Mogic considers

Few, very few

In the company, we are expected to do things properly and in accordance with our objectives.

Having said that, if I happen to find something good, even though it's not what I'm after, I'm happy to do so.

A steady path to the goal and an unexpected encounter.

I was hoping to find a good balance between the two without being biased toward one or the other, and I found the expression I was looking for in the biochemical mechanism.

Many proteins self-assemble - fold - into an intricate three-dimensional form.

The amino acid chain is constantly bumped into by countless other molecules flying in from the surroundings.

This collision is caused by the vibration of the molecules, which we call heat.

It is also the engine that propels protein folding.

abbreviation

What I didn't mention before is that protein chains don't stop moving even after they are folded.

Its shape is held together by the chemical attraction between nearby amino acids, but it continues to wiggle and quiver as it is continually tugged by thermal vibrations.

These movements are essential to the work performed by most proteins and catalyze the chemical reactions that power all life on earth - including the thousands of enzymes that accelerate reactions.

And some of these enzymes protect the organism by tearing down and destroying antibiotics.

abbreviation

In the enzyme that cuts through the antibiotic, the folding of the enzyme leads to these movements, knocking certain amino acids to where the molecule needs to be torn apart.

The resulting collision tears the antibiotic.

It is similar to how scissors cut through paper, but the forces at work are chemical rather than mechanical, involving attraction and repulsion between atoms.

abbreviation

Like scissors with a slightly loose pivot, enzyme-induced movement can be sloppy.

It might bind the wrong amino acid to the molecule that jumped in.

Alternatively, the amino acids could be correct but bind in the wrong place.

abbreviation

For these reasons, many enzymes that accelerate one type of chemical reaction can also accelerate other reactions.

Biochemists also refer to this as a "loose" enzyme with substrate specificity.

Because it catalyzes reactions with a wide variety of molecular partners.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

When you examine the metabolism of an organism, you find that it is a very complex circuit, but in fact there are some surprisingly loose parts.

In terms of the body, it is the interlocking of multiple parts that maintains overall activity, not to mention the fact that certainty and reproducibility at the cellular level is the foundation.

But even at such a level, there is a looseness.

A very small amount of looseness creates a new protein, which replaces the DNA strand.

If so, I will make the leap that it is so.

I wondered what would happen if we could have the slightest looseness in the organization of the company.

Ideally, we can hypothesize that "very little looseness catalyzes reactions with a wide variety of members.

The problem, however, is the saltiness.

It is difficult to find the right amount of looseness.

Slight, koekoekoekoekoekoekoekoekoekoekoekoekoekoekoek.

I tried to use the word "slight" in three different ways, but I still couldn't come up with a good idea, so I decided to order some sweets that are appropriate for the beginning of autumn today.

Incidentally, I recommend the evolutionary biology books mentioned above, which have many interesting theories.

Mogic Winter: 2024

It is early, and September is only counting the rest of the month.

Next week, it will already be October and Halloween season.

We have three months left this year, less than 100 days, and if it's business days, we only have 66 days.

It was going to be a zoni scene soon if we were not careful, so we started the last spurt of our annual year-end project.

This year, unlike usual, we stopped distributing original calendars and shifted our focus to making card games, and we also stopped another New Year's greeting game application and changed course to creating a service that could be useful to someone.

It was good until we decided to do so, but as expected, it didn't work out.

The project may not have kicked off in the first place, the prototype may not be as interesting as expected, or it may already be well over the budget amount and scale.

Since this is the first time for all of them, I still don't know where the goal is, I can't see the way forward, and I can't decide what role I should play.

Even so, as time passed mercilessly, my back began to sweat, my steps began to lag, and I fell into the illusion that I was wandering aimlessly through a dimly lit forest.

Stalled, silent, frowning, looking down, looking up to the heavens.

Suddenly you feel a chill in the air and foresee freezing feet at night.

The deeper they divide, the more trapped people become.

The two major Mogic winter projects in hell have only just begun.

We have no idea how it will end.

The conclusion will surely be published somewhere, so please stay tuned.

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.

A place that is hard to talk about.

In the past, I have felt that there is a certain vagueness in the way we talk about companies, business, and work.

I wondered what is the hardest part of the story to tell.

However, hints of this can be found in unexpected places.

Let me quote a passage from a medical book that rang a bell.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Bodies Living in More Than One World: Anthropology of the Han Clinic
Tae Woo Kim (Author), Hitomi Sakai (Translator)
h ttps:// www.kashiwashobo.co.jp/book/9784760155675

I go to work in my body, eat, watch movies, and go to cafes.

It also lives with a body that is separate from itself.

Bodies communicate emotions with each other through facial expressions and conversations.

One knows such a body.

He knows the sensations that the body conveys and he knows the pain.

The system formed by this bundling of knowledge about pain is medicine.

abbreviation

No medical treatment can fully explain every condition of the body.

This is not so much a question of the limitations of a certain medical treatment, but rather of the existence of the body, which has many different backgrounds and aspects.

abbreviation

Thus, medicine is more than a system of knowledge and action for health.

Healthcare is essentially a system of "regulations.

Medicine defines what constitutes disease and what constitutes health, and at its core is a prescription for the body.

Medical care, which shows what the most basic assumption of the human body is, is also the very definition of what it means to be human.

abbreviation

An examination of the definite targets of Western medicine's attention reveals the consistent perspective that Western medicine has on the body.

abbreviation

The subject is an "independent entity.

Hence, a separation is possible between it and other things.

abbreviation

Rather than emphasizing a "fixed" or "independent subject," East Asian medicine is deeply concerned with "flow" and "situation."

There is a well-known saying in Korean medicine, "Tongli-ru non-pain 不痛則痛.

It means that if the street is good, there is no pain; if it is bad, there is pain.

If the flow is smooth, there is no disease.

It's a comfortable body, not painful.

However, if the flow is poor, health begins to waver and approaches disease.

It can be said that the diagnosis in Korean medicine is a consideration of a situation of poor flow.
Wooooooo!

Besides the familiar Western medicine, there are diverse views of medicine in the world, which are "prescribed" in their own way.

If so, it is not surprising that companies and businesses have a similar "number of regulations" with a wide variety of interpretations and actions.

Some regulations treat the people and clients who work with them as independent figures, while others look at the flow and stagnation as a whole.

Perhaps the difficulty of telling the story is the difficulty of trying to communicate across different regulations.

Of course, we are free to stand on any kind of rule, and we systematize our knowledge and actions as we like, as we feel comfortable with.

Then you realize that 20 or 30 years have passed, and that's good.

Finally, I'll borrow a bit from the previous quote and rewrite it.

"The social activity (work) accomplished by the body, the most basic assumption of the human being, is also the very definition of what it means to be human."

Its name is the "Aggressor's Club".

Market Direction, Basic Education, Innovation & Production.

There are many unfamiliar department names at Mogic.

This is not a play on names, it's just what happened when we tried to match the entity.

The director function alone was not enough to develop our own services, so we added a marketing element and created the Market Direction Division. The Basic Education Department was created because it is better to look beyond the organization for the basic skills such as team communication and individual personalities.

This is an unprecedented experiment, so not everything will go well.

Some departments were rather controversial.

One of them is the "Aggressor Department," which is exactly what it sounds like: a name for a body.

It may seem like a story, but it really did exist.

The interns and planners will take the lead as the unit that will now actively and boldly lobby the company.

Just around that time (around 10 years ago), we were becoming more organized, so let's stop the divisions from becoming a taco-bowl! Let's break down the barriers between departments! We had to break down the barriers between divisions!

True to such a mission, he often visited other departments and stirred up the place.

They open the door in the middle of a meeting and say, "Let's ask for help! and suddenly blurts out a presentation that resembles a challenge.

The enigmatic mounting phrase begins, "Listen up, boys."

That's not surprising, but everyone is stunned and amazed.

I am still wondering if there is a different way to do it, but it is a good experience, because it sometimes appears as a funny story.

A world that doesn't tell you the rules.

Live by capitalism.

In Japan, it sounds as natural as breathing.

If so, if someone were to ask you, "Please tell me the rules of capitalism and how it works," I doubt you would be able to answer easily.

I am not so confident that I can sigh for a long time.

Playing soccer, let's use an analogy.

One ball, don't use your hands, carry the ball with your feet or head, one goal for the enemy, formation like this, and so on.

It is doubtful that I can explain it well.

Even if you have been playing soccer for 10 years, whether you can win competitive tournaments is another matter.

In other words, even games with straightforward rules are difficult to explain and work through successfully.

If this is the case, how will we fare in the world of capitalism, a world where no one tells us the rules?

Non-attendance, internal examinations, examinations, gakuchika, job hunting, job satisfaction, work history, meeting people, investments, workplace, commuting, family, insurance, place, title, job change, health, entrepreneurship, caregiving, pensions.

I receive various consultations every month and week, but I don't feel that the problem derives from that (difficulty in grasping the rules of capitalism) at the end of the day.

Create a system without ceasing

At Mogic, we are constantly creating various systems throughout the year.

Recently, an intern who comes to work on Fridays has been leading a sweets scratch-off raffle project.

Why are you making such a thing? You may ask, but the distribution of imported sweets is a big deal within the company.

Don't just hand out the sweets as they arrive. You have to take the time to distribute them in a way that is funny, fair, and convincing. And we want to make the operation easy."

The students are working on such an impossible proposition, squeezing their brains together.

Five students meeting each other for the first time, from engineers to sales people from different departments, how to organize their opinions, how to appeal in their presentations, and how to interpret the feedback they received.

We were to develop the concept and implementation in the first two sessions, and then build it up to release in the remaining four visits to the office.

There are those who are anxious, those who are sure they can handle it, and those who are just doing the best they can in front of their eyes.

If we can trust each other, even if we stagger on the footholds that crumble one after another, we will surely be able to create something memorable.

Be trustworthy.

How to treat children from the youngest kindergarten class to middle school age.

I feel that the use of the word "nowadays" makes it even more difficult to deal with children, but I found a book that is very easy to understand (out of respect for the author, I will deviate from the original citation grammar), so I will quote it at some length.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The Adult Who Hates Children
By Zhu Mo Note (Author)
h ttps:// mangabito.biz/?p=17236

Some adults want to mount against children.

I think this is because the leaders and teachers want to take the initiative in subsequent instruction and classes.

But for some people, it is counterproductive.

Children will listen to those they trust without having to be mounted.

I also like people who are fun and friendly.

However, I am not interested in people telling old saga stories or bragging about how their students are such famous people.

The same thing can be said in conversations between men and women. Some people may think that "bragging about how great you are" and "stories about how bad you used to be" are great as long as they are told to the opposite sex, whom they think they like, but in general, those who listen to them are tired.

A slightly violent story, especially from the Showa or early Heisei period, should be disliked not only by the child but also by the parents who heard the story from the child.

If something goes wrong, you may be the first to be suspected, saying, "That teacher (instructor) used to talk about this kind of thing.

The attitude of "you're not ready yet" without praising a child who has learned to do a few things is also not good.

There is also a way to praise them if they do even a little and let them get better and better at it.

It would be difficult to talk negatively there and take it in the direction of artisanal thinking that would make them want to be "recognized" unless it is a "special group" or other group of specially gifted children, etc.

Because if the class gets to that level, it is likely to be a group of kids who are competitive and goal-oriented.

Be aware that unnecessary adult awareness at the beginning of that competition, instrument, or study can reduce children's interest and, in some cases, cause them to rebel.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The more I read, the more I think that it is not only the same for today's children, but also for today's corporate management.

If you try to elicit the conditioned reflex of "wanting to be recognized" by using the unattainability of grandiose goals, they will immediately see through your artifice and say, "Oh, really? They don't want to hear about the sagas and boasts of 5 or 10 years ago, which are not realistic for them.

No matter what time of year, no matter what position or form you are in, no matter what time frame you are feeling or reacting to, at the end of the day, you must be a person who can be trusted.

I believe that is universally true.
