Following Instructions

In life there is a sets or steps of instructions that we should follow in order to complete our tasks, jobs, or goals. We've been instructed a lot of times to follow those steps of instructions carefully, but while doing so, sometimes we get distracted by our surroundings.
These distraction cause us to miss one steps or even more, and yet we kept on going, ignoring those steps that we miss. Then someone came and asked,
"why didn't you follow the instructions?" or "why did you skip that step?" We would usually reply with, "ow yeah ah that's ok, i got this, don't worry it's my thing, so it's all good." Little that we know those missing steps are slowly or maybe rapidly affecting our work progress. In the end it may costs us our jobs, our family, our relationship, our feeling, or even our life.
We didn't like to follow instructions because they're just boring, or in our expression we would say, "Instructions are for dummies", but guess what? even a great soldier follow the Commander's Instruction. There's always an instruction for everything that we do in life, instructions for cooking, driving, doing sport, cleaning, building, even for pilots there are instructions for Take Off, Flying, and Landing the plane, notice that these instructions were actually made for our own safety.
It doesn't really matter if you can do something better, faster, or nicer, as long as you do it right by the instructions, everything will go smooth and safe(your safety). So let's start following instructions carefully and don't worry if you miss a step, just go back and do it again. Well if you don't wanna do it again or start over, in that case, let's be really focus in following instructions, don't let ANYTHING distract us.
