Whether you are celebrating spring break, the Easter holiday or Passover, they all deserve some attention in commemorating what exactly these set of days mean to you.
By doing so, we honor one of Six Sigma’s core rules — to have an objective. It is extremely important, otherwise everything falls into a default category. The default category is like a folder that has no specific title, or perhaps we title it Miscellaneous, which is another word for various or mixed, which leads to confused or jumbled.
We live in a diverse society with many cultures, which is great, because it makes us open-minded and tolerant to many cultures and traditions of others. But at the same time, we might lose our objective of what this time of year means to us.
So whether you are used to celebrating this time of year at the beach with family and friends and call it spring break — or you observed Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, and then woke up early and went to church and celebrated Easter — or perhaps you observed the Jewish traditions during this time and you celebrated Passover, it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that you observe what is important to you.
With work it can be difficult, but all it takes is to know your objective. With the holidays, perhaps your objective is to pay homage in private; it doesn’t matter as long as it gets done and it means something to you. The bigger lesson is that you never lose sight of your objective, or what is important to you.
