Altruism of caring for others, even if we try our best to develop it, is often difficult to achieve. However, as long as egoism is suppressed, altruism will naturally appear.
Once egoism prevails, it will bring flaws.
Recently, we can often see in newspapers that political development is deviating from people's concern and only pursuing its own development. Political development depends only on political theory, not the demands of the people.
In addition, economic development only depends on economic theory, and the whole society is in such a state.
In my opinion, the whole society has fallen into a state of corruption and suppuration. If we continue, all systems may crash.
I have a strong sense of crisis.
Despite the economic downturn, the struggle and quarrel between political parties for dominance continues, turning a deaf ear to people's expectations. People in the upper class and leadership are corrupting and festering inside.
They only care about themselves and treat others with self-centeredness, which leads to various problems.
In other words, they can no longer use "What is right? What's wrong? " Judging by this benchmark of good and evil, all judgments have become self-centered and self-interested judgments.
Enterprises and industries are the same, and those naked self-based judgments lead to all kinds of problems. The recent money scandals and personnel scandals are proof of this.
As mentioned above, people can be roughly divided into self-centered egoists and opposite altruists. Unfortunately, altruism, that is, caring for others and caring for others, is not easy to carry forward.
It's a sad fact that it's our human nature to think about whether to make money or not.
If an enterprise is driven by the desire to make money and eat well, it may grow rapidly for a while, but sooner or later there will be problems.
Because holding the thinking of doing business as long as you are good will definitely lead to anti-social behavior, thus causing friction with society, which will inevitably lead to decline.
In other words, when self-expansion and egoism prevail, our behavior will show flaws. There is no exception at this point.
If the mind is a hollow ball
However, the human heart is not just self-existence.
Although this self, that is, egoism, is very strong, at the same time, everyone has the altruistic nature of "benefiting others, thinking for others, being kind to others and caring for others".
Here, I want to emphasize to you once again, "If there is no altruism in the hearts of entrepreneurs, that is, the desire to care for others and think for others, business operation will not be successful."
I want to tell you: "As long as you are good, you can't run a good enterprise with such a mentality."
Of course, few people are born to develop altruism. If ordinary people do not consciously practice, they will almost always act with completely selfish motives. We ordinary people have egoism, that is, only egoism.
Just be good to yourself.
So I want to emphasize once again that this kind of egoism must be suppressed, and as much egoism as we can suppress, we will show how much altruism accordingly.
Altruism of caring for others, even if we try our best to develop it, is often difficult to achieve. However, as long as egoism is suppressed, altruism will naturally appear.
Why should I create Kyocera?
Can you feel how much such altruism you have?
Everyone is the president and management cadre of small and medium-sized enterprises and key enterprises. In fact, everyone already has a considerable proportion of altruism in their hearts.
When I first started Kyocera, I thought, "It's great to set up a company with a capital of 3 million yen. I really appreciate it. Since then, seven comrades and I have a place to develop my skills. This is Kyocera. "
It was only after two years that I realized that this idea was a huge mistake.
In the first year, we recruited 20 employees who graduated from junior high school, and in the second year, we recruited more than a dozen employees who graduated from high school. But these high school graduates put forward the requirements after working for one year:
"How much bonus will be paid this winter, how much salary will be raised tomorrow spring, and how much salary will need to be raised in the next five years. If we can't meet our conditions, we will resign collectively! "
They took a joint letter with bloody handprints and made tough representations to me.
These employees who graduated from high school at the same time put forward the requirement of "everyone resigns together", which shocked me. After that, I talked with them for three days and nights. They demanded: how much salary increase and bonus should be guaranteed every year.
But I insist: "I'm afraid this can't be guaranteed, because we are a new company just established last year." "Didn't I always tell you? I will try my best. I hope everyone will work together with me to build an excellent enterprise. At that time, everyone's treatment will be greatly improved. "
I keep telling them, "If I can promise you something next year, the year after next, or even five years later, then I won't have to work so hard at all. Just to try to ensure that everyone has food today and tomorrow, I have been fighting for five years and it is impossible to make a promise. "
At the same time, I was deeply touched: "The decision to set up Kyocera Company was a failure.
"Since I started my business, I have always believed that this company established with the help of others simply exists for the development of my technology. These employees are strangers to me. They only entered the company after passing the interview, and now even the future life is guaranteed by me. "
Faced with the reality of being cornered by employees, I deeply feel that I have really done something difficult to ride a tiger.
Take the initiative to care for "strangers"
At that time, I could neither take care of my parents, brothers and sisters, nor support them financially.
So I was annoyed: "I can't even help my parents and brothers in my hometown, but I have to provide financial security for these new employees."
I didn't make such a promise when I was hired, but now I'm asked to make such an unreasonable guarantee. It is better to take care of my parents and brothers than to take care of these guys all my life. "
But if you think about it carefully, you will understand that enterprises exist only to protect employees. Only then did I realize this for the first time.
"For these employees, I will work hard all my life." With this in mind, I think water under the bridge.
So, at this time, I decided on the "business philosophy of Kyocera". Why should I run Kyocera?
Before that, I always thought that the company was set up to promote my technology.
But it was at this moment that the purpose of running the company changed and became "pursuing the material and spiritual happiness of all employees".
Moreover, I also believe that we should "make contributions to the progress and development of human society while pursuing the material and spiritual happiness of all employees".
In any case, the company should first pursue the material and spiritual happiness of all employees. I realized this and changed my previous policy.
The expansion of the company is the expansion of altruism.
From the moment you become an operator, you should know that you must take good care of your employees, so that our enterprise can maintain a harmonious atmosphere and operate smoothly.
In fact, this has become a prerequisite for the existence of enterprises.
In Japan, a country where lifelong employment system is widely adopted, employees will hold the idea that once they enter the company, the company will take care of me for life, so operators must take care of these employees who meet by chance. It takes a lot of money to take care of a person's life.
Everyone takes it for granted and unconsciously practices it, which is altruism in itself. In other words, everyone has an "altruistic heart" that is willing to help others.
If we take care of employees' lives as a matter of course, then we already have the compassion and charity that Sakyamuni said, and the love that Christ said. In fact, everyone has it.
Next, our enterprise will gradually grow, with 50 people becoming 100 people and 100 people becoming 1000 people, which means that altruism is gradually expanding, responsibilities are heavier, and more people need help.
Next, we need to make some contributions to the local area, which is altruistic to the residents in the surrounding communities. If we say "I hope to make some contribution to the county", it is altruism to the people in the larger area of "county".
If you want to contribute to Japan, from the national point of view, this is altruism.
Of course, if we want to defend Japan's national interests, it is egoism and egocentrism at the national level, but from the perspective of individuals and nationals, it is indeed a great altruism. Because this is an altruistic act to help "others" like citizens.
Altruistic thinking can also go beyond the national level. For the sake of world peace, if we only consider the gains and losses of one country, it may endanger the whole world.
There needs to be a thinking mode of "the interests of the earth". Furthermore, if we only consider the earth, from the perspective of the universe, it may also bring disadvantages. At this time, we need to have a "cosmic interest" way of thinking.
Can everyone understand?
The human mind is divided into egoism and altruism, and the lowest level is for oneself and individual self-centered selfishness.
The way of thinking and behavior of "as long as you are good" will put the whole society on the opposite side. In contrast, the idea of "at least protecting your wife and children" is self-centered at the family level.
Although it is self-centered at the family level, it is beneficial to him from a personal point of view. Because it is good for him to cherish his wife, protect her and protect his children.
Therefore, self-centeredness at the family level itself already contains altruistic elements.
Even in a small enterprise, guarding the company and cherishing its employees, compared with personal egoism, this way of thinking also contains an element of benefiting others, that is, an element of wanting to help others, which is a very remarkable thing.
Altruism broadens people's horizons.
So, what's the difference between judging things by self-centered egoism and judging things by altruism?
The difference is that the field of vision will be broadened.
Compared with personal egoism, I think that as long as I am good, I can surpass myself, cherish my family, and strive to make my family better, so that I can get rid of my narrow personal vision and look at the problem from a broader perspective of my family.
Furthermore, if we not only consider the family, but also cherish the employees of the company and hope that they will have a better life, then our horizons will also be expanded.
In other words, with the continuous expansion of the scope of altruism, our vision and vision of seeing things will also expand. If you hold the idea of making money by yourself, your vision will really become very narrow.
The result is that you can't see the road ahead clearly and you will fall. I think it's too dangerous to look at those greedy people who only care about making money in their own companies.
Because I can foresee, "I'm afraid that person will fall there." However, he is invisible because he thinks it is right to do so.
On the other hand, if we can open our eyes to altruism, our horizons will continue to expand. When I see that some operators have great love and run enterprises to help more people, I will feel at ease.
When the mentality changes, the outlook on life changes, the fate changes at the same time, and the vision of seeing things changes.
In this case, you will have foresight, you will be able to see the future, and you will have foresight to perceive "I am afraid there will be problems there."
I want to say again that the so-called altruistic heart is a heart that can take the happiness of others as its own. Seeing others succeed, I can feel "how good" from my heart.
Generally speaking, no one can take the happiness of others as his own. It's easy to be jealous when you see others happy. This is an ordinary person.
Some people even want to destroy it because they are unhappy when they see each other happy. Ordinary people are so obscene.
Accordingly, taking the happiness of others as your own happiness and the pain of others as your own painful caring heart is altruism and a beautiful mind.
However, it is difficult to benefit others, because people are naturally self-interested. Me, too. I also have a selfish side, which is greed.
So I want to repeat that as long as this egoism is suppressed to a greater or lesser extent, altruism will arise.
To curb egoism, we need to constantly reflect in life, remain modest, be "satisfied" and not let our desires expand indefinitely.
"Contentment" can help us restrain ourselves. For example, in politics, many members of Congress have decided to be "altruistic" politicians. They participated in the election of the House of Representatives, gained the trust of the people, and entered the National Assembly after the election, determined to do their best for the people.
However, once elected, some people immediately put modesty, introspection, contentment and other ways of thinking behind them, become arrogant and completely forget altruism.
There is no longer Japan as a country and nation in the field of vision, and it has become very narrow to focus only on the interests of itself and its political parties.
In today's world, putting selfish people together is only driven by calculating interests, so the world is getting worse and worse and people are confused. This situation must change, and it is urgent.
We must continue to sound the alarm, so that leaders who can really reflect on themselves repeatedly, think from the perspective of society, and try to restrain even a little self-interest can grow up and let them carry forward altruism.
At the same time, all citizens should change their direction in unison and use their own strength to help train leaders who can really do their best for the people. Only in this way can our society change.
Here, I implore you, even if it is only for this country, try to be altruistic.
The essence of man is altruism.
We seldom have the opportunity to experience this kind of "altruism", but occasionally.
For example, in the crowded subway, I sat in my seat wearily. But in front of me stood an old lady. At this time, although I was very tired and wanted to pretend to be invisible, I still felt uncomfortable, so I stood up and offered my seat to her and said, "Please sit down."
"You are so humble!" The old lady was very grateful and said politely, "Nothing, please sit down." You still say, "Sit down! Please, please. " So the old lady sat down.
Although my feet and legs hurt, I stood with a ring, but I felt very comfortable when I heard the old lady's thanks. Someone should have had this experience.
This kind of mood is different from the pleasure of satisfying desires when enjoying food and wearing fine products. It is a more indifferent and peaceful joy. Altruism can make people feel this happiness.
In other words, altruistic happiness is very different from selfish happiness, which is a very comfortable thing.
However, people are not born so kind, and it is often difficult to carry forward the "altruistic heart".
But in essence, everyone is altruistic, but this altruism will be gradually covered up by self-interest with the growth of age, and self-interest will gradually prevail, but human nature is altruistic.
