<\/p>\nHello, everyone.<\/p>\n
This is Enta.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is a construction site from about 20 years ago.<\/p>\n
Since I was already using a digital camera (I was one of the first in this area to do so), this is a panoramic view I created by stitching together those photos.<\/p>\n
I remember that job site very clearly because it was such a struggle.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And I'm still on good terms with the general contractor for that project, lol.<\/p>\n
This was back when I was working at a major company\u2014a time when I was working my butt off.<\/p>\n
This site was also a disaster site designated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, but initially, the design was based solely on legal requirements.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Here is a photo taken before construction began.<\/p>\n
It's strung all the way to the last one, though (I couldn't find it, lol)<\/p>\n
This is the slope as originally planned, consisting solely of retaining walls.<\/p>\n
![\"Slope](\"https:\/\/norimen.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I think it collapsed because of the rain.<\/p>\n
That's when things got tough.<\/p>\n
While we were working on the redesign, we dismantled the rebar frames and stuff, and then we ended up digging by hand, lol.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Back then, there wasn\u2019t any equipment that could position heavy machinery on the slope using cables, so it was really tough.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
We closed the road at night using a 50-metric-ton crane to lift a mini backhoe and break up the material from above, followed by manual grading.<\/p>\n
Once the surface was completed, we conducted a cross-section survey, drew up the plans, and submitted them to the consulting firm.<\/p>\n
I remember being totally shocked when those really complicated drawings came back, lol.<\/p>\n
That was definitely one of the toughest jobs I've ever had! lol<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you look at it this way, it really is great to have historical data.<\/p>\n
At that time, the contract amount for a job that had originally been around 20 million had ultimately risen to about 40 million.<\/p>\n
Looking at the final monthly financial statements from back then, we weren't making much profit, were we? lol<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Looking at the data, I can\u2019t help but reflect on all the different experiences I\u2019ve had.<\/p>\n
Around that time, my decisions always ended up being...\"A Difficult Decision\"<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I went to that site\u2014which, at the time, was about a four-hour drive from Nagoya\u2014and,<\/p>\n None of the upperclassmen want to go, lol.<\/p>\n So, that's me.<\/p>\n Though when it comes to whether I made a bad decision here, I actually remember saying I\u2019d go based on this weird assumption that it was a workplace where the company wouldn\u2019t interfere\u2026 lol<\/p>\n It's so far away that no one comes lol<\/p>\n It\u2019s a choice that works out well for me, but looks difficult from the outside. (After all, someone has to go.)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But around that time, I figured, \"If no one else is going, I'll go!\"<\/p>\n If no one else is going to do it, I'll just do it myself!<\/p>\n That's what I was thinking.<\/p>\n Thanks to that, I met the general contractor and the subcontractors, and even now that I\u2019m on my own, I\u2019m still in touch with them.<\/p>\n The person in charge on site back then is now the president of that general contractor, lol.<\/p>\n This subcontractor would later grow to become an A-class general contractor in this region, lol (for a company that mainly acts as a general contractor).<\/p>\n And even now, I\u2019m still on good terms with that CEO, and I get along well with the employees there, too.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Where and with whom will you meet?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Whenever I meet someone who has an impact on my life, it\u2019s almost always in a difficult situation.<\/p>\n The importance of the people you meet when you're in a tight spot.<\/p>\n That relationship will last a long time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s truly a blessing that I\u2019ve been able to meet such wonderful people over the years.<\/p>\n I'm truly grateful.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When you choose a project that no one else would take on\u2014one where the odds are stacked against you\u2014the rewards you reap later on are immense.<\/p>\n It really shows that money isn't what matters most, doesn't it?<\/p>\n And when you make difficult decisions on your own, your personal growth increases tremendously!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Please take a look at the historical data, everyone.<\/p>\n How many people are currently influencing you?<\/p>\n What was it like meeting people on that challenging job site?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By acknowledging the past, we can understand our current situation.<\/p>\n The only relationships you can truly understand are your own.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n See you later.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello, everyone.
