Those who emphasize experience too much to learn might say that we have to work quikly although making some errors. However, I believe that slow but perfect working is much more advisable in a modern society: our work field has been changed and reducing mistakes is more time-efficient in a long term.
First, as far as the change of our work field is concerned, it is more essencial to work slowly and ensure everything perfect. In a sense, it is true that in order to raise the efficiency of work, we need to work fast even with the possibility of mistakes. However, the work load of having to deal was regarded important in an agricutual or industrial society. The work amount people have to deal is getting smaller than the past, and knowledge we need is getting more specialized. Therefore the ways to treat matters in work has been changed. Before it was the work efficiency that people considered importantly in spite of several mistakes to product as much as possible, now it is to work slow analyzing and categorize problem exactly and fining best solution without mistakes. This is mainly becuase of the change of our work fields. It is running internet business and investing in stock markets or in real estate that matters. In these areas one wong decision can ruin our whole lives.
In addtional, working perfetly at slow speed can be more time-saving in a long run.
In a myopic view, detaily planning might look time-wasting since it doesn't have a result which can be seen. However, we can not deny that if we make a mistake, we have to be resposible for it and have to deal with every problems from our mistakes. It could be a bunch of the time.
I felt this in my university days. I had to write a paper to be graduated from university. Since I wanted to make a fast result, I started to write it without thorough plan. This careless action made my report pointless and caused me to have to spend one year more in universtiy. After this experience, I made a habit to plan carefully even though it seem sometimes take long time. it helps me to directly solve the problems with mistakes.
In summary, I disagree with the opinion that working speed is more desirable in spite of making mistakes. This is becuase responsibility after allowing mistakes is bigger than the past, and reducing mistakes is earning time in a long term. |
