The mindset that allowed a high school girl with no part-time experience to overtake her seniors in 6 months

Hello. This is Toru.

In conclusion, a sense of enjoyment will
boost your growth at lightning speed.

At the store where I currently work,
there is a first-year high school student named Hosokawa who joined this year.
A petite high school girl who is 140 centimeters tall.


This girl. What was amazing
was from the moment she applied for the part-time job.


She came for the interview right after her entrance ceremony finished.
She had a small flower pinned to her chest.


Even for me, having conducted over 200 part-time job interviews,
I was truly surprised.
Coming for an interview on the very day of the entrance ceremony
was a first for me.


So, I asked her why she came
straight to the interview on the day of her entrance ceremony.

Then, she had a well-thought-out
plan.



It seems Hosokawa's family runs an izakaya.
But the reason she chose a part-time job
instead of helping with the family business was

because she wanted to earn money as a salary.
And she chose the store where I work,


which is the closest to her home and one she has frequented for a long time.

And what was amazing
was what happened after this.

Hosokawa thought that once things settled down a bit after entering high school,
other students would surely
start looking for part-time jobs too.

If that happened, the store she wanted to work at
might become full of part-timers,
and she might not get hired.

She thought she should get hired by the store
before that happened.

You could say she anticipated the actions of others
and gained the first-mover advantage.


And after joining the company, Hosokawa
grew rapidly.

Because she was a child who listened to explanations carefully
and put them into practice immediately,
the seniors teaching her seemed to put extra effort into it as well.


Before I knew it, in the six months since joining,
she had acquired knowledge and skills
equivalent to the leader-class seniors.

She had already overtaken the mid-level staff.


I wanted to know the secret to
why Hosokawa learned her work so quickly,
so I decided to observe her actions.

Then, I noticed that there were times when Hosokawa would suddenly
freeze while working.

When I peeked from the side,
I saw she was looking at some notes.

Hosokawa, who is 140 centimeters tall.
When she showed me her small, palm-sized notes,
I saw she had customized them
to make it easier for her to remember recipes and such.


At the store where I work,
manuals have been digitized,
and we are supposed to check them
on a site where all manuals are stored.

So, it seems Hosokawa makes a point of looking at the site
on her days off.

And apparently, she is
making her own manual.


Why would she make her own manual
at a part-time job,
and on her days off, no less?
I asked Ms. Hosokawa.



I was surprised by her answer.
Ms. Hosokawa
"Because I can't help but enjoy this job"
she replied with a smile.

And then,
"I just find myself wanting to be able to do more and more"
she said.

So she memorized the manual right away, and because she wants to learn new skills as quickly as possible,
she tries out everything she is taught
immediately.
I became convinced that this is why



Ms. Hosokawa's growth is so explosive.

When people enjoy something, they get absorbed in it,
and they learn it quickly.

That was exactly it.


I think many people in the world who are taking on a challenge
are doing so while dreaming of a future where they have grown.

Yet, along the way, they stop feeling that growth
and end up giving up.


I believe that even those who give up
were able to enjoy the challenge
at the beginning.


However, as time passes, their enthusiasm cools,
and they stop feeling
that they are growing.


That is why I think many people
end up giving up on their challenges halfway through.



If you are currently taking on a challenge,
and you stop feeling your own growth
or no longer know what to do next,
I recommend going back to the starting point.



And try to remember once again
the fun you felt
when you first started the challenge.


I am sure you will realize how much you have grown now,
and what you need to do next will become clear.
