  • Consideration when you do “a good thing”

    The manager, Mr./Ms. H, recently started cleaning the sidewalks around the factory before starting work.When he/she heard that the president’s efforts to enhance humanity would improve the corporate culture and give employees vitality, he/she was convinced.However, two weeks later, Mr./Ms. H was starting to irritate employees who were not going to help with the cleaning.Employees seem to be talking with each other behind the scenes, “Cleaning ostentatiously makes us feel suffocating.” What do we think of when we do “a good thing?”We want to be thankful, praised, acknowledged…. Perhaps we might expect such a reward.However, there is a completely different mind between doing “a good thing” with such a secret […]

  • People supporting your “life” are…

    Just as each of us has parents who gave birth and raised us, our father and mother each has their own parents (grandparents for oneself), and my grandparents also have their parents (great grandparents for oneself).At least 14 people will be supporting your “life” in the total of parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, if you count up to this point.Then, going back to the 30 generations, there are more than 2.1 billion ancestors in total by the calculation, for supporting one’s life.We are the ones who inherit “life” from innumerable ancestors, and also have a mission to connect this to descendants.By being aware of such “the meaning of one’s own life,” […]

  • Focus on people’s “thoughts”

    It seems that we need some motivation to be able to accept the thoughts of the other person. The trigger varies depending on the person.It could be big events like turning points in one’s own life or having various problems for children. Also, even if there is no special event, by reflecting daily on our hearts, we may get an opportunity to receive the thoughts of the other person. In any case, how you take the opportunity depends on your own heart.When you lose heart to accept the thoughts of others, you are often overly obsessed and stuck with your thoughts. It is important for us to open your mind […]

  • Reverse thinking to improve oneself

    When the thing that is inconvenient for oneself happens (When something bad happens to us), we are often to blame others for the cause.And we blame the persons in a heart, acting for a complaint and dissatisfaction.However, if you think of the person as a mirror that reflects on you,you will be able to accept the person who better teaches you about shortage and immaturity of yourself, and points to reflect on faults. We don’t review or reflect on our actions and thoughts when things are going well.So when troubles and conflicts occur, it’s a chance to look back on yourself, and a chance to take a new step for […]

  • To open up a life full of joy

    It is said that we cannot live alone. We live by helping and supporting each other in so many “connections, “from deep ties with parents and children, couples, and close friends to relationships with the various people we meet in society.How well do we apply the warmth and kindness that grows in our hearts to our daily lives?When we greatly develop a warm heart for others and express our desire to give joy, peace of mind, and satisfaction through our words and actions, no matter how small the act, it is sure to touch the hearts of others.The warmth created in this way will spread to the surroundings and become […]
