Unfinished Job (முடிவுறுவாத வேலை)

Impact On Financial Health

Any unfinished project is always plagued with capital lock up, demoralized workforce, cost overrun, lost opportunity and ultimately ends up as totally non viable. The sunken money can not be recovered either. Meanwhile, the interest and penal interest cost on the loan amount for delayed payment would be mounting which at a particular point in time to make repayment impossible. The cascading effect, depriving the resources that otherwise could have been effectively deployed in other good tasks result in missed opportunities thus adversely affecting the financial health of the company. In short, it becomes the root cause for the whole downfall of the concern itself. This analogy made in the Kural given below, is finest in expressing the lurking danger. Like Unattended, Unextinguished, simmering fire and an enemy in waiting are equally  dangerous as like fire or a conflict can flare up in most unexpected time destroying an individual or a company.There is very good proverb in Tamil which says ‘There is no use by climbing up only half of the well’.

 வினைபகை யென்றிண்டின் எச்சம் நினையுங்கால்

 தீயெச்சம் போலத் தெறும். (674)    

 Vinaipagai Yendrindin Echam Ninaiyungal
 Theeyechham Poalath Therum 

     
 பகுதியில் நின்ற வேலையும், அழிக்காமல் விடப்பட்ட எதிரியும்
 அணைக்கபடாத தீயைப் போல் கேடு விளைவிக்கும் 

  Unfinished task and unconquered enemy will be destructive

  like unextinguished fire.  

 Impact On Reputation

There is no difference between a task not taken up or unfinished. In fact, a task not started is better than half done as you have choice to start other task and there is no commitment of resources. Further, no one ever appreciated or recognized a half finished job. Whole Exercise turns to be wasteful as it fails to meet the objectives. All efforts and resources invested will come to nought.All these factors, directly affects the Executive  in charge who looses his credibility, which damages his reputation as wel as his future. Completion of the  classic last mile in any race,differentiates the winner from the looser.Hence, it is imperative that the executive ensures that, any task once taken up is completed irrespective of  hurdles encountered.  Even big companies suffer the ignominy of  irreparable  loss of reputation due to unfinished project.

தொடங்கிய வேலையை ஒருவன் நிறுத்தக் கூடாது. உலகம் ஒரு பொழுதும் தன் கடமையை செய்யத் தவரியவனை மதிக்காது.   

Never leave a task unfinished as world does not care about person who fails to finish his duty.
