One of the ways to succeed in
life is to pay attention to priorities. What are priorities? The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines priority
as something that is more important than other things and that needs to be
done or dealt with first. priorities: the things that someone cares about
and thinks are important. : the condition of being more important than
something or someone else and therefore coming or being dealt with ...www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/priority.
This implies
that priorities are more important than what may appear very urgent. True,
there is some urgency that should be attended to especially a life threatening
situation over a priority. However, there are some urgent situations that
should never take the place of priorities. For instance, if a non life
threatening situation that is not a priority, is not on your priority list of
activities and is designed to infringe on your time; what to do is to ignore it
completely and leave to the person who created it to deal with it. There are
people who through their non chalance create urgent situations that should
never arise if they paid adequate attention to their tasks for other people
with whom they work. Unfortunately, they usually do not have the capacity to
manage such urgent situations and are usually glad to pass them on to people
busy on the way to Success Street.
