It means that egoism drives us to survive, but we can't be selfish without altruism. We must learn to share, so that we can last forever.
This sentence comes from kazuo inamori's "kazuo inamori's Management Philosophy", and kazuo inamori also sets an example, which makes people see the wisdom that "self-interest leads to lifelong, while altruism leads to long-term".
"Self-interest begets life, while altruism endures" has always been the most profound sentence in kazuo inamori's memory. Kazuo inamori wants to remind himself all the time that a man must not be selfish, and he must have a broad mind and a self-sacrificing mind in order to gain the respect of others.
It is often said that business strategy is the most important and business tactics are indispensable. However, kazuo inamori asserted: "There is no better management trick in the world than hard work." When he was young, he put forward "six industriousness". In his view, "six diligence" is the most basic condition for doing a good job in enterprise management and for living a good life.
If people can continue to practice these "six major improvements" day after day, life will be even better, and the degree of beauty is even beyond our own ability and imagination. Kazuo inamori said, "This is my own life."
