"Alone, when you are right, the world is right. This is what I saw in a leader's circle of friends, and I used to understand the meaning of this sentence: when a certain problem occurs, you should first find the problem from yourself, see if the problem appears in yourself, find the problem from yourself, and the world is right.
Recently, I was reading Mr. Inamori's book "The Way of Living", and after reading this book, I have another understanding of this sentence: "A correct outlook on life can carry out the right thing for people to do the right thing, and a correct outlook on life makes the world right." "If life is compared to a big tree, then the outlook on life is the root of the big tree, which determines whether the tree will eventually grow into a crooked neck tree or a towering tree.
Next, I would like to share with you my gains and thoughts after reading this book.
People are doing it, the sky is watching" This sentence is often heard in TV dramas, a sentence that bad people say when they are dissuaded by others after doing bad things. The same applies to real life. It is mentioned in this book that there is a force in this world that can guide and promote the continuous growth of all things, and this force is called "the will of the universe" in the book. My understanding of this "will of the universe" may be likened to "faith".
There are many sects in real life, such as ** religion, Buddhism, Taoism, etc., each sect has its own beliefs, and the beliefs in the sect will run through the process of personal daily life behavior, and the occurrence of certain things is influenced by faith. For example, there are many believers around me, and when something happens, they will think of "Lord". This is the effect of faith on a person.
If faith affects a person's life, then "fate" determines a person's life. We often say, "There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you have to ask for it." This sentence emphasizes the decisive role of "fate" for the individual. In this life, from the moment you fall to the ground, everything in life is arranged, and Mr. Inamori agrees with this in the book.
But there is another point in this book, which is that "man will conquer heaven". There are two hands in this world that can dominate life, one hand is "fate" and the other hand is "the law of karma". We often say, "Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil". Everything that happens to us has a reason, and these reasons are none other than the thoughts and actions of each of us. Every thought and action has its associated consequences. And doing more good deeds can change the established destiny of our lives, that is to say, the hand of the "law of karma" is greater than the hand of "fate", which is "man will conquer the sky".
There are many people who don't understand why some people do bad things in their lives, but still live a chic life, and the book also explains this phenomenon: when life is beyond the trajectory of fate, it is because the law of karma works;When good deeds do not produce good results in time, it means that fate is at work;When you do something bad and you don't see the consequences in time, it's because the time has not come.
I have also seen the view of a certain sect before: people should not only look at the period of time in this life, after the death of a person, the soul will go to another kingdom, and the evil consequences that you do not show in this life will be fulfilled in another kingdom.
In fact, this is all vigilant: do more good deeds, don't take evil as a small thing, and understand the "law of karma", in order to change the established destiny and make life better.
Thought determines attitude, and attitude determines behavior". Everyone's actions and thoughts are determined by "thoughts", and ultimately produce different results, which is the principle of "good and evil thoughts". So first of all, we must make sure that our "thoughts" are correct. How?
There is a principle mentioned in this book - the "principle of principle". This principle can be used not only for personal growth, but also for business management and even international exchange and cooperation. And this principle is not profound, it is the etiquette and morality that our parents and teachers taught us when we were young, such as: courtesy, righteousness, honesty, filial piety, faithfulness, etc. For example, in the process of establishing and operating KDDI, Mr. Inamori followed this principle in many decisions, which made KDDI's decisions more correctFor example, in answering the question of the national enmity between Japan and China, Mr. Inamori believes that Japan should apologize to China, which follows the "principle of principle" and the most basic view of right and wrong. Behind many complex things, there is a simple essence, and this is the truth of "the road to simplicity".
A lot of people will find it ridiculous, but I don't need to read what he wrote to know it. The book also mentions a very key point, "knowing" is not the same as "knowing", it must be practiced, and Mr. Inamori is seriously practicing this view, which is something that we ordinary people cannot insist on.
Mr. Inamori divides life into three stages, the first of which is the first 20 years from birth to **;The second stage is from the age of 20 to the age of 60, which is a year of hard work;The third is 20 years from the age of 60 and 20 years of preparation for death.
His understanding of life is that people live in order to be a little purer in death than in life. And the process of this life itself is like sandpaper for honing the soul, so that people can improve their minds and cultivate their spirits in the process of tempering, and leave the world with a soul of a higher level than when they were born, which is the purpose of life.
This kind of thinking and cognition is not recognizable to ordinary people. But we can learn from Mr. Inamori's wisdom: we should be grateful for every difficulty that arises in this life, whether it is good or bad, and that everyone we meet, who makes us grow and makes our souls reach a higher level. When you have this mentality, you will indeed find that the world is really very comfortable, and you will enjoy the world even more.
The book also mentions the "six improvements" that Mr. Inamori uses to improve his mind, namely: putting in as much effort as anyone else's, being humble and guarding against arrogance, daily reflection, always having a grateful heart, accumulating good deeds, thinking about altruism, and not having emotional troubles.
I have always believed that Mr. Inamori's pattern is not something that ordinary people can do, especially in the current capital-driven era, which is more difficult to achieve, why?"Contribute to the progress and development of human society while pursuing the material and spiritual happiness of all employees" is the purpose of Mr. Inamori's corporate management. If the first half of the sentence is due to the Japanese social system, then the second half of the sentence may be the reason why Kyoto ceramics, KDDI, and JAL have been able to flourish for a long time.
The word "altruism" is widely spread in many enterprises at present, and once became the "mantra" of business management. But when there is a conflict of interest, they will consider their own interests first, and "altruism" has become a slogan. And Mr. Inamori's "altruism" is integrated into his bones and deeply practiced. A business operator who can take "altruism" as the origin of doing business cannot but be admired.
When will people's hearts be filled with a deep and pure sense of happiness?It is by no means the moment when selfish interests and desires are satisfied, but the moment when altruistic behavior blossoms. The heart of "altruism" applies not only to business management, but also to people as individuals. People walk in the world, always have an altruistic heart, and everything goes well. Because people are born with the goodwill to do their best for the world and society.
At this point, my sharing is almost over, but about Mr. Inamori's great wisdom, his philosophy of respecting God and loving people, the concept of hard work, the altruistic business philosophy, and the amoeba management method are all worthy of our in-depth study and reflection. I think the first thing to learn is to learn to be a person.
What is right as a human being?”
My understanding is: people walk in the world, and they should have a heroic and righteous spirit.
Thank you Mr. Inamori for your wisdom.
