Made in Japan: Akio Morita’s Autobiography

In 1946, amid the rubble of defeated Japan, a small group of college friends decided to go into business for themselves. Because of their engineering background and interest in high technology, their first product was a tape recorder. One of those young men was Akio Morita, who is now the chairman of the multinational Sony Corporation.

The son of a wealthy family of sake brewers, Morita had grown up in a relatively Westernized home, where early phonographs and Western music and recordings were appreciated. His interest in the techniques and problems of quality sound recording developed early and led to his pursuit of a physics degree at Osaka University. As eldest son, he had also been introduced to the world of his father’s business.

In the first half of the book, elements of autobiography and company history are intermingled. Technological changes and innumerable trips abroad to further the business (Sony was the first Japanese firm to license the transistor patents from Western Electric) receive equal time with anecdotes of family and friends.

The second half of the book consists of informal essays on topics such as personnel management; the differing corporate styles of East and West; the importance of competition; and Japan’s role in world trade. Export of American jobs overseas and the decline of the United States’ industrial base receive extensive attention, although Morita’s comments on the cause and cure are by no means original. Despite the difficulties which he foresees, Morita remains eternally optimistic about the future.

Dharma Mind Worldly Mind by David Smith

For the lack of a better word, any atheist can read this book by pretending it to think of this book on “anthropology” but not religion.

Although, reading a text book on Bodhisattva in Pali would take more than half a month even if you are a stoical reader like me(WPM 5-6 hundred above), so then I opted for a book written by a white author-David Smith-A regular adherent of zen-Buddhist culture.

Dharma Mind~Book deals with hedonistic approach of metaphysics and curiosity of human mind for the self awareness and realize from ego and self. It refers us as a warm-blooded, sensitive mammals who have predominant nature to lead the experiences of life. Also, the basics of the buddhism and zenism are clearly mentioned in support to make a person’s mind healthy in ethical context.

The Nobel Truths and the three jewels are described in a lofty way which circulates around the teachings of buddism. Myriad levels of practice on meditation, totality and equanimity are explained with relating instances gives the reader a better perception of living a life in the healthy way.

For a Beginner in this domain, I advice to not lose your common-sense whilst reading a book that is beyond your reach at once.

Reflections 2 ~

I think of my life has a certain meaning, paradoxically at the same time of being, it is meaningless.

- Albert Camus

According to The Athene’s theory of everything, the part of the human brain that conceives the sub atomic electrical signals  are significantly provoking the sub conscious of the state of Being that these signals suggests. If You haven’t got it in once, I meant to suggest that the paradox is harmful for your thought process and unless one wants a life full of chaos and desires to list yourselves with the great thinkers under the sun, you sure are most welcome here but not me.

Refer to the Poem “Snakes of Doubts” by Myself (Of-course :) ) , One either is able to live it with the delusional vivid called as “Life-full-of-colors”, or It can be led by the second fractal(the highway of absurdity). Either way you are absolutely right ‘coz It just doesn’t matter. If it matters to you, that is what its all about!

Conclusion: If you ask me, I believe the most extra-ordinary thing one can achieve in the life to live an ordinary life itself.

Within the context of Objectivism, I recall a short piece of a speech by one of the greatest philosophers that human mankind ever got, its okay to be feel the sadness of the lack, the gratefulness of the completeness but don’t do it at the same time as both of the things has their own significance and you are here to live not to analyze. Ultimately, after rigorous amount of practice and studies, you will end up doing the same work as an amateur teenager is supposed to do ie,. enjoying. Only thing that has to be taken care of is none else should not get harmed from any of your action, I don’t know HOW but in either way, it will come back. You call it karma, call it judgement, call it no-free-will. It can have many names as many people are here but the result will always be the same. Go Play!!

 

Reflections~

As this Adage goes:

“There are two ways of living up the life, First is: Nothing in this life is a miracle. Second is: Everything is.”

Einstein.

But, the problem acquired by the common people like you and me are not those great people’s adages, but the profound solution for it so as to declare where to submit upon it.

For that: Perseverance, Calculative Adjudication and Accordance with Priorities of Life processes is strictly needed. (For the believers of Camus’, please take a look upon Confucius’.)

Abstaining from everything you love or desire to have, only to make a self control is found to be claustrophobic effects in different personalities among them all who are looking for an overnight enlightenment.

Though, there is a tipping point on controlling the discipline in the way via, which the negative is to be eliminated at the minimal. If there are Onerous outcomes of the model that you have designed for your-own-self, than I might have to say it on your face that your model is Wrong. Take a look again, there should be some other way out, there will be..

What I refer by “Reflections” is intended to one self, this is the extension of the shadow that one looks onto while fasting forward..

Hold onto your horses for a while and think about the this little thing.

The marginal bank balance that is left after you die is of no significant value. But It is okay to have a Car that you love to drive/or to acquire, its okay to desire the perfect lunch plan with your friends and to have it whatever you want. Decide what matters the most instead of working god-damn hard just to make your neighbor jelly.
