238 First

I walk into my office pre-occupied with a problem.

I shut the door so no one disturbs me.

Within two hours my problem is solved.

Then I notice my secretary, basically doing nothing.

I have a pile of things she can and must do.

Yet, if I don’t ‘first’ tell her, she does nothing and waits for me.

Someone is given a library to resell.

He immediately sorts the library.

Instead of ‘first’ placing some items on sale.

(And has yet to make money.

From those who would eagerly buy some items instantly.)

Giving Priority to the most important things is often a mistake.

Make sure others around you have something to do or buy ‘first’.
