67.2 Firmness in Action

 67.2 Firmness in Action

 

Question:

What happens when a project is not completed?

 

Answer:

It is manliness to complete the project that has been started.

Terminating the project in the middle will cause endless troubles.           (Couplet – 663)

டைக்கொட்கச் செய்தக்க தாண்மை இடைக்கொட்கின்

எற்றா விழுமந் தரும்.                                                             (குறள் – 663)

 

Explanation:

              In the planning process, the importance of the project, the scope of the project, and the resources required to complete the job should be thoroughly researched. Only after proper planning, a project must be undertaken. If the project is important enough to be completed, then every effort should be made to complete the project on time as planned. If an important project is abandoned in the middle, it will cause many problems. For example, if a vital construction project is terminated in the middle, all the expenses incurred would have been wasted. If the project is essential, it must be completed sooner or later. When the project is restarted after a long lapse of time, the cost of construction would be much higher than what was initially planned.

 

Suppose two countries are involved in a war. One country cannot arbitrarily decide not to fight. Such a decision will be fatal to that country. In a war, there are only three options to end the war. One option is for the two countries to sign a peace treaty and stop fighting. The second option is one country can surrender to the other country. In the absence of the first two options, the war will go on until one country wins over the other. Arbitrarily stopping to fight when the war is in progress is a foolish move that will result in grave consequences. Therefore, when a project is undertaken after proper planning, it is wise to complete it as planned.
