The story of the water jet

Yesterday, I was jogging with my manager at Kota Kemuning Park. There is a very wonderful place to relax and rest.

I was a few step in front of my manager, therefore I slow down and stopped on the side, watching the water jet up from the pond. Yup, there is a big pond in the middle of the park.

While watching the water, I saw a phenomenon which may already experienced by other. The water is jet up to certain level of height above the pond by the water pump. As we know, if we increase the pump power and its capacity, definitely the water is jet higher than this level. We also note that if increase the pump power, it will increase the cost, in the sense of initial cost and energy cost. If you increase the power, the water will jet higher because pressure is sufficient to pump the water to next step. It should understand by every people.

But do we see this phenomenon in our life? I mean our daily living activities. I do. I observe this phenomenon used to be happened in the working life. When you are pushed by your boss, give you a heavy pressure, you definitely will work harder and harder,but in the sense your boss also invest the time and effort to train you.

In stead boss should not give over pressure to worker until the worker to be exhausted. I believe the world is fair. If you want to get something, you have to give up something/ sacrifice something. But it can not be too much/ over the limit, because the thing can not stand for that, it will break.

You and I will get nothing at the last if you and I giving too much pressure to each other. Therefore, the balance point is very important in doing any thing.

"Balance" is the key word, but there is different balance point for every people. What is yours? What is your limit?
