Miscommunications.

The perfect way to define a time when you do something and you don't do it your best. This happens when you say something just so you were able to say it to get it over and done with. Blurting something out something without ensuring the other person understood what you said. One of the primary reasons people fight, deliveries aren't met, mistakes are made, friendships are broken, drivers don't go to work on time, operators don't go to work on holidays. Couples quarrel because of this, students study for the wrong topics for their exams, basketball players shoot on the wrong goal, people buy french fries instead of twister fries.

When its all said and done, sasabihin lang ng both parties, "eh akala ko...".
Then, magtitinginan na lang kayo.
No use crying over spilled milk. You can just reflect and think why such happened.

Case in point, Account executive orders 125oo magazines for client. Client tells Account Executive to print all 12500 magazines. The latter tells production to print all magazines, production does so. Just when production is done with printing and is about to bind the 12500 magazines, Account Executive tells production, "hold the 7500 copies! proceed only with the 5000 copies to be delivered. The 7500 must be held because i am awaiting further instructions on how a sound chip will be inserted to the magazine balance."
Production obliges and holds the 7500.
Holding this pertains to NOT binding the 7500 copies.
Account executives assumes the 7500 are bound. Production knows otherwise.
One month passes.
Client tell Account Executive to deliver the balance the next day. The latter tells the client it is ready. Of course its not ready. its not bound. Morning comes. The endorsement for the insertion for the sound chip is given by the client and expects a delivery right away.
No delivery can be made.
We all end up in the office.
There is no point in pointing fingers, we just talk how can we avoid this next time?
Miscommunication. The culprit.
Frustrating, but what makes it harder is it is preventable.
Communication is the key.

Actually i think listening is also key, actually. if we take tiome to be still and tune our efforts to understanding each other, less miscommunications would be present. Staying silent and giving your conversation partner attention is vital. I think i could learn from that. Oftentimes i find myself babbling away and speaking too fast. Less talk less mistakes. It says in proverbs the fool cannot stay silent.

My friend asked me this question the other day; "What type of person are you, do you think feel then act? or the other way around?"
I immediately said i felt, thought, then acted in that way. I guess i'm a very emotional person. It made me think alot too. Because i think its important that we think first before we feel something then based on our logical thinking, we act. I guess to each, his own. every individual is beautiful in this way. No one is excactly the same. Okay i'm not making sense.

Its so hard talking to your employees when it comes to them borrowing money. on one hand you want to help them. on the other you have to take care of the company and remember that helping them also means lending them the amount of money they can pay for. Striking the balance between compassion and objectivity is key. Wisdom from the Lord is greatly and desperately needed.

Lola is having her pacemaker operation tomorrow, please pray for her. We prayed for her already, Bahala na si God.
I'm wondering if i ought to get a bike or just swim daily. sayang yung pool sa house eh, walang gumagamit.
