WHEN IT IS WISE TO HURRY

WHEN IT IS WISE TO HURRY
By Marlene Legaspi-Munar

Pinagusapan natin na mayroong mga pagkakataon na hindi wise ang magmadali. Ano-ano ang mga pagkakataong iyan?

1. It is not wise to hurry when we have not checked our assumptions because we may make very serious mistakes.

2. It is also unwise to hurry in making commitments or promises dahil marami ang hindi nakakatupad sa mga pangako o commitment na hindi talaga pinag-isipan. Halimbawa sa trabaho ninyo, you made a commitment to your customer pagkatapos when you consulted with your boss, hindi naman pala kayang ideliver ng inyong kumpanya ang pangako na iyon, kayo ang masisira. Ang kumpanya ninyo ang masisira. So do not rush in making promises.

3. We should be in no hurry to respond to others with angry words. Kapag mayroong kaopisina na galit na galit sa inyo at sinabihan kayo ng masasakit na salita imbes na magmadali sa pagresponde, itikom muna ang bibig at ng hindi makapagbitiw ng salita na pagsisisihan niyo rin.

4. It is better to plan carefully than to move too quickly.

These are instances when it is unwise to hurry. But there are also instances in our lives, in our work when you need and it is WISE to hurry.

1. We need to hurry when we need to get out of harm’s way. Kung tayo ay mapapahamak, if your convictions and your reputation will be compromised, if temptation is tearing at you very closely, kinakailangan magmadaling umalis. We should hurry when we need to get out of harm’s way.

2. When someone else has something against us, we should hurry to be reconciled with them. Mahirap gawin lalo na kung ang ating hindi kasundo ay boss natin o kaya kaopisina natin, parang ang hirap yatang nitong we should hurry to be reconciled with them. But Matthew 5:25 reminds us to come to terms quickly with your enemy before it is too late and you are dragged into court, handed over to an officer and thrown in jail. Gusto ba nating lumalala pa ang sitwasyon? Mas mahirap ang may kaaway lalo na kung araw-araw mo siyang kailangan makita dahil magkasama kayo sa trabaho.

3. We should hurry to obey God. Psalm 119:60, I will hurry without lingering to obey your commands. Is God telling you to do something at work, in your life, in your family? Ano ang dapat nating maging response kung mayroong pagkakataon na kailangan nating palaging magmadali? Iyan ay pagsunod sa Diyos.
