Even after the work dinner, the words I laughed off stay with me
On the way home after the work dinner, the words I laughed off keep coming back to me.
Scenes
- The words I laughed off stay with me on the way home — At the work dinner, someone pointed out one of my weak spots. I laughed it off, but then I saw my face in the bus window and the words came back.
- Those words shake my sense of what matters — The more I question whether those words were true, the more I catch myself making the same mistake at work. Sometimes it feels like one weakness explains everything about me.
- Your nature is more than one weakness — In myeongrihak, saju traits aren’t a scorecard of what you’re good or bad at. The same trait can serve you differently depending on the work you take on and the standards you choose.
- Set a standard to help you improve — Tonight, instead of trying to answer those words, write one line about what you often miss and one about how you’ll address it. For example, if you’re slow to double-check, set aside time to review before you submit.
- Look at your traits alongside the demands of the job — Once you’ve written down your standards, see whether you can apply them to your actual work. Saju traits aren’t an answer to reach on your own; they become a guide when you consider them alongside the demands of your job.
