The criterion for choosing someone who will "develop the industry."\n\sReferral as a means of reducing mismatches, and the importance of being chosen\n\n\sIn contests and other types of selection processes, being "chosen" is common, but what are the criteria for choosing someone? It is assumed that the person being chosen does not want to bear the responsibility of being selected (someone who won't do anything weird), but those with a certain degree of social awareness are less likely to mess up. It seems that there are almost no cuts at present, but in cases where everyone is too bad, sometimes being "chosen" is unavoidable, I think, haha. As a winning strategy, it ultimately only comes down to whether "this person's selection will benefit the entire industry." In communities where the organizers (those who choose) are focused on diversity, being young is a chance by itself due to the message being sent out that "we are taking young people." It is important to think about what kind of message you are sending out and why you exist. When I was invited to the retirement party for the CNET editor-in-chief, I was introduced to many people with the phrase "this person raised tuition fees through crowdfunding to enter N school, and then they were featured in our interview and went viral." It was quite close to Being chosen, taking a position, being nominated. Being young comes with such a bonus, and depending on the location, it can send out Meaning. The Meaning itself is "being young alone has value." \n\nI used to think "I must be amazing to receive an award each time," when I was young, but as an adult, my thinking changed to "Who should I praise to expand this industry?" / #Daily short writings｜Yoichi Ochiai｜note https://note.com/ochyai/n/n285397fdac8b]
