The title of this drifting article is "What kind of father is a Taoist: My mother's teaching changed my life", which can be regarded as a masterpiece of family education.
There is a sentence that is very suitable for this book. The student's earliest teacher is his mother.
Kazuo inamori was born in a lively family of nine. His father, Mr. Zhai, always follows the rules and has no flexibility, but his mother is a cheerful and approachable person. Kazuo inamori, the second son of his family, grew up savagely in an environment lacking safety education. He can cry for three hours because of a little thing since he was a child, while his mother takes a cold attitude. This is the same as our attitude towards Xiong Haizi now. The mothers of several children in the family have never liked anyone too much, but they are all wrapped in deep maternal love. Even if I can't always be around, I often worry. I just entered primary school and don't want to go to school. I fell in love with a school with many A's and was influenced by militarism. I learned how to play the role of a team leader bit by bit through games. 1945 After Japan surrendered in August, my father dared not invest in industry and put his money in the bank. As a result, coins have become waste paper due to hyperinflation. From then on, my mother made a living by selling salt and kimono. At the awkward critical moment after the war, my mother resolutely stepped forward and led her family out of the predicament with her own strength. In kazuo inamori's view, it is a heart that deeply loves her family that urges her to work hard. In such a difficult situation, kazuo inamori decided to go to high school despite his father's opposition. In high school, he went crazy with his friends. He came into contact with baseball and forgot to sell land to raise tuition. After his studies were neglected, his mother earnestly advised him to stop playing baseball and recognize his family form. Without criticizing him and asking him to help his family more, kazuo inamori felt guilty and realized what he should do to help his family. So she suggested that her father start making paper bags again, and he went to the market to sell them himself. In the process of selling paper bags, she learned the law of circulation, wholesale small profits but quick turnover. Life is like this. You never know what awaits you.
Father and mother are two diametrically opposed people, one is taciturn and has a strong sense of justice, the other is bright and clear, and kazuo inamori has inherited their respective advantages. Influenced by his father's non-lending, kazuo inamori tried not to be in debt when running Kyocera. Influenced by his father's minimalism, he only bought the quantity he needed at that time and reduced unnecessary expenses. She inherited the Bushido spirit and business mind from her mother. It is the influence of these two people that primary schools resist the unfairness of teachers. But this kind of thing has been recognized by his father. He thinks that the so-called man must stick to what he thinks is right. The right thing must be recognized, which is the affirmation given by my father.
When kazuo inamori was first operating, it insisted on "adhering to the correct rules of life". The so-called law of being a man is actually a firm moral and ethical consciousness. When I was alone, I was cautious because my mother taught the Buddha to observe from time to time. Be awed by what you can't see and grateful for everything. Kazuo inamori came into contact with the truth of life after failing in the exam and suffering from lung disease. He wrote in his book that everything he never called for in his heart will not happen to you. If he is always kind to people, it will not happen to him. This led to kazuo inamori's introspection, and at the same time, he learned to decide his real situation with his mentality. With the change of inner appearance, his "tuberculosis" has also improved. If you advance with a strong desire, it will come true one day. Six years later, his mother also suffered from this disease. kazuo inamori told him the truth of life, which changed his mother's mentality and made him better.
There is a saying in "Four Disciplines" that "if you have a good family, you must have it". Through Yuan's story, kazuo inamori knows that if people have good thoughts and do good deeds everywhere in their lives, their fate will develop in a good direction. After kazuo inamori came into contact with this book, he insisted on "keeping good thoughts and doing good deeds" to spend his life. The so-called life is practice. All people are selfish and altruistic, just like Tai Chi keeps balance. If one party is out of balance, it will affect people's character and personality. At the age of 82, kazuo inamori's mother died. In fact, he was away on business that day and didn't have time to die for her, but he always missed his mother's miso soup and dried fish.
In 2004, kazuo inamori founded the Yamatoya in Kyoto. It's a child welfare kindergarten. For those children who are burdened with pain, kazuo inamori decided to build an open and bright welfare home after visiting the welfare home near Kyoto. All kinds of children learn to endure, help and accommodate each other when they live together. For the ideal of "helping children to protect children", the staff also worked hard. In fact, on the other hand, it also opened a channel for staff to pay, and also practiced his concept of "doing good deeds".
Through decades of teaching by his mother, kazuo inamori believed that children should be taught the following points: "First, wishes can be realized. Because desire is more powerful than anything else. The second is to live with an altruistic heart. Always keep the attitude and behavior of helping others. The third is to strengthen your heart and form an excellent personality. " If you want to turn your wish into reality, you must work harder than anyone else. It's not enough to have a little taste. No matter how many difficulties you face, you will never compromise. You will always persevere and make unremitting efforts towards the established goals to achieve unprecedented development and breakthrough. When I founded Kyocera and took over JAL, I asked myself, "All the motives are good, and I have no selfishness." I succeeded with my own beliefs and efforts.
As a successful person, I just recalled my mother at the end of the year and deeply felt her influence on myself, thus extending this mentality to my wife and thanking them. This is a good attitude. The sublimation of this mentality is actually an recognition of the mother's maternal love. When we think of being alone again, Buddha is watching you. It's not a Buddha, it's your mother's eyes.
