Good evening everyone.
The holidays are finally here.
And last week was finally over.
For me personally, last week was a week of extreme hurdles.
I wish I could tell you about it, but circumstances prevented me from doing so.
Maybe one day I will be able to tell you about it.
And as for the results, I did see one good settlement.
Let me stop telling further here for today.
Last Saturday I visited the grave of my parents and ancestors in Saitama City.
It was that day because I could not go there during the Higan.
My elder sister was busy, so I went alone.
It was also a way to thank my parents and ancestors for watching over me to make last week and other harsh days bearable.
Although the wind was strong, it was a good day to visit the cemetery.
To avoid the heavy traffic on the Noda Bridge (downbound direction) on the way back, I took Route 16 into Noda for the first time in a while. (Correct choice!)
I saw the announcement that the size limit for FC2 blog attachments is now 3MB per file. (Previously, it was 2MB.)
In the case of image files, 2MB would have been sufficient, so I don't think this will have much impact.
But for audio files, the difference is quite significant.
2MB is, in effect, up to about 2 minutes.
If you coarsen the sound, we can make even 2MB as long as we want, but the sound quality will be unbearable to listen to.
When I, for example, make multiple recordings, it is rare for a song to fit in 2 minutes, so I have had to arrange and shorten it.
I am grateful that I can now afford to do so.
Even until now the limit has been 5MB if we contract the charged plan.
The other day, the NHK Special TV program focused on the former Bank of Japan Governor Kuroda and provided an easy-to-understand review and analysis of the BOJ's monetary policy to date since he took office.
In the end, I think, the large-scale monetary easing made sense in some parts, but failed to come up with a mechanism to grow the economy itself, which is the key point.
The "third arrow (growth strategy)" as Abenomics appealed, was talked about a lot, but I think it could hardly be demonstrated in concrete terms.
Now to the main topic.
Lately, I can't help but feel that when it comes to work or doing something that isn't work, it is more difficult to do than in the past.
One of the reasons for this may be the fact that there are limitations to communicating and discussing anything even remotely complicated via email or chat, but apparently that's not the only reason.
In order to grow and develop, whether at work or elsewhere, we must (of course) take the steps of proposing new ideas to others, asking for their agreement, and gaining their cooperation.
In order to make this step fruitful, both the proposer and the recipient should explain (and listen to) the key point of the proposal as clearly as possible, fully respect the other party's position, make a feasible action plan, and commit to implementing it one by one.
Recently, however, I have the feeling that something a little different tends to happen.
For example
Have been listening to the other person's proposal with interest at first, but after that, just let it slide.
Tend not to consider the other person's point of view or thoughts.
Be easily bothered by small things and tend to think negatively about things.
Of course, I am not only talking about others, but also about myself.
I think the reason for this is because we are in an era of zero growth.
When the economy was growing steadily, there was a common understanding of the growth picture, so everyone was thinking in a similar way, and since there was more leeway anyway, it was easier to accept other people's suggestions.
Now, however, the total growth is zero, so if someone grows, that means someone else has to take a dent.
And since we have little room, we have no recovery way if we make a dent by accepting someone else's novel proposal.
Also, there is a pretty deep divide between salaried workers and private business persons.
Also, in this LGBTQ age, I am of course not prejudiced, but it seems that what men and women value in the way they work may be quite different, which may be biologically inherited (or perhaps acquired) gender differences.
At any rate, I look forward to the day when such individuality will be alive and well, when we can constructively evaluate each other's new proposals and engage in healthy communication.
