One of the manager’s tasks is to motivate subordinates. Subordinates are human beings, and sometimes they are motivated to work, and sometimes they are not. When a subordinate is unmotivated, if he or she receives appropriate words from the supervisor, those words can be a catalyst for the subordinate to become more capable of doing his or her job.

No matter how drunk Japanese salarymen get after drinking at a bar, they still come to work the next day. Even in meetings, they do not show any signs of sleepiness. This is a sign of their professionalism and determination as salarymen.

Many businessmen pretend to be busy in the world. If you are not busy, you may be considered useless by others. But I believe that to be busy is shallow.
