Avoid shortcuts

大学毕业后不久，我去京都一家小型陶瓷公司工作。我与公司经营层发生争执，又受到工会的攻击，曾陷入孤立无援的境地。当时，我想象自己带领一个团队攀登险峻的高山。半途中，或许有人扭伤了脚，有人产生了畏怯情绪，有人失足跌入悬崖。上司常常劝我选择妥协。换句话说，就是规劝我选择较为平坦的登山道路，慢慢登上山顶。对上司的忠告，我作了认真的思考。但结果我仍选择走崎岖的路，作垂直攀登。我知道自己是一个脆弱的人。如果选择好走的路，慢慢地爬，在到达山顶之前，恐怕我已经放弃了。队友们由衷信任我，如果我选择安逸之道，他们会很轻松。但走这样的路，不能获得真正的幸福。坚信自己选择的是正道。不管途中多么危险，不管天气多么恶劣，我下定决心，直线登上顶峰。为了全员一起攀上山顶，我对别人对自己一样的严厉苛刻。2025.03.11 摘录自稻盛和夫《活法》贰第47页

随笔：

多么像是刚毕业爸妈劝我回家里考公务员走上一条编制的路，这条路对于我来说就是一条安逸之路，是一条一路无惊无险的安逸之路，但是这种活法不是我想要的，我想要的是实现财富自由和精神富足，我绝对不满足于仅仅满足一日三餐蜗居的拮据生活，我想要的是成为父母的骄傲，想要的是通过自己的努力带给爸妈更多的自豪，更多的满足，更多的幸福，我想要的是自我实现，是可以通过自己入社会之后的行为为自己的妻子孩子以及社会大众做出贡献，如此才不枉来这个世间走那么一遭！越发感谢俞敏洪老师，马云老师，稻盛和夫先生，李小龙等带给我的希望，勇气和力量，帮助我遇见一个又一个阻碍后坚持不懈努力精进，谢谢您们，谢谢所有的朋友和老师，谢谢您们对我的帮助，谢谢您们助力我的修行，谢谢，谢谢，谢谢！08:16

Shortly after graduating from university, I went to work for a small ceramic company in Kyoto. I was in dispute with the management of the company and attacked by the union, and I was left alone. At the time, I imagined myself leading a team up a steep mountain. Somewhere along the way, someone might sprain their foot, someone might get scared, someone might fall off a cliff. My boss often advised me to compromise. In other words, it is to advise me to choose a relatively smooth climbing road, slowly climb to the top of the mountain. I thought hard about my boss's advice. But in the end I chose to take the rough road and do vertical climbing. I know I'm a vulnerable person. If you choose a good way to go, climb slowly, before reaching the top of the mountain, I am afraid I have given up. My teammates really trust me, and if I take the easy way, it's easy for them. But you can't get real happiness by going this way. Believe you're on the right path. No matter how dangerous the journey was, no matter how bad the weather, I made up my mind to go straight to the summit. In order to climb to the top of the mountain together, I am as harsh to others as I am to myself. 2025.03.11 Excerpted from Kazuo Inamori, Living Law II, page 47

Essay:

How like my parents who just graduated advised me to go home to take the civil servant on a road of preparation, this road is a comfortable road for me, is a road of comfort and no danger all the way, but this way of living is not what I want, I want to achieve wealth freedom and spiritual abundance, I am absolutely not satisfied with just meeting the financial life of three meals a day. What I want is to be proud of my parents, and what I want is to bring more pride, more satisfaction and more happiness to my parents through my own efforts. What I want is self-realization, and I want to make contributions to my wife, children and the public through my behavior after entering the society, so that it is not worth going through such a bad time in this world! I am more and more grateful to Teacher Yu Minhong, teacher Ma Yun, Mr. Kazuo Inamori, Bruce Lee, etc. for bringing me hope, courage and strength, helping me to make unremitting efforts after meeting one obstacle after another, thank you, thank you all friends and teachers, thank you for your help to me, thank you for helping me to practice, thank you, thank you, thank you! 08:16
