When you are running at top speed, you are myopic. Similarity between football and work.

I used to play football (soccer) when I was in junior high school and high school.


When you are running or dribbling at top speed, your view cannot stop being narrow. Sometimes you need to stop, look around the entire field and try to grasp the overall situation correctly. Then, you can judge when and where to run at top speed.

Running at top speed without understanding the situation correctly is a waste of energy.

So, you need to stop and look around, sometimes.

In workplaces, maybe some people are running too much.


Surely, it is necessary to run at top speed sometimes.
But if you keep doing it, you not only get tired but also become myopic.

This is dangerous. It might bring about critical mis-judgement, which could be critical to business operation.
