the ten cardinal Confucian virtues (justice, politeness, wisdom, fidelity and benevolence)
Created by Dentsu's 4th president Hideo Yoshida in 1951
1. Work should be created by oneself, not given to others. 。
2. [Work is about being proactive and working ahead.
3.Work with big jobs. Small jobs make you small.
4. Aim for the hard work, and progress is made where this is accomplished.
5.Don't let go once you've worked on it., Don't let go even if you're killed, until you've completed your objective. ......
6. Drag around the perimeter., Dragging and being dragged can create a gap between heaven and earth for a long time.
7. Have a plan, and if you have a long term plan, you will have patience, ingenuity, and the right effort and hope.
8. be confident, because without confidence, your work has no power, tenacity, or even depth.
9. The head must always be on a full tilt, mindful of all directions, and there must never be a minute lapse in service.
Don't be afraid of friction, Friction is the mother of progress and the fertilizer of positivity, or you will become mean and unrefined.
It was removed from the employee handbook in 2017 following an employee suicide, but I don't think those are essential in my opinion. [The effect of any code of conduct is different when you choose it yourself and when it is enforced by others.
Progress is made where difficult tasks are accomplished.
From long-term planning comes patience, ingenuity, and the right kind of effort and hope.
From confidence comes power, tenacity, and thickness.
What is work?
