No one can be an island

The most exciting moment in the film was when Turing happened to hear Clark's friend in the tavern mentioning the habit of sending her a telegram from a man he had never met in Germany, and he suddenly got an improvement in the efficiency of the machine, Christopher. inspiration. So, under the leadership of Turing, a group of people rushed to the studio. Even Xio didn't hesitate to give up the conversation with the girl he liked. Everyone was excited in front of the machine, busy in the office. Finally, I saw the deciphered information and confirmed that after Sinigma was conquered, several people who fought side by side from darkness to dawn couldn't help hugging and crying. It was the most beautiful scenery in the whole movie.

The interesting thing is that the final step was not achieved by Turing while he was working, but when he was sitting in a tavern chatting with people. It seems to be the case a lot of the time. After we have experienced countless nights of thinking and sleepless nights, we are waiting for an inadvertent moment for the answer to emerge. Of course we know that as wonderful as this moment is, the most important thing is those all-nighters who work on it.

But here, I see a little bit of the meaning of interacting with people.

No matter how wise a person is, thinking is always limited. This is why we need to engage in brainstorming, and why there is a saying that "listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books". When we talk to people, we almost always have something to gain. As the old saying goes, there must be a teacher for three people. We can't know everything, everyone will have their own knowledge that they are good at. Or, let's not talk about knowledge. Everyone's experience is different, and what is extracted will be helpful to other people. Like in the movie, Clark's friends are just chatting, not serious academic exchanges. But it was just a sentence in the chat that solved the problem that had plagued Turing for a long time.

When I sighed at this wonder, I also felt the importance of "going out" to deal with people.

Just imagine, if Turing hadn't participated in this social event, he wouldn't have had the chance to hear such a reminder, and the completion of the mission might have been delayed for an unknown amount of time. His thinking had reached its limit at the time, and a reminder was bound to be necessary. No one thought that an unintentional remark from other people was the key. It seems destined somewhere, but all of this is based on Turing's exchange of information with the outside world.

Of course, the so-called "information exchange" is not just a form of talking with people. Watching news, movies, and reading are actually information exchanges. However, only communication with people has a strong interactive nature, other ways are one-way. In a conversation full of interactivity, you'll be more engaged, and possibly more in-depth. Moreover, in the process of communicating with people, even if you do not carry any purpose, there are often some unexpected joys. Just like the logical thinking Luo Fat told a story, when you received a temporary invitation from a friend on the weekend, you just have nothing to do, go or not? The advice given by Fatty Luo is to go. If you don't go, you'll be the same, and you won't get anything. If you go, you may have a pleasant surprise.

Turing would also like to thank Clark, who united Turing and his workmates. No matter how talented Turing is, he still needs other people to help him. Seeing Turing sending apples to office partners one by one, he couldn't help laughing, but who didn't come here? Maybe reluctantly, but you have to do it in order to unite all the forces.

After all, no one can be an island.
