A lady chose a "shortcut" to make it easier to pick up the parcel – to drill through a hole. She took a shortcut every time, never realizing that there was actually a ready-made path next to the hole. It wasn't until recently that she discovered this astonishing fact.
It is understood that there is a courier storage point near the woman's home. Since the storage point was far from her residence, in order to save time, she chose a "convenient" route: to drill through a small hole between two buildings. She said that although the hole is a little narrow, it can reach the storage point quickly every time, so she has no doubts.
Recently, however, something happened that shocked her. When she returned from picking up the courier, she stumbled upon a wide road next to the cave that led directly to her quarters. She says the road is significantly closer and wider than drilling.
Surprised and embarrassed, the woman said she had always thought the hole was the only way to get to the storage site and had never thought there was any other way. She admits that she rarely observes her surroundings and is always in a hurry, so she misses the road that is so close at hand.
Warning effect for other citizens: The incident has attracted widespread attention and heated discussions. Many people say that they often ignore their surroundings and other possibilities in their daily lives because of "shortcuts". They believe that the woman's experience is a reminder to always be alert and observant, and not to blindly pursue shortness at the expense of safety and other possibilities.
In addition, some citizens said that in urban life, we should pay more attention to the construction and maintenance of public facilities. If the path this lady found was safe and easy, she probably wouldn't have chosen to drill the hole. Therefore, urban construction and management departments should strengthen the planning and construction of public facilities to provide citizens with more convenient and safe travel options.
Implications for city managers: The event also provides some inspiration for city managers. They should pay more attention to the needs and feedback of citizens, and find and solve problems in urban management in a timely manner. For example, if citizens report that there are safety hazards or inconvenient transportation in a certain area, managers should take timely measures to improve them. In addition, city managers should also strengthen the dissemination and publicity of public information, so that citizens can understand the latest developments and progress of urban construction and management.
In short, this woman's experience of digging holes to pick up couriers reminds us that in our daily lives, we should remain vigilant and observant, and not blindly pursue speed at the expense of safety and other possibilities, and at the same time, the urban construction and management departments should also strengthen the planning and construction of public facilities to provide citizens with more convenient and safe travel options. Let us work together to create a better, safer and more harmonious urban living environment.
