The Art of War(Sunzi)

 1. Trust is important.


A wise ruler must completely trust the general's sense of reality, and must show this trust as a guarantee of the position, empowering the general.

When requesting something, there are people who do not trust that person or who must see it in person.

However, if you control several things by yourself, there are bound to be limitations.

For example, when running a company, there are various departments such as finance, sales, marketing, technology, and human resources, so when the company is small, the CEO must make all the choices for the department, but as the company grows, it becomes impossible to look after all of them.

That is why I think each department should demonstrate its own abilities and trust and operate the person in charge of that department.

In the end, when the scale of decisions regarding the operation of the company grows, it cannot be done alone.

People should come together to think about and discuss various issues, and come up with better results so that they can make better choices.

The final decision maker (CEO) ultimately trusts the person in charge of each department and sets a good direction so as not to be biased or make wrong decisions. I think that the company or country is well managed when they trust the person in charge of each department.


2. It is important to recognize and work with talent.


The content is that ruling the world is not something that can be done by just being good at one thing, but by leading excellent talents in various fields.

As a representative example, we can cite Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. Xiang Yu was excellent at battle and strategy, but he fell because he was not good at leading the excellent talents around him, and Liu Bang was not good at battle and strategy, but he was excellent at managing talents.

As you can see in the book, Sun Tzu reminded us of the importance of people.

There is a saying that 'one loach muddies the whole pond.'

One bad person can tarnish the image of a department or company or cause problems, and one excellent person can make a department or image stand out even more.

Each person is important, and I believe that being able to lead talented people well is also a great ability.

I believe that the ability to recognize and lead talented people well is an important part of living in the world.


3. That is why people are the most important.


You must be intoxicated by people and find out the enemy's situation.

I think that accurate information is very important in life.

I believe that the role of spies in the past was very important.

Now, thanks to the development of SNS and the Internet, you can find out what is happening anywhere in the world, but in the past, you had to simply ask to find out information about the current situation.

It took a long time and was passed down through word of mouth, so the reliability would have been low.

Of course, the reliability of current information is often low, but in terms of speed, it is the fastest information that can be obtained in the past era.

Therefore, in order to obtain accurate information, I think that experience and reliability in the field are very high, whether in the past or present.

In order to obtain accurate information, communication with the field is essential, and each person has their own know-how, so I believe that it is important.

In an age of overflowing information, it takes a lot of effort to obtain correct and reliable information. Don't be fooled by the information of people you don't know, but do your own research and, if possible, get good information through communication with actual workers, and make good choices based on that.

God delusion(Dawkins, Richard)

  1. It is the role of science to let us know the facts. Mystics rejoice in riddles and wish for them to remain mysterious. Scientists rejoice in riddles for a different reason: they give them something to do. mobile e-book: 320p In the past, humans practiced totemism, animism, and shamanism, offering sacrifices to improve the weather, performing rain rituals, or, as in the legend of mantou from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms where twenty head-shaped buns were offered to a river god to calm its waters, taking various measures to appease the wrath of gods through sacrifice. However, because science has developed, modern humans can now predict, to some extent, why weather phenomena like the rainy season and typhoons occur and where they will strike. We can even induce rain through artificial rain technology. Thus, when we are ignorant of the facts, things may seem miraculous and be seen as the work of gods, but once we know the facts, we can understand them. It seems that humani...

Parenting from the Inside Out(Daniel J. Siegel, Mary Hartzell)

  1. Let's Reflect on Ourselves "When you pay attention to your own experiences when you get angry at your child's behavior, you begin to realize how much your reactions have interfered with an ideal relationship with your children." (e-book p. 70) There are moments when I get particularly angry at a specific behavior of my child. I ask myself, "Why does this action make me so angry?" and "Why am I reacting so sensitively?" I reflect on whether I, too, received negative feedback for the same behavior in the past. By contemplating my anger and looking back at my past, I come to understand the root cause of my sensitivity to that particular action. I realize that my specific reactions are also responses stemming from past experiences. Therefore, to change my behavior, I must first acknowledge the origin of my reaction and then consider how to change. Through this process, I can restore my bond with my child and achieve deep self-reflection. My ingr...

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success(Carol S. Dweck)

  1. Life Is Yours "It is your chosen perspective that determines whether you can become the person you want to be and realize the value of your life." Mobile e-book: 27p Even when faced with the same situation, everyone reacts differently. I believe that life's outcomes are ultimately determined by our own choices. I think our current state is a result of our past choices. For instance, writing this book review is a consequence of my past decision to read the book. And my improving writing skills (though still lacking) are a combination of past writing experiences before starting the blog, plus the experience of writing more and more since starting the blog. This has led to the current result where I can now quickly write a book review in 1-2 hours (and marking important lines while reading helps reduce time spent on quotes). Similarly, your current state is a product of your accumulated past experiences, efforts, and trials and errors. No one is good from the start. Wha...
