10 Japanese success keys

1. Work Hard

It is the secret that the Japanese nation is hardwork. The average employee work hours in Japan is 2450 hours / year, is very high compared with the United States (1957 hours / year), UK (1911 hours / year), Germany (1870 hours / year), and France (1680 hours / year) . An employee in Japan can produce a car in 9 days, while officials in other countries need 47 days to make the car worth the same. A worker can be said Japan can do the work usually done by 5-6 people. Home quickly is something that can be said "quite disgraceful" in Japan, and shows that the employees included "not required" by the company.

2. Shame

Shame is a cultural and ancestral heredity nation of Japan. Harakiri (suicide with a knife thrust to the stomach) to the ritual since the era of samurai, that is when they lose and fight. Log in to the modern world, little phenomenon changed to "stand down" for officials (ministry, politicians, etc.) involved in the problem of corruption or failed to perform its duty feel. Negative effect is probably the children of primary school, junior high school who sometimes suicide, because the value is ugly or does not increase the class. Also because of shame, the Japanese prefer to choose a detour rather than the driver behind the cut line in the middle of the road. They were ashamed of their environment when they violate the rules or norms which have become a common agreement.

3. Saving

Japanese people have the spirit in daily life sparingly. Anti-consumerism attitude this seem excessive in different areas of Japanese life. Many people shopping in the supermarket at around 19:30 hours. A careful critical, in fact it has become a regular on the Japanese supermarket that will be cut to half price at the time about a half hour before closing. Supermarkets such as that known in Japan average closed at 20:00.

4. Loyalty

Loyalty system to make a career in a company is run and the neat. With a slightly different system in the United States and Europe, is very rare Japanese who moved jobs. They usually stay on one or two companies until retirement. This may be the implications of Industry in Japan that most would only accept fresh graduate, who then train their students and
themselves according to the company's core business.

5. Innovation

Japanese inventor is not the nation, but the Japanese have a surplus in the process and findings and spread in the form of a demand by the public. Interesting to read the story of Akio Morita Sony developed the legendary Walkman. Tape not found Cassete by Sony, a company owned by Phillip Electronics patent. But who has developed a portable and bundling model as a product during the boom years is tens of Akio Morita, founder and CEO of Sony at that time. Until 1995, there were more than 300 walkman model of birth and the amount of total production reached 150 million products. Assembly techniques are also four-wheeled vehicles are not created Japanese, patent owned by the United States. But Japan was able to develop with vehicle assembly industry inovation that is faster and cheaper.

6. Abstinence surrender

History proves that the Japanese nation has resistance and never surrender country. Tens of years under the Tokugawa empire close all access to other countries, Japan is very behind in technology. When the Meiji restoration (Meiji ishin) came, the Japanese quickly adapt and become a fast-learner. Poverty of natural resources also does not make Japan surrender. Not only importer petroleum, coal, wood and seeds of iron, even 85% of Japan's energy comes from other countries, including Indonesia. Indonesia is reported that the supply of oil, then 30% of Japan will run into darkness. Sequence disaster occurred in 1945, starting from the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, lose the war, followed by Japan, and including with the big earthquake in Tokyo. In fact Japan is not exhausted. In the next few years Japan has been successfully developing the automotive industry and even fast train (shinkansen). May be quite startling how Konosuke Matsushita and the business nearly destroyed from electronic equipment business in 1945 are still able to crawl, starting from zero so that the industry to build a kingdom in the era of businessn in this time. Akio Morita also initially laughable when people offer a product that pretty Cassete Tape to various other countries. But eventually be legendwith his Sony Walkman. Which is also quite unique that the science and theory in which people must learn from failure is formulated in Japan began with the name shippaigaku (science of failure).

7. Reading culture

Do not be surprised if you come to Japan and into densha (electric train), most of the passengers both children and adults are reading books or newspapers. Do not care to sit or stand, many who have used the time to read in densha. Many publishers began to create a manga (image comic) for the materials the school curriculum in both elementary, junior high and high school. Subject History, Biology, English, etc. are presented with interesting interests that make people see the higher. Read Japanese culture is also supported by the speed in the process of translation of foreign books (English, French, German, etc.). Perhaps say legend translation foreign books have been commenced in the year 1684, as built institute translating and growing up to modern times. Usually translated Japanese books are available in a few weeks since foreign books published.

8. Cooperation Group

Culture in Japan do not accommodate individualistic works. Including claims of employment, usually intended for a team or group. This phenomenon not only in the world of work, the condition of the campus with a research lab is also such a task subjects are also usually in the form of the group. Working in groups may be one of the biggest strength of the Japanese. There is anekdot that "1 the Japanese professor will lose one professor with the United States, only 10 United States professors who will not be able to overcome the 10 people who collect Japanese professor." Consensus or agreement is often called the "rin-gi" is a ritual in the group. Strategic decisions must be discussed in the "rin-gi".

10. Keep Tradition & Respect Parents

Technology and economic development, Japan does not make the nation lose the tradition and culture. Culture of women who have been married for not working and there is still alive to this day.

Until now the Japanese are relatively avoid saying "no" for when people get a bid from another. So we must be careful in association with the Japanese people as "haik" not necessarily "yes" for the Japanese tradition is the ancestor of Agriculture and important assets in Japan. Competition because of the entrance of Thailand and the United States cheaper, not menyurutkan steps the Japanese government to protect the farmer. It is reported that the land be agricultural land to get a significant tax reduction, including some incentives for those who still survive in the world of agriculture. Japanese agriculture is one of the highest in the world.

10. independent

Since early age children are trained to self. independent since they are trained pre school (yochien). they should bring 3 large bags containing clothes change, Bento (lunch pack), replace the shoes, books, towels and a bottle of water that hang on his neck. Yochien in every child be trained to bring their own equipment, and is responsible for his own goods. Release of high school and enter college almost did not ask most of the cost to parents. students rely on part time work to pay for school and everyday life. Even if the money runs out, they "borrow" the money to the parents that they will return in the next month.
