The Japanese restaurant “Hyakushokuya” doesn't hire passionate people. The first recruiter was someone who left out his resume. There are only three menus, and only 100 bowls are sold daily. It's simple, so you learn things in a week even if you're not an expert. Still, the average daily revenue is 130,000 yen. The book's title published by founder “Akemi Nakamura” is “Let's Reduce Sales.” Against performance-oriented management policies. They want reasonable management activities suitable for fractions without overdoing it. However, it was the best-selling company during the Covid-19 pandemic crisis. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Cotton needs 500mm of water to make cotton wool, and 1kg of cotton wool requires 8,500 liters of water to fill 40 baths. A fashion company can make a pair of jeans with this. It needs at least 2,700 liters of water to make a t-shirt. This capacity is sufficient for one person to use as drinking water for three years. Clothing consumption recently has increased by an average of 60% each year on Earth. The Aral Sea in Uzbekistan was the fourth-largest lake in the world but has now shrunk to one-tenth, as the river water was used to grow cotton as much as the increased consumption. Few people are worried about how my consumption will affect the global environment. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The way companies survive in a market where technology advances are active is not to make durable and long-lasting products, but to keep creating new models to survive. If the car companies make a car so sturdy that the customer has been riding for more than 30 or 40 years, the car company will fail. In manufacturing, product cycles are thus significant. If it is too short, it loses trust, if it is too long, the company is bankrupt. However, novices are trying to make them stronger. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

When dealing with others in good faith and suffering from the fact that the rules and methods of life they believed in are no longer accepted, you should doubt the “Good Samaritan Complex”. The more good a person is, the harder it is to realize that he is domesticated in a distorted framework. If you see people around you who don't want to take a disadvantage for others like you, or if you're angry and uncomfortable with that others don't show their sympathy for, you should look back to see if your goodness is a defense mechanism to protect you from hurt. The problem of Good Samaritan's lives is not with the attitude of life, but with the eyes of others too much. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

I meet a lot of entrepreneurs from very different fields. All of them have one thing in common. They do not know the nature and essence of their business. Especially in the case of technology-based enterprises, technology is seen as a means to make money. Surprisingly, however, it is often the case that building and managing human relationships, rather than technology, is the core of the business. By separating technology from customer management and collaborating with other business people, I can see an increase in their performance. Instead, they have to give up greed and start. Then their performance is proportional to the amount of patience. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Most entrepreneurs do not charge their customers for the cost of self-emotional work. However, some business owners charge (or commercialize) their emotions and bill clients. There are various methods for commercializing appraisals, such as charging by the hour, charging by difficulty, and charging by the choice of conditions (options). This is because no culture in real life converts emotions into money. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Few people know the ratio of “physical work” and “emotional work” in their jobs. The “beginner” is the person who receives payment for only physical work, the “medium” is the person who receives payment for physical and emotional work together, and the “master” is the person who receives payment for more emotional work than physical work. If you can't price the commodification of your emotions, you must live at a low added value. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
