Basically... don't be lazy. :)2. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
Questions to ponder in regards to this rule, however...
Ladies, does this apply to letting gentlemen open doors for you and carry things for you, when you can do it yourself? Why or why not?
Everyone, how does this apply to delegation of duties as a leader? Should a leader always do things himself if possible, or is delegation a good idea? Why or why not?
How does this apply to the idea of self-sufficency? Is self-sufficiency over all a good or bad thing?
And of course, general thoughts are always welcome.
Delegation is a must - as a biblical example, Moses had way too much on his plate and it was better to delegate the duty of listening to whiners, and other legitimate issues.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I believe that no one is Superperson (insert gender as appropriate ;) ). Focus on your strengths, and delegate areas where you aren't as strong, by bringing others into your circle who are strong in those areas. We shouldn't be intimidated by the successes of others in areas where we fail - but we do. We often compare our weaknesses with others' strengths and that leads no where quickly. And, the last of my 15 cents (inflation, dontcha know), I have yet to meet a self-sufficient and happy person . . . actually, I doubt that I have ever met a truly self-sufficient person. We are all turtles on fenceposts after all :)
Yep... have to agree with you there. Delegation is a life-saver. :)
ReplyDeleteI love turtles on fenceposts! Haha. I'll have to do a post about that at the end of my 10 Days of Jefferson.
