Do not let short-sighted drag you into endless difficulties
When I recently read "Scarcity: How We Fall into Poverty and Busyness," we talked about such a case.
We often encounter similar situations. When the deadline for a job is imminent, you have repeatedly been anxious for a long time, and finally realize that tomorrow is the final date of submission. And worse, you have not yet prepared it, or even at all. Did not officially begin preparations. At this time, you use your whole body's efforts to stay up all night, but there are still some things that are not ready. At least it's too late to find time again. So you had to break the cans and even whisper and send the written information to your boss, and secretly hoped that you wouldn't reveal your feet to your boss.
As time passed, everything seemed to be calm. Just a few hours before you were preparing for a business trip, you received an e-mail from your boss: The missing information in the report, I will immediately! The expediency of the hurry before, like a boomerang, flew back to your hands at the most inappropriate time.
When you run out of tires, you may find a cheap car repair shop to make up for it instead of replacing it with a new one. You know very well that the repaired tires are certainly not as safe and durable as new tires. After all, it took a while before, and from your current shortsighted view, the tires save you money and save trouble, so you chose to repair them first, It seems that the surface does not save you money, but does not know that one day you are rushing to sign a customer on the road, suddenly the original tire that had been repaired punctured, the car broke down on the road, delayed the time, did not arrive on time to rush to the customer There, the contract was not signed and the business was naturally yellow, and the ducks arrived. You are very annoyed by this, secretly complaining why the puncture happens at this critical moment? Why didn't you change a new tire directly? why. . .
In life, we often encounter similar examples as mentioned above. For example, for me, some documents in the office are sometimes read afterwards, and this bad habit is developed. Over time, one day, suddenly, I suddenly needed a certain document. So I started looking on the table and looking in the filing cabinet. But because I hadn't done the sorting before, many documents were kept everywhere in no order. It was naturally strenuous to find, sometimes even two or three times. Seemingly simple, but for a long time, it is natural to waste a lot of time, but also easy to mistakes.
The author believes that when we work diligently for urgent and important business, the effectiveness of our work will increase by leaps and bounds, but we also believe that too long and busy will make it easy for us to overlook important but not urgent issues.
For another example, we are always busy with work, etc., often stay up late, work overtime, do not insist on exercise, do not pay attention to cherish their own body, always comfort their own time after the exercise, physical examination, etc., do not know that this society will have many people because of bad After being accustomed to illness, I regret it and I regret my shortsighted eyes. I always focus on my immediate interests and ignore the long-term cost.
The author also believes that when we are focused on solving the problems of the moment, we cannot effectively plan for the future. I also agree with this, as the popular saying on the Internet, poverty limits my imagination. The surface looks like a joke, but in fact the truth is said. Rich people always have time to think about and plan their own future, while poor people are always busy with their immediate life. When we are always tired of living for life, where do we have too much time to plan our future?
Do not allow yourself to be in trouble for a period of time because of some immediate interests. Let yourself be in a busy life or work and take out some of your own time to think about your future and not let your own short-sightedness be delayed. s future.
