Recently went to Bali with family, and then my wife and I were responsible for checking in the luggage.
All this time, we used auto check-in because it's faster and we don't have to wait in line.
But for some reason that day, we tried several times but couldn't do it.
So, we had to go to the counter for manual check-in.
Hey, the queue for the counter check-in was also short, maybe we were still considered early.
In about 5 minutes, we will arrive.
Then, I put my luggage on the scales to weigh it.
Then, the person at the counter starts recording.
He keeps typing and typing in front of the computer for about 10 minutes.
I wonder why it's taking so long. Could it be that they can't find our names?
Just as I was about to ask him, he suddenly got up from his seat.
From counter 1, he walked all the way to counter 9.
I followed him because I wanted to figure out what was happening.
The counter attendant, together with his colleague from window 9, walked back to window 1.
"This is how you press"
"Done, all set"
After that, the colleague from window 9 quickly gave us our Boarding Pass.
The process took less than a minute.
My wife and I looked at each other and laughed foolishly.
Because my wife and I were mentally running many small dramas,
Whether someone did not pay tax, still owed money to the government, or bought the wrong plane ticket, etc.
It turns out it's not a big problem...
It turns out it's just this service staff who doesn't know how to operate...
We waited so long for nothing...
At that moment, my wife said a sentence,
"I shout, I will definitely not do this job, I can't do it well if I have to press and press such complicated things."
"If I choose such technical work when I enter the society, it will harm many people."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the queue behind us, and we were about to reach another counter...
Upon hearing that, I was about to burst into laughter.
My wife is not as exaggerated as she said, which would harm many people.
The reason why she says so is because her self-study ability is not good, and the exams are not within her range of excellence. So she often describes herself as a clumsy person.
But having poor self-study ability is not a big problem, because everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. The key is to know how to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.
My wife knows that she learns slower and is not as quick in her actions, so she doesn't do too many practical tasks that require fast movements, because that's her weakness.
One thing she excels at is being observant and attentive to others' words and actions. She is a typical sales expert, so she focuses on doing what she is good at - sales.
My wife is not intelligent, but she is very wise.
No one is perfect, and we cannot excel in every field.
Playing to our strengths and avoiding our weaknesses is sometimes a form of wisdom.
