The Necessity of Resources to Effect Changes

Many years ago, before coming to Australia, I stayed briefly at my brother’s place.

He had a unit on a campus of a school where I could catch up a bit on Calculus, that might be covered in the study I was to have in Australia.

I think I did a not-bad job in turning the unit into a ‘liveable’ place.

Another few years later, my brother had a quite packed apartment with all the family members and 2 guests, including me.

He dropped me a request: Help to sort the apartment.

In the end, he didn’t get the chance to express another ‘wow’.

That request was pretty much by itself.

No consent from my sister-in-law;

No space for me to put aside things;

No help on moving the loaded furniture;

No fund to get alternative stuff

No discipline on the naughty kids for any period of time

I didn’t have that much time with the stay too.

Good interior arrangements and great supply chain operations share things in common:

Neatness, Simplicity (the one after distilling the complexities), Functioning, Space, a bit of aesthetic touch, as well as if all going well, the ‘Cool’ impression people could get!

Sometimes one can work out certain results by him/herself, more often the reality is, the change or transformation takes necessary resources, which are inclusive of appropriate authorisation in place.
