THOSE who have climbed Mount Fuji worth mentioning the wise. However, they are worth the climb for the second time is called a fool. (Secret Japanese Proverb).
Fuji with elevations of 3776 meters is a symbol for the people of Sakura. The sacred mountain of the Japanese that means "immortality" This is a symbol of encouragement for Japanese people to continue to think creatively, especially when the state increasingly impossible.
This is why the Japanese one successful take over the world despite a mountain of flaws. The fact that Ann Wan Seng revealed in his book, Secrets of Japanese Business People: Learning from the Giant Step Nippon Mastering the World (published 2006).
In the book Wan Seng describes how the Japanese are small areas can physically beat those from the West. After the American atomic bomb Pierced in the heart of Japan in 1945, all economists at that ensures Japan will soon be bankrupt. However, the prediction was missed. In less than 20 years, Japan was able to get up and even rivaling that attacked the country's economy. Evidently, per capita income and standard of living of the people of Japan ranks second highest in the world. In the mid 1990s, gross national product (GNP) Japan reached USD37, 5 billion.
The Japanese are good at placing and manipulating all existing sources as possible. The Japanese fast and responsive action and do not wait for opportunities to come, but to find and create their own opportunities. Indeed, a major factor of success lies in the Japanese work ethic, creativity, and unyielding paradigm. The Japanese assessed diligent and optimistic. The principle of sincerity, strict discipline, effort, hard work and spirit (the spirit of bushido) Japanese people inherited from generation to generation.
The discipline of the Japanese people is associated with self-esteem (discipline Samurai). History proves, Japan is a resilient nation and never give up. Dozens of years under the Tokugawa empire that covers the access to overseas, Japan is behind in technology. When the Meiji Restoration (Meiji Ishin) came, the Japanese quickly adapt and be a fast-learner. Reduction of natural resources does not make Japan surrender. Besides being a net importer of petroleum, coal, iron ore and timber, as much as 85 percent of Japan's energy sources come from other countries, including my country Indonesia.
Series of disasters occurred in 1945, starting from the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan followed by losing the war, compounded by the massive earthquake in Tokyo. However, it turns out Japan is not exhausted. In the next few years Japan has managed to build the automobile industry and even the fast train (shinkansen). In fact, the ethos and culture of the Japanese people are not much different from other Asian nations such as China and Korea are also hard workers. However, why the Japanese are more successful and advanced in comparison to other Asian nations?
Apparently, the Japanese are able to sacrifice to work overtime without expecting payment. They feel more appreciated if given a task and challenging work. For them, if the production increases and the company got a big advantage, they automatically will get a reply in kind. In their minds and souls, just a desire to do the best possible job and devote all his commitment to the job. In 1960, the average working hours of Japanese workers is 2450 hours / year.
In 1992 the number was reduced to 2017 hours / year. However, the hours of work it is still higher than the average hours worked in other countries, eg the United States (1957 hours / year), England (1911 hours / year), Germany (1870 hours / year), and France (1,680 hours / years). Measure of the value and status of the Japanese based on the discipline of work and the amount of time he spends at work. In Japan, people who leave work faster is always given various negative stigma, regarded as non-essential workers, lazy, and unproductive.
Even the wives of Japanese people are proud when their husbands "workaholic" and not "crazy work". Because it is also a sign of a high social status. To expedite your work, the Japanese uphold the principle on time with order and discipline. Both elements were the basis for Japan's economic prosperity achieved to date. As the hero in Japanese folklore, the blind samurai Zatoichi, Japan should make sure everything, including people, always move quickly to deal with changes in the surroundings.
In addition, Japan's shame culture is also a significant contributing factor to success. Shame is the ancestral culture and the Japanese hereditary. Harakiri (suicide by plunging a knife into the stomach) becomes a ritual since the era of the samurai, when they lost the battle. Log into the modern world, a little discourse turns to the phenomenon of "resign" for officials involved in corruption or feel like a failure of duty. The Japanese also have a passion for life-saving in everyday life.
Excessive antikonsumerisme attitude is evident in many areas of life. Many Japanese people busy shopping in the supermarket at approximately 19:30. Has become commonplace that the supermarkets in Japan will cut prices by half in about half an hour before closing. In Japan, the average supermarket closes at 20:00. In addition, loyalty to make a career in a company's system running and neat. Very rare Japanese who moved jobs. They usually stay in one or two companies until retirement. No less important is the reading of Japanese culture.
In Japan at any densha (electric train), most of the passengers both children and adults are reading books or newspapers. No matter sitting or standing, many of which make use of time in densha to read. Another thing that is interesting is until now the Japanese are relatively avoid saying "no" when an offer from someone else.
