In the workplace, I am not afraid that you will make mistakes, but I am afraid that you will cause trouble｜Are you busy today?
In the workplace, do we often have such people around us:
I saw that he was very busy all day long, as if there was always unfinished work, unfinished things, and sometimes others were off work, and they were often seen working overtime.
If you met him, they would say "too busy".
So what are they doing? If you ask him, he may not be able to tell what he is busy with for a long time. Anyway, one word is "busy".
In fact, in the workplace, there will be one or two such people in almost every unit.
In the workplace, I am not afraid that you will make mistakes, but I am afraid that you will cause trouble｜Are you busy today?
From this, I came up with a story.
In a temple, there was a young monk who was busy all day and seemed to have no time to rest. But he always felt that although he was busy all day, he was still accomplishing nothing.
So he went to ask the master: I'm too tired, but I haven't seen much success, why is this?
The master thought about it and asked him to bring a bowl and fill it with walnuts.
The master pointed to the bowl full of walnuts and asked: Can you put more walnuts in the bowl?
The little monk said: I can't put it down, it's full.
The master said: Is it really full? Then you go and bring some rice over.
The little monk came with a handful of rice, and the master put the rice into the bowl along the gap between the walnuts.
The master asked again: Is it full now? The little monk replied: It is full.
The master said: You can bring some more water.
The little monk brought water again and poured it into the bowl.
The master asked again: is this full?
Little Monk: It's really full this time.
The master said, "Go get another spoon of salt."
The master melted the salt into the water, and the water did not overflow at all.
The little monk seemed to realize something. The master asked: What does this mean?
The little monk said: Does it mean that there will always be a time squeeze?
The master shook his head and said: You don't understand yet.
Then, the master emptied the bowl and said: Just now we put the walnuts first, now let's turn it upside down and see what happens?
The master put a spoonful of salt first, and then poured water into the bowl. When the rice was added to the bowl, the water kept overflowing. The master asked the little monk: Do you think there is still room for walnuts in the bowl?
The master went on to say: If your life is a bowl, how can you put your big walnuts in the bowl when all these small things like rice are in it?
Only then did the little monk fully understand.
In the workplace, I am not afraid that you will make mistakes, but I am afraid that you will cause trouble｜Are you busy today?
If you're running around all day, you feel extra busy. Might as well stop and think seriously: How can we put walnuts into life in the first place? If life is a bowl, how to distinguish walnuts and rice?
If everyone knew what their walnuts were, life would be easier. We should put walnuts into the bowl of life first, otherwise we will spend our whole life in such small things as rice, and of course walnuts cannot be put in.
In the workplace, I am not afraid that you will make mistakes, but I am afraid that you will cause trouble｜Are you busy today?
There has always been a saying in the workplace: you are not afraid of making mistakes, but you are afraid of making trouble. Some people seem to be busy all day long, but the effect of work is less than satisfactory. In fact, this is "busting".
The result of "busy" not only makes one's own work low-quality and inefficient, but sometimes even hinders others and adds chaos to the work.
Targeted, orderly and planned work is what really needs to be promoted in the workplace. Only by focusing on the big and letting go of the small and highlighting the key points, the work will be more effective.
In the workplace, when we feel physically and mentally exhausted, we might as well ask ourselves: Am I "busy" today?
