In kazuo inamori's view, it is not talent and education, but setbacks and hardships that really shape personality. The highlights of life are tempered in difficulties.
The more difficult it is, especially when life and career are at a low ebb, the more you should stick to your inner light, temper your mind in things and realize your life.
The concept of "refining things" advocated by Mr. Wang Yangming, who is highly respected by kazuo inamori, is that the more difficult things are, the more time it takes to cultivate one's mind.
No matter how good the truth is, you have seen and heard it, and it is meaningless not to practice it yourself. At this point, kazuo inamori can be said to be a fine comprehender and firm practitioner of Wang Yangming's theory of mind "the unity of knowing and doing".
During his life, kazuo inamori experienced numerous difficulties and even despair. Kazuo inamori solved them one by one with his own life mentality, created the future in adversity and made incredible achievements.
Born in a bankrupt family in the countryside, he graduated from a third-rate university and entered a bankrupt enterprise.
At the age of 27, Kyocera was founded with bare hands, and KDDI was founded at the age of 52, both of which developed into the world's top 500 enterprises.
Joined JAL at the age of 78, it took only one year for JAL to turn losses into profits after bankruptcy and reconstruction, creating the highest profit record in JAL history.
As Mr. Yangming said, if the heart is clear, everything is clear.
Kazuo inamori, 88, summed up the wisdom of his life in one word, that is "heart".
Life is attracted by the heart, which is the law of the universe. Therefore, if you want to change your destiny, you must first change your mind and work hard from your heart.
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 and a scientist, the problem he pursues all his life is also a matter of heart. Kazuo inamori realized from an early age that compared with technology and business strategy, people's heart is the most fundamental issue.
In the long-term operation, kazuo inamori put forward the slogan of "improving mind and expanding business" and implemented the policy of "taking the heart as the foundation".
Kazuo inamori's life-long practice has proved that as long as he is altruistic, grateful, modest, positive and independent, insists on the right path, always cultivates a beautiful mind and actively practices, no one can't get the happiness he wants.
Kazuo inamori's philosophy of "respecting heaven and loving people" has influenced and changed a large number of entrepreneurs all over the world.
Kazuo inamori said: Life is not a material feast, but a spiritual practice, which makes it more noble at the curtain call than at the beginning of the opening ceremony.
No matter how rich and powerful you are, when life ends, everything can only stay in the world, and only the soul will follow you on the next journey.
The "daily improvement" advocated by Mr. kazuo inamori is to strive to cross the soul and reach the true self in the depths of the soul, and honestly review the past against this true self to guide the daily actions now.
Cultivate one's morality, cultivate one's nature and purify one's mind. We can start from these five aspects to realize the change of life.
0 1, altruism
Motivation is very important.
Kazuo inamori was the king of children when he was a child. Sometimes, in order to protect his partner, kazuo inamori knows that he has to stand up, and he can't hide when he is knocked down. At that time, he understood a truth: a selfish person can't be the king of children. This also laid the groundwork for the later realization of "altruism".
After a series of physical and mental training, kazuo inamori completely put down his personal motivation at the beginning of his business, and changed the meaning of Kyocera's existence from "self-interest" to "altruism". kazuo inamori could feel that he had become a real entrepreneur.
When you use altruism to contribute to society and the world, your humanity will be tempered, happiness and enrichment will come, and life will have deeper meaning and greater value. It is in this seemingly simple truth that Mr. kazuo inamori realized the power of countless changes in his life.
The universe has endless will and power, and it is a kind of "good" power. Altruism conforms to the general will of "doing good", so it will help entrepreneurs open the "treasure house of wisdom" and let everyone enjoy the surprise of epiphany.
Real achievers are self-expression and perfection in the achievements of others.
02. thanks
Gratitude and cherishing the blessings are the foundation of being a man. People who lack gratitude, people who don't know how to be grateful, their spirit can't grow.
Grateful for all things in nature, grateful for parents, wives and children, grateful for friends and colleagues, grateful for suffering, grateful for everything we have now. Gratitude makes our body and mind highly integrated and leads us to the road of harmony between man and nature.
The more grateful, the richer.
03. modesty
Laozi's Tao Te Ching says: Good is like water.
Water is humble, and you have no regrets when you go to a lower place. Wherever it goes, it will eventually become streams, rivers and oceans.
The reason why a successful person finally declines is often because he is always self-righteous, conceited and unassuming. Kazuo inamori, on the other hand, has always been able to keep a humble heart, constantly learning the wisdom of life from the surrounding environment, and making the enterprise better and better.
Everything has a spirit. With a humble heart and taking everything as a teacher, life can give birth to infinite power.
04, a positive heart
What you think will become your destiny.
In order to get the light of life, we must have a positive heart, start from a positive angle, be full of vitality and meet all kinds of challenges.
A person who is dominated by negative emotions such as jealousy, jealousy and hatred. His mental state is negative, so his life is negative in the end.
On the contrary, an upright person with a positive way of thinking is likely to succeed and live a better life.
Everything is for self-achievement. Kazuo inamori regarded difficulties as an opportunity to improve himself all his life. He believes that as an entrepreneur, no matter what severe environment you are in, you must have a bright heart that firmly believes in the future.
No difficulty is the best way to solve it. This is the spiritual quality and life wisdom of successful people.
05, inner strength
You should have perseverance all your life.
If you want to achieve a certain cause, you must have a strong will to be bold and enterprising, and you must have a burning enthusiasm to achieve your goal anyway.
You can't do it if you don't understand it. Kazuo inamori believes that "what you don't want in your heart can't be close to yourself", and a firm belief is very important. You should firmly believe that everything you do will be successful, and strengthen this belief in long-term practice until it becomes a part of your life.
Kazuo inamori often used "burning soul" to express this meaning. He stressed that in the fierce business competition, leaders need to have the same tenacity and competitiveness as gladiators in order to lead the team to win one victory after another!
Constant strength can make the ordinary extraordinary. With a strong heart, it means "improving day by day." You must work hard and practice yourself step by step in your present life.
Living in the present, with a peaceful and joyful heart and practicing hard work, is the best attitude towards life. The heart is the root of everything.
