My Blogging Tip

In our life, we always forget why we are doing this and why we are doing that. In other words, we always forget about the objective of doing something. We go into details and stuck in the details. Then, we overlook the overall objective.

Why we go to work? There are many answers. Some people go to work because they feel boring when there is no work. Anyway, this is just small portion of people. Most of us go to work because we want money. Sometimes, we put too much feeling into the company. We feel that the boss is so good or our colleagues are so nice. So, we continue to work in the company even though the money we get is lower than market rate. Until one day, we found out that other people doing the same job are getting rich. Then, we start to blame ourselves. Time had been wasted. This happened because we forgot the objective we go to work. We forget why we go to work.

If the objective you go to work is to earn some money, what should you do to make more money? Will hardworking make more money? Or working smart will make more money? If your boss emphasizes hardworking culture, then hardworking may increase your salary. On the other hand, if your boss emphasizes final results, then who care about the process? Therefore, forget about hardworking. Focus on getting result with minimum effort. Do not just keep on working. Always compare what you are doing with your objective.

A man and a lady were on dating. What is their objective? To have fun? Maybe. Of course, in overall they want to build rapport relationship. During dating, they talked about football. Later, they argued with each other which team will win in the competition. Each of them has their own reasons why their preferred team will win. This is a typical example of focus on details and forgets about the overall objective. The dating objective is to build rapport relationship, not debating which football team will win. Then, who care about which team will win.

Sometimes, we set the objective and perform the action. Anyway, on the way, we forget about our objective. For example, we decided to make money by writing a book. We know very clear that we want to make money. Then, we start to write a book. During writing, we use a lot of beautiful vocabulary with deep meaning. This is because we want to write the best book in the world. After finish writing a book, we found out that this is a book with best vocabulary and free of grammar error. Anyway, the book is very boring. The book can become the best textbook in the market. Anyway, it cannot be the best selling book. So, the objective failed to be achieved. Sometimes, we just keep on doing and forget to evaluate whether what we are doing can help us achieve our objective.

Jump out from what you are doing now and think like an outsider. Look at overall. Not at the details. Evaluate periodically whether what we are doing is matching with our objective. If not, then it is time to change. Change! We need!
