Today junior member in my lab went to a ceremony of potential recruits. That word seems to be seen a weird word, but it is common word in Japan, especially for final school year students. This mysterious ceremony is based on potential recruitment and simultaneous recruiting of new graduates. These systems are core issue of Japanese employment system.
I think true products also can have their own aura. I guess it depends on my experience but this experience might depend on Japanese specific animism. Sometimes I can understand aura from photo of products, and also sometimes I feel it after I touch products.
For example, a paper knife designed by my professor, the name is “Fluctus”. It has something. Its form is very simple, from top view it is traversable. I don’t know why this simple form has aura. I can’t express with my words, but at any rate, it has. This is interesting point of design.
From this time, I’ve been trying to emit aura. Now I can control it in order to make kids obey my words if I’m in a situation I have to do so. It took a long time. Originally I couldn’t emit it any more, but I gradually learned it since I had gotten used to that job. When I tried to emit aura only, I couldn’t do at all though, when I started to lose interest to it, I learned it little by little. In other words, when I became a true coach, I could emit something like aura. Only genuine thing can have aura. Kids have keen sense, so they could feel it naturally.
I couldn’t believe it. Surely, the legend is well known among people who know a history of Japanese soccer, but not only kids but also a half of their parents didn’t know even legend’s name. (It’s because there are a lot of beginners in my team.) Nevertheless in that situation, he did what I couldn’t do even if I gave a shout really easily like a hot knife through butter. Difference of our soccer skill didn’t matter. Kids must see something in only his case.
I studied importance of aura, when I taught soccer to kids with a Japanese legend striker, Kunishige Kamamoto. At that time, I didn’t get used to coach’s work because then I was just getting started that job. Now that I’ve given it some thought, it was really lucky chance.
Around that time, kids didn’t obey my words, even gathering them took five or more times because they talked with each other, ran around and toyed with sand, even if I shouted. However, legend did not even utter a word, only showed his appearance. It was clearly aura, something was behind his back. All kids made beautiful lines without chatting really quickly.
It’s a business company’s significance of existence in capitalism. Surely it’s important thing, it create employment, today’s meal and tomorrow’s work. I never disclaim this concept at all, especially when it connects to common welfare or everyone’s happy it’s really miracle things.
However, in some cases to pursuit of economic profit this concept is against common welfare, in other words, people who drag down others can get money. This situation might be the most evil thing in capitalism, I think.
A famous blogger mentioned that every member should have leadership on her blog. I don’t think her example is appropriate but I agree with her total statement.
I think leadership is not a skill for only people who stand at the forefront. Not only a team leader but also team members can exercise their own leadership. I’m thinking leadership is a skill to lead a team, an organization or a project to victory, success or development. In order to lead a group to its object, members’ each role are always different. It’s because members’ strong points are different and they have an aptitude for each roles.
I studied this concept when I was playing soccer in my high school team. I was a vice captain of the team though, there were skillful members who suit for that position. They knew soccer, had technique, physical abilities and leadership more than me. However, for our team I was better for a flagperson than others. I’m thinking leadership might be a supreme loyalty to a group.
“Although compromise had been not forced, I had accepted restrictions with pleasure.”
Charles Eames
There are many restrictions when we make something in our minds. They are technical problems, shortness of time, lack of money and etc. They can be reasons of compromise too, but restrictions and compromise are totally different. Restrictions are conditions, so they make a project difficult but they can make us think new thoughtful ideas. On the other hand, compromise is a result of shortcoming. It never makes anything. I know this simple concept but sometimes I might be underdog. Then, I try to remember his positive attitude.
I said we need to stop be afraid of making mistakes, it’s same for children. As you know, I am a coach, a kind of soccer teacher, so I must make them try and not to be afraid of making mistakes. However it’s difficult because of an unexpected reason. The reason was me regrettably. I found myself saying, “Hey you! Do like me. It’s easy way to do that.” That boy followed me with smiling without making his own mistakes. After teaching him, I eventually realized that I taught my way to him.
Still I can’t judge that was right or not. I know what I can do is teach kids with my way or ways I know only. Should they have their own ways with their own experience, of course it contains mistakes. I realized again education is very difficult.
I don’t know it’s true or not, Nikkei business reported that au, a Japanese rental radio wave company will sell new iPhone from next season. It was a big surprise for me, because I had been au user but I bought iPhone from softbank another Japanese rental radio wave company because au didn’t sell it. However, I and other Japanese iPhone user are suffering from softbank’s weak and unsteady radio wave, on the other hand au’s radio wave is stronger and more steady than softbank’s, so I want to change.
Now au is doing Android au campaign, my younger brother have an Android au cellar phone, and it will sell windows phone 7.5 as the only company in Japan. It means au can sell three major mobile OS. If they can utilize this situation, in other words, only au users can take that good advantage, they can get first place.
