Be a simple and happy ordinary person（3）

Ryunosuke Akutagawa, a keen sensibility and art supremacist, once said, "To be happy in one's life, one must begin with the daily trifle." You don't have to worry about not understanding this sentence, just take it literally. Life is really made up of a lot of trifles. But just because it's trivial, most of us don't care about it or even remember it. However, to love these little things and to do them well requires considerable effort and ability.

We can often find this kind of person in the company. They look rather simple and down-to-earth, without any extraordinary ability to put it bluntly, but they are able to do things in an orderly way, and to move up the ladder.

'Why should a man like that be a manager?

"Perhaps it is because he is so ingratiating!

Thinking like this is absolutely wrong. That's because they're good at handling corporate trivia. On the other hand, those who are successful at the moment are often forgotten in the end, because although they are quite eye-catching, their contribution to the company is not as good as those who are good at handling trivial matters.

Being ordinary is a very positive and meaningful state of mind, because as long as you put aside your own demands on life, you will no longer be picky and happy to accept the reality of the complex trifles.

From this we can find a truth of life. If you feel that you are not particularly outstanding, then try to be as ordinary as possible, do the trivial things well, because more than 90% of the business of the company and life are boring. If you can do those little things well, then you will be as highly regarded as those who are competent.

Never underestimate these trifles. Sometimes they may be the key to changing history. By then you may become an unwitting hero. Hideyoshi was recognized by his master, nounaga, for the trifle of warming his sandals.
