Reading The TEA LEAVES
Reading The TEA LEAVES is something I heavily hesitate to venture or explore simply because 'Teaf Leaf Reading' a.k.a. TASSEOLOGY is a fortune-telling method that uses tea residue on the bottom of the cup to predict what the future will bring [to the tea drinker]. Then, after drinking the tea, the residue on the bottom of the cup forms different shapes or symbols , each of which have distinct meanings and many ways to interpret themπππTo clear up a possible confusion that we are venturing into 'Tea Leaf Reading', NO sirrrrrrs, we WON'T. Having said this, what we're harping is that in life, there are multiple instances when and where we tend to be in that 'Tea Leaf Reading' scenario. If you're still a student in school, surely when you receive a failing grade in a subject, you WON'T get flabbergasted. WHY? Because expectedly, you should have taken the initiative to do 'Tea Leaf Reading' of your situation in school. It's the same thing in the workplace. WHY will you get shocked when you receive an HR Memo regarding a specific policy breachπππIn your relationships with your partner/spouse and even within your immediate family, once someone gives you the 'cold shoulder' the past days and weeks, would you attribute that to just 'mood swings'? Genuine issues run deeper way beyond the surface and similar to the way the Tea Leaves will form at the bottom of the cup, genuine and real issues are buried deep down there. Similarly in life, the most difficult issues we need to resolve could be buried deep beneath way beyond the surface and it requires more than just token effort to unearth such burning issues yet cloakedπππ
So, here we are, egging everyone of us to seriously consider taking initiatives that run similar and analogous to Tea Leaf Reading because the reality is, we need to get into the realization that this is a DIY [Do It Yourself] solution that has no clear-cut formula to follow❎❎❎
In the workplace, our technical jargon for this is PREDICTIVE information, something that is akin to forecasting but based on a sheer combination of facts and assumptions. Imagine your life ahead WHERE you just DON'T care less, WHERE you're fine with WYSIWYG [What You See Is What You Get]. But if it's NOT worth Reading The Tea Leaves, what else is worth❓❓❓
