#817 How Many Times Should You Check?
In this episode, we discuss how the act of "checking"—something we often do in our daily lives and work—can sometimes impact our relationships, illustrated through personal experiences shared by Nanbaruwan-san.
The meticulous image of a female colleague left an impression.
When Nanbaruwan-san was in his 20s, he described a specific female colleague in his accounting department. She would close the small safe she handled, only to open it again to check it. Seeing her repeat this four or five times seemed to symbolize a certain kind of obsession or dedication that comes with the responsibility of handling "money."
We talk about the unexpected outcome caused by one's own "checking."
As time passed, decades after Nanbaruwan-san got married, he shares an interaction he had with an event organizer during an art project he participated in. After the event was a success, in a message expressing gratitude, Nanbaruwan-san added a check to "make sure" of a certain detail. However, this gesture, which was meant to be thoughtful, triggered an unexpected reaction.
It makes one realize that the form of trust varies from person to person.
Nanbaruwan-san was shocked by the recipient's words: "You don't trust me, do you?" While a check might be for one's own peace of mind, the recipient may interpret it as a sign of doubt regarding their ability or integrity. This episode delves into the difficulty of such delicate communication. Please listen to the full episode to find out what happened between them afterward.
