How to Set Goals on the Job (Part 1)

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you have goals on the job site? It’s something people often say—don’t they tell you to set goals? For us slope construction workers (public works contractors), the first goal is the construction schedule, right? The supervisor knows the schedule and the work sequence. So, as for the workers…

Protecting Your Eyes from the Invisible

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s suddenly gotten a little cooler now that we’re into September. The other day I wrote, “It’s only three months left, right?,” but it turns out it’s actually four months left (lol). Anyway, do you know what safety goggles are for?

Found a great product! (Fuel additive for diesel engines)

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s September! Only three months left in the year!! I’ve barely done any work, and yet there are only three months left!!!

I've hardly ever had any success repairing cracks!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m sure you’ve all tried repairing cracks in slopes before, but have you ever managed to fix them perfectly? From my own experience, I’ve never been able to do it. No matter how many times I repair them, cracks always reappear in the exact same spot. Ugh…

Even though I know that everything works out when we stand our ground while still being willing to compromise!

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. A couple of days ago, the two of us started working on a job site in Shizuoka to install 250 rebar inserts. It’s pure hell, lol. I’m going to “enjoy” the labor shortage for a while! lol. Anyway, moving on—the difficulty of satisfying everyone. I use this image a lot, lol, but I really do feel that way…

Aiming for World-Class Standards | A Mindset of Never Underestimating Japan’s Technological Capabilities

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. In a previous news report, Nobuyuki Idei, former chairman of Sony, flatly stated that Japan’s technological capabilities “may fall behind, but they are never advancing.” He added that it’s “better not to think” about things like “the greatness of Japan’s technological capabilities” …
