To draw a picture well, you must practice frequently. To write well, you need to write a lot. Quantity surpasses quality. In some cases, improved skills or methods are necessary for growth and development. However, anyone aiming to achieve remarkable progress can only do so through extensive training and repetition. Notably, learning a foreign language is more about training than studying. Without diligent practice in speaking aloud, you will struggle to progress beyond a certain level. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In Japanese cuisine, sushi omakase is an approach where patrons rely on the chef’s curated menu and follow the sequence of courses without making personal selections. Since diners don’t choose their dishes, the chef must ensure that the flavors and quality of the ingredients are top-notch. A failure to meet diners’ expectations can spoil the experience of a wonderful meal. This process hinges on the chef’s confidence and the patrons’ trust. While the chef’s skills are crucial, they must also consider the diners’ eating habits, including their pace and frequency of intake, to create a pleasurable dining experience. Ultimately, successful commerce rests on mutual satisfaction, but it can only thrive if the recipients are truly content. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The Japanese restaurant “Hyakushokuya” doesn’t hire passionate people. The first recruiter was someone who left his resume out. There are only three menus, and only 100 bowls are sold daily. It’s simple, so you can learn things in a week even if you’re not an expert. Still, the average daily revenue is 130,000 yen. The book titled “Let’s Reduce Sales” by founder Akemi Nakamura addresses 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”

Kenichi Omae (大前硏一) is a Japanese economist. He confidently asserted that there are only three ways to change our lives: 1. Spending time differently 2. Changing where we live 3. Making new people. Making new decisions is the most meaningless. Doing all three simultaneously is “marriage and divorce” and “changing occupation.” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
