“Trust is good but control is better”
— Vladimir Lenin
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, just believing that everything will go well isn’t enough; you need to actively check and manage the situation to ensure things are done correctly. For example, if you leave your wallet on a park bench and trust that no one will take it, there's still a good chance it might get stolen. However, if you control where your wallet is by keeping it in your pocket, you're making sure it stays safe. Similarly, in a work setting, you might trust your employees to do their tasks well, but you should also regularly check their work to ensure everything is on track. This way, you can catch mistakes early and make improvements. It's about being responsible and making sure things happen the way they should, instead of just hoping for the best. Taking active steps to monitor and guide can lead to better results than just trusting without any follow-up.
