If you don't teach your skills to at least two other people right now, those skills will become obsolete!
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. You know how there are some people who won’t teach their work to younger employees? lol I wonder why that is? And yet, those same people are always saying how busy they are, right? Then they go on to say that young people don’t work and can’t do anything. &…
If you yell at people while trying to develop them, it will only make them shrink back—they won’t grow.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. How do you teach technical interns their jobs? Training interns who don’t know their way around and can’t communicate in the local language is actually quite challenging.

A Blog Post by an Active Slope Engineer | Why I Keep Writing Every Day
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s been a while, but a new edition of the “Handbook on Rockfall Countermeasures” came out.

How to Train Young Government Employees on the Job | Making Construction Skills Our Selling Point
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I was talking to someone the other day. I’ve gotten a bit older lately, and I’ve even been training some of the younger staff at the government office, lol.

The Right Mindset Is Key When Teaching | Guidance from a Slope Construction Specialist
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today, we welcomed yet another ground anchor technician—a young guy who’s just turned 20. Well, technically, he’s only “20” as of today, lol.

The Fact That the Teacher Is Inferior | Humility in Teaching
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The other day, for the first time in a while, I went to bed before midnight and woke up at noon this morning lol. I spent the morning lounging around for the first time in ages, but now my back hurts as a result… I guess this is what they mean when they say “even sleeping takes energy” lol. Anyway, moving on to stress management…
You Can Always Learn on the Job | The Growth of a Slope Engineer
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Phase 2 of the private construction project started last week. We’re using a suspended core drill for the first time in a while.
