As is symbolically revealed in the cartoon, a strong man is trying to find gold in a huge stone. In the portrayal, holding an axe with his firm hands, he is digging out of the stone of despair for a piece of precious gold. The caption indicates that "Only through innovation can we make progress; conservatism means regression."
The purpose of the drawing is to show us that utmost importance should be attached to innovation and creativity. To begin with, innovativeness could be said to be the motto of science. Think about the countless scientific experiments, laboratory tests and live trials, before a new medicine or vaccine is discovered. In addition, many of today's business successes can be ascribed to innovation. For instance, at the company where I personally worked, it was only after four years and four tries of different business models that its entrepreneur finally succeeded, and became the chairman of one of the largest Internet companies.
To sum up, in any field of endeavor, it seems necessary to put great emphasis on innovation before one can finally become successful.
正如这幅漫画象征性地揭示的那样,一名强壮的男性正试图从一块巨石中找出黄金。在
漫画中,他用坚定的双手握着一把斧头,试图从绝望之石中挖出希望之金。文字说明显示:“创
新才能发展,守业就是退步。”
这幅漫画的目的是告诉我们应该充分重视创新。首先,创新精神可以说是科学研究的信条。想想看,只有在进行了无数次的科学实验、实验测试和活体试验之后,才能发明出一种新药物或新疫苗。其次,创新也是当今许多企业成功的原因。例如,我本人工作过的一家公司曾经尝试了四种不同的商业模式,历经四年才获得成功。该企业的创办者也成了最大的互联网公司之一的董事长。
总之,无论在任何领域,似乎只有重视创新,才能获得最后的成功。
