micro-course innovation, our first group, after four lessons, has nearly 400 people. Now we're starting a second micro-course group, which is also increasing in numbers every day. It's already about sixty or seventy people now.

So I've found that throughout this process, we actually encounter many challenges. We have to use our brains every day. When you want to manage something, you have to think every day about what difficulties it might encounter, what sudden situations might arise, and how we can resolve them in a timely manner.

I think the biggest problem with this WeChat account is the need for some small innovation. Because our current WeChat account can only be logged in by one person, but the amount of information will continue to grow. Imagine if I spent so much time every day receiving everyone, I wouldn't have time to do anything else.

Later, I made an adjustment in the customer service area, which was to send content by writing messages to everyone. I organized a process that was also a reply template. When new people joined, I would give them this template, which greatly improved my efficiency.

But this is also a big problem I have in the future. This problem is also the innovation that I will discuss with the pastor: How can we ensure that our multiple platforms all have the best customer service to serve more brothers and sisters, so that when they contact us for the first time, they can get our quick feedback and timely information? So these are some of my recent innovations and experiences in micro-courses.

How to Innovate

I believe Sister YX has raised another point, which is that when you see a problem, you try to solve it. Trying to solve it requires exploration, searching, and understanding, doesn't it? It doesn't necessarily have to be successful the first time. Seeing a problem and striving to solve it, that is innovation. In the process of solving this problem, what is most needed? It is the ability to see the future, that is called a dream.

If we think carefully today, you will find that if a person does not innovate, his life will be very boring. Have you noticed that the joy brought by solving a problem through innovation is better than eating bear paws, shark fins, or bird's nest? He is particularly happy.

So today we need to start restoring the mechanism of innovation. When we encounter a problem and dwell on it, it creates pressure. Therefore, a person under great pressure must be moving forward from somewhere. So what is the benefit of Genesis? The benefit is:

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. (Genesis 1:1-3)

That is to say, innovation starts from formlessness and emptiness, darkness over the face of the deep. Today, if you have a state of formlessness and emptiness, darkness over the face of the deep, that is the beginning of creation. If that is the beginning of creation, let's solve a problem. What is this problem? What is the beginning of this creation? It is seeing the future through faith!

Today I want to challenge the brothers and sisters in our church, especially those who are district pastors. How many people can a pastoral district pastor? Can a pastoral district pastor two hundred people? Can it? So now I am making this attempt. In my mind, I have a dream. I see the problem we face is whether a pastoral district can pastor 200 people. Of course, there are small group leaders and others who support and help him to do pastoral care together. Can this pastoral care become more efficient?

Innovation in Matters Big and Small

I am a person who particularly likes innovation. When I worked in Singapore, I won many innovation awards. Let me tell you, those innovation methods are very clever. When I think about them myself, they are like wiping black stains off a car. I was thinking, can pastoral care be done with something like a robot, a pastoral care robot?

One day I went to dinner, and there were guests. Then someone called me. I looked at the number, it was a Chinese number, and he was making an international call. I asked him what he wanted me for. He said, My child has been crying, can you pray for my child? At that time, I thought in my heart, I am a person with a strong character. If I start praying for him, I won't stop if he doesn't get better. But I was facing a guest, I couldn't just pray for two minutes and be done with it, just deal with it and move on, and then continue to take care of my guests. I don't like to do such things.

At that time, I made a decision. I said, How about this, I will record a prayer and send it to you, and you use this prayer to lead the child in prayer. She said okay. So I recorded a twenty-second prayer using WeChat in front of my guests. After sending it, I was thinking about this matter. The boldness of this innovation was too great, was this method useful, was it effective?

Later, after five minutes, she sent me a message, saying that her child was better. At that time, I had a flash of inspiration, why can't we do this? That is to say, in the future, we are very likely to continue to move in this direction.

Why can't our healing and deliverance ministry record some healing and deliverance prayers for headaches, backaches, and leg pains? Is this useful? It may be useful, or it may not be, but we need to try! If people are pastored in this way, it saves a lot of time. One person can play it countless times, play it non-stop for three hours, and I can set it to automatic loop, that is, keep playing it.

Some time ago, we did a small innovation, we created a reading group, and later turned it into number one group. What did we do? We kept broadcasting sermons there, and many people listened to it from time to time, and those who entered would be edified. So today, can brothers and sisters be more bold to explore the innovative power within us, and be bold to try.

So there is cloud church, cloud pastoral care and so on. Recently, what is the benefit of Sister YX's micro-course? It can be asynchronous. That person comes back from work and has to climb the stairs, listening layer by layer is also very good, really good. So we must be bold in innovation.

Ma Yun has 30,000 employees. He said: Next year, 2013, I want to double our turnover, you tell me, what do you need. The personnel department said they needed more than 7,000 employees. Ma Yun said no; five thousand? Ma Yun said no; two thousand? Ma Yun said no. One thousand? Ma Yun said go back and redo the plan. In the end, two hundred, is two hundred okay? He reluctantly agreed. By 2013, he had not increased a single employee, and the turnover of the entire Alibaba doubled. What happened? Innovation!

Solving the Same Problems with Different Methods

Doing the same thing, using different methods; even using many different things to do many things, this is really amazing. Today, our brothers and sisters must start to innovate. I want to challenge some of you who have looked after children. What innovative methods have you used? I tell you, we can use innovation for taking care of children.

Sister XF's two sticks hung on the bed are also an innovation. For her, this method works. You know that the child will crawl on the bed, and he may fall on the ground when he is crawling. So what do you do? My son used to crawl when he was young, this thing is so dangerous, he is constantly moving! Some people just watch, buy a frame, buy a baby cot, and put him in it, let him crawl inside.

Is there any better way? Put it on the ground and hold a rope..., you start to think about it. Do you know what method I used? I pushed our bed to the corner of the wall, so two sides were against the wall. Then I tied a very thick rope with diapers on that corner, and tied it to his waist, and tied the other end to another pillar in the corner of the wall. No matter how he climbed, he could never escape the length of that rope.

That way I don't have to watch him. Do you know this method? Some parents are so stupid, the child is sleeping there, and they are watching. I don't know what they are watching, how can you not be stressed? There is no need to do this, why watch? Because he might crawl to the ground while sleeping, so you have to watch. I think this person's brain is very strange, that is to say, the places where we need to innovate, don't think it is high technology. Of course, high technology must be innovated.

Can you innovate in the little things in life? Let's talk about washing dishes, does anyone wash dishes? It seems that you don't wash dishes very much. How can you wash dishes the fastest, go back and think about it, that is the place where you innovate.

One day, Sister LY said that her boss asked her to write a report. She was very smart, and said: Pastor, my boss asked me to write a report. A report should be written like this, what to write in the first paragraph, what to write in the second paragraph, what to write in the third paragraph. When she encountered a problem, she could think for herself, and she had to ask others.

Sister YX helped her revise it, and then I helped her revise it again, and after sending it to her, she submitted it. After submitting it, do you know what happened? Her boss said you are going to get an A*. A* is the highest grade. Today, you have to write a resume, including there are many places to innovate. I think we have big and small, all kinds of innovation.

Innovation Requires Learning to Think

So today I will give you an assignment, go back and summarise what you have done, and then find your innovative opportunities. I think generally, when you talk to people, they say: Pastor, I don't have time, I am too stressed. These people need to innovate.

Actually, the concept in his head is that if a job cannot be done well in eight hours, then do it for ten hours; if it cannot be done well in ten hours, then do it for twelve hours; if it cannot be done well in twelve hours, then do it for sixteen hours; if it cannot be done well in sixteen hours, then do it for twenty hours; if it cannot be finished in twenty hours, then just don't sleep, and then die. This is not the way! This is just one parameter.

Another parameter is called innovation! Innovation is the root of improving efficiency. When efficiency is high, the level at which you solve problems is immediately different. If your efficiency is high and your costs are low, you will definitely create many business opportunities.

A few weeks ago, Brother HF and I went to find a place for the church. I wanted to find a place with a very high ceiling. The ceilings in Singapore are six meters high, some are four and a half meters high, anyway, they are quite high. Five or six meters high, it is very high when you enter, six meters high, and you can't use a lot of space unless you use it as a warehouse.

There are also some regulations in Singapore that you cannot build scaffolding, you cannot build a second floor in the house, and you cannot make a house inside the house. So I found a way, especially excited, and then I told a Singaporean, you quickly take this to do business.

Many of these places in Singapore have very high ceilings, but the area is not large. You need to do something inside, but you cannot violate government regulations. Do you know what method I found? A sauna room, and then there is a flat roof on top, and the flat roof has usable space. I put this trade secret in the video, those who hear it should go and do it. But I think this is innovation, which will bring you benefits.

The Value of Innovation

If you were the one who created Facebook in this era, you would be amazing; if you were the one who created Google in this era, you would be amazing; if you were the one who created Tencent in this era, you would be amazing. Do you still lack money? Do you still need to find a job? Do you still need to get a permit? Do you still need to go to university? Of course, you still need to go to university.

If you reach that point, what do you go to university for? The problem is not the problems we face, but the lack of solutions to the problems. For example, some people will say: Pastor, I must stay in Singapore no matter what.” Whether to stay in Singapore is not the key, the key is whether you have the ability to make a living.

If you have the ability to make a living, you will live well no matter where you are. If you don't have the ability to make a living, you will live miserably no matter where you are. Being poor in Singapore is about the same as being poor in China, being poor is about the same everywhere in the world. So everyone must come out of the narrow thinking no matter what. Don't misunderstand, I just said that a sauna room can be used as a partition, as a activity space. So everyone, go back and think about it today, do you have any opportunities.

Opportunity is also a Kind of Innovation

I often see some opportunities now, for example, being an internet celebrity is an opportunity. Can you build your internet celebrity? If you are an internet celebrity and earn three million RMB a year, what do you go to university for? Can university be eaten? So today, let our brothers and sisters all play to their strengths. If you are in sales, you need innovation. Remember: salespeople need innovation the most.

Innovation is most needed in all walks of life in our lives. I thank God for allowing me to work in the IT industry for twenty years. What I have learned in the IT industry is that things from three years ago are useless now. So I have been constantly updating, constantly updating has cultivated the habit of innovation. The habit of updating and innovating is a good habit, that is to say, you will always have many opportunities. If we put a label on our church, our church is a church with a particularly strong originality.

Our hymns are original hymns, our Bible study materials are original Bible studies, native-born and raised, absolutely cultivated by ourselves. It is is not on the Internet, you can't find it even if you search. Where does our originality come from? It comes from an dissatisfaction inside, and then we want to solve a problem for you from this dissatisfaction. For example, when I see some Bible study materials on the Internet, I say those are not good, because they can't be used, they can't be eaten! I will make one that can be eaten. Many people use our online Bible study materials, which is very helpful for building their own churches.

Creation is the Innate Essence of Christians

Where does innovation begin? It starts with identifying a problem. After seeing a problem, one begins to attempt to solve it. Solving this problem requires a dream. The most important thing for everyone to understand is that our God is a creative God! This means that creativity is an innate essence of Christians. If you are a Christian, you certainly cannot live in poverty. With constant innovation, how could you live in poverty?

If you are a Christian, you must allow the Holy Spirit to enter into you. You will begin to have visions and dreams. Therefore, the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and you will receive power. What is that power? It is creativity.

In the last days, God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh. Young men shall see visions, and old men shall dream dreams (Acts 2:17). This means that visions and dreams are the key to creation. So, what should we begin to do? We should start dreaming. Can you dream about how something should be? When you start having questions in your mind, you begin to create.

Church Growth: Constant Innovation

Our 201 and 101 courses are our creations. Of course, I, along with Sister XY and her team, and the pastoral teams, created them together. But in the process of creation, while organizing, I found many things that I was not satisfied with. My dissatisfaction pushed me to the point of almost being constrained. In and out, it always felt wrong, and I kept muttering about it.

Then Brother HF saw me and asked, Pastor, what's wrong? I said, I'm about to be constrained. That is, I was in a state where I was thinking about one thing day and night in my mind. Then, to a certain extent, it suddenly came out. And you know what I enjoyed most? Everything interconnected!

If Sister XY still remembers the earliest outline of the 201 course, it is completely different from what it is today. But without that previous case, there would be no today's version. Because that was the original version, a very poor version that just felt wrong. It felt very low from the beginning, and then we started redoing it, and as a result, we created this. Now I think it is at least usable, and then we can continue to inspire.

Our church's originality is very high. I don't like me too, that is, I also do it. I don't like following trends. Having visions and dreams is the key to creation. Visions and dreams come from the Spirit of God. If the Spirit of God is upon you, and you have these things inside, you will be powerful.

I will give everyone homework today. Please go back and think about how you certainly have opportunities in your life. Don't tell me, Pastor, I don't. District pastors can think about their growth points together with the brothers and sisters.

In the process of building the church, I have found that the most important key for people is growth. Growth is also called breakthrough, and breakthrough is also called growth. How to grow? Innovation and creation are called growth. Therefore, innovation and creation are the key to growth. If you are facing a situation that is incredibly stressful, that is an opportunity for creation. So start to experience your stress and solve your problems through innovation and invention. Where does innovation and invention begin? It starts with seeing a problem, having visions and dreams, and God will surely give you the ability to solve the problem.

In the future, our understanding of online churches will still have many deviations, and these deviations actually need to be thought about and adjusted. When we are solving problems, the definition of the problem itself must be more deeply understood. If the concept is not clear, nothing will be useful. So today, let us find the definition of this problem.

You must often know what your problem is. If you say your problem is selling things, then what is the problem with selling things? Why is my work efficiency so low? What is the problem with low work efficiency? Constantly search until you find it, and then you will find the bullseye, and you can grab the bullseye to solve the problem. That is called innovation!

Practicing Innovation in Life

Everyone, go back and think. This does not represent the end. You must have a dream and a vision to solve your problem. After solving your dreams and visions, never lose enthusiasm. If you lose enthusiasm, it cannot be solved. Don't think, Oh, Pastor is so annoying, giving me another task. There are already so many, and now there's another one. Besides writing reports, I also have to write about innovation. Can innovation be eaten? Yes, it can. Go back today and do it with enthusiasm, solve problems with enthusiasm, and you will achieve a purpose of your innovation, which is the improvement of efficiency.

If we are on the level of innovation and innovate a little bit every day, you will be powerful. Let's go back to the matter of washing dishes. I once bought a dishwasher, and a dishwasher cost more than a thousand yuan. Later, I only used it once and then didn't know what to do. I couldn't sell it, so I threw it away.

At that time, Sister RW wrote about a dishwasher accident. People who have used it know that it is useless. That is to say, in the process of innovation, sometimes you will fail. Your understanding and knowledge of the problem is not enough. Then you create a behemoth, and later you find out it is a white elephant, not very useful. Washing dishes encounters several problems: the first is the debris in the bowl.

I'll teach you my own method. I first wipe the debris into the trash can, and the bowl is basically clean. Then I take some detergent and brush it, very quickly. If you pile all the debris in the dishwashing basin, you create a lot of trouble for yourself. With this little attempt, I saved a lot of time.

Flexibility Regarding Problems

Do you know what the second attempt was? Because I washed them all clean, I didn't put them in the dishwashing sink. Because the dishwashing basin is very small, I put them together, and then I wash them one by one. Later, I made a comparison: should I wash them all together and rinse them, or rinse them one by one? If there are three or five bowls, I wash one clean and put it on top, the speed is faster. If there are twenty bowls, I wash them all together and rinse them together, the efficiency is higher.

Have you noticed that it is not the same as the size of your problem and the situation you are facing? You cannot use the management method of ten people to manage a hundred people, nor can you use the management method of a thousand people to manage a hundred people. In other words, you must keep pace with the times. This is the enlightenment I got from washing dishes. That is to say, the solution to the same problem is different because of the quantity.

So brothers and sisters, let us not be rigid. Don't think that using a dishwasher to wash a thousand is useful, but washing three bowls is like not washing at all. Today, brothers and sisters must have a flexible state, that is, the flexibility to solve problems. The examples of innovation are hard to imagine in their scale. From raising children to washing dishes, from washing dishes to learning, from learning to all kinds of things. That is to say, when you encounter a problem, you will definitely have a better solution.

I was once called to do a ball game where people stand in a circle and the ball cannot fall on the ground, one by one passing it. Pass it around once and see how long it takes. Do you know what level it finally reached? The first time we passed it around, it took two minutes and it fell on the ground. If it fell on the ground, we had to start over. Later, it took sixty seconds to pass it around. The coach said no, the best record is five seconds, five seconds to pass it around. Later, we found a way. People from tall to short put their hands there and let the ball roll down by itself, and it rolled to the bottom in five seconds.

You must never be rigid. There are many ways to solve a problem and achieve a goal. If you say that everyone in the world encounters this problem, it is not all the same. If you think that way, then you are in trouble. I will give everyone homework today. Leaders, take a look at where in your life you need to break through and innovate. Of course, if you are under a lot of pressure, you can start by solving these problems from yourself.

For example, if you are in charge of a ministry, you can innovate the process of doing things. The process is different, the solutions are different, and the results are completely different. So know that the process is also one of the ways to innovate. Tools, processes, and ideas are all ways to innovate. Everyone, with a strong intention, solve the problems in your service, life, and work one by one. The last choice is to fight for time, and the choice of time is the worst. I have a belief that our brothers and sisters all have the ability to create, and we all begin to dig them out!

我在2005年买了一辆车,是我比较喜欢的一辆白颜色的车,因为我特别喜欢干净的类型。大多数人说白色的车不耐脏,结果那个车边上就有一块怎么擦都擦不掉的黑垢。我一直以为那个黑垢就是漆的问题,就开去卖车的那个维修厂。我和那个老板说:你看你的这个车的油漆,真不好!还没开几个月就变成这样子了。 后来这个维修厂的老板就找了一个孟加拉黑皮肤的劳工,他手里拿了一个罐头盒,就像新加坡买茶放了炼奶油的那种小罐子,上面扎了一个小洞,倒出了一点像牛奶一样的东西。然后他倒在抹布上,往油漆上一擦,锃亮。我觉得这个东西神啊! 不管我在洗车店,还是买的那个洗涤剂,这东西都擦不掉!他手里这是什么东西呢?他说:你要不要洗?我就问他:多少钱?他回答:八十元新币!我说:你洗车多长时间?十五分钟!十五分钟我就要给他八十元新币,我就在想如果我十五分钟能省下八十元新币,我自己洗十五分钟就当作玩一样! 我就开始想办法,思考他手里的液体一定是一种化学的洗涤剂。只要我能找到它,我就能够解决我的问题了,我就到处寻找。这个牛奶状的洗涤剂到底是什么呢?试了各种各样洗衣服的洗涤剂都行不通!后来我就问一个喜欢打扫卫生的人,牛奶状、一擦东西特别的亮,特别的干净,那是什么东西?他说那叫做Cif。如果你到超市去买洗涤剂,那地方都是一桶一桶的。一元半新币买一桶,一桶可以洗车洗五十次。我拿回来一擦,效果跟孟加拉工人擦的一样。我就省了八十元新币!我有很累吗?没有。 所以说生活当中**创新跟什么东西有关呢?跟你的眼睛和你所看到的东西、你脑袋所想到的东西直接相关**。咱们今天邀请几位嘉宾,WC弟兄、YX姐妹,还有几位喜欢做创新的弟兄姐妹。 什么东西都需要创新,那么我们就请他们讲一下自己创新的经历。

在开始的时候我自己在心里面哼哼,然后创作了几首歌,大家就觉得有点像奥特曼的主题曲一样,那我就说改一下吧,之后我就去找牧师和PL姐妹改了一下歌词。后来加上JX弟兄后期的制作,那首歌就变了一种形式。 我在做每一首诗歌的时候都有一个创新。像第二首歌,《因为有你成就更好的我》那首歌,我觉得应该是要有这样的感觉,我就开始去做。刚开始的时候总感觉缺了一点什么,那我就找一些不一样乐器加在里面尝试,最终就形成了第二首歌的风格。

这一次我正在做HF弟兄的《屈膝而战》。它给我的第一种感觉就是军队的那种歌,但是我之前并没有做过这样类型的歌。我昨天晚上就在尝试可以把它做成进行曲或者变奏曲的那种感觉。我就开始在那里想,边想边做的时候,那首歌的感觉就出来了。感谢主! 创新,我们大家都要开阔一下思路。咱们现在就开始想象一下,如果你现在所面临的困难,是否能够去创新?我相信YX姐妹有很多这样的情况,一会准备微课,一会是做别的什么事情。WC弟兄那里是写程序,写程序你要是不创新根本就写不了。今天我们所处的时代,是一个创新的时代。如果在这个创新的时代,你不会创新,没有关系,我教你创新。你如果能够解决创新的这个问题,你这一辈子已经很厉害了!

我们教会在2015年初的时候有这样一个想法。教会有很多的信息需要整合,也有很多事工正在进行当中。当时牧师在带领一个团队是IT的团队,我们就去讨论,就提出问题。 因为有很多人都是通过微信,你发给我一个,我发给你一个,他发给他一个。一个群里编发了很多很多的信息,最后就不知道到哪里去了。 而且这个信息是最新的还不是最新的?没有人知道。当时还面临的一个问题,就是很多的文字事工稿件也要进行整合和处理。 当时大家都是在整个QQ、E-mail 和Word乱飞的状态,HF弟兄和XY姐妹也特别的辛苦。**创新一定源自于一个痛点,你自己被逼到不行的状态下才会创新。人不崩溃一下,他不会创新**。当时我们就面临了这样一个问题,后来我们去寻找。 刚开始我们想找一个信息搜索的引擎,类似于一个Google那样东西,把东西放进去就可以搜索,好像很宏大,很庞大的东西。然后有个人就找到一个,说每个月要交几万元钱,当然这肯定不行的。第一点它本来就不值那么多钱;第二点就是像我这样程序员的想法,如果一个东西一上来就要花这么多钱,它的价值应该不怎么样。后来我们就继续寻找。

我们就抓住这个要求,需要整理文字事工这个事情。我们需要更好的搜索,我们需要尽量能够免费,能够拥有所有的所有权。但是我觉得神给我们教会一个很重要的启示,我们教会所有创新的东西都是我们所拥有产权的东西。 后来呢?我记得很清楚的一个场景,当时我正在国内。过年的时候,我也很累、很疲倦,一个人蹲在小黑屋子里面。因为这个项目我其实也冒着一些压力,我很清楚HF弟兄和XY姐妹也有这样一个压力,还有一些东西正在运行着。当时把我所有的精力都花在这个寻找上面,也没有任何的成果,非常痛苦。 我记得很清楚,当时我那个姿势是这样子的:趴在床上两个腿翘起来,整个人后面盖着被子,衣服穿的厚厚的,就跟一个爱斯基摩人一样。屋子很暗,当时非常神奇的一个事情,就是我在论坛里面看到一行字,突然就出现在我眼前,叫做wiki。这个就是大家现在使用的wiki,最起始的一个。 我们就去尝试,发现能够解决问题,并且这个东西是我们将会拥有它的所有权。所有的原文件源代码都在我们这边,解决了很多很多问题。当然我们的教会又面临一些新的问题,比如希望能够更简易的去编辑Markdown的源,希望能够更快速进行互动跟交流。之后我们又逐渐去发现,用有道云协助这些,一点一点我们在进步。 下一步,我们的教会有一个很清楚的目标。要写自己的软件!但是我想说的这些最重要的一点,就是创新一定源自于问题。如果你们没有一个问题,瞎创新肯定是不行的。 而且有是一个很痛的问题,让自己痛到可以崩溃的问题,你就能创新了。

WC弟兄讲了一个非常重要的概念,就是你有没有问题,看到你的问题了没有。如果我们生活当中有问题,你不去解决,你一定会越来越大的压力。咱们现在说什么东西要创新,就从问题开始。你现在遇到了一个什么样的问题?你有一个很痛的问题是什么? 咱们今天教会里面要推动一个创新的概念:就是从全职同工,再到区牧,然后再到小组长都要推动创新。YX姐妹在做外展的时候遇到什么痛点?或者是在牧区牧养的时候遇到什么痛点?她是怎么解决的?

创新来源于压力,那么我的压力来自哪里呢?因为我做外展的,外展的压力来源于两个:第一点扩大教会的影响力;第二点带领新人入群。这两个东西是我的目标!只要能达到这个目标,就等于完成了我的工作。很感谢神,在这个过程中只是没有能够轻而易举的让我们达成目标!它不断地促使我在这么一个创新的过程。 我最近创新大概有两个点:第一个就是微课堂的创新。 昨天牧师给了我一个稿子,我看了一下。看完了以后里面有一个东西,我觉得特别好。**人要动动脑,操练题。人要常常的去思考,在思考的过程中,其实是根据自己新的一个课题,你要去研究。** 你要走在别人的前面,虽然不是走在其他人的前面,至少你要走在你团队的最前面。你肯定要比别人获取更多的一些新鲜的信息。 所以,在我的这个微课堂的这件事情上,其实我是获取了这样的一个信息。比较时代趋势风向的这样一些东西! 在这个行业里面,在这个外展或者是微平台上,它里面最新的是一个怎样的风向。有什么样的一个新的东西,是可以做我们教会的一个使用工具,以至于可以达到我们这样一个目标,就是影响力和带进新人 。

在微信平台上去搜索、去看,去了解很多的网站上,就会发现现在很多人都在用微课堂。它不是属于我们教会的创新,但是对我们来讲,我们需要利用这个时代创新的技术和工具来帮助我们达到我们的目标。所以我后来进到了一个群里面,当时我进到那个群里面是给妈妈们的一个群,虽然我进那个群对我来说没有任何目的,但是我还是有一个目的就是去学习。 我进入到那个群里面看到他们的流程,一步步去进行,怎样去授课,到后来怎么去跟进。以至于到后来如何把他们的产品卖出去,然后我就觉得这个流程给我一个很大的激发。 所以我就很快的跟牧师讲我想要做这样一个平台,那这个平台我在做之前,其实做了好几天流程的思考。我把所有我们能想到的,就是在这个课程中间会遇到的问题,我都会在这之前能够想到,然后会把它的流程一一的写出来。 后来发现写出来以后,首先给我提高了很大的效率;第二就是在整个过程中我们不会显得那么的慌乱。非常感谢神,我们后来因为这样一个微课堂的创新,现在平均从第一个群上了四节课以后,那么这个群里面将近有400个人。然后我们现在开始第二个微课堂的群,那这个群里面,现在也是每天都在增加人数,现在差不多已经有六、七十个人。

所以我发现在这整个过程中其实我们也遇到了很多挑战,就是说我们每一天都要动脑筋。当你要管理这个东西的时候,你每天都要去思考它里面会遇到怎样的困难,或者是它现在会突发的状况,以及我们如何去及时解决。 在这个微信号我觉得最大的一个问题,就是要有个小创新。因为我们现在的微信号只有一个人可以登录,但是随着这个信息量会越来越大。假想我每一天花这么多时间去进行接待每一个人,如果是这样去接待的话,那么我其他事情就不用做了。 后来我是在客服这一块做了一个调整,就是把从写信息的内容发给大家。我就整理了一个流程也是一个回复的模版,那如果有新人加进来的时候,我就会把这个模版给他,大大提升了我的效率。 但是这个也是我今后的一个很大的困惑,这个困惑也是我接下来要和牧师讨论的创新。就是如何能够让我们的多个平台,同时都能有最好的客服来服务更多弟兄姐妹。让他们第一时间接触到我们的时候,就能得到我们很快的反馈和及时的信息。所以这是我最近一段时间在微课堂的一些创新和一些体会。

我想这个YX姐妹又提到了另外一个事情,就是你看到了一个问题,你要去尝试解决这个问题,尝试解决这个问题就要去探索、摸索和了解,是不是?并不一定得一次成功,**看到了一个问题并努力去解决一个问题,这就是创新。那么在解决这个问题的过程当中,需要的是什么?最需要的就是你能够看到未来,那个叫做梦想**。 今天我们仔细去思考的话,你会发现这个人如果不创新,他活着就会很没意思。你有没有发现他创新解决了一个问题以后所带来的那个喜乐,比吃熊掌、吃鱼翅、吃燕窝的感觉都好,他特别的开心。 所以我们今天要开始恢复创新的机制,当我们遇到一个问题,然后停留到那个问题上就会产生压力,所以一个压力很大的人,他一定从一个地方往前迈进。所以《创世记》它的好处在哪呢?它的好处就是: **起初神创造天地,地是空虚混沌,渊面黑暗;神的灵运行在水面上。神说:要有光。就有了光。(《创世记》1:1-3)** 也就是说创新是从空虚混沌,渊面黑暗开始的。今天如果你有一个空虚混沌,渊面黑暗的状态,那就是创造的开始。如果那是创造的开始,咱们就解决一个问题,这个问题是什么呢?这个创造的开始是什么?是**透过信心看到未来!** 今天我就挑战我们教会的弟兄姐妹,尤其是做区牧的。一个牧区能牧养多少人,能不能一个牧区牧养二百人,能吗?那么现在我就在做这个尝试,在我的头脑里面有一个梦想。我看见所面临的问题就是一个牧区能否牧养200个人,当然这个下面有小组长这些人一起扶持,帮助他一起做牧养,那这个牧养能不能变得更有效率。

我是一个特别喜欢创新的人,那我在新加坡做工的时候得了很多创新奖。我给你说创新的那些办法可巧了,我自己想起来就跟擦车的黑色污渍是一样。那我在想牧养能不能用叫做robot,牧养的机器人。 有一天我去吃饭,刚好有客人在,然后有一个人打电话来,我一看是一个中国的号码,他打的是国际电话。我就问他找我什么事,他说:我孩子一直在哭,你能不能为我的孩子祷告。当时我心里在想,我是一个有性格的人。如果我开始为他祷告,他不好我不会停止。可是我面对一个客人,我不可能祷告两分钟就OK,对付一下然后就过去,然后接着继续照顾我的客人,我不喜欢做这样的事情。 当时我就做了一个决定,我说这样吧,我录一个祷告的声音发给你,你就用这个祷告的声音带着孩子祷告。她说好,我就用微信录了一个二十秒的祷告,在我的客人面前。发过去以后,我心里就惦记着这件事。这个创新的胆子也太大了,这个做法有用吗,是否有效果? 后来在五分钟之后她发了一个信息给我,她说她孩子好了。当时我就灵机一动,那为什么我们不能这样做呢?也就是说,将来我们很有可能继续朝着这个方向推。 我们的医治释放为什么不能录制一些头疼的、腰疼的、腿疼的医治释放祷告,这样是否有用呢?可能有用,也可能没有,但是需要尝试啊!如果人这么牧养的话,那么节省特别多时间,一个人可以播无数遍,三个小时不停的放,那我可以给它调自动循环,就是一直放。

前一段时间,我们做了一个小创新,建了一个读书的群,后来把它变成了一号群。做了一件什么事呢?就是一直在那里播讲道,时不时好多人在里面听,那么进去的人就会得造就。所以今天弟兄姐妹能不能够再大胆的去发掘我们里面创新的力道,大胆的去尝试。 所以有云教会,云牧养之类的很多。最近YX姐妹的微课,你知道是什么好处吗?它可以异步,那个人下班回来就要爬楼,一层一层听下去也挺好,真的很不错。所以我们要大胆的创新。 马云有三万名员工,他说:明年2013年,我要使我们的营业额加倍,你们告诉我,你们需要什么。人事部门说要七千多个员工,马云说no;五千?马云说no;两千?马云说no。一千?马云说再回去重新做计划吧。到最后两百,两百总行了吧?勉强同意了。到了2013年他一个员工都没增加,整个阿里巴巴的营业额加了一倍,发生了什么事情?创新!

在做同样的事,用不同的方法;甚至还能用很多不同的东西,做很多的事情,这真是非常的厉害。今天咱们弟兄姐妹一定要开始创新。我想挑战一些在我们当中看过孩子的人,看过孩子的人用的什么创新办法?我告诉你看孩子的,我们都可以用到创新。 XF姐妹的两个棍子挂到床上都是一种创新,对她来讲,这个办法管用。你知道这个小孩会在床上爬,他在爬的时候可能会掉地上,那你怎么办?我儿子小时候他也会爬,这件事情多危险,他不停的动啊!有的人就看着,买个架子、买个婴儿框,往里一放,他在里面爬去吧。 还有没有比较好的办法?放地上拿着绳子......,你就开始琢磨了。你知道我用什么办法吗?我把我们家的床推到墙角,所以有两个边都是靠墙。然后在那个墙角上用尿布捆了一个非常粗的绳子,我给他绑到腰上,同时这一边绑到墙角的另一个柱子上。不管他怎么爬,永远逃不出那绳子的长度。 这样我就不用看着他,那你知道这个方法吗?有一些父母可笨了,孩子在那里睡觉,看着。我不知道他在看什么,你压力能不大吗?没有必要这样做,为什么看着呢?因为他睡觉可能爬到地下吗,所以得看着。我就觉得这个人脑子很奇怪,也就是说咱们要创新的地方你不要以为是高科技,高科技当然要创新。

生活当中的点点滴滴的事你能不能去创新?我们大家说洗碗这个事情,有人洗碗吗?好像你们都不怎么洗碗。洗碗怎么才能洗的最快,回去思考一下,那是你创新的地方。 有一天LY姐妹说老板让她写一个汇报,她很聪明,说:牧师,我们老板让我写汇报。写汇报应该这么写,第一段写什么,第二段写什么,第三段写什么。当她遇到了问题,她可以自己思考,也得问别人。 YX姐妹帮她修改一下,然后我帮她再改一下,发给她以后,她就交了。交了以后你知道发生什么事,她老板说你要拿A\*了。A\*就是最高的等级。今天你要写简历,包括要创新的地方非常的多,我想咱们有大有小,各种各样的创新。

那我今天给大家留个作业,回去总结一下你所做的东西,然后找出你创新的机遇。我想一般的人,你跟他讲话的时候,就说:牧师我没时间,我压力太大了,这样的人都需要创新。 其实他的脑袋里的概念就是如果八个小时都做不好的工作,那就做十个小时;如果十个小时做不好,那就十二个小时;如果十二个小时做不好,那就十六个小时;如果十六个小时做不好,那就二十个小时;二十个小时做不完就不睡觉了,然后就死了,这不是路啊!这只是一个参数。 另外一个参数就叫做创新!创新是提高效率的根本,效率高了,你立刻解决问题的层次就不一样了。效率又高而你的成本又低,你一定会成为创造很多的商机。 前几个礼拜我和HF弟兄去找教会用的地方,我就希望找一个顶架很高的。新加坡的顶架有六米高,有四米五高,反正都挺高。五、六米的房子进到里面很高,六米的房子顶架很多空间你都用不上,除非你用来做货仓。 新加坡还有些规定就是你不能搭架子,不能够在房子里搭建二层楼,不能做屋子里的屋子。所以我找了一个办法,特别的兴奋,后来我就跟一个新加坡人讲,你赶紧拿着这个做生意去吧。 新加坡很多这些地方都是顶架很高,但是面积不大,你需要在里面做,但是又不能违背政府规定。你知道我找了一个办法就是桑拿房,然后上面就是平顶,平顶就有可以利用的空间,我把这个商业秘密放到录像里头,听到的就去做吧。但我想这就是创新,会给你带来效益。

如果你是这个时代做的脸书,你就厉害了;如果你是这个时代做的谷歌,你就厉害了;如果你是这个时代你创造的腾讯,你就厉害了。你还缺钱吗?你还需要找工作吗?你还需要拿准证吗?你还需要考大学呀?当然考大学还是要考的。 你如果做到那个地步,大学你考它做什么。问题不在于我们面临的问题,是没解决问题的办法。比如一些人会说:牧师,我无论如何要留在新加坡。**是否留在新加坡不是关键,关键是你有没有一个谋生的能力。** 你有谋生的能力,无论在哪里都会活的很好。如果你没有谋生的能力,在哪儿都活的很惨。在新加坡做穷人和在中国做穷人差不多,在世界各地哪儿做穷人都差不多。所以大家无论如何都要从狭隘的思路里面出来。大家不要误解,桑拿房我只是说可以拿出来做一个隔间,做一个活动的空间。所以咱们今天回去思考一下,你有没有机会。

我现在常常看到一些机会,比如说网红就是一个机会,你能不能打造你的网红?如果你是网红一年赚三百万人民币,你考大学做什么?大学可以吃吗?所以今天咱们弟兄姐妹都发挥一下,如果你是做销售的,你需要的是创新。记住:销售员是最需要创新的行业。 我们生活当中的各行各业最需要的就是创新。我感谢神让我在It的行业里做了二十年,我在IT这个行业里边学到的就是三年前的东西,现在没用了。**所以就一直在更新,不断的更新就养成了创新的习惯**。更新和创新的习惯是一个好习惯,也就是说你永远都会有很多的机会。如果给咱们教会贴一个标签的话,咱们教会是一个原创性特别强的教会。 我们的诗歌是原创的诗歌,我们的查经资料是原创的查经,土生土长的,绝对是我们自己培育出来的。在网上没有,你找也找不着。我们原创是从哪来的,是从里边有一个不满足感,然后我们要从这个不满足给你们解决一个问题。比如说我在网上看到的一些查经资料,我就说那些不行,因为都不能用,也不能吃啊!我就做一个能吃的,有很多人利用我们网上的查经资料,对于建造他们自己的教会有很大的帮助。

创新是从哪儿开始?是从看到问题开始。看到问题之后开始尝试解决这个问题。解决这个问题要有一个梦想,最重要的一点大家要了解一件事,**我们的神是有创造力的神!也就是说在创造这件事情上,是基督徒与生俱来的一个本质**。你是一个基督徒,你肯定不能过穷日子,你总是创新怎么能过穷日子呢。 如果你是一个基督徒,你一定要让圣灵进入到你的里面。你里边开始有异象、有梦想。所以圣灵要降在你们的身上,你们必得着能力。那个能力是什么,就是创造力。 神在末后的日子要用他的灵来浇灌凡有血气的。少年人要看异象,老年人要做异梦(《使徒行传》2:17)。也就是说异象和异梦是创造的关键。所以我们要开始做什么呢,我们要开始做梦。能不能够梦想说这个东西应该是这个样子,你在脑子里面开始有问题的时候,你就开始创造了。

我们的201课程、101课程是我们的创造。当然我和XY姐妹她们的团队,和牧区的团队一起创造。但是在这个创造的过程当中,在整理的时候,我发现有很多东西都是我不满意的。我不满意,我就把我自己逼到一个地步,就是有点儿快被辖制的地步。进去、出来,这个东西总觉得不对,嘴里一直在叨咕着。 然后HF弟兄看见我,问:牧师你怎么了。我说:我快受辖制了。就是到了那种状态,脑子里白天黑夜都想着一件事。然后到一定的程度突然就出来了,出来了之后你知道我最享受的是什么?环环相扣! 如果XY姐妹还记得最早的201课程的轮廓,和今天的完全面目全非。但是没有前面的那个案例,就没有今天的这个。因为那个是原始的版本,很烂的版本,看着就觉得不对。一开始就觉着很low,然后就开始重新做,结果就把这个做出来了。到现在我觉得至少可以用,然后接下来可以继续的来激发。 我们教会的原创性是非常的高。我不喜欢me too,就是我也是。我不喜欢跟风,**有意向、有梦想是创造的关键**。异象和梦想是从神的灵来的,神的灵如果在你身上,你里面再有这个,你就厉害了。

我今天给大家留个作业,请大家回去思考,在你生活当中你一定有机会,你不要告诉我说:牧师我没有。区牧都可以和弟兄姐妹一起思考他们的成长点。 我在建立教会的这个过程当中,我发现人最重要的关键就是成长。成长也叫突破,突破也叫成长。怎么成长,创新、创造叫做成长。所以说**创新和创造是成长的关键**。如果你在面临一个光景,这个光景是压力巨大无比,那是创造的机会。所以开始体会你的压力,从创新发明来解决你的问题。创新发明是从哪里开始?是从看到问题,有异象、有梦想,神一定会赐给你解决问题的能力。 将来我们对于网络教会的理解还有很多的偏差,这个偏差实际上需要去思考和调整。当我们在解决问题,对问题的定义本身就要有更深的了解。概念不清楚,做什么也没有用。所以咱们今天把这个问题的定义找到。 要常常知道自己的问题是什么?如果你说,我的问题是把东西卖出去,那把东西卖出去的问题是什么?我为什么工作效率这么低,工作效率低的问题是什么?不断地去寻找,找到以后你就找到了靶心,你就可以抓住靶心解决问题。那就叫创新!

大家回去思考,这并不代表结束,一定要有一个梦想和异象来解决你的问题。在解决梦想和异象之后,千万不要失去热情。如果失去热情,不可能解决的。不要觉得:哎呀,牧师烦死了,又给我一个任务,已经够多了,又来了一个。除了写汇报,还要写创新。创新能吃吗?能吃,今天回去带着热情去做,带着热情去解决问题,你就会达到一个你创新的目的,就是效率的提升。 如果说我们在创新的层面,每天创新一点点你就厉害了。咱们回到洗碗这件事,我曾经买过一个洗碗机,一个洗碗机花费了一千多元钱。后来只用了一次,然后不知道该怎么办,卖也卖不掉,后来就丢掉了。 当时RW姐妹写了一个洗碗机事故,用过的人都知道没什么作用。就是说你在创新的过程当中,有的时候会失败。你对问题的了解认识不够,不足。然后你做起来一个庞然大物,后来发现是个白象,没什么太大用。那洗碗这个事情遇到几个问题:第一个就是说碗里面的零碎。 我教一下大家我自己的做法,我先把那零碎擦到垃圾桶里,那个碗基本就干净了。然后拿点洗涤剂一刷,非常的快。如果把那些零碎都堆在洗碗盆里面,自己给自己制造很多麻烦。我就这样一个小小的尝试,节省了我很多的时间。

第二个尝试你知道是什么吗?因为我把它都洗干净了,我不把它放到洗碗池里面。因为洗碗盆很小,我把它们放在一起,然后我一个一个洗。后来我做了一个比较,我是把它洗完了一起冲,还是一个一个冲。如果要是三个、五个碗,我洗完一个干净一个,放在上面,速度比较快。如果有二十个碗我一起洗,一起冲,效率比较高。 你有没有发现,跟你问题的大小,跟你们面临的状况,有的时候不是一回事。十个人的管理方式和一百个人的管理方式,你不能用十个人的管理方式来管理一百个人。你也不能用一千个人的管理方式来管理一百个人。也就是说,**要与时并进**,我这是从刷碗得到的启示。也就是说同样一个问题,他解决的方法都不一样,是因为数量的问题。 所以兄姐妹,我们不要僵化。不要以为用洗碗机来洗一千个好用,但洗三个婉,就跟没洗一样。今天弟兄姐妹一定**要有一个灵活的状态,就是解决问的灵活性**,创新的例子,很难想象它的数量级。从养孩子到洗碗,洗碗到学习,学习到各种各样。也就是说,当你遇到一个问题的时候你一定会有一个更好的解决方法。

我曾经被叫去做了一个球的游戏,人站成一个圈,球不能掉在地上,一个一个传过去。传一圈儿看多长时间。你知道最后达到什么程度吗?我们第一次传一圈,两分钟,还掉在地上,一掉地上就得重来。后来传一圈六十秒,教练说不行,最好的记录是五秒,五秒传一圈。后来找着办法了,从高到低的人,手都放那里,让球自己滚下去,五秒就滚到底。 你就是千万不要僵化,解决一个问题,达到一个目标,方法很多。如果你说全世界每个人遇到这个问题,不都是一样,不是这样。如果你认为是那样,那你就麻烦了。我今天给大家留下一个作业,领袖看一看生活当中哪个地方需要来突破、创新。当然如果你自己的压力很大,你可以先从你的自身着手来解决这些问题。 你比如说如果负责一个事工,做事情的流程都可以去创新。流程不一样,解决的方法不一样,效果完全不同。所以要知道流程也是其中创新的办法。工具、流程、点子都是创新的办法。大家带着一个强烈的企图心,把自己的服侍、生活、工作里面的问题,一个一个的去解决。最后选择的就是拼时间,时间的选择是最糟糕的,我有一个信念,我们弟兄姐妹身上都有创造的能力,我们开始都把它们挖掘出来!
