《The Mature You》 Having grown to today, what should I relinquish and what deserves keeping?
The mature you
Has things to relinquish
Endless heavy drinking
Boring trivialities
Uninteresting work
An unloving partner
Has things to gain
Confidence on the face
A smile at the lips
Calm within
Ease in the stride
Spring warms, flowers bloom
Grow resiliently
《Mindset at Work》 When I cannot necessarily choose my work, how can I still choose my attitude toward it?
In real life, the work we choose is sometimes beyond our control, but we are free to choose the mindset with which we approach it.
Values
Victory depends on intelligence, not physical strength
Success depends on effort, not miracles
Success is not about being dealt good cards; the key is whether you can play the bad cards in your hand well.
Forgo the easy, seek the difficult
Forgoing the easy and seeking the difficult is the shortcut to getting things done
Research that is not guided by customer demands is the way to create outstanding products
Persisting in doing the right thing, however difficult, is success
The team’s predicament
Great determination without clarity about the situation; many methods without a grasp of the facts
The inscription above: a headless fly
《Mindset and Action》 When hoping a team will do things well, how should managers care for their own mindset and the team’s?
The results of action depend on whether the mindset is good or bad
A good mindset can make people diligent, hardworking, and attentive
A poor mindset makes people complain, resist, and become passive
So if you hope to do things well, first adjust the mindset
This means not only your own mindset, but even more the team’s mindset
As a manager, your management focus should be managing mindset
Adjusting mindset requires the manager’s own pure original intention
A pure original intention
Will let you express genuine feeling
Will move the team
The simplest criterion for judging this original intention is “benefiting others”
《Plan Quietly, Unseen》 In acting over the long term, how can I retain vitality without being carried away by emotions and delusions?
Plan quietly, unseen
Win consistently without contention or waste
Stand through the years
Still, yet never vulgar
Keep the delicacy of early spring
Do not ask where you are going
Do not be trapped by former years
Do not fear the days ahead
Brew a pot of moonlight
Pour it over a thorny road
Life turns in a thousand ways
If all is well
Sun or rain matters not
Do not magnify emotions
Do not nurture delusion
The wind is quiet
People should be full of morning vitality
《Turn Wishes into Tasks》 What arrangements must be made clear for a wish to become action?
Turn a wish into tasks, responsible people, deadlines, and feedback.
《Take One Step, Then Adjust》 Instead of waiting until everything is clear, can I first complete one minimal action?
Complete the smallest feasible step first, then adjust the next step according to the result.
