Let's Learn from Animals Such as a Termite

"Sir, in the middle bookcase there was termites!" At least that brief information I received from one of the staff, when we're cleaning up the office. "OK, I'll check. You see him there or just termite nest?" I am trying to trace as far as the matter further. "Look sir, there was termites!"


SOS ... SOS ... SOS  
When I heard his information there are termites, I immediately thought this would be a big problem. Yes, because my relatives who do business in the field of furniture once said, if there is termite wood furnishings him should all the parts removed or it will spread everywhere. Right then I immediately decided to look at. After I see at a glance, it appears there was a small mound of the termite nest in the middle cabinet. Then I started to pull the books that lined the middle cabinet. Apparently the rear has been eaten by termites and damaged most of the book has become a nest of termites.

Then I saw a book on it turned out the same fate. I decided bookcase middle-discarded and burned, including his books. Then I saw a cupboard on the right hand was eaten by termites also have been destroyed, but from the front there is absolutely no visible termite nest. Then I saw his left chest, was also a victim. The result of termite attack are three bookcases discarded and burned, hundreds of books also had to be removed and burned. Though the cabinet is new 3 months ago settled.

It turns out that looks small termite problem, only a few centimeters mounds that are visible, only a few symptoms of the major problems are hidden. From this incident I was learning about life.

Actually most of the problems that we face only a small part of a bigger problem. Problems at the front of the eye may be only a symptom, not disease. If we do not find the big problem (illness), then we will be stuck problem forever. The problem that we see in front of the eye may be greater than we think.

In social life for example. We met with officials of corruption. In simple it seems, corruption occurs because of small salaries, so that if the salary is increased there is no corruption. It turned out great salaried officials were also involved corruption. That is, corruption is a phenomenon that has spread everywhere. The main problem is not just a small salary, but also law enforcement, social justice, faith, morality, tolerance, sportsmanship, and many things associated with it. So to cure must be addressed comprehensively.

In parenting for example. There are children who value a bad lesson. Her parents have entered the child and private courses but did not improve. Apparently after it investigated the problem of children being disturbed his concentration because parents often heard a commotion. Or was at school he has always been a victim of bullies (senior abuse). So masalahanya not just kids who are lazy but there is a larger agenda that it faces. If we are wrong detection, the problem is not finished.

In business, too. We can lose clients just because a small problem. There is a story of big companies lose clients just because the giants have a rude phone operators. Originally the company thought the operators only need a little practice, the company was not aware that the operator is spearheading the company to end up losing big clients.

Detecting a problem with the right, saw the problem as part of a larger problem is the key to solve the problem in an integral. Let's hope we are not lulled into view when a small problem, because most small problem is the outside view of the substantial hidden problems.
