The crystallization of these ideas can be applied to everyone, which can be described as a life textbook.
This book begins with questioning the meaning of life and discusses around this core. The preface guides readers to discover what is the meaning of life by asking questions. What is the purpose of life? Then we will have a comprehensive and detailed discussion. At the same time, he asked, "What is right as a person?" The core of this philosophy. The core of this philosophy is also the main thread running through the book.
The first discussion in the book is: how to realize the ideal. And put forward an important life rule that "only what you actively pursue can be obtained". Then, through this rule, a series of efforts should be made to realize the ideal. In addition to having a strong desire to realize the ideal, we should also make down-to-earth efforts. Only by continuous efforts and innovation can we realize the Great Leap Forward.
Then the author told us that we should consider the problem in principle. The principles of life and management should be simple. This simple principle that can lead people to the right path can be described as philosophy. It is not a profound knowledge, but a "philosophy of life" produced with experience and practice in daily life. It can be a benchmark for our choices and actions at different times in life. At the same time, the author thinks that the way of thinking, enthusiasm and ability are the three elements that make up the achievements in life and work, and the most important of the three elements is the way of thinking. It can even be said that the "way of thinking" determines the outcome of life.
In his book, Mr. kazuo inamori is "tempering the soul and improving the mind". This part puts forward the importance of tempering personality and should be taken as the criterion of tempering mind, which should be implemented in the "six diligence" in daily life. The author also quoted the short story of "Tolstoy's exclamation", talked about human greed, and analyzed naked human nature, thus reminding us to be grateful and introspective at all times, purify and enhance our human nature, and constantly improve it in all aspects.
"Living with altruism" is one of the viewpoints strongly advocated in this book. Mr kazuo inamori told people the importance of "altruism" through his personal experience in begging. It is pointed out that the virtue of altruism is a powerful driving force to break through difficulties and summon success.
Finally, Mr. kazuo inamori expounded another important point in this book, revealing a profound and huge contradiction in the world today from a broader perspective, namely, the contradiction between scientific and technological progress, economic development and the stagnation or decline of human spirit and morality. The reason why we need to constantly sharpen our minds, improve our thinking and strive for further progress in our work and life is to contain and solve this huge contradiction, thus promoting the development and progress of mankind.
