Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Golden Week is coming to an end, isn't it?

Please be extra careful during the holiday travel rush, and try not to get frustrated with other drivers—have a safe trip home (if you’re traveling to visit family).

As usual, I managed to catch up on all the estimates and designs in one go during this Golden Week lol

I'll be on site starting Monday, so I'd better get this done or I'm in trouble.

The other day, I was talking to a young person from another company (in a different industry), and,

The conversation turned to the question, “How can I learn skills and knowledge quickly?”

What do you all think? lol

 

We’re slope engineers, but even though our industry is different, we’re still in a technical field.

So, since the basics are pretty much the same for any job, I think you can approach them in the same way.

 

I’m going to write about something that goes against the trends of our time.

What on earth are you talking about these days?

Are you stupid?

You might think that, but there’s only one thing on my mind.

It's a matter of time and quantity.

 

I believe that technical skills and knowledge are both directly proportional to time.

Work harder than anyone else and gain more experience than anyone else.

That takes time.

Technical skills are developed through experience, and by studying what you’ve experienced, knowledge and skills become interconnected.

You'll master this by repeating it over and over again.

 

That's why time and quantity are important.

I think people who are good at their jobs take this for granted. (Or maybe I'm just imagining things, lol.)

In the end, it all comes down to whether you're going to do it, whether you can do it, or whether you won't do it.

As quantity transforms into quality over time, the quality continues to improve.

 

These days, it’s as if the government is trying to destroy Japan"Don't Work" PolicySince I'm doing that,

It's a bad idea for people who want to work.

Japan is going downhill more and more, but,

Regardless of all that, foreigners who aren't interns are working their butts off to make money, lol (like in the logistics sector, etc.).

When you're young, you just have to work as hard as you can, don't you?

Until something becomes clear from that perspective.

But these are times when that won't be tolerated...

(That said, those who are committed will keep at it, and they’ll keep climbing higher and higher.)

 

These really are tough times, aren't they?

I wonder what the future holds for Japan, the construction industry, and slope stabilization contractors.

Of course, I can’t speak for the government’s policy or overall stance, but,

I guess it’s up to us slope contractors to decide for ourselves how we want to do our jobs, though...

For example, could we use new construction methods to save time and improve efficiency?

I really wish they would change the law so we can somehow turn things around for Japan, which is growing weaker.

 

See you later.
