Whether it is work or career, as long as the motivation is pure, it will be smooth. Abandoning selfishness and acting for the society and the world, no one can hinder it, but will receive help from God. —Kazuo Inamori Kazuku.
Playing with powerThe cause will not be successful
When making decisions, if your heart is full of selfish interests and desires, it will not end well.
In 1984, before the creation of Second Telecom, I established the purpose of "reducing the cost of national calls".
In addition, over the course of several months, I asked myself whether I had selfish motivesAfter I was convinced that I had no selfish intentions, I decided to participate.
It was precisely because of the purity of his motives that he was able to develop his career without hesitation and decisively. This is important.
The business world seems to be full of strategic tricks, but the essence of a truly successful business is very simple.
When I come down, I will tell the students, "Work hard!"."I can't stress enough that you have to work hard.
Look at me. I'm in my 60s, and I'm still coming to you, ordering a bowl of udon, and staying with everyone until late, giving it my all. Do you work so hard for your own company?”
When the students participate in the activities of Moriwa Juku, Mr. Inamori first speaks for an hour or a half, and then has a family meeting after which they talk while drinking. Mr. Inamori didn't let anyone go to him 10 minutes before the meeting, so he ordered a bowl of udon, ate it in 10 minutes, and then drank shochu or beer mixed with water to give everyone ideas. ）
2. A leader's way of thinking doesn't just affect individualsIt is also related to the fate of employees and even society
Whether it is a start-up enterprise or an established enterprise with a long history, its leaders often have excellent "ability" and "enthusiasm".
Moreover, their "way of thinking" was not bad at first, so they were able to achieve great success and the business to grow.
However, when they succeed, they often indulge in status, wealth, honor, and personal feelings for family and friends, and their way of thinking as a leader gradually deteriorates, and finally pulls the trigger on the decline of the company.
The so-called "success is also Xiao He, failure is also Xiao He", it is the leader who knocks on the door of success, and it is also the leader who leads to the decline of the enterprise.
As long as a person is willing to bear the consequences, it is his freedom to choose how to think, but only group leaders, represented by business managers, cannot have such thoughts.
A leader's mindset affects not only the individual, but also the fate of employees and even society.
Therefore, the leaders of the Commander-in-Chief must not consider it their freedom to choose their own way of thinking.
For the happiness of the Group and the prosperity of society, it is the duty of leaders to have a noble and far-reaching way of thinking.
Moreover, the appearance of a country should have an extraordinary, noble "way of thinking" and a noble personality, otherwise it is very likely to lead to the destruction of the country.
In a company, not only the president, but also the head of the department and the head of the organization, as long as they are the head of the organization, they cannot choose their own way of thinking as they please.
For the happiness of the group, leaders must have a noble "way of thinking" – something that the leader, or who will be, deeply aware of.
3. Have such a humble heartis what makes success sustainable
The driving force that drives business operators to strive is the strong will and enthusiasm to make their enterprises bigger and better.
Further down to the roots, it is still human desire, a strong desire.
Enough desire, coupled with talent and intelligence, can make the business work.
This applies not only to the enterprise as a collective, but also to the development of various cultures, science and technology, and even the progress of mankind as a whole.
Some even threaten to hold strong, greedy desires as virtues. "I want to earn more" and "I want to become a bigger billionaire", this kind of greed swells indefinitely.
However, endless greed will inevitably lead to destruction.
Talented, intelligent, driven, young and energetic, there have been quite a few such business operators recently, and they have achieved great success.
And when they succeed, they become more and more confident, and their desires expand. Unconsciously, self-confidence turned into arrogance, and the desire for self-expression became more and more inflated, so that he couldn't stop the car.
The boundaries between what can be done and what cannot be done become blurred, and as a result, they become addicted to bad Xi and bring about their own destruction.
For the progress of human beings, the progress of society, and the development of enterprises, human desire is necessary.
In today's society, I would not advise everyone to be cautious and stick to the rules. However, greed is not an option.
Desire, when it is excessive, excessive, is terrifying, and it is enough to wipe humanity off this earth.
It is entirely possible that the engine of development can become the engine of destruction.
It is precisely because society is full of whirlpool desires that we must know how to be content.
Even if you work hard and succeed at a young age, you should be grateful from the bottom of your heart because you have achieved success not by your own efforts, but with the help of many people.
In addition to gratitude, I will weigh in my heart, is it really a good thing that the company is so smooth sailing?There's no problem with it, right?Is there anything you do to overdo it?
Then you may hit the brakes. In my opinion,Having such humility is what allows success to continue.
4. A person who plays with powerHe was surrounded by the same people
The wretched will have something to hate. Hearing this, I think it's true.
If my happiness is determined by the state of my mind, then I am willing to treat others with generosity and kindness, no matter what others do.
However, even if you want to do this, can you still have such a heart when the other person is not the same person?It's a very vexing question.
Be compassionate and approach life with a pure heart. That being said, in the real world, a lot of people don't.
In our company, among our peers, there are such people. There are also many such people in society.
Others may say, "You can't live by relying only on the so-called pure mind." ”
The reality is that I get angry when I can't bear it anymore: "You're not right. "Since you live in this society, you can't just take care of yourself. ”
This kind of anger shows that my cultivation is far from enough, but it is also normal.
Instead of saying, "Since the other party is such a bad person, then we can't lose to him in terms of making bad things," but we can think about it this way: "If you don't want to do bad things, you can kindly remind the other person, 'What you're doing is wrong.'" ”
If my own practice is sufficient, as long as I think in my heart, "Be full of kindness and face life with a pure heart," the people around me should be able to transform into people with good hearts.
The reason why this transformation didn't happen was because I didn't practice enough.
One thing is for sure, if we try to change our mindset and treat people with the idea of "I want to do my best for everyone, and I hope everyone can be better", things will definitely go smoothly.
Even if there are bad people in the people we are dealing with, as long as we have that mentality, things will go well.
If a bad guy appears and uses inappropriate methods to confront him in order not to lose to him, it will often make things worse.
The so-called bad guys often play with power.
The so-called playing with power refers to speaking ill of people behind their backs, drilling camps everywhere, and deceiving superiors and subordinates.
When you encounter such a person, if you blindly try to confront him and use the same method of playing power tricks as him, it will lead to very bad results.
Here, I would like to share my experience. Someone came to visit me and said, "President, there's something I would like to ask you about."
Next, he began to confide in me: "I'm very unlucky right now to suffer like this. ”
So he told me about the misfortunes that had befallen him, and begged me, "Will the president help me solve it?"”
I listened to him silently, and the person who said, "I have suffered like this", actually made others suffer a lot.
So, I couldn't help but say, "What do you say?".Isn't that exactly what you do to others?”
In other words, this person is a man who plays with power, so the same people gather around him.
The man said, "I encountered a bill fraud, and the check was stolen and I suffered a big loss."
He said that he worked hard with his feet on the ground, but he turned out to be so unlucky.
But I want to say, "Isn't this called from your heart?"Or rather, haven't you been thinking about something like this?”
There are many people at work who think, "There's a nasty guy who bankrupts me, gets into bill fraud, etc." The real world is full of many bad people and bad things. "There are countless people who think this way.
