Should we choose between principle and flexibility?

We go through many processes in our lives. The experience of both joy and sorrow often appears as a process of experience and decision making. Of course, there are some cases where it is irrelevant to your decision

​

Today, we will think about the difference between the manual and flexibility and think about what kind of decision it would have been wise to make if we were in the middle of the hard-to-decision process.

​

First, let's look at the case of the tsunami in Japan

​

In the past, as many as 350,000 Japanese people were living in shelters after losing their lives or leaving their homes due to radiation fears due to massive earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan. Japan, the world's third-largest economy and advanced countries in disaster prevention, has seen something ridiculous happen.

​

At that time, the roads were cut off due to the earthquake and there was not enough fuel to move the vehicles, so relief supplies could not be delivered properly. However, the reason for this was that the Japanese government and local governments did not have helicopter-based relief supplies in their disaster countermeasures. Unlike us, Japan is driven by the manual.

​

The fact that trucks carrying relief supplies and oil were stranded for several days due to the lack of emergency passes issued by local governments even with normal roads was also caused by the manual operation. 

​

In the early days of the Fukushima nuclear crisis, the government did not dare to cool down the reactor. Eventually, the Prime Minister ordered the use of seawater, but is tied to the manual. Time was wasted like gold.

​

Depending on the situation, the manual is as helpful as a double-edged sword, while at the same time at risk of negative consequences. Therefore, the manual should be used with awareness that there is always something to be overcome in some sense.

​

It is certain that the manual is a well-established document that binds people, but it should be flexible at times. 

​

The contents of the manual should be memorized only once and the spirit behind it and the actual words and actions can be modified for their purposes or needs. That is the true manual. 

​

In Go, the more skilled the player is, the more he knows and refers to the standard, but does not leave it as it is. This is because there are too many external environments that are different from the standard.

​

​

The following are examples of action by a prompt British manual.

◇The British government's quick response to the crisis

​

In July 2005, suicide bombings in three London subways and double-decker buses rescued all the injured within an hour of the accident, and the damage was the lowest ever, with immediate compensation for all the victims.

​

This was the result of the British government's realization after a series of maritime accidents in the 1990s, massive winter floods in 2000 and the foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in 2001.

​

"Risk preparedness should be our daily routine, and we will establish a national disaster response system."

​

The "List of National Crisis on Regional Emergency" manual, which was created like this, briefly specified roles and procedures for handling the situation.

​

It has been upgraded on a regular basis since July 2001 and made it easy for anyone to access it online.

​

In order to respond more quickly and efficiently, the government was empowered to respond quickly and flexibly to the crisis by transferring all of its power to regional managers, carrying out practical response drills, and overhauling manuals.

​

What I feel from looking at various cases is that I move around looking at the manual within a certain range, but I feel that I need some flexibility when I connect with other situations in a combination. Although the final misjudgment will be corrected through a post-mortem evaluation, it seems that the decision made by a person will be limited to judging from the information gathered at that time. 

​

A similar example of principle and flexibility was found in such a process.

​

​

◇ Principles and flexibility

Principles and flexibility should go together. Flexibility is muscle if principle is the backbone.

​

Bones cannot move alone, and only when muscles move together.

​

But muscles cannot move beyond the direction and limits of the bone itself.

​

Muscles are bound to break if they require greater movement than the original angle of the bone.

​

A word that means that you ride a geomungo by immobilizing geomungo's 雁足(Anjok) with a glue stick, meaning that you are not flexible by sticking to the rules. 

- Fraud

​

In the Joseon Dynasty, there was a master craftsman named Seng, who taught his son Seng to be well-versed.

​

However, the investigation was well aware that the theory alone did not determine the fate of the war. When he was dying, he made a will to his wife not to let him live long because he could be angry if his son was going to live long. 

​

One year, when the Qin Dynasty invaded, he knew this and spread false rumors. General Yeompa said, "I will be too old to come to war, but I am afraid of becoming a foreman."

​

When King Zonara appointed the foreman as the general, the mother begged him to cancel it. He opposed the impression, saying, "It's like riding a crane on a geomungo," but it was ignored. In the end, as expected, the great army of Jo was defeated and the foreman was killed.
