Why do you want to work? What is the purpose of work?
The restless and fast-changing society has brought some young people to be confused and doubtful about work, more concerned about personal material enjoyment and spiritual comfort, and always resist to work.
Yes, why do we need to work at all? What is the true meaning of work?
Let's take a look at the legendary story of Kazuo Inamori, who is known as one of Japan's "Four Sages of Management" along with Konosuke Matsushita (Panasonic), Soichiro Honda (Honda) and Akio Morita (Sony).
In 1959, he founded Kyoto Ceramics Co.
In 1984, he founded Daiichi Denshi Corporation (now KDDI).
Both of these companies are Fortune 500 companies.
In 2010, he became the chairman of Japan Airlines Corporation, and in just one year, he turned the bankrupt and rebuilt JAL into a profitable company, with the highest profit margin of any airline company in the world.
In 1983, he founded Moriwajuku to teach business philosophy to entrepreneurs on a voluntary basis, and now has more than 12,000 students worldwide.
In 1984, he founded the "Inamori Foundation" and established the "Kyoto Prize", which is known as the "Asian Nobel Prize".
Some people will say that his success is due to his good fortune, is it really so? Let's continue to look at what happened to such a successful business entrepreneur.
Kazuo Inamori was born in Kagoshima, Japan, in 1932. He failed his junior high school entrance exams, then suffered from tuberculosis and was on the verge of life and death, and later failed his second junior high school entrance exams with a weak body. He failed to get into the medical school of his first choice, and was admitted to the engineering department of a local university, but after graduation, he had many setbacks in applying for jobs at large companies. Finally, he was introduced by his teacher and finally joined a small company in Kyoto that manufactured electric porcelain vases (insulated ceramic ware mounted on pylons or poles to support electric wires). Kazuo Inamori was 23 years old that year, and at that time he too was bemoaning his fate and was troubled in his mind. But he later changed his mind and began to work hard, and slowly the gears of his life began to turn in the direction of luck from the direction of misery and frustration that he had been running in the past. Thereafter, his life entered a brand new state, full of hope and constant success.
In this regard, Kazuo Inamori's life experiences and encounters and his subsequent turnaround in life tell everyone that "labor" is the "cure for all ills" and that work can overcome life's trials and tribulations and turn your fate around.
Then let's follow Kazuo Inamori's management philosophy and enter the "Work Method" together.
The first chapter raises the question of why we should work. From Kazuo Inamori's life experience, we can conclude that work can build character and refine the soul.
It is only by working "extremely" seriously that we can turn our lives around and change our destiny. Often we pursue dreams, fantasize about the good, and think about what we want more, people have the pursuit of dreams is a very good thing, otherwise what is the difference with salted fish. But the heart has a dream, the hands should have action. Both to look at the stars, but also on the ground. However, many people always have extravagant demands in their hearts, and while they want too much, they complain about the hard work, the unfairness of fate, the bad environment, the problems of the company, and the missed opportunities, but they have never thought that such complaints can solve any problems. Therefore, in this chapter, Mr. Inamori admonishes everyone to truly understand, know, understand and appreciate the meaning and true meaning of work, so that you can avoid the suffering of work, the tiredness of life, and too many complaints, and only if you insist on working "foolishly, seriously and honestly", all the suffering you experience will be used as a pavement for your future good, and all the difficulties you experience will be exchanged for your future good. The difficulties you experience will be exchanged for the wealth of your future success.
Chapter 2: Now that we have solved the pain point of why we work, how should we put in our work?
In the workplace, we often see a lot of workplace idle people, workplace numb people, daily like a small monk as a routine to ring the bell, no passion, no goal, no direction. How can this do a good job? The only way to do a good job is to change your mindset. Everything is an objective existence without any good or bad, superior or inferior, and your inner world gives the state of everything. You think the work is very nasty, you will feel painful to work; you think the work is very happy, you will feel very passionate to work. So it's all in the heart! When the heart changes, everything in the world changes with it.
So to devote yourself to your work, you must first love your work. Interest can be cultivated, the degree of love can also be slowly to enhance. The so-called success must be crazy obsessed with what they do, never to their own career apes. Focus on and even obsess about your work, you will find that the enthusiasm you put into it will definitely turn into the achievement of your work back to you. And you will find that when you focus on your work, the rest of the world has nothing to do with you, the beauty of that focus is that any busy things can not bother you, focused people will also exude an aura of passion and work. We call it "spontaneous combustion" talent! If you love your work and focus on your work, the gears of your destiny will turn more and more smoothly!
Chapter 3: Set "high goals" and keep working as hard as anyone.
"High goals" are what we call motivation and direction to move forward. If the apple on top of your head is within your reach, and you pick it and eat it, you will feel that the taste of the apple is ordinary and unexceptional. But if you can cross all kinds of difficulties, with the help of various tools, partners and other help, and finally pick the apple that you could not imagine picking before, then you will taste the taste as delicious as on earth.
The "high goal" serves as the direction and motivation for action, but the ultimate realization must also rely on action. If you set a high goal, hang it up high, and just lie down and look up every day without any action, then your high goal will forever become a dream on a high shelf.
Therefore, to achieve high goals, you have to put in as much effort as anyone. If you don't achieve your goal, the first thing you should do is not to complain that your goal is too high and your ability is too low to achieve it. You have to reflect on yourself, whether the goal has penetrated into the "subconscious" and do your best to achieve it, and put in as much effort as anyone, and the gods will naturally appear to help you succeed!
Chapter 4: The power of continuity
There is a saying in the text that I like very much, that is, "Even if the mountain is dangerous, you have to climb it vertically". So as we often say both have chosen ahead, that will be the wind and rain, do not ask hard. Too much trouble comes from thinking too much, and doing too little. Remove the emotional worries, rational to treat each day. Today's success comes from yesterday's efforts, that future achievements must rely on the present pay. Continuity is power, is in the accumulation of quantitative change, is in the breakthrough to accumulate the power of the outbreak. Continuity afternoon, no matter on the way to catch up, encounter any storm, flash floods, beasts, bumpy thorns, can not give up the front, and the road to the various difficulties as the road to success experience, as the cost in exchange for happiness and sweetness, as the opportunity to refine personality. Difficulties, there is nothing to fear, it is just another flavor of the normal apple presented.
Chapter 5 to perfection requires self, with details to keep the whole situation
Once saw a saying that business is not an examination. In business, no one sets the test, no one sets the standard, no one to give you an evaluation of how many points, so you can only do the best, to achieve perfection, to excel without enemies, then you are the best in business.
The pursuit of perfection, but also must focus on the details of the grasp, as a thousand miles of dike, collapse in the anthill. Look at the small details to avoid losing a lot for the small.
Chapter 6 Creative Work
Every day, you have to refine, you have to make something for yourself and make progress. Such as sweeping the floor, every day also just let yourself perfunctory, sweep clean is finished. That means that after 10 years of work, you may still be an ordinary cleaning staff. How to sweep more cleanly? How to improve the efficiency of cleaning? Think more about these questions and try to take action. This will not only make the daily work fun, but will also allow yourself to improve your ability in an invisible way.
Is one experience used for ten years, or ten years to master ten different experiences?
Work cannot reach a certain height if it only relies on physical strength. Work, it must be necessary to think deeply and to drill innovation every day.
The way of thinking that represents a positive or negative attitude, positive or negative goals, which is the most important prerequisite for reaching results.
Under the right premise, pay continuous enthusiasm, play and constantly improve the ability, in order to achieve the desired results in life / work.
Why work? Because work is the most valuable and fair "labor", work is the "cure for all diseases", work can change life, can create miracles. At this point, what reason do you have not to work well?
Mr. Kazuo Inamori, with his lifelong experience and success, has created the book "The Way of Doing" for you, which is worth reading carefully and repeatedly!
