Why is kazuo inamori worth learning?

Ma Yun visited kazuo inamori three times, and Zheng Fei did not hesitate to say, "I have read many books, and I like kazuo inamori's books. But I don't know which book influenced me, how the thoughts came into being, and the thoughts that came out of my mind. I can't find where the source is. "

Kyocera was founded at the age of 27, and KDDI was founded at the age of 52. Both companies later became the world's top 500 companies. Kyocera has become the company with the highest market value in Japan, and these two things are growing with amazing strength!

In 20 10, at the age of 78, he directly took over JAL, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, but it only took 10 months for JAL to turn losses into profits and continue to take off.

When I finished reading the pocket edition of kazuo inamori's new book Heart, the same question echoed in my mind: What is kazuo inamori's philosophy of winning in life?

Before entering the society, kazuo inamori's experience was not smooth sailing, but it was far from the experience of making many achievements afterwards. In the book Heart, he described it this way: "From my childhood, I experienced my youth until I entered the society. Everything I do is not going well. My life is a series of setbacks and disappointments: I failed the junior high school entrance examination twice in primary school, I was ill in bed with tuberculosis, I failed the senior high school entrance examination, and my post was not ideal. "

After reading this passage, I really sighed. If it were me, I'm afraid it would be difficult to stand up again. Although these experiences are very bad and not smooth, they are another kind of wealth in life!

In high school, it went very smoothly and unexpectedly, which made kazuo inamori, who was very young, taste the sweetness of success. Looking back on this matter many years later, he realized a profound truth!

The story remains the same. Kazuo Inamori's family has been living in the printing industry since World War II. At the end of the war, the old house and factory at home were also destroyed by air strikes. My father, who had been working hard, suddenly lost his dependence, and my mother was forced to sell her clothes to support her family.

How did kazuo inamori, who was still in high school at that time, know the hardships of life? After school, he only plays with his classmates. Once, my mother suddenly couldn't stand it. She got angry with him and told him that the family was hard and she couldn't just concentrate on having fun like other children. Seeing her mother's disappointment with herself immediately aroused kazuo inamori's sense of mission of "helping and protecting her family".

Because his family used to run a printing workshop, thinking that his father had done it when he was a child, kazuo inamori suddenly had a plan to make and sell paper bags.

So my father and I discussed this plan. My father made semi-finished bamboo baskets and hired neighbors and aunts to help with the processing. Finally, kazuo inamori himself peddled them on the street during the school holiday.

Finally, the business developed very smoothly and soon expanded the sales field. Kazuo inamori never thought that he could start a business even if he had a completely unprofessional high school student. This is really a success!

During that time, many things went wrong, except that the paper bag dealer was particularly beautiful, which made kazuo inamori, who was very young, always puzzled.

Many years later, he reviewed the situation at that time, thought about the reasons why this business could be made, and suddenly realized a truth. In the book "Heart", the author describes it like this:

"Everything else is almost for yourself: satisfying your own desires and protecting yourself. Or hope to get compliments from others. On the contrary, only paper bag merchants are witnessing helping and guarding their families, which is an act of "caring for others". In other words, it contains "goodwill".

I am deeply impressed by such a sentence in the book "Heart": "If the motivation is good, things will naturally develop in a good direction; If the motive is selfish or evil, then no matter how hard you try, things can't go smoothly. "

At present, there are not a few people who participate in venture capital. They seek temporary profiteering or hope to gain wealth and fame through opportunism. However, if an enterprise only focuses on pursuing self-interest, utility and reputation, even if it succeeds for a while, it will not develop for a long time. If you are a man, you should have correct values and never move evil thoughts.

Going home to visit relatives this year, I was really chilling to hear some things told by my elders. Probably a distant relative has a son, who is ignorant all day, some of whom are addicted to gambling, and later become a family and do not work hard.

After a few years of good life, his wife couldn't stand quarreling and scolding all day and left directly. Later, his mother found out the middle and late stage of breast cancer, and finally got together 65438+ million with relatives and friends to prepare for the operation. However, he still refused to repent and borrowed money to gamble. Later, I directly gambled the life-saving money of 654.38+ 10,000 at home. I asked my elders why he did this, and their answer turned out to be that he wanted to win back some money with his last bet ... I was dumbfounded at once.

I remember my mother always taught me to be a person with conscience, integrity and no desire. No matter how it develops in the future, you can't do anything that hurts others in your dealings with others. No matter how good other people's things are, don't be red-eyed. Let yourself live better than anything with your own hands.

Although my mother's education level is not high, these words have been deeply affecting me. Perhaps this is the bud of goodwill, kindness, consideration for others and doing good deeds.

It's pitiful to think of that distant relative. If his son can get rid of the evil motives in his heart as soon as possible, maybe all this will turn around.

When it comes to goodwill, I associate it with altruism.

In the early days, when kazuo inamori founded Kyocera Company, his business motive was only to develop personal technology. Later, the employees collectively handed in a strongly worded "demand book"-expressing their demands for future protection such as salary increase and bonus amount. This incident reminded kazuo inamori of his parents' excessive demands to send him to college regardless of his poor family. Later, he took the initiative to do ideological work with employees, and then changed the company's mission to: pursue the material and spiritual happiness of all employees. Kyocera, which developed rapidly later, was built on this basis.

The original meaning of the word altruism is actually very simple. "Benefiting others" means putting others before others and putting "for yourself" after "for others". If you have a family, think about things that can make your family happy; If you are at work, you will do what you can for your colleagues in the workplace.

Altruism is a simple matter, and it is also an act of treating others sincerely. As long as it is beneficial to others, regardless of the size of the matter, it lies in the altruistic heart born in altruistic behavior.

Altruistic heart is like a Bai Lianhua, which emerges from the mud without being defiled, making itself full of fragrance and making others feel fragrant. From this, it also extends to the noblest and most beautiful behavior of people.

3. 1 Don't associate with people with ulterior motives.

The law of "the heart does not call for things, and things do not arrive" is of great reference significance.

If you really have ulterior motives, most people who cheat others have the same heart. If you don't have evil thoughts, you can't provoke those people with malicious intentions.

Remember, if we hone our soul seriously, when your heart becomes clear and beautiful, the hearts of people around us will also become beautiful.

3.2 Make good use of the true self

It is often said that in the human mind, there are two competing true selves and self, just like twin brothers, namely "altruistic heart" and "selfish heart".

There is also a wonderful true self in the depths of our souls, that is, compared with ourselves, the "altruism" of caring for others and thinking for others can be called "egoism".

Mr. kazuo inamori summed up a life rule for us with his own personal experience, that is, "make good use of", that is, use one's abilities on the basis of "altruism".

3.3 Always have love.

It is also mentioned that the guarantee of harmony for enterprises is to pursue the happiness of employees first, and then slowly expand.

The foundation of caring is altruism, and the foundation of altruism is harmonious and sustainable development.

3.4 More satisfaction, less desire

Desire is a bottomless pit, as the saying goes: contentment is always happy, telling us that people who know satisfaction are always happy.

People yearn for happiness after all, don't you think?

More than 500 years ago, China had "Yangming's Mind"; More than 400 years ago, Japan had the "Shimen Heart Sutra". Although Mr. kazuo inamori is an entrepreneur with a scientist background, the problems he devoted his life to exploring are also his inner problems.

In enterprise management, he put forward the slogan of "improving mind and expanding management" and implemented the policy of "taking heart as the foundation". That's what kazuo inamori did when he took over JAL, which was on the verge of bankruptcy!

What is kazuo inamori's philosophy of winning in life? I think it is inseparable from the truth of life he learned from the "paper bag merchant": the best motivation and altruism!

The great ship of the times rumbles by, the fast-developing society and the fast-paced lifestyle make people think about the past in the middle of the night and always feel empty.

The book Heart tells you that everything in life begins with the heart and ends with the heart. It always reminds people not to take gains and losses as the benchmark of all judgments and actions, but to take right and wrong, good and evil as the starting point of everything!

"Heart: kazuo inamori's Life Entrustment" also expounds how to implement the right path, how to build the foundation of life, and how to become a qualified "leader". If your heart needs to be placed, it is better to purify it from this book!
