Hello, I'm Yasui, a solo president running a company primarily engaged in inspections of high-pressure gas equipment.
Hearing people say, “I’ve been reading your blog,” is incredibly encouraging.
There’s nothing more disheartening than shouting into the void with no one to hear you.
In large organizations, I sometimes receive quote requests via email from sales reps I haven't met, who were likely introduced to me by the contact person I already work with.
Getting a request from someone I wouldn’t normally have access to is truly something I’m grateful for.
Some thoughtful people even include in their email, “I heard about you from Mr./Ms. ○○…”
The fact that our company has been able to continue for 10 years isn’t thanks to my own abilities—it's entirely thanks to the support of everyone around us.
That’s something I must never forget.
It’s like how Amuro Ray isn’t strong just because he is—it's also thanks to the performance of the Gundam mobile suit. (Though, being a Newtype, Amuro is quite strong in the end...)
Among workers in the field, you often hear people bad-mouthing the main contractor’s rep who gave the order.
But we must never forget—we’re the ones being given the work.
There are contractors who, taking advantage of the client’s lack of other options, act arrogantly.
Even if the schedule is a mess or the progress is slow, the primary contractors who entrust us with jobs are taking risks by coordinating those schedules and negotiations.
As partner companies, we should recognize and appreciate that effort.
We should always maintain a sense of respect for others and never forget the gratitude we owe for being entrusted with work.
Sure, we may be in an era where workers can choose the jobs they take, due to the labor shortage.
But that’s all the more reason not to forget our gratitude for receiving work.
Our colleagues get paid because we are entrusted with jobs.
Without clients who use our services, we wouldn’t even have a business to run.
There may not be many players in our industry, but clients can always switch to another provider if they choose.
If we work with the awareness that what we do could be done by someone else, we won’t be able to cut corners.
And still, we must never forget the gratitude we owe to those who choose to use our services.
Let’s value the people in front of us.
If we do, we may come to realize that we are only able to exist because of others.
Never forget gratitude and respect.
Perhaps that's a natural principle woven into human connection.
See you next time!
