Ichiju Hyakkei, Renewed Bulletin

I picked up two in the four-character phrase series.

First, from Ichiju Hyakkari, originally from

"The plan of a year is not like the plan of a grain tree. The plan for a lifetime is not as if a man were a tree. A tree that produces one crop is a grain. One tree with ten crops is a tree. A tree that produces a hundred crops is a man.

The sentence, "It is important to nurture people in the long run, not just for immediate profit," can be translated as "It is important to nurture people in the long run, not just for immediate profit.

Then, I don't know the origin of the new era, but when I pulled up a dictionary, I found an example of the Japanese origin of Kotaro Takamura and beauty, with Prince Shotoku.

"The national policy was settled, the national fortunes grew, and a new era of culture was heralded."

The sentence "The old is over, and a whole new year is beginning.

My intuition is that the reason I picked up on these two, though abruptly, is that they are appropriate to show the current foothold.

In other words, I think we need to change our sense of how we perceive the times at this time in a big way.

As one example, if you look at Japan's demographics, we are talking about a record 840,000 fewer people in 2023.

The decline consisted of 758,631 births and 1,590,503 deaths.

The fact that in just one year the city has lost its ordinance-designated city level population.

If this were to accumulate every year, a simple calculation shows a decrease of 8.4 million people in 10 years.

What does a future with 8.4 million fewer people look like?

From the past perspective, it will be seen as "an era in which everything is unimpeded and something is always missing," and from the perspective of 10 years from now, I wonder if it will be "an era in which we create different value from what we have at hand.

If we are to promote this idea, it is important to go back to the beginning.

To use a company analogy, think about how you can grow together with the people who come for interviews rather than lamenting that you can't hire good people.

If you are pessimistic about the lack of manpower, think about systematizing, structuring, and discarding in order to value the people you have.

Above all, I would like to think carefully about how to create an organization that questions the conventional wisdom and creates new value.
