Borrowing and Walking

Our company is the subscriber of some magazines and newspapers. Some of these magazines and newspapers, such as Tempo Magazine, Koran Tempo, and Kompas, are read by many employees, while others like The Jakarta Post and Bisnis Indonesai are read only by a few.

There are some employees who often forget to return the magazines and newspapers back to their place after they read them. I don’t mean to prejudice my colleague. I believe that they really forget to return the magazines and newspapers. However, there is another possibility. That is, thsese people are reluctant to walk and return the magazines and newspaper they have borrowed.

Actually, many of us often do the same thing, not only in the workplace, but also outside the office as well. We forget to return things such as pen, pencil, scissor  book, etc. Nevertheless, we must remember that things we borrow are not ours. Therefore, we have to return them. We also have to make sure that they are in good condition. If something we borrow is broken, we have to apologize and replace it if the owner demands us to do so.

For those who are reluctant to walk, please remember that walking is a good exercise. Walking is also an easy and cheap sport. You can do it almost everywhere. Yo do not need a lot of money as well. It is highly recommended for busy people who almost don’t have time to do an exercise which requires a larger place, more time, and more money. As the starting point, instead of reaching your colleague by phone, why don’t you walk to his/her desk?
