Hello, I'm Yasui, the owner of a company specializing in the inspection of high-pressure gas facilities.
Here are three books I highly recommend!
Recommended Books
1. The History of Japan (Nihon Koki) by Naoki Hyakuta
This book presents Japanese history from ancient times in an easy-to-understand way. While it also reflects the author's personal viewpoints, it's an excellent introduction for anyone who wants to gain a broad understanding of Japan's history. It may even leave you feeling grateful to have been born in Japan.
2. World History Even Elementary School Students Can Understand by Piyopiyo News
History repeats itself. That's why I recommend learning not only Japanese history but world history as well. It makes life much more interesting. Start with the big picture, then dive deeper into the topics that catch your interest.
3. Face Reality by Tadashi Yanai
In this book, the founder of UNIQLO explains what it truly means to "face reality." It's a great read for developing a broader, more objective perspective. Since Yanai is also an avid reader of Peter Drucker's works, I believe his ideas are well worth exploring.
From zero to one.
As long as you're only thinking, you're still at zero.
When you take action and produce results, you've reached one.
But sometimes things don't go as planned.
If you take action but achieve no results, you're still at zero.
Simply praising yourself for taking action doesn't change reality.
People often say things like, "It was a loss that's almost as good as a win," or "This silver medal is practically a gold medal."
But a loss is still a loss.
A hard-earned second place is not first place.
Second place is still second place.
When things aren't going well, the key is to keep going until they do.
I've heard that Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, once said something along the lines of:
"Failure isn't failure if you keep going until you succeed."
Lately, I've found that things haven't always gone smoothly—not just at work, but in many areas of life.
When I look back, most of those situations have one thing in common.
They happen when I'm not actively involved.
If you can't commit yourself to a project, sometimes it's better to step away.
If the risks are so overwhelming that anxiety consumes you, letting go may actually be the wiser decision.
You should compete where you can perform at your best.
A tiger is the strongest when it's in the forest.
Put it on the savanna, and suddenly it's no longer unbeatable.
When your resources are limited, how you allocate them becomes critically important.
If things stop working, it may be time to reassess your strategy.
The environment changes constantly.
Identify the cause.
Address it.
Find the root of the problem and improve things from the ground up.
People who appear successful are often simply very careful to prevent problems before they become problems.
There will always be times when things don't go well.
The question is how you choose to respond.
Only people can make that decision.
Only people can accept reality, make up their minds, and move forward with determination.
Thank you very much for reading.
See you next time!
