Guys are you currently busy?? For those of you who are still studying the world of education, keep the spirit of studying online, okay? Meanwhile, if you are already working, take care of your health so you can stay focused.
Some of you may have joined the committee of an event, whether it's an event on campus or an office event, etc. When you are involved in an event, we will definitely try our best to minimize errors that might occur.
Staying up late and getting up early in the morning may have become a daily meal for event organizers. Everything is done to make the event run smoothly.
But, have you ever tried your best and still got blamed? Sometimes, you must feel like you want to be angry because the efforts you do are only considered trivial and not appreciated.
Although this often happens, we must be able to accept criticism and suggestions from others as a process of self-maturation. Various ways are done to continue to learn even from an object.
Today after arriving at work I saw one of the wall clocks which can be said to be old, and it's no longer used, it's a shame, based on information from my friend that this clock is decades old, it looks from several sides the color has faded.
Now from this wall clock, I want to introduce a philosophy that comes from an item, namely the Wall Clock Philosophy. What can we learn from the wall clock? A lot of.
What is Wall Clock Philosophy?
This philosophy is based on a clock which is a timepiece. The shape of the clock also varies, ranging from watches, wall clocks, alarm clocks, and so on.
Every clock that is traded in society is made of several components that have an important role. One of them is the hour hand as a number indicator that works continuously in rotation.
Likewise with the structure of the committee in an event that complements each other. When you work with other people, you must complete the tasks that are your responsibility.
Getting appreciation for what we have done is sometimes very necessary. Appreciating the performance of teammates is one form of our appreciation to others. However, what if that doesn't happen?
"Learn from the Wall Clock
People see it or not, it still rings
Appreciated by people or not, it keeps spinning
Even if no one says thank you, it's still working
Every hour, every minute, even every second
Continue to do good to others even though our good deeds are not judged and noticed by others
It's like a wall clock that keeps working, even though you can't see it, it always benefits the people around you."
Whatever the situation, we must accept the various responses given by others with grace, be it joy or sorrow. Regardless of people's assessment of us, don't forget to do good to others.
Benefits of Applying the Wall Clock Philosophy
Of the various benefits that can be taken in implementing this philosophy, there are 3 important benefits. Here are the benefits of the Wall Clock Philosophy:
1.Accept reality
In living life, people often do things for various reasons, whether they are lust or the mood they are feeling. Everything you do must have positive and negative consequences.
Sometimes everything we want may go the way we want it to. However, it would be nice for us to accept whatever happened. It could be that an uneasy situation holds an important lesson for you.
Like a wall clock that accepts to stick to the wall in carrying out its duties. Even though it wasn't as fortunate as the watch his master cared about, it did chime and kept on turning.
2. Useful for others
Everyone wants to be useful to others. In addition to easing the burdens of other people's lives, you also seem to be able to provide inner satisfaction for yourself when you do it wholeheartedly.
Being a useful person does not necessarily have to be someone who is smarter than others. Maybe simply being a good listener or paying a little attention to others will help someone else.
Some people believe, if we help or help other people, then we will get what we deserve in return from others. Like a wall clock that never knows we need it or not, the important thing is that it is there for us.
3. Accepting the shortcomings of others
Humans are the most perfect creatures created by God. Feeling perfect and wanting to look perfect is possible but no one is perfect in this world.
Everyone is created with all the advantages and disadvantages that are different but unique. As a human, you must have made mistakes, whether big or small. But, why is it sometimes difficult to accept other people's mistakes?
This philosophy awakens us to accept the shortcomings of others. Because in some cases, we can also be the cause of this happening.
When the wall clock is no longer useful because it is not maintained, it would be better if you introspect yourself first after other people do things that are detrimental to you.
For some, it may be difficult to accept the shortcomings of others or even one's own. Maybe, doing good in any situation can make you more useful to those around you.
Thank you for reading my writing to the end.
