Just two days ago, I heard the news of the death of Mr. Kazuo Inamori, and my heart was very heavy, because he was a very respected male god of mine. In the past, when my life was very difficult, his book gave me solutions and accompanied me through this difficult time.
He is a famous entrepreneur in Japan, the founder of Kyocera, and now the honorary president of Kyocera.
The reason why he is called "the saint of management" and "the teacher of life" is that on the one hand, he can do anything to achieve the top of the pyramid, for example, JAL, which is about to go bankrupt, after his operation, quickly turned a loss into a profit; For example, the chemical company he worked in his youth was about to go out of business if it was not well managed, but in order to save the company, he taught himself relevant professional knowledge, studied day and night, and finally conquered the most difficult technical problems...
On the other hand, his business management approach is sought after by many entrepreneurs around the world. For example, he wrote "Living Law", "Dry Law", and "Heart".
He was born in 1932 in Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, to a family of six siblings. After graduating from college, he was an ordinary technician, engaged in precision ceramics research related work, at that time he could not imagine that he would successfully start two Fortune 500 companies in the future, his only thought was: "I should believe that I have a bright future, and live with hope." ”
So he immersed himself in his work, and finally his research results achieved commercial success, with the help of others, he founded Kyoto Ceramics Co., Ltd. (now Kyocera Co., Ltd. of Japan) at the age of 27, and Nippon Telecom Co., Ltd. (now KDDI) at the age of 52, these two companies are the Fortune Global 500 companies he founded, and the only entrepreneur to start two Fortune 500 companies.
At the age of 78, he was appointed president of Japan Airlines Co., Ltd. to go bankrupt and reorganize the company, and 400 days later, a miracle occurred, and JAL turned a profit of 188.4 billion yen, directly creating JAL history.
It is enough to prove that powerful people, in any industry and in any field, can play a dazzling light.
Kazuo Inamori once said in his autobiography: "Life is so turbulent, never know what will happen in the future." There will be enviable luck, but also unexpected failures and tests. However, it is not good luck or bad luck that determines life, but the state of our hearts. The more difficult and difficult it is, the more we must not lose our hope; And when it comes to success, we must not forget the heart of gratitude and humility; Maintain a positive attitude, start with what you can do in the moment, concentrate and do your best. As long as people have this mentality, they can regain their strength at any time. ”
Because of his great business success, his business philosophy made many people want to learn, and he founded "Shenghe Juku", through which he taught business philosophy to young business leaders about his experience and ideas, as well as specific management methods. It includes amoeba management, twelve operations, six refinements and so on.
There are six of the six perseverances: 1. Make no less effort than anyone else 2. Be humble and don't be proud 3. Reflect every day 4. Be alive, be thankful 5. Accumulate good deeds, think altruistically 6. Don't have emotional troubles.
In my wealth reading club, there is the book "Living Law" by Kazuo Inamori, which I actually read a few years ago, but I didn't read it seriously, because my friend sent it, I began to read it carefully, and I began to find that this book was really different from what I imagined.

Reading this book many years ago when you have not encountered difficulties, you feel that it is just an ordinary novel, but when you read this book once you encounter all kinds of difficulties, you will find out how this book is all a solution to difficulties.
When I was reading at the time, I found that Mr. Kazuo Inamori's life was also very magical, from a very ordinary skilled worker to the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, from a penniless professional to the first person in the history of saving Japan Airlines' huge financial crisis.
At the same time, he was able to establish his system and methods of ShengHe Juku, to make all his practice concepts public, and to share Amoeba's business management methods with the world.
So you see he's not only an entrepreneur, he's also a business manager, and most importantly, he's also a thinker, an educator, and he can share a lot of educational ideas with people, and that's what I admire about him.
That's when I started flipping through a specific section of his book.
I remember in 2020, when I re-read the book "Living Law", I still wrote a few golden sentences from Mr. Kazuo Inamori on the study board in front of me. One of them is what I wrote in 2020: Provide value to at least one person every day.
In the past, I often felt that I was saying that what I was doing every day, I gained more for myself, but slowly I will find that you have lost more because you have not tried to understand the wisdom of loss and gain in the I Ching, in fact, the wisdom of loss and gain are balanced.
I remember that the Tao Te Ching once talked about the Heavenly Dao in this way, saying that "the Way of Heaven has more than enough to make up for the deficiencies, and the Way of Man is insufficient and there is more than enough to serve," which talks about the secret of the Heavenly Dao.
It is said that man should conform to the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao will always subtract from those parts that have more people, and then make up for the parts that are less than human, but humanity is different.
The way of man is sometimes to get something that is insatiable and wants to get more, and the poor people are more and more poor, and this is the difference between humanity and the way of heaven, so everything revolves around the way of heaven.
At that time, I was thinking that I would gradually gain more with my own entrepreneurship, and whenever I gained more, I should have a responsibility, that is, to give more people around me, or to give more warmth to some unrelated strangers.
When I wanted to understand this matter, the first thing I did was to do a lot of public welfare and donations, and I said that there was no way to compare with the large number of well-known entrepreneurs, because after all, my own ability was limited, and the large number of specifics I said was the number of public welfare that I hoped to carry with my personal strength.
In the past, many predecessors who did business said that when a young person did not earn money himself, he did not think much about doing public welfare, and I personally did not agree with and understand it.
I would even think that some students should not do public welfare even when they are not financially independent, because you are spending their parents' money. I personally very much disagree with this statement, because I would think that saying that the heart of the public is the wisdom of a person, and when you are living well, you should consider some people who have a bad life.
What you do can give these people warmth, society is a big family, they are generally balanced and common upward development, so as to achieve a win-win situation.
