When a day becomes difficult, it invites us to reflect on its causes

We know that in life we are not going to be all the time nor all the time bad, life can fluctuate between the best moments and the worst moments, however there are days that mark priority either for the bad or the good that it has meant for us.

In the example I am about to tell you about my experience today, I tell you that today I went out to get gas, not as usual, but as I did three years ago, that is, standing in line behind a number of cars, the reality was that it took me about two hours to get gas, I thought it could take longer but in the end it was fast, especially considering the magnitude of the problem, and it seems that the gasoline shortage may come again.

The battery of my car discharged due to the number of times I had to turn off and start the car, from then on I had to push the car until I got to the gas station, after I refueled I had to call my brother to help me with his battery and start my car.

The purpose of this post is not to tell in detail what happened, but to explain the reflection that exists in the background as a result of everything that happened.

In the past, my country Venezuela has been suffering from problems in the production of gasoline and also with the entire logistics system for its supply, however, the time came when everything improved and perhaps many like me thought that everything had been solved, that is why we should ask ourselves:

When everything is solved, why do you go backwards and come back and stay in the same problem?

Everything that has to do with logistics and operations, aside, if it is related to a topic of economics and management is a bit complex, since everything has to be synchronized correctly, if any of the elements fails, the whole system will fail.

The times that the system in the production and logistics of gasoline supply has fallen into crisis, it simply comes and improves because they put a patch to the problem, that is to say, the problem is not solved at its origin, that is why I have already lost confidence in believing that this system every time it improves can really remain constant over time.

Maybe everything will come back and improve in a given time, but if the root of the problem cannot be solved, it is likely that the long and endless lines at the fuel stations will come back, since the system becomes unpredictable.

In summary, the moral of the case is that every time we have a complicated day, we can take advantage of it to analyze and reflect on its various aspects, since perhaps it is not a bad day due to a fortuitous cause, but perhaps it can be a bad day due to underlying causes that can be easily analyzed by ourselves.

In our life we must also try to solve the problems that arise from their original causes, because if we solve with small nuances, it is likely that the problems will continue to arise in the future.
