Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

The other day, I was out for drinks with a friend, and we ended up talking about muscles lol

If you play sports or work out to some extent, you tend to end up focusing only on the muscles you're good at.

That's why it tends to throw things off balance.

 

When you apply that to your job, you tend to end up doing only the work you’re good at or the work you want to do, don’t you?

If it were me, I’d tend to focus solely on working on-site and neglect office work. (That way, I can just work without having to think about anything.)

From the company's perspective, both are important tasks. If we don't do them, we won't make any progress lol.

 

It’s a common human tendency to prioritize what we can do, isn’t it? (That way, the brain doesn’t have to think.)

Because I tend to do only the things I'm good at, my way of thinking is very unbalanced.

I'm good at this job, but I can barely do that one. Actually, I'd rather not do it. Nah, if that happens, I'll just skip work without telling anyone or call in sick!

There are people like that, right? lol

An imbalance that leads one to consider only the easier option. (Imbalance in thinking, mental stagnation)

 

We’ve had someone like that here before. Someone who says they can do anchor work (at a basic level, at least), but doesn’t want to do slope stabilization work.

Whenever there's slope work, I always end up either taking an unauthorized day off or getting sick.

That’s why they can’t do it, even though they’re in the same industry. All things considered, they’re simply unbalanced workers.

(Since they’ll run away when push comes to shove, they can’t be trusted.)

 

There’s been a lot of buzz lately about multi-skilled workers, but what really matters is whether they can handle different types of work within the same industry,

Most people can handle entertainment work, anchor work, and slope stabilization work all at the same time.

You don't have to do it perfectly; just do it to a reasonable extent.

While there are some people who can do it perfectly, as long as the overall balance is maintained at a ratio of about 7:3 or 6:4, it’s fine.

 

In an era of such severe labor shortages, people who can do both—or even more—are highly valued.

While it’s certainly important to focus on developing one thing to a high level, I think it’s also important to maintain a certain degree of balance.

Let's work on balancing our own skills.

Even if it's something you're not good at, giving it a try will definitely help you grow.

The Door Called "Hate"You might discover something new just by opening it, you know?

 

I, too, plan to grit my teeth and take on the challenges I find difficult.

Working in a way that requires a lot of mental effort is very tiring, but it leads to significant growth.

Let's use our brains more!

 

And sometimes, you find yourself saved by the very thing you’re not good at, I’ve come to realize.

Times are changing by the minute.

It’s possible that construction methods and practices that were acceptable just yesterday could be banned today.

The only one who can save you is yourself.

Whether you treat yourself gently or strictly is entirely up to you.

What should we do as we face an uncertain future?

 

See you later.
