Kazuo inamori's Why People Live 1 Introduction:
Why do people live/why don't people live?
We knew nothing when we died. People who love us, people we love, parents, brothers and sisters, family, friendship and love are all hard for us to give up. Life is worse than death. It is a difficult problem and challenge for everyone in our world to live better just because of what. I believe that in the near future, you will feel what you live for and the right choice to live.
"Why People Live" is the summary and essence of kazuo inamori, one of the "Four Saints of Management" and the founder of Kyocera Group. This book consists of three parts and twenty-one chapters.

Why People Live is a spiritual reading for every entrepreneur in China, and it is also an entrepreneur's life and business guide. It is also an inspirational reading for every young person and an excellent teaching material for young people to hone themselves and constantly improve themselves.
foreword
From personal value to entrepreneurship.
Zhang Peng, executive editor of IT Manager World magazine.
My initial understanding of Mr. kazuo inamori originated from the Japanese business community's statement of "managing the four saints". Kōnosuke Matsushita of Panasonic, Akio Morita of Sony, Koichiro Honda of Honda and kazuo inamori of Kyocera Group are recognized as the four most outstanding Japanese entrepreneurs after the war, and kazuo inamori is the only one among them who is still alive.
Mr kazuo inamori is not only a successful entrepreneur, but also a very famous Japanese enterprise thinker. His business philosophy of "respecting heaven and loving people" has absorbed the nutrition of Buddhist culture and has far-reaching influence in Japanese economic and commercial theory circles.
To tell the truth, in my early years, because I didn't know Mr. kazuo inamori's thoughts deeply, it was difficult for me to feel shocked and rewarded in the words of "respecting heaven and loving the people". I always feel that it is nothing more than the familiar slogans of "doing things according to objective laws" and "taking customers as the center".

Book catalogue:
The first part is in harmony with the will of the universe.
Chapter I The Value of Human Existence and Survival
No matter how small the matter is, if there is no reason for its existence, then the earth and even the universe cannot be formed at all. In other words, the word "existence" itself has infinite meaning.
Chapter II Universe
The enlightened saint called this phenomenon "the universe is full of love". In other words, every grass, tree or stone on the roadside contains love-that is, "the will of the universe".
Chapter III Mind
The creator of the universe put all kinds of tests on human beings and then observed how they faced it. Improve your mind. Purify your mind. In this respect, life can be said to be a Dojo specially set up for practice.
Chapter IV Creator
The universe can't give up evolution because there is no way. Because human beings can not only evolve in the direction given by the creator, but also in their own direction, and its driving force is the consciousness of "cultivating the mind"
Chapter V Desire
In fact, poor or not. No matter whether you are sick or not, anyone can calm your mind and improve your personality and spirituality as long as you make up your mind.
Chapter VI Consciousness and Soul
The conscious body does not stay in one individual, but constantly moves to the next "I" body, thus improving one's mind. Morality and personality. Therefore, we are not only responsible for ourselves in this life, but also responsible for ourselves in the next life.
Chapter VII Science
I think what modern society needs more is to look at the world from the creator's point of view, that is, to look around the whole universe and human problems, and then seriously think about how human beings should think in order to make the world better.
The second part lives in altruism.
Chapter VIII Humanity
Man is the only life on the earth that can "think about things on the earth in an all-round way", and no other animal or plant has this ability. Because of this, human beings are beings with special value. For mankind, it is the most important mission of mankind to make every effort to strive for the evolution of the world.
Chapter IX Freedom
As far as human nature is concerned, freedom is very important, but freedom that is vital to human beings is also the reason for human beings to do evil. As mentioned above, human beings often bring freedom to others in order to fight for their own freedom.
Chapter X Juvenile Delinquency
When considering the problems of teenagers, we should first consider "what can we do to cultivate children's beautiful hearts". The most basic education is that everyone should control their own desires. Enduring the harsh environment and working hard are all necessary lessons to sharpen one's mind.
Chapter II XI The purpose of life.
Get ahead, succeed, just want to be interesting. A special life is just a process of life. The real purpose of life is to be a quality person!
Chapter XII Fate and Karma
We can use the "law of karma" to change our innate destiny. In other words, if you do good. Always do good, and the direction of fate will be better.
Chapter 13 The Test of Life
In the stormy life, no matter whether the situation is good or bad, it is a test given by the creator. Lucky encounters and unfortunate disasters are essentially tests. How a person faces such a test will further determine what changes will take place in his future life.
Chapter 14 Distress and hatred
First, if you have time to worry, you will work harder than others. Second, if you remain modest, you will never be proud. Third, daily self-reflection and troubles are completely different. Fourth, you should be content. Gratitude lives on earth. Fifth, live an altruistic life that prefers others to be better than yourself.
The third part raises the mind to a higher level.
Chapter 15 Adversity
It is human nature to love leisure and hate work, but if we take a long-term view, we will find that people who have suffered in their youth will often have more brilliant achievements in the future than those who live in superior environments.
Chapter 16 Emotion and Reason
In my opinion, the most important thing in running a business is to think rationally in the initial stage and use emotions appropriately in actual implementation or response.
Chapter 17 Diligence
The purpose of labor should not be limited to obtaining food. Freedom from hunger is also to hone people's minds. If everyone works hard, we can cultivate a beautiful mind and make mankind more perfect. We might as well give a new definition to labor.
Chapter 18 Religion and Death
Although a person feels lonely when walking, he still has to bravely March towards the next journey in the afterlife, and the medal worn on him at that time will be a better soul and a brighter heart.
Chapter 19 * * Life and Competition
I'm sure that enterprises must compete with each other if they want to survive, and enterprises must also move towards * * * if they have competitors.
Chapter 20 The way to contentment
Having the idea of * * * can not only enrich our lives, but also enrich our lives. If most people can have this idea, I believe we can build a society that is equally rich in material and spiritual.
Chapter 21 The Road I Walked
For me, death is just a new journey for the soul. I firmly believe that it is only the death of the body, not the death of the soul. If death is the beginning of a new journey, then dying of cancer is not a tragedy.

Media recommendation:
The development scale of Kyocera Company is so large that it has not lost its entrepreneurial spirit because Mr. kazuo inamori's business philosophy has penetrated into the organization.
-Kenichi Ohmae, master of global management, father of Japanese strategy.
According to my observation in the past 70 or 80 years, entrepreneurs and philosophers are rare, starting with Mr. kazuo inamori.
-Ji Xianlin, a famous scholar
Mr kazuo inamori's thinking about "why people live" is meaningful, because he tells people his understanding of people and the world, and what his beliefs are. I believe everyone can feel how this belief is transferred from one personal value to another entrepreneurial spirit, so that everyone can understand the true meaning of how to start a business from how to be a person.
—— Zhang Peng, executive editor of —《IT Manager World magazine.
Many first-line entrepreneurs in China can endure any hardships like purgatory, but they can't endure the hardships of success. The problem is that they didn't realize that "life and business activities are interlinked" like kazuo inamori, and they didn't go back to the origin of life and spiritual cultivation to run enterprises. In fact, as kazuo inamori explained in this book, the philosophy of life is exactly the same as the effective philosophy in enterprise management.
—— Wang Yukun, director of Tsinghua University China Entrepreneur Thought Research Center

Everyone has his own life.
The Horizontal Axis of Life-Karma
A person's life is determined by the interweaving of the laws of fate and cause and effect. The law of causality is on the horizontal axis, and the reaction is lagging behind. Therefore, good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil, but sometimes it is often delayed.
The law of karma rewrites fate. This reminds me of a lecture I heard before, The Law of Seeds. High-spirited capable female boss, devoutly telling a "secret" that is said to be worth hundreds of thousands-
If you plant good causes, you will get good results;
No pains, no gains;
Filial piety can be changed;
What do you want to harvest in the future? You should plant it now.
Enlightenment to me-What do I want? What can I exchange? Then my youth, sweat and time will be exchanged for the sense of accomplishment and value I want.
Yes, life is full of random and unpredictable situations. Uncertainty runs through life, so it is awesome. At the same time, life is beautiful because of the unknown, and the beautiful expectation for the future supports us all the way forward.
It's easy to be grateful when you meet luck. Be grateful for good or bad, thank you sincerely! I'm afraid we ordinary people still need to practice this kind of mind and tolerance.
Life is intertwined with good and bad, ups and downs. No matter whether the situation is satisfactory or not, how to deal with the immediate phenomenon further determines the direction of life. Therefore, only by accepting the reality and working hard can we change our luck.
In the words of Grandpa Mars, it is "out of thin air". If not, create it yourself!
003 life goal-improve the mind and hone the mind.
Strive for a soul that is better cultivated than birth. A better mind than when you were born is a thoroughly remoulded mind.
Life is bittersweet, life is practice, and life full of impermanence is our best practice field.
So hone your mind and make yourself more generous, better and nobler. Settle down, from struggle, always be altruistic and contribute to others, which will naturally make my life rich and valuable!
