passing ideas from daily life...

A little word goes a long way

I received a favorable comment from my boss on a document which I posted on a mailing list in our company.

I never thought the boss would make that kind of comments to me in the mailing list. (He would rarely make such comments to anybody.) That's why I felt pleased to read that comment.

Most of us want recognition of what we've done properly and words of appreciation. It seems trivial to make a comment on what someone has done, but it carries great weight for them.

I'll keep that in mind and try to make favorable comments to others as I've got.

Necessary evil

I've had lots of work these days. It sometimes makes me irrited or dispirited because I'm not a workaholic but a reasonable amount of business makes me more concentrated than usual.

If I have only one task in one business day (say, 8 hours), it may take 8 hours to finish the task. However, if I have two tasks, as is often the case with me, I can finish one of the tasks in less than 8 hours even if that task is the same as the former one.

Of course, a high-caliber person always concentrates and gets their work done at the same pace. Unfortunately, I'm not such a person. That's why a sense of urgency which stems from lots of work makes me more concentrated and I can finish tasks more quickly than usual.

Times flies

It’s June, already! Time flies…

I’ve tried to write this blog many times since I posted the last entry. Eventually, half year has passed!! From today, I’ll try again to write this blog in English.
