子は親の背中をみて育つ
先日、私が尊敬する大先輩の還暦のお祝いの会を開きました。６０歳を迎えたわけですが、とても若々しくて、元気です。そして仕事ができる人は家族もいいと感じました。その尊敬している方の娘さんのお話をお聞きしました。娘さんは、日曜日もなく一生懸命働いているお父さんの姿をみて、男の人は仕事を通して家族を守る、一方女の人は家庭を守ると、自然に教えられたそうです。子供は自然と背中を見て、自然とその姿から様々な考え方、生き方を勉強します。子供は親の背中をみて、行動をみて育っていきます。生きた道をしっかり子供に背中で伝え、先祖の想いを子孫に架け橋してください。人生の一つの大事な使命です。
社員が朝礼で多くの報告を行います。それのひとつひとつをしっかりと聞き、問題に気づいていかなければなりません。ただボーっと聞いていたのでは困ります。聞き方、見方によって、様々な発見ができるはずです。気づきです。気づきの積み重ねで人は成長をします。ひとつ気づけば、それが次へ、次へとまた繋がっていく。いつも言っていますが、気づきがなくなれば、成長はそこで終わりです。様々なことに目を向け、考える習慣をつけてください。一人ひとりが生きがい、やりがいを見つけるため、自分の成長のための勉強です。
Chip Off the Old Block
The other day I attended the 60th birthday of a senior that I deeply respect. Despite having turned sixty, he is still very youthful and energetic. During the party, his daughter spoke about what she had learned watching her father, a man who worked tirelessly even on Sundays. Watching her parents, she realized noticed that men protect their families by working hard at their jobs while women care for the family from home. Listening to his daughter’s speech, I felt that those who work hard will have good relationships with their families as well.
Children naturally pick up ways of thinking and living by watching their parents and how they act. Therefore, please be vigilant in how you live and through your actions communicate to your children your values, therein creating a link between past and present generations. This is one of life’s greatest missions.
At yesterday’s morning assembly, employees heard a number of reports. It is vital that we listen closely to each report that is given and notice the problems around us. Simply listening abstractly or vaguely is not enough. Opinions are created according to how we hear or view something. Pay attention for it is through doing so that you will grow as a person. By paying attention to just one thing at first, you will then notice more and more things. I have said this countless times before but let me say it again: personal growth ends when you stop paying attention. Therefore please make it a habit to pay attention to what is around you and to think about what you see. This is for the benefit of your own personal growth as well as the lives of those around you.
Looking at him, I felt that those people who work hard have good relationships with their families as well. AS I listene
