A new word "too late to be productive" popped up on the Internet, and I checked the relevant interpretation. The examples given are also vivid: some white-collar workers sit all day and can't write a hundred words. After two hours of overtime in the middle of the night, a few thousand words of copywriting is completed. The reason is that tomorrow is going to be delivered, and "too late" stimulates the physical potential and forces out extraordinary work efficiency.

In this way, "too late to be productive" is a word full of positive energy, but I am reminded of one thing that Ma Wei said. A few years ago, he approached four of Japan's top craftsmen and asked them to handcraft 365 sets of teapots. Ma Weidu proposed one-year delivery, and the other party said that it was impossible in any case, it must be 10 years. After many talks, the final compromise agreed to be completed in 3 years, but in fact, it has taken 5 years. Although the default was made, Ma Weidu had no opinion, because the craft of the pot made was indeed impeccable.

I remembered a video show I had just watched, a scientist who had been in the Tengger Desert for decades, talking about the first failure. When they first started planting trees, they encountered serious pests and diseases, so they often sprayed pesticides on the trees. As a result, the pests were killed, the magpies that ate the pests were also poisoned, and the sand lizards ate the poisonous magpies and pest carcasses, and were also destroyed... Pests are more fertile, and after the natural enemies have been eliminated, they become stronger. In an unbalanced ecosystem, artificial forests cannot survive without pesticides. Its own lack of viability means that the construction of sand forest has completely failed.

"Birds are relatively weak in fertility, and pests are very fertile. At the beginning of afforestation, there will be three to five years, and the pest infestation is very serious. At this time, all that should be done is to endure, wait for the magpie team to slowly grow, and then gradually control the insect pests and achieve natural ecological balance. That balance will be lasting..." the scientist said.

Imagine those four Japanese craft masters, if they blindly cater to customers, they will make 365 teapots in one year, and the level of craftsmanship will definitely be very different from the pots made in five or ten years, which will not only affect the customer experience, but also damage their reputation in the industry. If the scientist who controlled the sand had been eager to make a meritorious achievement and apply pesticides every year, the trees he planted would never have become the spectacular large sand-proof forest he has today.

I worked for an advertising agency for many years and was a veteran experiencer of "too late to be productive". At that time, every overtime until late at night, ideas are difficult to find, what to do? Forced to search for Japanese, Korean, and Thai advertising films on the Internet, clone them, and the next morning, the copy can be delivered on time. As far as I know, many of my peers have also been forced out in this way. The advertising agency I used to work for today has been out of business for 3 years.

Wait, bear with it, many things, things slow down. The work that is forced out by "too late" is often very rough, and it is often better not to do it.
