Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
The other day, we received a photo like this from our construction site!
I'm drilling a hole through a piece of wood lol
It's a lot of work, isn't it—from setting up the machine to drilling the holes and everything in between?
I'm sure you've all experienced something like this at your workplaces.
In situations like this, there are those who just get to work silently, those who grumble as they work, and those who do nothing but complain and end up refusing to do it.
As a director, I absolutely love people who just get to work quietly, or who might grumble a bit but still get the job done!
As long as the construction areas and locations are specified on the drawings, they are, in principle, absolute.
If there are no structural issues and it’s easy to explain to the local government—or if it’s not a big deal—you can adjust the location. But if it’s unavoidable, and considering that you wouldn’t be able to work for a week while waiting for approval, it’s better to push through with the construction even if it’s a bit of a stretch.
If the government agency insists on being the general contractor, then that’s basically a done deal—there’s nothing we can do about it.
If an issue is open to discussion, we’ll consider that option, but in reality, it’s often faster just to go ahead and do it.
It's better to get the work done before there's any fuss.
And then there are some people who just grumble and refuse to do the work—those folks are completely out of the question, lol. (Are you thinking, “They should just go home”? lol)
Professionals must never forget to be resourceful.
Anyone who can't think creatively isn't a professional.
How can this be done? If you can draw on your past experience and knowledge to view challenges as ordinary, you’ll be able to quietly and steadily overcome them.
Experience is a treasure trove of ingenuity! (If you have experience, you can be as creative as you want.)
And don't run away.
This also reflects one’s outlook on life: running away when faced with difficulties, running away when in trouble, and running away when things don’t go your way.
I think this is something you absolutely must never do at work. (Getting in trouble)
Once you run away, it becomes a habit.
If you stand your ground instead of running away, it will become a valuable experience. This is when it becomes a part of who you are.
To grow beyond where I am now, I have no choice but to face the challenges head-on and press forward.
Let's keep moving forward while coming up with creative solutions!
That said, claiming you can do construction work you’re actually incapable of doing and causing trouble for others isn’t exactly “charging ahead,” lol.
I like site supervisors who don't run away and craftsmen who will absolutely find a way to get the job done, so in the end, I end up relying on them.
That's what a good relationship between a director and a craftsman looks like.
Let’s keep pushing forward in both life and construction, always finding creative ways to do things!
See you later.
