Thoughts triggered by an airplane crash—don’t put all your eggs in one basket
Thread Content
At 10:15 p.m. on the 28th local time, a charter flight carrying players from the Brazilian football team Chapecoense headed to Colombia to compete in the Copa Sudamericana final crashed. There were 72 passengers and 9 crew members on board; the accident resulted in 75 deaths, with only 6 people surviving. He said that search and rescue operations would be suspended as no more survivors were found at the scene. This accident should deal a fatal blow to the Chapecoense football team; it is likely that they will not be seen on the field for a long time to come ； After this accident, I finally understood why the company’s senior executives never took the same flight on business trips. As a foreign-owned company with numerous branches, there are often various meetings to which the senior management needs to attend. Yet, whenever they went on a business trip, even if they were departing on the same day, they never took the same flight. I used to not understand this practice; I always thought the probability of an airplane crash was very low. But this accident showed me that I was wrong – even the smallest probability can become a reality. Don’t put all the eggs in one basket; one day we will truly understand why.
Domestic companies probably don’t have such a rule yet; they should learn from foreign-funded companies*
Don’t put eggs in one basket; this requires many baskets, resulting in higher costs. Many leaders gamble on the probability of accidents but are unwilling to invest in safety.
You’re right; even if the probability is low, it’s still possible, so precautions are needed...
Yes, public institutions all have such arrangements.
This consideration should be taken into account; otherwise, the organization will become paralyzed
What’s the use of having insurance? In the event of an accident, everything might belong to someone else – your wife, children, house, car, money.
This is what is often said: sleeping with someone else’s wife, raising someone else’s children, living in someone else’s house, driving someone else’s car, using someone else’s money – and suddenly realizing that one is the most important person
