Putting the Future in Review

Various teams ask me to review what the interns have created.

When called into the conference room, they give a quick presentation and then ask, "What do you think? It is a common practice to ask, "What do you think?

The first one or two pictures I see give me an idea of what I need to feed back, so from there I imagine a future where they will walk away from this for the rest of the time.

An example would be.

You feel like you're on your own, and you're relieved. I realize that the shadow of my career and purpose in life will follow me everywhere.

It is very important to do the work that you are asked to do, and to do it well.

On top of that, I would like you to include one of your own specialties.

Persistence is something that can only come from a person's character and the way he or she has lived.

Even if no one notices and someone belittles you, keep the particulars in.

The spirit of persistence will accumulate and eventually become the foundation of life.

By the pond where ducks relax

Come to think of it, I have been on my own ever since I started my business.

They also tell me that I am laid back.

It was not associated with the idioms of rapid growth on the right, exponential parabolas, and scaling up by orders of magnitude.

If we can have a good time talking about trivial things, eating delicious sweets, and doing something we can believe in, that's enough.

Come to think of it, the old faces are still the same and you can just hear them laughing.

Maybe it will never change.

If you are looking for rapid growth, there are many companies that are willing to go for it.

If you have a brilliant career, there are many workplaces where you can make it happen.

Speaking of Mogic, we are looking for people who want to live in a relaxed atmosphere by the pond where ducks are at home.

Integrity: Integrity

Work with integrity.

If we were to assign this to English, the word integrity seems appropriate.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
h ttps:// ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%83%86%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AA%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3

Integrity (English: Integrity; Chinese: 誠信) refers to behavior that consistently and uncompromisingly adheres to high moral and ethical principles and values, along with the practice of honesty.

abbreviation

The English word integrity is derived from the Latin adjective Integer, meaning "whole or complete,

integer (feminine integra, neuter integrum)

1. whole, complete, intact
2. safe, all right, soundness
3. as a derivative of the English word "Integer
3. as a derivative, means "integer" in English.

In this context, integrity would mean "wholeness" derived from inner qualities such as integrity and consistency. Therefore, when we ask whether a person has integrity, we can say that he or she has integrity only if he or she acts in accordance with the values, beliefs, and principles that he or she purports to hold. Simply saying that one has high morals, values, and beliefs does not mean that one has integrity.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

To sum it up in one word: overall health.

It is an expression that is hard to get to grips with.

So, if a good excerpt from the text is "do things consistently, uncompromisingly, and with conviction, and be recognized by those around you," then this is definitely an indispensable guideline for teamwork.

Momo Hajimete Wara

As the fragrance of plum blossoms wafts in the air and cherry buds swell, peach blossoms begin to bloom.

After eating mochi (rice cakes), scattering beans, and eating hina arare, the graduation season has already passed.

Not good, this feeling.

This year is going to fly by.

So impatiently, I began to think about the remaining seasonal events.

As usual, I need to expand the concept of the work to be created on the rooftop after GW.

In order to make it in time for Halloween, we must first order the pumpkin seeds.

Why don't you stop producing calendars and developing New Year's Day apps next year and try something completely new?

Some can be stacked like annual rings, others like toes on the edge of a cliff.

We just have to make sure that we start from the footsteps we take so that one day everyone can laugh and have fun.

stall the production of a new product for the first time.

It is said that you only live once.

If it is only once, it will always be a bumpy ride.

This is because we cannot experience in advance what is about to happen, and no matter how similar we make the situation, in the end it is a practice, not a real event.

If so, we think.

I wondered what kind of results would be most likely if we could only go for a bang-up performance.

The equation is roughly expressed as follows.

Result of a spur-of-the-moment performance = reasonable success + a little failure

If you are suddenly on stage, failure is inevitable.

Still, I dare you to substitute "as much as possible, without fail".

Result of the actual performance = All successes + Zero failures

and so it is almost impossible to be empirical.

Therefore, I believe that what we should think about under the assumption that we are going to do a rehearsal is not to avoid failure, but rather the gradation of the failure itself.

If it is a section of failure that cannot be erased, address the question of how to handle its breadth.

I'll plug one other famous story here.

When asked how they feel when a glass of water is half full, they have the choice of thinking it is only half full or half full.

It is a categorical solution that I can handle.

If we apply this well, we can stretch the way we view failure.

Like, have I failed this badly, have I not failed that badly yet, was it a fatal failure that cannot be undone, or is it a failure from which some recovery can be made?

In other words, as long as one can freely move one's point of view, failure can spread like ink spilled on water.

If you can believe that this is possible, then you may be able to take on the challenge with a little less enthusiasm.

Biggest failure is growing up.

When I start a business and am involved in management, I am often asked, "What mistakes have you made in your career?" I am often asked.

Of course, there is no shortage of stories of failure, so it's a very long story.

It's all trial and error, and there are so many new things to do.

However, it would be bad if it were too many examples, so I am giving you an analysis I have compiled myself in the past, focusing on major failures.

As a result, though, we may be converging on findings we've heard somewhere else.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The big failure," he said, "was due to the fact that a few years ago.

Failure cannot grow up to be a big failure until several years have passed.

So what was the cause a few years ago?

It is usually a quick and casual decision made when sales have increased significantly, the number of users has grown, or the reputation of the company has improved.

When you are in a good mood, everyone's spirits are high, and without knowing it, judgment can become lax.

The atmosphere is that it will go up more, that it seems to be able to recover even if it fails, and that it is a dream come true.

When that happens, you want to invest with a bang and put your stamp with a bang.

Because the entire company is collectively optimistic, checks do not work and small risks accumulate.

Of course, those that were unchecked are likely to become probable bad debts at some point.

If the wind direction changes, even more so.

To begin with, what is a non-performing loan?

It refers to a situation in which the cost-effectiveness of the investment is far below what was envisioned at the time of the investment, and the company is stuck with it for a little while or not at all.

For a while, you are dizzy with the weight of the amount of money, time, and effort you have invested, and you reflexively turn away, telling yourself that this is within your expectations, and eventually, when circumstances become imminent, you have no choice but to accept it.

Oh, I must have made a big mistake.

So the most damaging failures are those that occur when you're in good shape.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Similar things happen not only to companies but also to individuals.

As you may have already guessed, this is also a reminder to myself that I tend to pursue only the fun stuff.

Carefully scrutinize, check from multiple angles, and gather opinions from different perspectives.

These phrases are simple, time-consuming, and may sound like they are ringing in your ears, but I believe that these thinly veiled messages are rich in the nourishment that keeps us going through our mundane daily lives.

The story of the filial piety trap

In many cases, Mogic workers have relatives far away and may one day care for someone from a distance.

If so, I am thinking about what the company should do in anticipation of such a situation.

First, I will quote from a book that gives a clear picture of the realities of long-distance caregiving.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
A Happy Shape of Long-distance Nursing Care
Rie Shibata (Author)
h ttps:// www.sun.s-book.net/slib/slib_detail?isbn=9784396618155

Shibata: (I am currently living in Tokyo.) I am an only child, and my mother lived alone at home in Toyama after my father died.

So when my mother fell ill and needed care, I initially considered taking her in.

But I stopped.

I knew I would be rejected.

abbreviation

It sounds good to say long-distance caregiving, but it sounds like a tease, or like I am making excuses for not being able to properly care for my parents because I am leaving everything to someone else.

abbreviation

Just then, I was working with Mr. Kawauchi on TV, and he told me, "You know, I've been working with you for a long time, and I'm not sure if I can do it.

He said, "It's not easy for parents and children who have been living apart from each other to suddenly move in together just because their parents need nursing care.

abbreviation

Kawauchi: To begin with, if you live apart from your parents, you cannot go back to your parents' house that often.

Transportation costs are also very difficult, so many people probably only return once or twice a year, during the Obon or New Year's holidays.

When such people jump over the moderate distance they have felt between themselves and their parents and suddenly take them into a close relationship, or home, just because their parents need care, they often become frustrated with each other, and the parent-child relationship often collapses between parent and child, despite the children's best intentions.

It's called the "filial piety trap."
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Well, I am reminded that it is called a filial piety trap.

It should be the best thing to care about others and do what is best for you.

But the story is that it has unwanted consequences for both parties.

I think it is like an old saying I heard somewhere, and I also feel that the ideal situation is to have someone listen to you during difficult times, and to be able to help casually with the people you work with.

Household accounts and income statement, own accounts

Like household accounts at home, companies often use profit-and-loss statements.

In layman's terms, this means looking at monthly income and expenses to see if there is a surplus or deficit.

In a household budget, the familiar items to classify are income, housing, utilities, communication, insurance, transportation, automobile, education, and entertainment expenses, while in an income statement, sales, salaries, advertising, sales promotion, rent, utilities, supplies, entertainment, travel and transportation, and depreciation are familiar.

The general framework is similar, but the difference is that the balance of subjects varies greatly depending on the size of the company and the type of business.

A nuclear family of three rarely becomes a large family of ten, but in a company, three people can become 20, or start a different business, or have a big increase in sales, or buy large equipment, and so on.

In light of this, we are allowed to create our own unique subjects in the income statement to make it easier to grasp.

For transportation, there will be more vehicle accounts, for wholesale, more purchase accounts, and for Mogic, the web server group, license service related, computers and chairs, etc. are subdivided.

Then, once or twice a year, we review the subjects to be recorded and add new ones.

You may think it sounds like a lot of work, but it is rather interesting because you will make unexpected discoveries in the process.
