It’s so frustrating
Thread Content
I’ve been working in refineries for a few years now; although I still work on shift, thanks to my hard work, I was able to earn an intermediate professional title. But when an accident or emergency occurs, my mind goes blank; I just follow those more experienced people without having any own opinions. It’s not that I have my own opinions and want to act on them, but at least I should have some idea of what to do, right? At such times, I feel like I have no thoughts at all. But in normal situations, I can think things through clearly, and sometimes even more thoroughly than those more experienced people. Sometimes, in daily work, I make silly mistakes – the kind of mistakes that I think even someone who has been working for a year wouldn’t make. Every time such a mistake occurs, my confidence takes a severe hit, and I often wonder if I’m not suited for this job, which leads me to underestimate my own abilities greatly. I don’t know if anyone else has encountered this situation, or if any of you have any ways to solve it or overcome it. Could you give me some advice? I really want to do well in this field. Thank you first! !
When enemies attack, meet them with troops; when water comes, block it with earth. Take your time – there are stages in the process, times when the mind is blank. Once that period passes, you will have improved.
All of these are things one must go through; working in the chemical industry requires one to become stronger inside. When there’s an opportunity to work in production management, you must seize it; it’s the most demanding and stressful time, but it’s also the most rewarding in terms of personal growth.
Handling emergencies is the best way to assess one’s ability to react in such situations and their familiarity with the equipment. First and foremost, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of the equipment – knowing how to deal with problems that arise, how to resolve them as quickly as possible, and which actions could cause damage to the system or to people. Once you understand these things, dealing with faults will become much easier, and you won’t experience a blank mind. This can only be achieved through accumulation and regular learning.
One has to experience it many times to understand this; otherwise, after working for several years without encountering it, one really feels at a loss for words
Next time it happens, it won’t be blank; after all, since this situation has never occurred before, it’s understandable.
Experience is gained through practice; when faced with situations, one should learn and summarize from them, then handle such situations calmly when they arise again.
You are a perfectionist who tries to consider everything thoroughly in advance, pays attention to details, and has a solid plan before starting any task! This is your strength, but people with this personality tend to feel overwhelmed and not know what to do when faced with sudden events. It’s okay; you need to gain experience and knowledge, and also work on improving your ability to handle emergencies and make decisive decisions!
If you experience a few minor accidents, you’ll become more experienced. It’s also dangerous to follow others blindly without having your own opinions
