Hello, I’m Yasui, president of a company that mainly conducts inspections of high-pressure gas facilities.
Let me start with three recommended books:
Taichi Kogure – A Super Intro to Capital
This is an easy-to-understand introduction to Karl Marx’s Capital. Originally a three-volume work, only Volume 1 was published by Marx himself, while the remaining volumes were completed and published by Engels after his death. Kogure does an excellent job of making this complex work accessible. Reading it often leads to “So that’s how it works!” moments.Stephen R. Covey – The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
A must-read for building a better life and mindset.Tadashi Yanai – Face Reality
In this book, the founder of UNIQLO explains what it truly means to “face reality.” It helps develop a broader, more objective perspective. Yanai, a known reader of Peter Drucker, offers insights well worth learning from.
No one can live entirely on their own.
Even the skills we use in our work weren’t developed entirely by ourselves from scratch.
We are who we are today because someone taught us.
And those people were likely taught by someone else as well.
That’s how human connections are built—woven together over time.
Because of that, I believe we should never neglect our obligations to the people or companies that have helped us.
In the short term, you might get away with it if nothing goes wrong.
But in the long run, your environment will become much harsher.
If you don’t develop the habit of thinking long-term, you may end up justifying actions where the ends justify the means.
A stitch in time saves nine.
There may be times in life when things get so tough that you feel tempted to take the wrong path.
But in those moments, it’s worth pausing and asking yourself:
“How would I feel if this were done to me?”
That simple question can often stop you from making a bad decision.
I believe making mistakes is unavoidable in life.
If you can learn and grow from them, then even painful mistakes are never wasted.
However, if someone acts dishonorably and damages the company’s trust, I will stop it without hesitation.
If you repay kindness with betrayal, it may seem fine in the moment—but it will come back to you later, often in a much bigger way.
In the end, the world runs on connections between people.
And those connections are built on trust.
It all comes down to whether others feel,
“I can trust this person,”
or
“I want to keep doing business with them.”
Let’s make GNO—Duty, Humanity, and Repaying Kindness—the foundation of our actions.
I don’t have any extraordinary technical skills.
But I’ve been able to come this far because I’ve tried to value these principles, even just a little.
Let’s do our work in a way that feels right.
Let’s continue to grow as people.
Thank you very much for reading to the end!
See you next time!
