Hi, dear Steemians!
Today, we are going to talk about the concept of efficiency. When we say something or someone is efficient at their job, what do we really mean?
Imagine a decent vehicle with the sole purpose of helping people move from one place to another. This vehicle could be a highly modern train. The train moves at a staggering speed and is always efficient at doing its job.
Imagine that the train can pace 400 kilometers per hour. Can a human being do that?
The answer might be obvious, but the point is not.
When we talk about efficiency and productivity in human beings, we need to understand how their mind works and processes information.
Robots, cars, and other vehicles are always made with a sole intention and that is why they are so efficient at doing something.
For example, a robot that can cook will not be able to clean your house, and if it were to do both, it wouldn’t do it as good as when he is only made to do one thing.
Human beings are obviously different than robots.
They come up with imaginative ideas and then proceed to turn them into reality. A person might find himself learning a new language at one point in their life, and living the life of an adventurer in another.
We might pursue a career in arts and then forsake it for a good business opportunity.
Sometimes, we even try to do several things at the same time.
This is the main problem with humans. They are often too easily distracted by the many things that they may find themselves capable of doing.
A train that paces 400 kilometers cannot also pick up your dry cleaning. I mean, we could certainly try, but it just wouldn’t be as efficient as it was when it performed only one deed.
In our lifetime, we want to pursue many things, but when we lose the balance, we are doomed to mediocrity.
And mediocrity is the idea that you are indeed ‘capable’ of doing many things, but you cannot do any of them perfectly or properly.
Mediocrity is fine, so long as you learn to live with it.
Meaning, that you could decide here and now what you want to do with your life and then dedicate every living moment to become great in that field, or you could pursue many things and live a life of adventure, but you cannot expect to achieve greatness in one particular field.
Efficiency is a quality of focus and time. If you are not focusing enough in your life, you cannot expect yourself to be efficient.
Many of you try to do something extraordinary, but there a lot of things in your life that also need your attention, and you find yourself not being able to fully dedicate yourself to that extraordinary deed.
At the end of the day, a person with a balanced life is someone who knows that he has to do and what he actually wants to do.
That way, you won’t get pulled aside by the many distractions of our modern life and can actually dedicate your time to something that you find fulfilling.
In a world of mediocrity, dedicate your attention and become a train that paces to success and achievement.
A BIG HUG!
