Hello! I’m President Yasui, a solo entrepreneur running a company mainly focused on inspections of high-pressure gas equipment.
The scorching heat continues these days.
Looks like it’ll stick around until Obon, so let’s stay cautious and actively find ways to beat the heat!
There are times when you find yourself thinking,
"Come on, think ahead a little, will you?"
We all run into moments like that.
When it comes to work that follows a set flow or procedure, it’s usually easier to plan ahead.
Anticipating the next steps can actually make your own work smoother.
However, when you’re expected to consider and adjust for someone else’s actions as well, the story changes.
Let’s look at this example:
-
Person A has Task A to do.
-
Person B, upon returning, needs to do Task B.
-
Both tasks are done in Space C.
-
When B returns, A is working in Space C.
-
B gets irritated because they can't do their task and ends up snapping at A.
-
B knows A needs Space C too, but A forgot B also uses it.
In this kind of case, A might reasonably think:
"Yeah, I get it was inconvenient, but why am I the one getting scolded? I didn’t know!"
Did B clearly say,
"I need to use Space C after I get back, so please be done by X o’clock"?
Nope.
Sure, A had time to do their work in Space C before B returned,
but A was doing other things and didn’t get to it.
Had B simply communicated their plan, things might have gone differently.
A might have gladly cleared the way when B returned.
Complaining about how someone else works, without communicating your own needs, just feels off.
Of course, someone who’s naturally considerate might be aware of both A’s and B’s responsibilities and timing.
With mutual awareness, this could’ve been prevented.
But here’s the core idea:
Consideration is not something you demand — it’s a personal ability.
Getting frustrated because others don’t consider your situation is nonsense.
Will anger make others more considerate?
No — and it doesn’t even lead there.
Instead of stewing in frustration about what others didn’t do for you,
take the initiative to be considerate yourself — and communicate it clearly.
Many unnecessary problems arise just because people don’t say enough.
Don’t be lazy with communication — take it seriously.
A considerate team leads to smooth operations.
Let’s communicate clearly and move forward together!
Thanks so much for reading this far.
Until next time!
