A wonderful speech made me realize two secrets of life!

Are the chances and achievements of a person's life doomed?

10 years later, is my choice still correct?

What should I do next to lead to real happiness?

No matter how gorgeous life is, my legs are finally sticking out. What is the meaning of living?

I am over 40 years old, and I often think of these problems unconsciously. Especially after I started my business, I was like a ship leaving a smooth river and sailing alone to the endless ocean. Although the free and magnificent scenery makes me "unable to go back", these problems related to life choices are still like sea showers from time to time, which often sweep away without warning. Until the beginning of the year, I listened to an amazing speech and instantly untied the knot that bothered me.

"Why do people live?" -kazuo inamori.

Speaking of 83-year-old Japanese grandfather kazuo inamori, I was not familiar with him at first. I did my homework before the speech, only to know that he was honored as a "management saint" in Japan. In addition to founding Kyocera and KDDI from scratch (both of which are Fortune 500 companies), he is most praised for pulling 78-year-old JAL out of bankruptcy on 20 10 (when he retired and became a monk), and turning losses into profits on 20 12 and re-listing.

American entrepreneurs love to talk about "competitive strategy", while Japanese entrepreneurs emphasize "management philosophy". However, this speech is not about enterprise management, but about life management. At the beginning of his speech, kazuo inamori pointed out his understanding of this kind of life, and it was this sentence that made me suddenly enlightened. It is not too much to say that it is enlightenment. He said:

The so-called life is composed of two things: "fate" and "law of cause and effect"!

Destiny does exist, and each of us is controlled by our natural destiny. Some people are born rich, some people are born poor, and even the basic survival needs are difficult to meet. However, in addition to fate, there is another factor in life, which determines our life as much as fate, and that is the law of causality. What you plant, you get. Fate is the warp and cause and effect is the weft, which interweaves our life canvas.

The idea came into being when kazuo inamori was young. He read an ancient book in China, a silver article, which recorded the story of Yuan in the Ming Dynasty. When Yuan Lefan was young, he met a fortune teller who predicted that Yuan Lefan would die at the age of 53 and be childless for life. With fortune-tellers' predictions of fame and fortune coming true one after another, Yuan Lefan decided to listen to fate and live each day peacefully. But at the age of 36, Yuan Lefan met a monk named Yungu in the temple, and the two sides talked about speculation. Yuan Lefan told the monk about fortune telling. Jackson Yungu dismissed Yuan Lefan's negative attitude and suggested that his fate could actually be changed. As long as you actively do something, there will be cause and effect, and finally get out of a new situation. Yuan Lefan was encouraged and became kind and helpful. As a result, he lived to be 83 years old and gave birth to a son. At the age of 69, he also wrote "Four Disciplines" for his son as a family instruction. It is said that this book is highly valued by the Japanese, and it has also become a "treasure book of governing the country" for emperors and prime ministers of past dynasties. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't know this famous book until I heard a Japanese speech.

It turns out that life is controlled by both "fate" and "cause and effect". In fact, if you think about it carefully, most of the time our mood is at two extremes, either fatalism or over-optimism.

There are better-looking and smarter people in this world than we are. They have money at home and even have a good personality. This is just Hua Lun in real life. Normal people will inevitably fall into depression, so they have to shake their heads and say it's all fate! After all, no matter how hard these conditions are tried, it is impossible to catch up. If you are an entrepreneur like me, you are bombarded by members of the "Life Victory Group" every day. When you burn the midnight oil to pay employees' salaries and your uncertain dreams, thousands of young men in their early twenties have made a name for themselves, ready to open their nth company and launch their N+ 1 brand. "Maybe I'm not talented enough?" "It seems that I am destined to be an ordinary person?" I believe that every entrepreneur can't help but doubt himself in the dead of night. Should I believe in myself? Do you still believe in fate? To be or not to be, that's a question!

Compared with fatalism, believing in "free will" is the other extreme. When we succeed, everyone's focus is on us. For a while, we will be optimistic that I made the right decision and achieved all these achievements. Those Lu snakes who are not as good as me must have not worked hard enough to get into this field. I have mastered the key to success. As long as I continue to copy, I will achieve greater success.

In fact, excessive obedience to fate or blind belief in free will make life too simple. Kazuo inamori elaborated the complicated topic of life with fate and cause and effect, which was wonderful. The so-called fate, just like we are driving on the expressway, the time required from Taipei to Kaohsiung is almost doomed. As long as we stay on the road, traffic controllers, like fortune tellers, can accurately judge our arrival time according to factors such as the traffic at that time, the road ahead and the climate. However, we control the steering wheel. We can get off the interchange and take the provincial highway, get off and take the high-speed train, or even risk speeding and carry it on our shoulders. What causes were planted and what fruits were obtained? Outside the predetermined framework of fate, life still has options that we can control.

I aspire to be a model, but my height is less than 1.7 meters, and my appearance is not up to standard. This is fate, and it is hard to change the fact by blaming parents. But as long as you really have the heart, maybe one day you can become a fashion master, open a brokerage company and let groups of models work for you!

Kazuo inamori finally gave an interesting example. He said that the universe was just a fist-sized lump 654.38+03.7 billion years ago. After the big bang, it expanded continuously, which formed the present situation. He believes that the whole universe has a tendency to continue to develop in a good and prosperous direction. As long as we have a positive attitude, a kind heart and follow the trend, we as individuals and all mankind will get better and better.

I think this should be the most influential speech in my life so far, including 83 years of life experience and the wisdom of an entrepreneur. Recently, I received letters from several netizens about their difficulties in the workplace and life. I hope kazuo inamori's interpretation of life can inspire you as much as it touched me!
