Kyocera Group's social motto is taken from Saigō Takamori's legacy: "Respect heaven and love others". After the death of Saigō Takamori, the commander-in-chief of loyalist, it was the warriors in the village, the cronies of Tokugawa shogunate, who compiled his remarks into Notes on Xixiang Weng. Saigō Takamori is a great man, who can be admired by his defeated opponents and has taken extensive measures.
"Temple is a major policy, but this is heaven, not a little private. It is God's will to be fair and just, to follow the right path, to widely select wise men and to promote capable people to be in power. Therefore, it is true that the sage gets his place. It is the worst thing to reward those incompetent people who are commended by the state. The fittest is awarded the official, the meritorious person rewards Lu, and the party cherishes talents (later omitted). "
Governing the country in the government is the natural way of running heaven and earth. Your behavior should not be selfish. Therefore, whatever we do, we must adhere to fairness, take the right path, gather wise people, and let those who can faithfully perform their duties take power. This is providence, in other words, obeying providence. Therefore, if there are really smart and capable people, they should immediately give up their positions. "
According to Saigō Takamori, the old employees who have contributed to the development of the company should be given economic rewards, not incompetent positions. Even if they must be promoted, they should not be given positions beyond their abilities.
"Those who are above all the people, be careful of themselves, be sincere to others, guard against arrogance and rashness, be diligent and conscientious, and be a model for the people. People don't pity their hard work, and government decrees are difficult to implement. However, at the beginning of the grassroots, the results of the reform are difficult to achieve. Today, the just battle between Chen and Wu has become a selfish state. I don't have the face to think about it. I will often cry to the world and the victims of war. "
Officials and politicians should always be cautious in their words and deeds, guard against arrogance and extravagance, be diligent and frugal, avoid waste, be modest and simple, be diligent and conscientious, and be in power with all their heart, so as to become a model for the people. If ordinary people are not moved by the hard work of the leaders and simple living, and show sympathy to the leaders from time to time, it will be difficult to carry out the government's orders. However, although it was the beginning of the reform, some people decorated their homes luxuriously. On weekdays, they had luxury goods and beautiful concubines, and all they thought about was how to collect money, which completely failed to achieve the real purpose of the reform. Today, the Chen Wu campaign, a just war, has degenerated into the result of only satisfying selfish desires. Xixiang remembered this incident and felt deeply ashamed, unable to face the country and the victims of the war. "
Managers must take the lead in running enterprises. It is necessary for employees to admire, "The boss is immersed in his career and completely selfless at work." When employees have such an idea, the instructions and orders given to employees by operators will be thoroughly implemented and executed.
"Thin taxes enrich the people, that is, to raise national strength. Therefore, it is necessary to adhere to the custom of rent and tax, despite the disadvantages of using state affairs, and the disadvantages are not disadvantages. Looking at the past and present, when the road is unknown and the bitter wealth is insufficient, there must be vulgar officials who use songs to know the small benefits, and gather together skillfully to solve the temporary lack, just like a good minister who is good at managing money, abusing the people by means, and the people are in trouble, trying to avoid gathering and becoming cunning. Bullying each other up and down, the official name is the enemy, and will eventually fall apart. "
Reducing taxes and enriching the people is to cultivate national strength. Therefore, even if there are many state affairs and financial constraints, we must strictly abide by the tax system, and the upper class should bear the losses and not abuse the lower class. Throughout history, in a society where the truth has not been clearly implemented, when the country encounters financial difficulties, it is certain that paranoid and clever junior officials will use vicious means to collect taxes to fill the temporary financial shortage, and they also boast that they are good officials who are good at managing money. Such a small official plays tricks and cruelly abuses the people. People are at a loss, trying to avoid these inappropriate taxes. Naturally, we began to make up lies, and human nature became cunning and insidious.
The ultimate goal of being an official is to make people happy and build a highly happy country for everyone living in this society. At this time, Bhutan, known as the country with the highest global happiness index, appeared in front of us. If we want national prosperity and people's safety, we must make every effort to establish a low-cost and efficient administrative organization.
"Tao is the natural way of the street, so the way to give lectures is to respect God and love others, and to self-control and cultivate one's morality. The true meaning of self-denial lies in "Don't be me". All mortals use self-denial to succeed and overcome themselves. Looking at people all over the world, entrepreneurs spend about 78% of their time, and the rest are very successful. Guy can be cautious at first, so his achievements are obvious. However, if you don't feel that you love yourself, you will be careful, and your arrogance will gradually rise, that is, you will become a career. If you believe that you can do anything, you will be at a disadvantage and will eventually fail. You all have to recruit yourself, so you will be self-denying. "
The so-called Tao is the inherent principle of heaven and earth, so it seems more appropriate to respect heaven and love others (heaven here can be interpreted as a god, but as a "heaven"). In other words, observing heaven means respecting heaven; We are all brothers in the four seas, so for the purpose of loving others, always remember to cultivate ourselves. The real goal of self-denial is to say "meaningless, will-less, solid and egoless" (not subjective, arbitrary, stubborn, not just me). Everyone succeeds by conquering himself, and fails by indulging himself. Taking historical figures as a mirror, most people can achieve their goals well at the beginning of their careers, and only a few people can successfully complete the remaining 20% to 30%. The reason is that, first of all, we can be self-disciplined and cautious, so as to achieve success. However, after becoming famous, I unconsciously became self-loving and cautious. Afraid of nervous relaxation, getting proud, getting carried away, and having a successful career means thinking that everything is a breeze. This overconfidence will screw things up and eventually lead to failure. This is all self-inflicted. Therefore, the most important thing is to overcome yourself, even when a person is unsupervised, he can be self-disciplined and sincere. "
After success, especially after achievement, people really need a certain degree of introspection and strong willpower to maintain the realm of "nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing". Looking back on my little achievements in the process of starting a business, I look proud, as if the whole world is mine.
I remember the time when a friend said that I was "bursting with confidence". I didn't really understand this sentence, and I was even proud of it. I thought I was capable, and the pursuit of external money and fame should not be the goal, because nothing except me belongs to you. When you think you are yourself, your heart is not strong enough to bear. If you live in selfish desires all day, you will find that you are finally burned by desires and live every day. In the end, I will find that I am not really myself who pursues materialization. When I explore my heart, I always meet my true self and discover the truth.
"Love yourself is the worst. Learning is fruitless, nothing is achieved, and everything is difficult to achieve. Without thinking, you will be arrogant and live slowly, because you can't love yourself, so you can't love yourself. "
Love yourself, that is, thinking only about yourself and never caring about others, is the worst selfishness. No achievements in study, no achievements in career and no regrets are all caused by loving yourself too much, so don't do such selfish things.
"I don't care about my life, I don't want to be famous, I don't want to be an official. The rich are trapped in power, not in the same trouble, and the great cause of the country cannot be achieved. "
People who are willing to sacrifice their lives, reputations, official positions and money are difficult to deal with. However, if you don't share your worries with such a difficult big shot, it will be difficult to achieve the great cause of the country. "
As a leader, we should dare to sacrifice ourselves, have complete altruism and be willing to contribute to the world. Seeing this sentence, I remembered a sentence once said by teacher Liu Yimiao, "How many people you can lead is the dream of how many people you can carry in your heart." I very much agree with this sentence when starting a business. I also take this sentence as the goal of "achieving others". Looking back on what I have done in the past, I realize that it is easier said than done. Too often, I mean too often, I didn't do it, or what I did didn't make employees feel it, so let's say it as an effect.
In other words, leaders must stay away from selfish desires, take human justice as the standard, and establish a correct value axis in their hearts.
In addition to Saigō Takamori, there is Kubo Junichi who promoted the Meiji Restoration. They are both Kagoshima Kagoshima people, heroes of the Meiji Restoration and fellow villagers of kazuo inamori.
Because Kubo Junichi was the chief culprit in defeating Saigō Takamori in the Southwest War, he was not very popular in Kagoshima. Okubo Tong is recognized as a ruthless person, while Saigō Takamori is not good at nepotism in the mainstream society. It is not enough to rely on ambition and sincerity for success, but also on the rationality and logic of Kubo Junyi.
This combination of "two extremes" is neither smooth nor gentle. American writer F.S. said: "The so-called first-class intelligence is the ability to keep two opposing thoughts in the mind at the same time and ensure the normal operation."
If an ordinary person has two extreme thoughts at the same time, it is easy to contradict himself and cause confusion. As an excellent leader, you need to be able to distinguish and apply two different thinking concepts according to different situations while solving this contradiction.
Look back on yourself when you see this sentence. At first, I was defeated by the confusion caused by two extreme thinking concepts and had great doubts about myself. Trapped in thinking about the meaning of being alive, the two voices can't be balanced in the inner world, and some extreme situations have appeared. For example, work and life cannot be balanced, and life is like a seesaw, going up and down. However, the balance point is the highest point in the seesaw.
It turns out that I can't distinguish and digest these two concepts. The most important thing is to use them in different scenes. This sentence is very enlightening, and it is also the embodiment of one's ability to balance two different ideas without confusion.
"On the basis of respecting the basic values that a person should abide by, such as justice, fairness, courage, sincerity, modesty and love, make necessary judgments. I firmly believe that these standards are not only the most basic moral laws that a person should have, but also because I have received such education since I was a child, because I will not waver when I implement them. "
Many times we are carried away by desire, forget to abide by basic values, and even lose our principles in the face of temptation. I suspect that some people may not even have basic moral values. How terrible it is to do things without moral constraints. So getting along with such people will bring insecurity. Without foundation, there can be no development, and so can career and life.
"Ability includes personal ability and business ability as well as good health. This ability represents innate factors and cannot be changed.
Enthusiasm refers to the indomitable and persistent desire, which changes with the change of personal mentality.
Ability and enthusiasm can be measured by different values from 0 to 100. If these two values are multiplied, a person who modestly thinks that he doesn't have much ability and is willing to pay more enthusiasm than ordinary people may get more dazzling results than those who think that he has extraordinary ability and is lazy and unwilling to work hard.
Thinking mode refers to a person's mental attitude towards life and career, and the score range of this thinking mode is from negative 100 to positive 100.
Negative thoughts: thoughts and ideas such as anger, jealousy, hatred and dissatisfaction are all negative.
Positive thinking: optimistic, considerate and caring attitude and willingness are positive.
If you want to have a wonderful life, the core is the way of thinking, because whether it is positive or negative affects the final result. Looking back on the past, when I was growing up, everyone had a mindset, but how to break the negative thinking and increase the positive value still needs constant cultivation.
Ninomiya sontoku was a rural practitioner who was active in the late Edo period. By propagating moral ideas, he turned 600 almost barren and poor villages into fertile fields with plenty of food and clothing. Nishimiya Shinde is said to be a coolie who only sleeps for 2 hours a day all his life. In addition to good health, he has a wonderful mind beyond ordinary people.
Original text: "He has no strategy or strategy. His simplest belief is that the world moves with sincerity."
Nishimiya Kende firmly believes: "For myself, there is no strategy or strategy in my heart. The only firm and unshakable belief is that my sincerity and sincerity can touch the sky. "
"Sincerely, heaven and earth move" reminds me of a sentence. Is it really "hard work is powerless, hard work is touching yourself"? Sincerity is very valuable, and this kind of behavior can move heaven to help.
Original text: "Although a person's heart is insignificant, it is caused by sincerity, and the world is moved by ghosts and gods."
Ninomiya sontoku said: "After a person gives all his heart without reservation, he can not only touch ghosts and gods, but also touch the world."
The process of Kyocera managed by Mr. kazuo inamori from small to large is a process of diligence, selflessness, surpassing ordinary people and touching the world. In my opinion, compared with unproductive people, fruitful people look for reasons not in fruits, but in causes, and what seeds they plant will produce what fruits.
You must not have done it, so you won't get it. Learn from fruitful people and practice on the road of exploration, and one day spring will bloom.
Dreams will come true.
On the way to realize your dream, everyone knows that it will not be smooth sailing. Mr. kazuo inamori also went through a lot of pain. For example, he wanted to do what he thought was right, but he was caught in the fierce condemnation and slander of the world, and he was immersed in sadness and depression all day and all night, and he was in great pain.
So some people give up their dreams when they are in pain. In fact, if you persist a little longer and have a little patience, you may get the result in the end. In my opinion, there are no losers in this world, only those who think they have failed and those who give up are real losers.
When Mr. kazuo inamori was suffering, he asked the Western Shouxue Zen Master of Fu Yuan Temple for advice. Zen master thinks these are the best evidence to prove that you are alive. "The disaster you are experiencing now is to eliminate your past sins. If your past sins can be eliminated, isn't this a happy thing? "
Buddhism says "thinking about karma", and karma is the cause of karma. I remember hearing the word "karma" for the first time, and now I understand that all the fruits, everything I have experienced at present, are rooted in this "karma" Therefore, if we plant good seeds, we will bear good results in the future.
Knowing the laws of the universe, good ideas need luck.
In his book, Mr. kazuo inamori mentioned the laws of the universe, arguing that the bad idea of only caring about one's own interests will inevitably lead to the tragic fate of people who have such ideas, because it violates the laws of the universe. On the contrary, if our hearts are filled with good intentions that all things can develop, it will conform to the laws of the universe and open the door to luck for us.
If we can conform to this power and treat our work and life with a humble, honest and kind heart, success will surely come as promised.
As an operator of an enterprise, if you can't have a way of thinking and ideas for employees, shareholders, customers and enterprises based on "goodwill" and take it as the highest pleasure, you will never succeed forever!
This sentence is very instructive. If you don't really understand goodwill, you may also succeed through diligence, because the universe loves every child of it, and if you want it, you will get it through all your efforts. However, if you don't stand in good faith, what you get will be lost and won't last long. Therefore, some successes are temporary and some are lifelong. Tracing back to the source is determined by continuous "goodwill", which is also in line with the law of the operation of the universe.
Mr kazuo inamori became a monk at the age of 65 and practiced Buddhism.
The commandments of the Ten Commandments are:
First, don't kill (don't kill)
Second, don't steal (don't steal other people's property)
Third, don't be greedy or quit (don't do obscene things)
Fourth, don't lie (don't lie)
Five, don't sell wine (don't sell wine)
Six, don't say that four people are guilty (don't talk about other people's mistakes and shortcomings behind their backs)
7. Don't praise yourself or destroy others (don't praise or slander others)
Eight, don't be greedy for money (don't be greedy for material and spiritual interests, be generous to people)
Nine, don't be angry (chēn huì) quit (don't be angry and annoying for no reason)
Ten, do not slander the three treasures (do not slander the Buddha, the law, the monk)-the Buddha speaks for itself, the law is self-righteous, and the monk is pure!
Reflect on these ten commandments, "Can you keep them today?" If you don't have complete determination to become a monk, it's really hard to say the word "can you keep it" and ask yourself, which may be the difference between monks and ordinary people.
Mr. kazuo inamori believes that "the purpose of life is to purify and sublimate one's mind. In order to achieve this goal, we must first make ourselves a person who actively accumulates good deeds. "
As the Book of Changes once said, there must be Qing Yu in the house of accumulated goodness! From kindness to good deeds, we still have to look on the bright side and say the bright side.
Looking back on my practice over the years, I am also pursuing a pure road of self-cultivation. It seems that this road is the right path on earth. I need to continue to improve, and the road to self-cultivation is endless.
Contributing to the people and society around us is the realization of self-worth and a process of spiritual practice. The finish line of life is at the time of "closing the coffin", and all other moments are looking for the direction of progress. This is the way of life that the soul yearns for.
Borrow a sentence from the book as the conclusion of this reading note.
No matter in the past or in the future, Mr. kazuo inamori will do it, "Go all the way"!
