Hello, everyone
This is Enta.
I've been hearing a lot about Vietnamese people lately.
My kids work so hard!
That, and...
The kid who comes over to our house is lazy!
So that's why he was being lazy—he was secretly drinking water! LOL
"What? That's totally normal!! Japanese people drink it too, don't they?"
I mean, if I don't drink it, things will actually get worse, right??
That's what I thought, but I didn't say anything lol—since they're my superior!
After hearing this story, I understood it very well.
It's not that they're lazy.
Actually, Japanese people can be pretty arrogant and harsh toward foreigners—and that goes for young Japanese people, too!
It just feels way too much like, “I’m the one hiring you” and “I’m the one teaching you”!
But things aren't like that anymore, lol.
Are Japanese people really that great?
That's not really the case, is it? lol
I know I'll probably get scolded again for writing something like this, but,
The Japanese Virtue of Humility!Let's do it.
These days, the Japanese economy simply cannot function without foreign workers.
Foreign workers are found in a wide range of industries, particularly construction, nursing care, manufacturing, and others.
That's just the way things are these days.
I know people will probably have something to say whenever I mention “those days,” but,
Actually, time seems to be flying by even faster in the Heisei era than it did in the Showa era, doesn't it? (I mean, it goes by so fast.)
People often say that the pace of life is picking up, don't they?
Things move so fast these days! You don't have to keep up—what's important is just being in the moment.
Going forward, I think Japan—or rather, the world—will shift its focus from China’s economic collapse to the Indian economy, but,
Pretty much the whole world is Indian, right? lol (I'm exaggerating, though.)
Plus, it'll be nothing but young Indians.
And already, Indian technical interns are pouring into Japan from India.
There are a lot of Vietnamese people here now, but compared to the number of Indians, it’s nothing—there are so many Indians flooding in.
It is highly likely that future technical interns will almost exclusively be from India.
In a situation like that, what good does it do to teach people about how tough Japan is? (It’s still like that today, though.)
Well, I think it's fine as long as you make sure to teach the important parts thoroughly.
However, that strange strictness just makes us look ridiculous in the eyes of the international community.
We’ll teach you gently but thoroughly so you can enjoy your work and earn money.
If the roles were reversed, wouldn't you want them to do the same?
Let's start doing that starting tomorrow!
For both foreigners and Japanese people.
It hasn't happened yet, but the driver's license system for foreign nationals will likely change eventually.
The certification system will likely change as well.
After all, we need to have foreigners live in Japan and have children here so that Japan can continue to exist.
I guess eventually the whole world will become a nation of immigrants, huh?
I guess that probably won't happen in my lifetime, though.
I guess I ended up rambling a bit, but to sum it up,Be kind to othersLet's do it!
That's just how it is, lol
Believe that if we treat each other kindly and help one another, they’ll surely return the favor!
People get hurt by others, but they’re also healed by others, aren’t they?
(The Blue Hearts bring back memories~ I'm a huge fan lol)
See you later.
Be kind to others.
Thank you for your hard work.
From topics ranging from slope engineering to life lessons, it always gives me a fresh sense of purpose.
This is Honda from the sales department of a slope mat manufacturer. I recently contacted you regarding a trial installation on a section of a slope. Thank you very much for your thoughtful response the other day.
It ended successfully.
I'm still alive, lol
We couldn’t work things out internally, so it ended up being just the branch manager and me, but it was the kind of situation that even made the branch manager say, “I might have turned it down…” I’m learning something new every day!
As part of a new initiative, we installed wildlife damage prevention netting over our materials, but it was heavy and difficult to handle.
Also, the gravel was really rough, and the pins wouldn't hold unless I used a 400-grit D-grade pin, and I ended up getting three blisters on my palm.
However, since we’ve established a connection with the local government, we’d like to explore the specifications while keeping them updated on our progress.
We look forward to your continued support.
Thank you for your hard work.
I hope this is of some help.
Whenever I have to make a choice, I always try to choose the option that’s less favorable to me.
Even if it’s harder at the time, it often ends up becoming a tremendous treasure later on.
The same is true even in demanding work environments.
I believe that the tougher things are, the more likely it is that they will become a treasure to me later on.
I'm sure of it!
I don't know if that'll be in three days or ten years, lol.
If this job site was tough as well, I think you gained some incredibly valuable experience.
A tough job site really leaves a lasting impression on me. That alone makes it a valuable experience, doesn't it?
It's important to experience work, feel it, and think about it, isn't it?
So let's run while reflecting on what we've learned!
We look forward to your continued support.
