"Craftsman Spirit"

Everything depends on people. If you want to do things well, you must first do people well. "What has been accomplished, things will be accomplished", "Virtue first, then skills", "Adults come first, then accomplishments".

"A gentleman should pay attention to his foundation, and the foundation is established and the Tao is born." This is the foundation of adulthood.

"It is new every day, new every day, and new every day." Do simple things to the extreme, success will come naturally, and ultimately "stop at perfection." Just as Gu Dade said: "Becoming a great person or a small person all depends on your determination, and becoming a big or small person depends on your willpower."

"The Classic of Filial Piety" says: "The ultimate in filial piety and brotherhood, it reaches the gods, shines in the world, and is omnipotent." "Everything that goes wrong in life is due to unfilial piety." If you are not connected with your parents, how can you be connected? Master, colleagues and guests.

If you understand your master, your master will be dignified, and a strict master will produce a good disciple.

If you want to become a first-class craftsman, you must first let go of your petty self-esteem and accept all the knowledge given by the masters. Otherwise, you will not be able to grow.

In addition to technology, you must also improve your character and learn to be grateful. Without honesty and gratitude, people cannot grow.

The evaluation criteria of "Akiyama Woodworking": Technology accounts for 40%, and character accounts for 60%

A first-class character must have first-class technology

Instructions for craftsmen 30 items:

1. Before entering the workplace, you must first learn to say hello (to greet the other person, look into the eyes and smile sincerely)

2. Before entering the workplace, you must first learn to say hello Contact, report, and negotiate (the use of information can allow you and those around you to work smoothly, and also reassure everyone) "Contact, report, and negotiate" are the basic conditions for an employee to work. Frequent "liaison, reporting, and consultation" can determine the responsibilities one has in the current job. Not only can the person giving orders feel at ease, but also if problems arise, they can be quickly dealt with.

"Contact": Be direct and timely.

"Report": Be specific and clear, and avoid using vague words such as "quite", "probably", and "soon".

"Consultation": When a problem occurs, accurately grasp the key points of the problem and quickly find someone to discuss it with.

When problems arise at work, it is forbidden to solve them by arbitrary judgment, because work is not something done based on personal likes and dislikes. Dealing with it yourself will often magnify the problem.

3. Before entering the workplace, you must first be a cheerful person (a person who always maintains a cheerful and optimistic mood will make his surroundings brighter and happier. People gather around him, The orders came naturally.

)

4. Before entering the workplace, you must become a person who will not make the people around you anxious (by feeling the atmosphere of the scene, considering problems from the perspective of others, and taking action truthfully, you can also It can improve your own character. )

5. Before entering the workplace, you must be able to correctly understand what others say (correctly understanding the instructions and executing them truthfully can also improve your own character.) To achieve For this purpose, it is necessary to develop the habit of listening to others correctly "listening training".

6. Before entering the workplace, you must first be an amiable and easy-to-get-to person (an amiable person, people around him must be very happy to serve him.)

7. Entering the workplace In front of the workplace, you must become a responsible person (working responsibly will inevitably produce a sense of tension, so that you can concentrate on your work and improve your skills). If you do not think that all results are your own responsibility, you will not be able to feel moved and joy. Responsible behavior means not fleeing the scene if a problem occurs; no matter how small the problem is, it will not be vague and perfunctory. The more difficult it is, the more seriously you must face it and persevere to the end. Responsible people will take all the mistakes of those around them as their own responsibility. From the configuration of objects to a complete overview of the situation, there is no responsibility at all.

8. Before entering the workplace, you must be someone who can respond well (whether you understand it or not, you must express it clearly, so as to avoid mistakes) "Akiyama Woodworking" regulations on "answering": Apprentice When we answer the work instructions of our senior brothers, we should say: "Yes, I understand." When answering the customer's request, you must say: "Yes, I understand, please leave it to me!" If you want to become a professional, you must enter combat mode and put in 101% effort, otherwise you will not become a first-class talent.

9. Before entering the workplace, you must become a person who can think about others (it is very important to put yourself in the other person's shoes before acting). A person who thinks about others is popular. , A person who can always consider others and be kind-hearted, his work will surely touch people's hearts.

10. Before entering the workplace, you must become a "nosy" person (if it is for the good of the other party, even if it offends the person, it is important to say what you should say). If you can express gratitude If you look at other people's "nosy" with a sincere heart, you will be able to grow.

11. Before entering the workplace, you must become a persistent person (it is very important to not set limits on technology and character, and to continue to pursue higher realms). Even if you are denied, can you say: "Please let me try again"? If a frontal attack doesn't work, you have to struggle hard, think of ways, and find a way to let the other party guide you. The so-called "persistence" means "not giving up" on things; the so-called "not giving up" is also a kind of "depth of thought." Trying various methods repeatedly and persisting until you get it right is the most pragmatic way to achieve success. Giving up midway is failure, but not giving up will lead to success. If people are not satisfied with the status quo and continue to pursue a higher realm, they will definitely become persistent. Keep asking yourself “what do you want to become?” You can open up your infinite potential. "The persistence to complete one thing over and over again, the persistence to concentrate and continue to do one thing" ------ It is this "persistence" that leads to first-class achievements.

12. Before entering the workplace, you must become a person with a sense of time (time never stops, the important thing is to think about what you can do now and not waste every moment.) Always care about time People must also be the ones walking in front. Time does not run out forever. From the moment of birth, people move toward death second by second. If we could realize this, we would no longer be carefree. A person's learning time is also limited, but if you can learn at twice the speed, you can achieve two years of growth in one year; if you can learn at four times the speed, you can achieve four years of growth in one year. If you want to "learn from work", you must live every day very seriously. Only those who go all out for everything, never regret, and persist to the end can grow into first-class talents. People who value time will be ready to work at any time, so they can always keep their time and keep their promises.

13. Before entering the workplace, you must be a person who has tools ready at all times (if the tools are neatly and perfectly equipped, you can start working immediately.

In addition, tools are good partners who help us throughout our lives, and tidying them up is a way to express our gratitude to them. ) If you know how to cherish your tools, they will help you. When you cherish your tools, you will trust them. Your movements will naturally become more responsive and you can do the job at hand properly, and these tools will also last longer. If one can use tools like his own hands and feet, such a person will become a first-rate craftsman.

14. Before entering the workplace, you must become a person who is good at cleaning (cleaning is the last step of the work, which directly affects the next work, so it is very important). A person who is good at cleaning, Must also be good at work. Ninety percent of cleaning work involves tidying up, throwing away unnecessary things, and placing necessary tools around you in order. It is very important to do these things in advance. Finally, use a broom to sweep away the trash and dust. If you do the cleaning work with gratitude and a heart of comfort, you can cultivate your character. Just by cleaning, we can improve our skills and character.

15. Before entering the workplace, you must become a person who understands your own position (the important thing is to clearly identify your current position, think about what you should do, and then take action immediately.) There are many positions of people. If you constantly think about your own duties, you will naturally be able to understand the other person's wishes and then understand what should be done. In other words, knowing where you stand produces top talent.

16. Before entering the workplace, you must become a person who can think positively (always thinking about what kind of person you want to be in the future, and being able to face any problem positively no matter what problems you encounter, such a person will definitely be able to grow) Counting ten generations back to about 300 years ago, there would be 1024 ancestors. If one of them were missing, we would not be where we are now. In other words, everyone living now has genes that determine luck and talent. If you want to become a superstar in the industry, you must not be afraid of hardship, give full play to your abilities 101%, face problems, improve yourself, and live for society and others. This is the greatest joy of being a person. Most people's talents are less than one thousandth of what they have. This is really a waste. If you want to maximize your potential, you must maintain a cheerful, forward-looking attitude no matter what, so that you can continue to grow.

17. Before entering the workplace, you must become a grateful person (it is very important to take action with gratitude for the support of those around you.) No matter the final development is good or bad , A person who can be grateful for everything is a person who can learn a lot and continue to grow.

18. Before entering the workplace, you must be a person who pays attention to appearance (a person who is unkempt must also have very confused thoughts. As a social person, appearance is very important for work safety.) "Akiyama Craftsmen and students of "Carpentry" all wear uniform work clothes with the name of the workshop and their own name embroidered on the chest. Everyone wearing work clothes is a face representing "Akiyama Woodworking". Only by taking care of yourself neatly and behaving appropriately can you become a craftsman recognized by others.

19. Before entering the workplace, you must become a helpful person (it is important to always think about what the people around you need and take action.) A person who cares about others and acts conscientiously has a clear eye. You can always discover things that others cannot see. The process of cultivating this ability is what I call "superpower training". Taking action only when others ask you to do so is the worst policy; imitating other people's actions is the best policy. The best policy is to realize and take action yourself without waiting for others to call you. Even if the customer doesn't have any special requirements, you can think of a lot of things for the customer very thoughtfully, and the customer will be very surprised. Becoming a person with "superpowers" is actually very simple. First, you must clear your mind of selfish distractions, then watch what others do, listen to what others say, and then concentrate on your work with a high sense of tension.

20. Before entering the workplace, you must become a person who is proficient in using tools (if you can use tools well, just like using your own hands and feet, you can make something touching.

) As a craftsman, you must work extra hard to achieve first-class results

21. Before entering the workplace, you must become a person who can introduce yourself well (re-recognize yourself, let the other party understand your strengths, and It’s important to talk about your personal dreams. ) At Akiyama Woodworking, if you can’t introduce yourself within one minute, you won’t be able to get a job. First, introduce your birth and growth background within 20 seconds, including your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and your own growth experience. In the next 20 seconds, I will introduce the three things I am most proud of so far, including academics, technology and the vocation I have found. The last 20 seconds are to introduce your life goals and dreams, and talk about what you want to do as a person, a family member, a leader, and as a Japanese. The so-called self-introduction is the process of getting to know yourself again. Move and inspire the listener through the introduction. If you introduce yourself clearly and concisely, you will be able to go all out and not flinch even if you encounter difficulties.

22. Before entering the workplace, you must be a person who can have "Pride" (how much effort you put into customers and what kind of things you make are important to show.) "We work hard to "Do", "Everyone works wholeheartedly", etc. are all great "pride" terms. A first-class craftsman must be able to say professionally, fluently and appropriately when facing customers: "How is it? Great!"

23. Before entering the workplace, you must be able to express your opinions well People (it’s important to share ideas in order to create a better product.) I think it’s a good thing if ten craftsmen can have eleven opinions. At "Akiyama Woodworking", everyone helps and learns from each other in order to become first-class craftsmen. If it is something you have done well, be "proud" of your colleagues, and at the same time be willing to listen to what your colleagues say you are "proud" of. It is also important to communicate your progress to others. A first-class craftsman who can say "If it were me, I would do this..." does not mind even if others laugh at him. Only by speaking out your opinions frankly, establishing connections with others, and being accepted by others can you continue to grow.

24. Before entering the workplace, you must become a diligent letter writer (expressing gratitude through your own words can better convey your thoughts.)

25. Enter Before entering the workplace, you must become a person who is willing to clean toilets (hone your mind by cleaning the dirtiest places.) The first condition of a craftsman is humility. When people are born, the nature of their human hearts is the same, and they are all beautiful. It is very important for craftsmen to fight against selfish desires and restrain themselves. Only with a beautiful mind can you create beautiful things. Only by promoting good and eliminating evil can we get closer and closer to the first class. As long as we live, we use toilets and minds every day, so pollution is inevitable. Therefore, cleaning must be carried out carefully and meticulously, even the invisible places must be cleaned. Only by doing it repeatedly every day and accumulating continuously can we have a beautiful heart.

26. Before entering the workplace, you must become a person who is good at making phone calls (it is important to be able to express yourself concisely and understandably when you cannot see the other party.) As soon as we entered "Akiyama Woodworking", we First, telephone answering training will be conducted. Since the telephone is a tool for communication only through sounds and words, practice it repeatedly to avoid saying rude things. The most important thing when answering the phone is to keep your voice clear and cheerful. When answering an outside call, say in a pleasant voice: "Hello! I am from "Akiyama Woodworking"... Thank you very much for your continued care! And answer clearly. Don't keep customers waiting when you answer the phone. You must take notes and repeat important things for the other party to confirm. During the conversation, you must avoid using vague words, and your explanation must be specific and easy to understand. At the same time, pay attention to wording and polite words with thanks. Answer with your heart. It is very important to be a first-class self when answering the phone.

27. Before entering the workplace, you must be a fast eater (there are also ways to eat, and we must thank the farmers and cooks for us. People who cook food must develop the habit of not wasting anything and eating everything with relish, which will affect their work.) A trainee in the first year of joining the company is responsible for making breakfast for everyone living in the dormitory.

Because craftsmen are a group and cannot start their work without collective action, they must start and finish the meal together. As long as one person eats slowly, it will affect the work of everyone. While eating, be grateful to the people who provided the ingredients and cooked the food. Picky eaters are also prohibited. Because if someone is picky about food, they will also start to be picky about jobs and people in the future. If I find someone using chopsticks incorrectly or eating poorly, I will promptly remind them to correct it. After the meal, everyone will clean up and clean the tableware together in an orderly manner. Meal time is also an important training for cultivating first-class craftsmen.

28. Before entering the workplace, you must become a prudent person with money (it is very important to correctly understand the process of money creation and use money with gratitude). Do not think that the advice of masters and seniors is Of course, regardless of remuneration, they spared their precious time as first-class craftsmen to teach people the secrets of doing things, which should not be wasted but should be learned with gratitude. If you want to be a good craftsman with impeccable work, you must go all out for training, even if you are sweating profusely and covered in mud, you must persist to the end. Persistent efforts can help you acquire skills that will last a lifetime and develop a noble character, so this is also an investment in your future.

29. Before entering the workplace, you must become a person who knows how to calculate (quick calculations can improve the efficiency of using time and materials, and can also produce products that satisfy customers.) "Reading and writing ", abacus" are the three basic skills of a craftsman. To handle work quickly and orderly, you must have the ability to do mental arithmetic. Never give up when faced with difficulties, have nimble fingers, strong concentration, and the ability to keep your body and brain functioning at full speed, etc. In other words, one has mastered the correctness, patience, meticulousness, concentration, and many other abilities necessary to be a first-class craftsman, so one can become an excellent craftsman who can make correct judgments in an instant and has strong understanding.

30. Before entering the workplace, you must be someone who can write a brief work report (using simple notes to record what you learned that day can deepen your impression again, which is equivalent to studying twice as hard every day.) "Akiyama The apprentices of "Carpentry" have to write a summary report of the day on the blank drawing paper in the sketchbook after completing their work every day. In this way, they review what they have done that day and preview what they will do the next day. Of course, the report contains records of successes and well-done things, as well as records of failures, scoldings, and ways to improve. Seniors will write comments after reading the reports of juniors. Through this kind of written communication, they can understand why they failed and why they were criticized. Wait until the next day, a week, a month or even three months later, the person involved will read the notebook again and will have a clear understanding of his or her growth status. If there is improvement in the area that was criticized, it means that your overall level has improved and you have indeed made progress. After writing a work report, attach a personal status and send it to parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents or mentors. Ask them to write warm words of blame or encouragement in the report, and then send it back to the workshop. In this way, we “bring in” the apprentices’ families, teachers, relatives and friends to cultivate first-class craftsmen together. Gratitude is inevitable when apprentices realize that everyone around them supports them. With gratitude, they take a step closer to becoming first-class craftsmen.

This book is recommended to those who reflect on themselves three times a day. Every time they look at the notes, they will review themselves~

Work is about cultivating the mind, and life is a practice~

"The Way of Doing" by Kazuo Inamori and "The Spirit of the Craftsman" by Toshiki Akiyama not only taught me how to face work, but also taught me how to face life.
