Idiom allusion is an idiom story, which comes from the Warring States policy Chu Ce Si. This story is about someone who keeps a sheepfold. One morning, he found a sheep missing. A closer look revealed that there was a hole in the sheepfold. At night, the wolf came in and took a sheep. Neighbors advised him to repair the sheepfold and plug the hole as soon as possible, but he refused to accept the suggestion and replied, "Why do you need to repair the sheepfold when the sheep have been lost?" The next morning, he found another sheep missing. It turned out that the wolf got in from the hole and took another sheep. He regretted not listening to his neighbor's advice, so he quickly blocked the hole and repaired the sheepfold. Since then, his sheep have never been carried by wolves.
The moral of this story is to take remedial measures in time after the problem occurs to prevent the loss from expanding. This story also reminds people not to ignore small problems, to solve them in time, to avoid the accumulation of problems, so as not to cause greater losses.
The idiom "better late than never" can be used in many situations. Here are some concrete examples: enterprise safety management: in the workshop of a factory, a mechanic forgot to lock the safety device of the machine, causing another worker to be injured during operation. Immediately after the incident, the factory conducted an investigation and realized that the use of safety devices was not enough to ensure the safety of employees. Therefore, the factory leaders decided to take measures to improve the design of machines and increase the training content of employees to improve their safety awareness. These measures ensure that employees will not be harmed in the future.
Financial management: In a company, due to the negligence of financial personnel, an important sum of money was withheld by mistake, and the company suffered heavy financial losses. After the company found out, it immediately took remedial measures and contacted the corresponding banks and legal institutions for investigation and recovery, so as to make up for the company's losses as soon as possible.
Health management: a person neglects his physical condition and fails to seek medical treatment in time, which eventually leads to serious health problems. After realizing the seriousness of the problem, the man began to change his lifestyle, actively exercise, pay attention to food hygiene, seek medical treatment in time, and his physical condition improved.
These examples all embody the principle of "better late than never", that is, once a problem is found, remedial measures must be taken in time to prevent the loss from expanding.
