無む駄だなものを早はやめに見み極きわめ、優ゆう先せん度どをつけ、いかにスピーディに仕し事ごとをこなしていくか。それが賢かしこく成せい果かを出だす方ほう法ほうだ。目めの前まえの先せん輩ぱいたちも、そうやって働はたらいている人ひとも多おおいのではないかと思おもいます。

でも、そうした人ひとたちの問もん題だい点てんは、仕し事ごとの判はん断だん軸じくが自じ分ぶんになるということです。結局けっきょく自じ分ぶんが効こう率りつ的てきに働はたらけるか、自じ分ぶんが求もとめられている仕し事ごと量りょうを時じ間かん内ないにこなせるかが最さい大だいの判はん断だん軸じくになっていくのです。

すると、できる範はん囲いのこと、無む理りのないことに収おさまっていってしまうのです。

(高たか橋はし克かつ杈『「上じょう司しがさっぱりわかってくれない」と思おもっているあなたへ』による)
