If a book touches me and shakes me, I will have the desire to turn it into my own, and summing up after reading is the best way. The book "Dry Method" has a powerful force that shocked me. There are not many flowery words in this book, and the words are ordinary and ordinary, but the ideological value contained in the words still has the power of a hammer, which directly hits people's hearts! These thoughts are the reason for kazuo inamori's success. They are very simple. What they advocate is nothing more than loving work, being brave in taking responsibility for work, getting happiness from work, and being able to challenge goals through continuous efforts.
How to look at work is the root of the difference between winners and losers. In kazuo inamori's thoughts, the attitude towards work is almost "clumsy", "stupid" and "harsh", that is, people who are not opportunistic and devote themselves to work all the time, starting from solving small problems and accomplishing small goals, and gradually grow into talents who can solve big problems and big goals. "If you don't accumulate steps, there will be no miles; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. " This is kazuo inamori's thought and his action.
0 1 Work and Happiness
Kazuo inamori thinks that work is the source of happiness, and I believe this kind of thinking chicken soup is too heavy for some people who show hatred at the thought of work. Indeed, many people have the idea that if they don't have to work, who will choose to work? The reality is that most people who have this idea often lead unhappy, painful and confused lives. The reason why you choose to work is not only because it can bring material rewards, but if you regard work as a kind of life practice, people will get spiritual training, spiritual improvement and even enlightenment from work!
Practice is a big topic. Of course, I don't have the ability to carry it out, but we all know the fact that the craftsman spirit is extremely popular in Japan, and the craftsman spirit is nothing more than making works "extremely specialized". This is why there are more than 20,000 century-old enterprises in Japan! Japan's craftsman spirit of pursuing perfection in everything stems from the six-ancestor Zen introduced from the Tang Dynasty, which is the product of the combination of work and Zen by the Japanese. The meditation of Huizu, the sixth ancestor, is a kind of practice after China's entry into WTO. Even ordinary people can devote themselves wholeheartedly to everything they do, and their hearts are United and learn from it. Getting spiritual sublimation and perfection from work and enlightenment from life is the "Tao" of ordinary people, and that is the proper realm of happiness. Kazuo inamori spoke highly of the importance of work in the "dry method". Whether you like it or not, you should focus on your current job first, concentrate on it and concentrate on it to the extreme. When you finish one small job after another and challenge one small goal after another, your mind will gradually improve!
It is difficult for ordinary people to understand what "Tao" means, and it is difficult to describe what a happy state is. I don't know why this state occurs when I work to the extreme, but I believe many people will experience "flow" in their daily lives and work. Mihaly Chikszentmihalyi Lai, a positive psychologist, mentioned the concept of "flow" in his book "Experience Psychology of Flow", which is a state of inner peace and tranquility. The steps he proposed to obtain traffic are almost exactly the same as kazuo inamori's work thoughts, such as putting forward higher challenge goals, concentrating on investment, and continuing challenges. And put forward that flow can be obtained in many aspects of life and work. From this perspective, kazuo inamori thinks that work is the source of happiness, because from work, you can get the experience of flow. Work takes up most of a person's life in a day, and the masses just regard work as a tool to support their families and even kill time, which is not regrettable!
Focus on the present and devote yourself wholeheartedly, and people will ignore the sense of time and space, and all bad emotions will disappear. Eckhart Toler, a famous spiritual teacher, mentioned in his book "Cultivating the Power of the Present" that extreme emotions, such as pain, anger, complaint and fear, come from the mind's recognition of past and future identities and grow through the unconscious space, so we should always be in the present, that is, always keep our awareness of the present. When we can be content with the present, when consciousness can be connected with the inner noumenon, all forms and minds (selves) will cease to exist, and the state of peace will exist forever. Eckhart Toler's practice method is to focus on the present, not to resist the present and let the unconscious space spread. Focusing on your work and doing every little thing well is spiritual cultivation, from which you have the opportunity to surpass yourself and become an enlightened person.
This is the real importance of work, not only to get material rewards, but also to improve the mind and mind. If we don't realize this, many people will get lost in work, complain about work and everything related to it, become losers in life, and spend their lives in such a daze. However, some people, after gaining a certain wealth, began to indulge in drinking and having fun, stopped concentrating on their work and were keen on labor, and their lives ended in failure.
02 will
Kazuo inamori mentioned in his book that people's "thoughts and wishes" contain the power to achieve their careers. In particular, if this "thought and wish" is noble, beautiful, pure and consistent, then it will exert its greatest strength to achieve plans and goals that people think are impossible.
I call this power of "thought and desire" will. The stronger a person's will, the more powerful he is, attracting what he wants and getting closer to the goal of success. From the explanation of group psychology, this makes perfect sense. When the leader of an organization has great will, his emotions will infect everyone around him and let them work together. Therefore, willingness is one of the most important leadership of organizational leaders.
However, the basis of will must be noble and pure. When kazuo inamori was determined to create electricity, he used the phrase "perfect motivation, no selfishness" to strictly force himself. I want to create the 22nd electricity. Is this to "make yourself a bigger rich man"? Is it to "make yourself more famous"? Is this desire based on self-interest? Or from "for society, for the world", that is, from the conscience of conscience, without selfishness? For several months in a row, he compared the words "perfect motivation, no selfishness", and after confirming that he was "no selfishness", he decided to embark on the road of entrepreneurship.
Wang Yangming, a great philosopher, strategist, politician and writer in China in the Ming Dynasty, regarded the unity of conscience and knowing and doing as the core idea of his psychology, in which knowing and doing are two sides, and knowing must be done. Many people don't think so, because knowing does not necessarily mean doing it. For example, as we all know, the way to lose weight is to consume fewer calories than you do. Since everyone knows, why do weight loss actions often fail? Because the desire to lose weight, that is, your desire is not pure enough and noble enough, it is not strong enough. There is a movie "Slimming Men and Women", in which the heroine starring Sammi Cheng is a big fat man who gives up on himself. Later, in order to meet the person she once loved, she worked hard and finally lost weight. Only with a strong desire can we integrate knowledge and practice, overcome all difficulties and achieve success.
Will is so powerful that it can not only distort the force field and attract success factors, but also ensure action and overcome difficulties. Kazuo inamori mentioned that whether he founded Kyoto Ceramics or the Second Power Company, he had a pure, beautiful and strong desire and made no less efforts than anyone else. Then, any difficult goal will be achieved-this is the "truth" proved by the history of the growth and development of Kyoto Ceramics and the Second Power Company.
03 "stupid" philosophy
In 20 18, the domestic market was bleak, and news of company closures and layoffs emerged one after another. Note that most of these companies enjoy the industry and the Internet industry. These dazzling star companies, which were created by capital stars holding the moon, didn't even have warm autumn trousers in the cruel capital winter environment, and they died when they were cold. On the contrary, those enterprises that have developed slowly by relying on their technical strength have built a moat that is not easy to dry up by relying on their core competitiveness and can survive in the economic winter. These enterprises, conceptually, can practice the "stupid" business philosophy, do not advance rashly, step by step, lay a solid foundation of strength, and build a castle that can stand in the wind and rain.
"Stupid" means you can't be opportunistic. You treat every detail with an almost "stupid and straightforward" mentality. Only in this way can technology accumulate slowly, products can be made perfect, and customers can favor the company's products. I have been engaged in production management at the grass-roots level in a manufacturing enterprise for many years. I especially trust those honest grass-roots employees, not because of their outstanding ability, but because they can be particularly awed by product quality and are willing to do every detail in a down-to-earth manner. On the contrary, those who look generous, but do things carelessly, have many products. It is a pity that managers of enterprises often regard those honest grass-roots employees as rabbits who are easy to bully, while those employees who can pull gangs have become excellent people.
Kazuo inamori tried to develop a "water-cooled composite water pipe". After all kinds of methods failed, he lay down near the stove at a suitable temperature, carefully held the water pipe to his chest, and slowly turned the water pipe all night to dry it in this way to prevent the water pipe from being deformed. Of course, in the eyes of others, this is simple and incredible, perhaps, very "stupid." But it is this stupid way of treating products that kazuo inamori has developed the perfect products. This "stupidity" is worth learning.
Zeng Guofan, who once held a high position in China during the Qing Dynasty, began to take part in the imperial examinations, and only got half a scholar after five times. I began to learn to be a "saint" at the age of 30. He thought he was stupid, so he worked hard at his homework and emphasized "diligence" and "constancy". In his later years, he reached the realm of "being sage inside and king outside". As we all know, his war strategy of "one move for all" is: hard camp and fight a dull battle! The Taiping Army was helpless, and finally Zeng Guofan wiped out the chaotic party in one fell swoop and became a hero in troubled times.
The "stupid" philosophy holds that there is no shortcut to anything, or that strength is the best shortcut. You may gain temporary political achievements by profiteering, but under the big waves, aren't these people who have no strength streaking?
04 "good" leadership
I saw a Weibo V's speech in Weibo yesterday. He said that he no longer needed to buy a house. Next, it depends on which company has not bought a house; I also saw the goal of 20 19 listed by another small and medium-sized enterprise boss, striving to make the average annual income of employees reach 1 10,000. I can't help feeling that I can follow such a leader and have nothing else to ask for. It is undeniable that many managers rely on the power of law to manage employees in their posts, such as the power of punishment and the power of reward, so as to require employees to complete their duties. However, this management method can't satisfy employees. What really convinces employees is a kind of "good" leadership, which is the charm of managers. If the manager's goal is to start from the company and employees, he can convince others to let employees gather sand and serve the company wholeheartedly.
Kazuo inamori practiced the philosophy of "making contributions to society and the world is the noblest behavior of human beings". Shortly after DDI started its business, kazuo inamori provided ordinary employees with the opportunity to buy shares and repay their hard work through capital gains. At the same time, he also expressed his gratitude to the employees, but in fact he didn't even have his own share. In the process of participating in the reconstruction of JAL, kazuo inamori didn't get any salary. Although he is old, he still devoted himself to the reconstruction work, which also had a tangible and intangible impact on the employees.
This selfless thought to employees greatly aroused their enthusiasm, and it was kazuo inamori's "good" leadership that saved JAL. At the beginning of the establishment of No.22 Power Station, kazuo inamori used "perfect motives and no selfishness" to test his behavior. After confirming that there was no selfishness, he devoted himself to creation.
Many people will regard power as a leader and Machiavellian as a necessary means of management, which is really a big misunderstanding. When a company's leading group is keen on political power, it will inevitably lead to the company's intrigue, the prevalence of evil will cause great internal friction of the company, and foreign troubles and internal troubles will inevitably go to extinction. On the other hand, when the founder of the company has "good" character and behavior, it will inevitably make employees sincerely follow, and internal unity will form great strength.
The above is a small part of my feelings when I read the book "Dry Method". I lack kazuo inamori's thought, especially my writing level is average, I can't express my feelings, and I am more afraid of distorting my views. Even so, in view of the great influence of reading this book on my work and life, I still have more than I can chew and write down these rough feelings for further improvement in the future.
