Failure is a valuable lesson! But since we haven’t passed that down, let’s record it in writing.

2025/07/10

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Failure Is the Mother of Success—Shigeo Nagashima

Have you ever failed?

 

I was messing up so much that I started wondering, "Is every day just one big failure?" lol

How about you all?

 

But those kinds of failures rarely come to light, don't they?

And, surprisingly, people tend to want to hide their failures, don't they?

 

I was thinking it would be nice if there were a space where I could talk about that openly—but what do you think of a post like that?

 

So, I'm thinking I'll write about some examples of failures, broken down by trade.

And I want to make it possible for anyone to write about their failures.

 

Failure Is a TreasureThat's what I think.

I am writing this down to leave such assets to future generations.

It would be great if there were some photos, too~

Well, it’s not exactly something I can talk about openly, lol.

Failure

For now, it looks like I’ll be writing a lot about the mistakes I’ve made, but please feel free to join in as well.

 

We'll build that platform!

If that happens, please don't be too harsh—just give me a little leeway, lol.

 

We'll be relaunching the site soon, so please bear with us a little longer.

 

See you later.

Hello, I’m Kamino, a civil engineer and government employee who blogs.

"The More Overtime You Work, the More Money You Make" Is a Myth | "Overtime" on Construction Sites Through the Lens of the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I went to the dentist the other day, and my tooth got so swollen that my face was all distorted... After they removed part of the cavity and put in a filling, it seems it had become infected... Take good care of your teeth! But anyway, in economics, there’s a concept called the “law of diminishing marginal utility”…

Hello, everyone. I’m Enta. I’ve been driving for about three hours, thinking to myself, “Isn’t the distance we slope workers travel just crazy?” so I figured I’d write about it lol. Our sense of distance is out of sync with the rest of the world. Generally speaking, a one-hour commute by car…

Why Do Cracks Form in Mortar? | Examining the Causes of Cracks in Formwork and Sprayed Mortar from the Perspectives of Mix Design and Curing

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I came across a job site where there were fine cracks in the joints of the retaining wall. A layperson who was with me (not a slope contractor) asked, “Is this okay?” I explained the reasons on the spot, but later I thought, “If I summarize this on my blog, people will understand…”

Hello, this is Director Jou. I provide on-site support for civil engineering projects in Hyogo while sharing content on YouTube about the use of ICT at construction sites.
