Your dream will definitely come true"

Kazuo Inamori

Recommended Preface

"Everyone can be a saint"

There are two conditions for achieving sustained success in career and life: 1. Be a good person; 2. You must work diligently and make efforts as hard as anyone else. If you do these two things, you will realize "self-help, people's help, and God's help."

In an interview with CCTV's "Business Tao", Kazuo Inamori said he hoped that young people in China would think this way: "When Kazuo Inamori failed the entrance exams and employment exams repeatedly when he was young, I am better than him. So I As long as I work as hard as he does, I will definitely surpass him."

Prologue

Life depends on how you describe it in your heart

Thinking of goodness

Inner description refers to your "ideas", "concepts", "ideals" and "hopes", or the "philosophy", "ideas" and "thoughts" you hold in your heart, which determine your life.

A book from the Ming Dynasty in China tells the story of Yuan Liaofan (Yuan Xuehai), saying that destiny can be changed by changes in people's ideas.

Think good and do good, and your destiny will change for the better.

Life has infinite possibilities

Life is not a continuous sequence of "accidents". Good things and bad things come alternately. Young friends, this represents the future era. Please don't be depressed when you encounter setbacks. Friends who are in pain should persist in struggling. Struggle will definitely bear fruit. Struggle makes your life more colorful and your personality more noble.

The great development of Kyocera and KDDI

After graduating from Kagogawa University, I joined a company in Kyoto that manufactured electromagnetic bottles. I resigned when I was 27 and founded Kyocera Corporation... (The development of Kyocera and KDDI Development experience)...Now, the Kyocera and KDDI I founded have become giant companies. However, at the beginning, I had nothing and started from scratch. All I have is a belief that my efforts will bear fruit in due time. I suppress my restlessness, motivate myself, and keep working hard again and again, that’s all. In addition, so many people support me and guide me. It can be said that because of them, Kyocera and KDDI are what they are today.

Sorrowful Boyhood

Due to the war, the factory converted from a side house in our house was blown up in an air raid, and my father lost his job. My father has the temperament of a craftsman and a rigorous personality. After the war, my mother advocated reopening the printing factory, but my father refused because reopening the factory would require borrowing a lot of money to buy new equipment. My father, who was afraid to cross the river when he was feeling the stones, was unwilling to take risks and refused to borrow money. No matter how hard my mother tried to persuade her, my father refused to nod. I also hate borrowing money from others, and I run a business based on the principle of not lending money. I think I am very similar to my father in this regard.

My mother has a bold personality and never flinches no matter what difficulties she encounters. I am an optimist and I inherited my mother’s cheerful personality. My mother was also very competitive. Whenever I came home after losing a fight, she would put a broom into my hand and say, "Go and get revenge. Win and then go home!" and drive me out of the house. There are still many episodes of missing my mother.

Before I entered elementary school, I was called a "crying bug." When I started school I had to go to school alone, which I didn't dare to do. When I'm at home, I'm naughty and a bit noisy. Outside, I'm shy and even cowardly.

My grades were pretty good when I first started school. According to my mother, all the grades listed on the grade sheet were “A”. Later, I stopped studying and felt that playing was more interesting than studying. My parents didn't urge me to study, so I played around every day, sometimes going crazy. Looking back now, I lived in the embrace of nature when I was in elementary school.

Suffering from tuberculosis

I was infected by my uncle and became incurable. When I was seriously ill, my neighbor's wife gave me a thick book - "The Reality of Life", written by Masaharu Taniguchi, the leader of the new religion "Growing House" at that time. There is a sentence in it that moved me and caused me to think deeply: "There is a magnet in our hearts that attracts disasters. It will attract weapons, diseases, unemployment, etc. from the outside world."

With great love, regardless of yourself I took care of my uncle until the end, and my father was not affected by tuberculosis, but I, who could avoid it, was plagued by the disease.

What is the reason? I was a child at the time but I reflected deeply on this. I still remember that scene. Mr. Taniguchi's book "The Reality of Life" gave me an opportunity to start thinking about how important human mentality is.

Meeting a mentor and being attacked by air raids

I failed the exam twice at Kagoshima No. 1 Middle School, and while I was recovering from illness, I almost gave up on the registration opportunity given to me by Teacher Doi. In 1945, with his encouragement, he entered Kagoshima Junior High School. Just before the end of the war, air raids intensified, and there was no atmosphere for learning at all.

It happened to be bombed by US military planes. My uncle eventually died of illness. Our house was bombed. The family had to hide in the shelter and had problems eating. In this case, we used iron buckets to collect food. The sea water was boiled and the sea salt was sold to make money; my mother went to the black market and sold her clothes to the country people in exchange for rice, so that we could make a living.

Desperately surviving in the chaos after the war

After the war, Japan was very poor and people were generally malnourished. We students cleared wasteland to grow sweet potatoes, secretly brewed soju and sold it. After the fire, my body gradually recovered, and I gradually worked harder in my studies.

Desire for further education and selling paper bags

When I entered the new high school - Kagoshima City No. 3 Senior High School, I went crazy playing baseball after class. After being caught and scolded by my mother once, I reflected on giving up playing ball games and started helping my father with his side business - selling paper bags. I rode my bicycle to various shops to sell paper bags. I was like a hard-working salesman who was not afraid of tigers. Under my offensive, other paper bag manufacturers in Fukuoka Prefecture retreated one after another. Looking back, my experience in the paper bag business was the starting point of my career. With the encouragement of my teachers, I chose to go to university after graduation.

My Yingxue Times

I developed the desire to go to college through an exam-oriented magazine "Yingxue Times". After I decided to take the college entrance examination, I began to study hard. I was still studying when other classmates fell asleep. I hope to enter Osaka University.

I failed the entrance examination at Hankook University and entered Kagoshima University

Due to illness when I was young, I prepared to take the pharmacology major in the Department of Medicine, determined to become an expert in developing new drugs. As a result, I didn't pass the exam, so I went to Kagoshima University's Department of Engineering to study organic chemistry, which is closer to medicine. I was surrounded by "ignorant" people, but I was a good student. I was used to going to the library and didn't like playing pinball machines with them.

The delicious taste of "surprised noodles"

My classmate's friend did not keep the money he won playing marbles, so he generously invited us to dinner. This behavior touched me very much at the time. This classmate of mine spent his own money to invite me, who works on the front line all day long, to come out to get to know the society and increase my knowledge. He also used the money he deserved to treat me to dinner. However, I was prejudiced against him and thought that "he is not doing his job properly and he still repeats the grade." Regardless of other people's face, they will leave as soon as they lose. Now he seems to be a really narrow-minded little man.

My life in college was very shabby, I couldn’t afford reference books and wear a pair of clogs. Just spend it like this and welcome graduation.

Can you survive life by joining the underworld?

After graduating from college, what’s the use of good grades? Without a strong background, people are not willing to care about a student of a new university. Looking back on the path I took when I was a teenager, none of it went smoothly. I failed in the exam. I failed in the exam again the next year and had no choice but to enter a junior high school at the bottom. Later, when I entered high school, my first choice of college entrance examination failed. Now I want to apply for a job, but I have been repeatedly rejected. frustration. At that time, an idea suddenly came to me: "Let's just go against this society and be cynical. Anyway, I have practiced karate and my hands are not weak." I wandered in front of the office of the violent gang in the bustling area of ??Kagoshima for a long time. .

Life will not always be unlucky

I revised my thoughts and thought of hope. Finally, I did not step into the door of the underworld. I entered the Kyoto "Matsukaze Industrial Company" in a professional field that did not match my career. The beginning turned out to be very shabby and embarrassing. The first half of my life was full of setbacks. It gave me tempering and testing. It is in such experiences that a person's true abilities are infinitely extended.

Ideals will definitely come true

Encountering hardships and wanting to get rid of them is what it means to be human. This is often the case when you want to get rid of something but can't. Be it bad luck or bad luck, endure them, keep a cheerful mind and look forward, persist in working hard and never slack off, this is life.

This is my life. With a cheerful attitude and unremitting efforts, I have realized my ideals.

Entering a loss-making enterprise

In 1955, when he took office, "Satsufeng Industrial" first hired 5 people. The 5 new employees met each other every day and complained about the company. In less than two months, It was just me and one other person. We felt that complaining was useless, so we discussed applying for the Self-Defense Force. In order to enter the Cadre Candidate School, we took the exam at the Self-Defense Force in Itami City, Hyogo Prefecture, and passed successfully.

I was the only one left in the company

I entered the Self-Defense Forces and asked for a copy of my household registration. My family did not agree that I should quit my hard-earned job and they would not give me a copy of my household registration. In the end, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay alone in the company. I began to change my thoughts and attitudes, seriously started research, and slowly entered a "virtuous cycle." Although I was only 23 years old, I thought: "If I continue like this, I will rely on my own research." , I can turn this deficit company into a profit."

The research results were adopted by Panasonic Electric Group

About a year and a half after the research began, I successfully synthesized a method. The new ceramic material is called "forsterite". This new material is the first in Japan and the second in the world. Panasonic uses the high-frequency insulating material I developed to manufacture the "U-shaped insulating parts" in TV picture tubes. In order to complete orders from Panasonic Electronic Industries, I specially selected a group of outstanding young people to be research assistants.

Maintain production despite the risk of breaking the strike

At that time, there were frequent conflicts between the company's employees and managers, and strikes occurred one after another. Once a strike occurs, supply to Panasonic will be interrupted and losses will be caused to customers. Considering this, we risk disruptions and strikes to maintain production. All employees in our department live in the workshop. After the products are produced, they are dropped from the wall and let the female employee waiting outside the company wall pick them up and then send them to Panasonic Electronics. (The female employee who picked up deliveries outside the wall at that time is my current wife.) I tried my best to invest in research but no progress was made. I had opposing views with the technology minister, and eventually I resigned and left the company.

Continue to work as hard as anyone else

My companions felt that it would be a pity to give up midway, so in 1959, the Kyoto Ceramics Company came to the rescue with 3 million yen in capital. And born. "If I fail, it will not only mean betraying the shareholders who kindly invested in setting up the company for me, but it may also make the employees live on the streets." I work hard every day and put in as much effort as anyone else. Looking back on life, I think the most important thing is to "always have a clear goal, and work tirelessly, hard, and hard toward this goal." When Kyocera becomes famous, it is not proud, but still perseveres, strives for excellence, and continues to work hard. This is what led to today's achievements.

When doing research in the laboratory, I mix the raw materials in the agate mortar every day, or run the jar mill that crushes the raw materials all day long. There are several small grinding balls in this jar mill. , the raw materials are crushed by the continuous rolling of the grinding ball. At first I didn't pay much attention and just followed the normal method. Once again, I was attracted by the sight of an advanced technician using a scraper to remove the powder from the pits, and then using a brush to clean the ball. As I watched, I thought: "A man who graduated from college is doing such a trivial thing." After several attempts to imitate myself, I finally understood the truth of his method - so that's it! Because of the carelessness in washing the grinding ball, the powder from the previous experiment, although only a small amount, was left in the pit of the ball. Just because a little bit of powder is mixed in, the performance of the ceramic changes subtly. The ancestor carefully cleaned the can grinder and then wiped it carefully with a towel. I marveled at how thoroughly he did such a simple assignment! Since then, no matter how cold the weather is, I will carefully clean the can grinder with cold water, carefully check whether there are any impurities left, and then wipe it dry with a towel for next use.

In fact, although I poured my enthusiasm into research work, I often asked myself: "What results will I get if I continue doing this all my life?" I felt anxious and even depressed at times.

Fighting against negative emotions

Although I am always hesitating between resigning and staying at my job, I strongly feel that "if you just complain and don't do things seriously, you will not succeed in life." of.

"For young friends who are about to join the workforce and start their journey in life, I want to tell you: "Persistence is strength. Take it one step at a time in a down-to-earth manner, persevere throughout your life, and keep working hard. It was through this sustained and extraordinary effort that I finally achieved a great career. ”

Like your job and keep delving into innovation

There are very few lucky and determined people who can find or determine the job they like from the beginning. Since there is no chance to choose, Then love this work from the bottom of your heart. If you want to continue to focus on a job, it is important to keep thinking and innovating.

Be happy when you should be happy

Research is sometimes boring and long-term, as is the case with any long-term and arduous work. I am the same when encountering various things, always because of small things. I feel happy about my success (this is not "frivolous"), because I realize that this is spiritual nutrition. You will get a different life if you look at your life positively and optimistically or treat it negatively.

Like. My own company

I hope for Kyocera employees: 1. Like their jobs; 2. Continuously delve into innovation; 3. Find fun in work and innovation. Now I would like to add two more: 4. Like their own company; 5. Continue. After working hard, I can get God's revelation. I entered a company that I don't like, but if I can't change it, I have to accept it actively. It's not difficult to get rid of the negativity gradually. With attitude, life will turn around.

Live this day energetically

Realizing your dreams can only rely on hard work step by step. Long-term plans are of no use. Don't just describe your dreams. In that case, your dreams will only be dreams no matter what. Do what you do today and work hard every day. Over time, you will reach a high level without knowing it. Realm. Whether it is study, work or sports, such efforts are the only pragmatic way to realize dreams.

Never forget to be grateful

“I work hard to do the work in front of me and solve the problem in front of me seriously. problems, but no results or progress can be seen. "Many young friends may think so. But I advise you to work harder. "Your efforts have reached the limit, and greater efforts than this are absolutely impossible. "——If you work hard to this extent, you will either receive inspiration, which is like a gift from God; or someone will appear who recognizes your efforts and lends a helping hand to you.

Creating Kyocera

When I resigned, my subordinates rushed into my dormitory and said in unison: "I will resign too and follow you!" "Mr. Aoyama introduced me to his classmates and persuaded them to invest. Even the final loan from the bank was made with the property of Mr. Nishida (a specialist at the Kyoto distribution box manufacturer "Miyagi Denki Mfg.")'s own property as collateral." Kyoto Ceramics Co., Ltd. opened on April 1, 1959. At the beginning, it borrowed the warehouse of Miyagi Denki. It had 28 employees. The president of the company asked Miyagi to serve as a concurrent director and Aoyama as the executive director. I was the director and technical director. Minister. I am responsible for the actual operations.

Through the rigorous training of IBM, we have become a world-class company.

We worked hard and miraculously made a profit in the first year. Five years after Ceramics was founded, that is, in the mid-1960s, a large number of transistors were used in the "heart parts" of electrical products such as radios and televisions. We received a large number of orders from Hong Kong Microelectronics Company and American Fairchild Semiconductor Company in 1966. IBM made a large order of 25 million integrated circuit substrates for ICs. At that time, Kyocera's annual sales reached 150 million yen, but IBM's requirements exceeded ours. 10 times the normal amount. Even so, we couldn’t give up. After I became the president in the 8th year after starting the business, I worked continuously from early morning to late night every day in my dormitory, and devoted myself to the development of this product. Months... 5 months... Finally, the first 200,000 products were completed and delivered according to the customer's specifications. However, all of them failed to pass IBM's inspection and were all returned.

Development had to be started all over again.

Have you prayed to God

One night at 2 o'clock in the night, I was patrolling the workshop to encourage the employees who were still working overtime in the workshop. I saw a technician standing in front of the furnace, his shoulders shaking and sobbing. When I asked, his reply was "The temperature inside the electric stove cannot be balanced, so there are always subtle differences in product size." I asked him to go back to sleep, but he stood still. This is what I asked him: "Please let us succeed this time - during sintering, have you ever prayed to God like this?" What I want to express is that after I am sure that I have tried my best, there is no other way but to pray to God. He did it. You hear this repeated a few times, then nod and say, "I got it! Let me start over." So he renews the challenge. We all finally overcame one difficulty after another. We used a 24-hour-a-day, three-shift system, with a monthly output of 1 million units as the goal, and worked at full capacity to produce at full capacity. Seven months after receiving the order, IBM finally sent a notice of qualification for Kyocera's products. Nothing can replace the confidence that comes from being thoroughly tempered by one of the world's leading companies and completing tasks delicately. After that, orders continued, and Kyocera entered a stage of rapid development. In the 12th year after its establishment, Kyoto Ceramics entered the ranks of first-class companies.

Challenging the Giant

I proposed to participate in the communications industry, and challenging the Telecommunications Corporation (NTT) as an outsider was considered a reckless idea. For six consecutive months, even after drinking and going home, I still never forget to ask myself whether my motives are good and whether I am selfish. Finally, I confirmed that my ambition is to "do my best for society and the world." I am pure and unswerving. Up to that time, Japan's domestic telephone business was monopolized by Denden Corporation. Therefore, Japan's telephone charges were much higher than international standards. People were looking forward to the emergence of new telephone companies to reduce Japan's telephone charges through competition. Only after this was clear did we begin to publicly express our participation in the communications industry. The "Second Electric Power Commune" was opened.

The scope of "au" mobile phone service is determined

Based on the understanding of the development prospects of semiconductor performance and size miniaturization, I firmly believed at that time that "if we continue to develop at this speed, we can have it in the palm of our hand." "Mobile phones will be available soon." Since no mobile phone (car phone) business was progressing smoothly at that time, none of the directors of our company agreed to participate in the mobile communications business. "No one agrees, so you and I are going to do it too." I said to another company director. It was under such circumstances that the mobile communications business began, and this was the beginning of the "au" mobile phone service system that KDDI is currently engaged in. Since then, Daiden Denden has been recognized for its participation in the mobile communications business.

Weeds are also trying to survive

Through the business experience of Kyocera and KDDI, I often tell young entrepreneurs a truth: "In this world, all living things are struggling to survive. "We are working hard." Even the weeds on the roadside are trying to survive. No matter what the result is, go all out, pay attention to every moment in front of you, and work hard again and again.

What to learn in school

For children, the most important thing is: what to learn in school? I think the most important thing is to learn "creativity", learn "diligence", learn "how to behave correctly", find a teacher who can impart these qualities, and open up your own brilliant life.

Why should I be reprimanded

There are two things that I still remember clearly in elementary school. One was a question from the teacher in the social studies class: "Why is the rice from Kagoshima shipped to Kyushu?" Since I don't like studying, I raised my hand and answered: "That's because there is a surplus of rice in Kagoshima." The teacher suddenly reprimanded, "You are a fool! You!" and then explained many reasons. In the final analysis, it was because of the local rice surplus. I don't like studying, and this thing makes me even more discouraged.

The proud work of the summer vacation - the measuring instrument

During the summer vacation of the fourth grade of elementary school, I didn’t know how to do manual work. Everyone collected insect specimens, but I couldn’t learn it well. I didn’t want to apply what I learned. I made a "measuring cylinder" out of a bamboo tube: I dug out the inside of the bamboo to make a cylinder like a telescope, inserted it into a celluloid board, and carved the degrees on it. Make another tripod and fix the bamboo tube on the stand.

When measuring distance, for example, set up a tripod 20 meters away from the object to be measured, erect a 1-meter-long wooden stick near the object to be measured, align it horizontally with the bamboo tube, and then observe through the hole at one end of the bamboo tube. The height of the object can be calculated by looking at which scale the measured object is aligned with on the celluloid plate on the cylinder. This is a method of determining the height of an object using proportional measurement. In the end, the teacher still said, "You are an idiot. Can something like this measure height?" The bamboo tube accidentally fell during the demonstration, which also caused a burst of laughter from the students. Very helpless and embarrassed. Looking back, I feel that such an approach of pouring cold water on creativity cannot produce outstanding children.

Cherish creativity

Being able to remember knowledge is the ability that an excellent person should have, and creativity based on this is even more valuable. In the new era, you will not be able to win in the competition simply by repeating or referring to previous examples. Applying knowledge is more important than remembering it.

The difference in creativity reflected in the Kyoto Prize

The "Inamori Foundation" I run awards the "Kyoto Prize", a major international award, to scientists with outstanding research achievements every year. The three major branches of cutting-edge technology, basic science, and thought and art are awarded with a prize of 50 million yen, which is awarded together with a gold medal inlaid with dazzling emeralds and rubies made by Kyocera. Or when selecting people, scientists in many fields around the world. Judging from the selection results of the "Kyoto Prize", it is difficult for Japanese education to breed creativity, while education in Europe and the United States, especially the United States, is significantly better than Japan in terms of creativity.

Think about your own life goals

Compared with Japanese children, American children receive relatively free and relaxed education before high school. This stage focuses on cultivating human nature and personality and clarifying "their future self". "What do you want to do, where is your goal?" After going to college, I worked hard to learn the basic knowledge related to achieving the set goals. They all have a sense of purpose. Whether you have this kind of thinking experience or not will make a big difference in your future life development. It's not too late to try hard now. I hope everyone will awaken to their own creativity and expand it consciously.

Start learning again from primary school courses

My grades in primary school are not good, especially in mathematics. High school students use it to review again. Whenever I look back on relearning math, I feel like it changed my life. The subject I once disliked the most turned out to be my favorite and best subject, and I was admitted to a university of science and engineering. Furthermore, this matter is also directly related to my ability to create a high-tech enterprise like Kyocera today.

Early rice and late rice

People are like early rice and late rice. There are those who mature early and stand out early, and there are those who bloom late. Don’t be discouraged if your grades are not good, just start working hard from then on. For those who are worried about poor grades, I think it is better to start from the most basic ones. Some people may think it is stupid, but I worked hard in this way, improved my grades in this way, and shaped who I am today.

Why we should pay attention to morality

You have to learn a lot of things in your future studies, and one of the things you must not forget is to improve your own character. "Good character and good humanity" are the highest values ??of being a human being. After Japan was defeated in the war, all its citizens worked seriously and desperately to achieve economic development, which is called a "miraculous revival." A small island country has now become the world's second largest economic power. What supported Japan's economic development during this period was the diligence, enterprising spirit, and enthusiasm of every citizen. The foundation for all of this was morality.

Japanese society cannot be allowed to decline

The so-called morality is the benchmark for judging good and evil that people need in order to survive. In fact, incredible vicious events are happening in Japan today, juvenile crime is increasing, and society is declining. This is because while we are economically prosperous, our Japanese souls tend to be poor, and creating spiritual wealth depends on morality. Moral education is urgent.

The desire to do good things

What is particularly important in the original moral heart of human beings is the care for each other. "Wanting to be helpful to others", "wanting to do something for society and the world", the morality reflected in this idea is what today's society and the world need most.

As long as you keep thinking this way and working hard, your idea will definitely come true at some point.

Young people who shoulder the future should "want to do good things" and work towards this goal. In this case, your character will be improved, and your future and the future of mankind will become more beautiful. .

Don’t be discouraged by bad luck

In life, passion and way of thinking are much more important than ability. Even those who are not very capable but work hard and have the mentality to do their best for others will have much better results in life than those who have excellent abilities but are unwilling to work hard and have a negative outlook on life. Don’t be discouraged if you are less capable. Persistent efforts and a positive way of thinking will definitely cultivate you into a talented person and allow you to achieve fruitful results.

The goal of life is to pursue a beautiful mind

The goal of life is to become a good person. No matter how big a group you are, whether you have hundreds of millions or billions of assets, status and property have no value in terms of the purpose of life. A person's value lies in what kind of personality he has. In order to shape our excellent personality, nature, the universe and the gods give us various tests. This test includes not only disasters and misfortunes, but also successes.

The setbacks and tests in youth are opportunities to hone yourself

Successful too early in youth often breeds arrogance and leads a luxurious life, so retribution will come. Experiencing many failures and setbacks can make your future evil life more mature, more realistic, and happier.

Facing the test

At the primary school class reunion, we learned about everyone’s different experiences, and it was the squad leader who had a profound impact. At that time, I studied very well and got into a good high school. At that time, I kept thinking about why I failed to get into the exam and suffered such bad luck. There must be some feelings of envy and jealousy. Later, his family's house was burned down by an air raid, and he fell into decline ever since. His childhood success disrupted his later life. This incident taught me that I should not be proud when encountering good things, and should not be depressed when encountering disasters. I should accept the test head-on and use it as motivation to work unremittingly and shape my own personality in the process.

Takamori Saigo who tempered himself in severe tests

Takamori Saigo is a historical figure that I like very much. When he was a child, he was nicknamed "Idiot" and he was an inconspicuous child. However, he later became a noble figure respected by the great people of the late Tokugawa period, including Katsu Kaishu, and achieved the great historical cause of the Meiji Restoration. He has experienced various severe tests in his life, and his experiences tell us how to act when encountering "tests" in life. Whether a person can succeed or not, coming here is the watershed.

The life of Nakamura Tianfeng

Nakamura Tianfeng, a philosopher of the municipal committee, is a figure who became enlightened by practicing yoga in India. He was undisciplined in his early years, and even worked as a spy to sneak into Manchuria, or he may have contracted tuberculosis. On his way back to the United States and Europe to explore "what is life", he met the Indian yoga saint Garaba in Egypt. After recovering from his illness and becoming enlightened, he returned to Japan to serve as held many important positions. In his later years, he gave up all his positions, including bank president, and began to preach on the street. He traveled around the world throughout his life, telling people the truth: "Everyone's life is determined by his mentality, and life will change due to changes in his views on life." Change". I also began to firmly believe in this truth.

The results of life vary due to different passions and ways of thinking

The results of life = ability * (multiplied by) passion * (multiplied by) way of thinking

Having a positive way of thinking will lead to a happy life

Due to the setback of the artificial bone business and the teachings of the elders

Kyocera entered the medical field in 1972 and developed new ceramics Artificial tooth roots and artificial bones. Laws regarding drugs and medical devices stipulate that even artificial bones and artificial joints made of the same materials need to be separately approved when they are made in new shapes or sizes. Therefore, the result is that Kyocera was already selling the product long before it was approved. It was originally done taking into account the needs of patients, but the department was suspended for a month for violating the law. Later, I received some teachings from Elder Nishikata Danxue. The elder said: "There is nothing that can be done about it, Mr. Inamori. Pain is the proof of survival."

I plan to undergo gastric cancer surgery on the day I enter Buddhism

I believe that the purpose of life is to become a person with a beautiful soul, so when I reach the age of 60, I want to calm down and enter the temple to Monks study. Due to work, the matter was postponed until the age of 65, when Yu was diagnosed with gastric cancer. After surviving a stomach resection surgery that was more painful than others, I shaved my head and practiced in a monastery. Elder Nishikata said to me again: "For you, returning to society and playing a role there is in line with Buddhism." So, I quit the front line of business and did something beneficial to society - albeit little by little.

The six paramitas advocated by Sakyamuni

The six paramitas: charity, precepts, patience, diligence, meditation, and wisdom.

Everyone has the "three poisons"

Sakyamuni said: "There are 108 kinds of human troubles, among which greed, anger, and ignorance are greed, anger, and ignorance. (Venting dissatisfaction) These 'three poisons' are the most difficult to deal with."

Building Personality

Sakyamuni said before 2005 that as long as you earnestly implement the six items, your life will be happy. happy. I hope young people will study these six perfections to hone their minds.

Shaping the Mind

Whether it is in the sports world or the industrial world, achieving success at a young age is something to be thankful for. However, once people succeed, they often get carried away and stop working hard. And success in youth carries many dangers. Young man, even if your career makes you satisfied, you must still remain humble and continue to work hard. In this way, your mind will improve and your life will be better.
