Hello. I'm President Yasui, running a one-person company mainly engaged in the inspection of high-pressure gas equipment.
I’ve been out in the field continuously, and it turns out it’s been 13 days in a row.
Today I had a bit of a slow morning… but only until 10 a.m. After that, I spent my time compiling reports, helping with shopping, and reading books.
I feel mentally and physically refreshed and ready to give my best again after the Golden Week holidays.
As today’s title suggests, I believe it's really important to put yourself in others' shoes.
It’s easy to get caught up in your own world, and though it’s not always easy, even just thinking a little about the other person can change how you speak, and how you interpret what they say.
Why is the person in front of me saying what they're saying?
When you try to understand, their reasons often become clear, and it can help prevent frustration or emotional reactions that might lead to mistakes.
There are many ways to define another person's “position” — their role, job title, the client-vendor relationship, or other aspects of their environment.
Of course, personality also plays a role.
Sometimes, even without asking, you can understand that “they had no choice” when you reflect on the situation later.
If you only think from your own convenience and ignore the other person’s position, you’ll easily become irritated, and it won’t be good for business either.
Since I started making a habit of thinking from the other person’s perspective, I’ve been able to accept what might once have seemed like unreasonable demands, and I rarely get frustrated anymore.
There are still times I need to approach things with a calm, empty mind, but being able to work with a peaceful heart is essential for the long haul.
Today’s quote:
“There are many things in the world that become easier when you put yourself in someone else’s shoes.”
See you again!
