Don't Lose to Majority Rule: Opportunities Lie Where You Are Different from Others
Good evening, everyone.
Thank you very much for choosing to read this among so many options.
Today, I will talk about "Don't Lose to Majority Rule: Opportunities Lie Where You Are Different from Others."
Japanese people are weak against majority rule...
Have you ever had an experience like this?
For example,
*️⃣ Proposing a new measure
↓↓↓
*️⃣ Many people opposed it...
↓↓↓
🙅♂️ Although I was confident in it myself, I gave up because there were many voices of opposition
Not limited to this example, everyone has likely had the experience of having many voices of opposition raised against something you thought, "This is great❗️"
This time, I will talk about how to stop losing to such "voices of opposition."
In conclusion,
✅【人と違う所にチャンスありです。
人と違う事をするには『反対の声』が必要なのです】Success requires "difference."
It is true that Japan has a culture of deciding things by majority rule.
But what I want you to consider here is,
🈁《みんなに『やめた方がいい』と言われてやめるので
あれば、自らチャンスを手離す場合もあります》For example,
Suppose there are 100 people at a lecture venue.
✳️ 99 people are in black suits
✳️ 1 person is in a white suit
Let's assume this.
↓↓↓
People around might look at them and think, "Why is that person wearing a white suit?"
↓↓↓
However, while everyone else is wearing black suits and their individuality is uniform,just by doing something different from others, like wearing a white suit, the speaker might approach them and ask, "By the way, why are you wearing a white suit?" and a business conversation might start from there
This person in the white suit might have told this to their
*️⃣friends
*️⃣family
*️⃣colleagues
and been told, "No, a white suit is just not right."
However,
🈁《人と違う事をしたからこそ、
この人はチャンスをモノにしたのです。
普通とは逆の選択をした事が大切なのです》It is the result of not losing to majority rule and believing in oneself.
The secret to success lies here.
How to turn voices of opposition into vitality
That said, to ignore "opposition" and stick to your guns,
✳️it is important to build confidence.
What is helpful here is
"developing the habit of doing things differently from others."For example,
✅ When everyone else is playing,
[You study intently]
✅ Precisely because no one else has done it,
[You dare to take on the challenge]
✅ Knowing that it is something others would normally find too troublesome to do,[You dare to execute it]
✅ Regarding things that everyone else says, "This is no good..."[You find something good about it and speak up]
This is just one example, but even just doing this can help you build the confidence not to lose to majority rule.
It is true that there may be "anxiety" in doing things differently from others.
However, if you accumulate these small steps, they will become a great strength in the future.
Finally, I leave you with these words.
They are the words of Larry Page, co-founder of Google in the United States.
If you think, "There is no way that kind of foolish thing can be done,"
it means there is almost no competition.
If you have an "opinion different from others," it means there is almost no competition.
Turn opposing voices into energy for yourself, and try believing in and sticking to your path.
I hope this article leads to your future growth.
In summary
1️⃣ Opportunities lie where you are different. Opposing voices turn into energy for yourself.
2️⃣ Sometimes, the opposite choice is necessary. To do that, cultivate the habit of doing things differently from others.
3️⃣ There is a chance for victory where you think, "That's ridiculous." If there is almost no competition, take action immediately.
🈁《多数決で『反対が多かったからやめた』はもったいない。
自分を信じて貫き通す事が何より大事である》
That is all.
I will post again on 6/18.
Thank you very much for reading until the end.
