Experience Is the Only Shortcut | A Slope Engineer’s Theory of Growth

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

We just wrapped up a project the other day!

It took two years, lol

Man, that took a long time.

At first, I didn't think it would turn out to be such a complicated story; I thought it would just wrap up quickly.

 

Well, well—it went through all sorts of twists and turns, spanned a whole year, and finally came to an end the other day!!

There are so many ups and downs I’d love to write about, but since the project hasn’t even been completed yet, I suppose I’ll just have to keep them to myself.

It's such a shocking story that I still want to tell everyone right now, lol, but I can only tell the very few people who already know about it.

It's that serious of a matter—one that could damage the company's reputation.

So, I won't say it either lol

Be quiet

But there are all kinds of situations on site, aren't there?

Just when I thought I’d finished up at a high-pressure water site the other day, I got another request for a similar high-pressure water job—and one with an extremely long drilling depth!

I get a lot of inquiries about challenging job sites.

 

I'm really grateful.

I generally like work environments that call for creativity and ingenuity, and I absolutely love projects that are challenging and tough but where you find a way to make it work.

Well, I don't know about our employees, though... lol

 

Maybe I feel that way especially because I’ve always focused mainly on that kind of work.

The sense of accomplishment you feel when a job like that is done is just incredible, isn't it?

So, when things just wrap up normally on a regular job site, I don't really think anything of it, lol.

Isn't it true that you grow more when you face even the slightest challenge?

 

But if it’s not the people on the job site—like the general contractor or the site supervisor—it really gets on my nerves.

Even though I'm trying to make things go as smoothly as possible, it's hard to work with a general contractor who keeps nitpicking and making demands—especially when their reasons are ridiculous.

Even among general contractors, when you get stuck with this person on a job site, things just don't move forward—even with really simple work, lol.

Well, I can't say for sure who it is, but everyone agrees he's a real jerk.

 

People who say hurtful things know—and should know—that what they’re saying is hurtful.

Even so, the fact that I can’t help but say it probably says a lot about my bad character (not that I know for sure).

 

I hope the challenges are on the job. That would boost my motivation and give me confidence.

Since people can only speak from their own experiences, let's go out and have all kinds of experiences!

That is the quickest path to mastery for engineers and construction workers.

 

See you later.
