"Fearless" is very suitable for people in the workplace to read, and it is also suitable for managers to read. If you are aggressive, you may not be able to read it patiently. But because you have an aggressive mind, you must read it patiently, because once you read every word patiently, you will suddenly understand something. But I can’t explain this feeling clearly, it varies from person to person.

"Professionalism" is an article that shocked me very much. Although I had some understanding of Japanese values ???? towards work before, I read this article with a different mood and suddenly felt like crying. impulse. Probably because I feel that I have never shown respect and extreme for my work. Always pay attention to the results and seek the shortest return on income. Although the work efficiency seems to be efficient, it is actually a perfunctory job. It is almost enough. This is how everyone handles it anyway. Looking back at the Japanese, and the "Encoffiner" mentioned repeatedly in the book, I went to read it carefully again before, and it was very worrying. Kobayashi Dawu is so calm, serious, and pious, everything is like a beautiful art display, and his job is to help the deceased to wipe the body, put on makeup, and bury him. At the beginning of the film, he refused this job and was afraid, just like people are born with the fear of death. In the eyes of his family and relatives, the mortician was inferior and had no respect at all. And if you watch the movie with your heart, you will pay sincere tribute, just like the last words of the grandfather who accompanied grandma in the bathhouse: Everyone is going to another world, and this is the door, and I am just a gatekeeper. , all I can do is tell them, be careful on the road, see you later.

Every industry has a special understanding of death. They do their job to the extreme, which is beautiful. However, domestic society tends to turn such beauty into a very boring process, as if the deceased is just a prop in his work. Over and over again, he never takes it seriously.

We are constantly pursuing speed, efficiency, becoming bigger and stronger, but in fact we have lost a lot, such as perfection, intention and truth. ? “A worker who has a diligent heart and does whatever work he is doing perfectly will be happier, and people around him will respect him because he has done his best in this matter. "The Japanese's praise and courtesy for food is definitely beyond our imagination. I watched "The God of Sushi" before, and I once again had respect for the country of Japan. After more than ten years of apprenticeship, I just cooked rice and kneaded rice balls. , if not the respect for the food and the love of the job, what keeps them going?

Repeat simple things, do them well, do them to the extreme, and turn them into the ultimate purity. This alone is your best positioning.

Summary of some words worth pondering over and over again:

1. To establish your own emotional account, be a person and do things Enterprises must not just rely on tangible contracts to restrict norms, but must learn to create emotions, cultivate "silent contracts", be willing to share and help, be willing to do unpaid things, and make the game of mutual help bigger and bigger, increasing The balance of your own emotional account.

2. The pursuit of success and wealth in modern society has made the standard for measuring happiness single. The ultimate goal of economic and social development is to make people happy, but the more developed the economy, the lower the personal happiness, because The measure of happiness is the amount of wealth you have, but the trouble is that there will always be someone richer than you, so you fall into a cycle of relative poverty; the logic behind the advertisement is that life can be wonderful, but it doesn't belong to you yet, so you have to spend money You can only buy it, and after you buy it, you will be told that there are better things, and you will become an unfortunate person again; why do we keep returning to zero what we have already obtained? Why are there no limits to our needs? People need to stop and look at their own hearts and not fall into this vicious cycle of pursuit.

3. You must have the ability to seek compromise and obedience, learn to be active in silence and active in passivity, and your heart’s capacity must be large enough. “Grief” means compressing your own ego and fulfilling a larger goal. pattern, intelligent obedience will resolve conflicts, but achieve another kind of dignity and leadership; in life and work, you must show weakness and self-strength, and behave like a gentleman. Those who "show strength and self-strength" are easily hurt, and "show weakness and self-weakness" and "show strength" "Weakness of oneself" is even worse.

4. Spend your energy doing the right thing instead of proving that you are a right person. Don’t always be dissatisfied with others. You must have the spirit of learning from others and admiring others.

5. Servant ethics: Only people and companies with a true service spirit can attract and lock consumers to the maximum extent, and build a strong and stable brand. Everyone is his own master, but at the same time he is the servant of others. "Continuous self-improvement" corresponds to oneself, and "being virtuous" is a requirement for others. This is a kind of invisible leadership that makes others have influence on you. An addictive dependence.

6. There are no sunrise industries, only sunrise enterprises. There are no sunset industries, only sunset enterprises.

7. Thinking needs to focus on the present. People are often not defeated by their opponents, but tortured to death by themselves. Doing things must have the realm of "Tao". The shoddy work of life and work is due to the lack of pursuit of perfection. , lack of professionalism.

8. People can often only hear or see what they want to hear and see. If things are too logical, beware of traps.

14. How to improve your influence, spend more time managing yourself, operating yourself, and cultivating yourself well, so that the best things in the world can embrace you. Excellent managers are like what Stephen Jobs said in his speech at Stanford University, "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish", which translates to "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish".

15. Every enterprise needs four kinds of people: thinkers, doers, pioneers, and communicators, all of which are indispensable. Thinkers can think of things that others have not thought of, but people with strong thinking power are relatively weak in action. Wu Bofan believes that many managers have fallen into misunderstandings and hope that all employees have the four abilities. In fact, this is impossible.

16. Most people think that "modesty" means a humble attitude, as if lying on the ground. But in fact, in ancient China, especially the "humility" described in the "Book of Changes" does not mean blindly giving in, showing weakness, and being humble. It is just the "modesty of a villain", while the "modesty of a gentleman" means having a sense of direction and Achievements, so the line says: "A gentleman who works modestly has an end, which is auspicious." ? "End" is the goal, and "labor" means enterprising, so the "modesty" here is also enterprising, hard-working, proactive, Have a sense of direction and a goal!

17. If a person is in a state of anxiety or under great pressure, he will not be interested in anything that is useless to the result. If people have been under the shadow of anxiety, stress and performanceism for a long time, they will have no interest in things that do not require performance in daily life, such as chatting and doing household chores. Remember: the most important things in life are not about efficiency or performance.
