Need a decent mop

We want a decent mop.....

“In a store like this one that has a blind spot, it’s easy for the headquarters to approve the cost of buying a walkie-talkie. It’s even better to attach a sketch of the store when you apply for a budget.”

Everyone hates cleaning the floor. Because our hands get dirty and the bucket of water is heavy.
But one of the reasons everyone hates cleaning the floor is unbelievable. The mop in the store is broken.
The mop leaning against the corner of the room looks like a normal mop, but when someone picks it up and tries to wipe it somewhere, the brush part comes off the handle.
Can you admit this stupid thing? Employees of this store have to clean the floor with a broken mop.

What is the basic setup for problem solving?
Purpose, method, and means. Haven’t you forgotten this setup?
First the purpose must be clarified. Its abstract purpose begins to materialize in an appropriate way.
Then, the means or tools are selected depending on the method. You see, your dreams come closer to reality.

“We need a decent mop. Why doesn’t the store manager buy the next mop?”
Everyone feels that way. The budget for buying a mop will be easily approved once you apply.
However, the store manager has never applied for a budget for a mop. He always filled out a small walkie-talkie for business when he prepared the budget application.
I don’t request expensive items as the budget will not be approved. On the contrary, it is a waste to devote half a year’s budget to cheap items. This is the store manager’s way of thinking.

Can means or tools guide us?
I wonder what would happen if only the means were suddenly given. We will start to infer the method by using the means as a clue. This is a nasty question.
And the purpose will be made from the method. We have to figure out what to do for what.
Whether the purpose we have come up with is good or bad, our actions no longer stop. Fearfully, means will guide us.

Then, one day, an unexpected transceiver purchase was approved. Terminals, chargers and headsets were lined up on the table.
However, since this store is a small store, it seems that no one needs a walkie-talkie. Everyone feels like this:
We want a decent mop.

That’s all for today’s post. Thank you
