みなさん、こんにちは
ブログ第４３０弾です。
先週、正月に家族で写真を撮って、それを友人に送るとみなさんが
娘さんはそっくりですね。
と言われました。
女性で年頃なので申し訳ないと思っていたので、娘にゴメンねと言いました。
そしたら娘はむしろお父さんと似ていて良かったと言ってくれました。
非常に嬉しい半面、少し複雑な気分でしたが、素直な良い子に育ってくれて良かったです。
手前みそですが、本当に子供たちが良く育ってくれています。
恐らくうちの奥さんの教育が良かったのだと思います。
さて、今回は慎重というテーマでお話をさせて頂きます。
最近も父である会長と話す機会が多いのですが、創業当時からすごく慎重な方です。
周りを固めたら一気に実行する。
常に用意周到に思考されていて、自分の基準をクリアしたら一気に進む。
自分の哲学から外れない、そして決めた後のスピードが早い。
常にチャンスがあれば動けるように、衝動的な行動をしない。
だから好循環に相手から良い情報があれば、すぐに対応できる。
対応できるから相手もまた、良い情報を持ってきてくれる。
我慢というか倹約というか、自分の理想に対して愚直に理想に向かって進んできた姿は
頭の回転もさることながら、やはり入口時点での哲学がはっきりしているから、好循環を産む。
そんな事を何度も背中で見せてくれていますが、
私の時代時代に合わせて受け入れ方に変化がありましたので、改めて書かせて頂きました。
また来週お会いしましょう。
Blog No. 430th “Be careful”
Hello everyone, this is the 430th episode of my blog.
Last week, we took a family photo for New Year’s and sent it to some friends, and they all said,
“Your daughter looks just like you.”
Since she’s a woman at that certain age,
I felt a bit bad and I told my daughter I was sorry.
My daughter then said that she was actually glad she resembled her father.
I was very happy to hear that, but at the same time, I felt a little conflicted.
Still, I’m glad she’s grown into such a well-behaved and kind girl.
This may sound self-serving, but
my children have really growing up well.
I think it’s probably because my wife raised them well.
Today, I’d like to talk about the theme of caution.
I’ve had many opportunities to talk with my father, the chairman,
and he’s been a very cautious person since the company was founded.
Once he has carefully prepared and gathered the right people, he executes everything at once.
He’s always thoughtfully prepared,
and once his standards are met, he moves forward decisively.
He never strays from his philosophy,
and once he makes a decision, he acts quickly.
At the same time, he is always ready and doesn’t act impulsively.
Because of this, a virtuous cycle is created.
When the other party provides good information, he can respond immediately. Because he responds quickly, they in turn brings him more good information.
Perhaps it could be called patience or frugality, but the way he has steadily pursued his ideals shows not only quick judgement, but also that his philosophy was clearly defined from the very beginning, and that is what creates a virtuous cycle.
I’ve seen him demonstrate this many times through his actions.
However, the way I accept and apply these ideas has changed over the years, and that’s why I decided to write about it again.
This week was a week of these thoughts.
See you next week.
Sincerely yours.
