    25 Japanese Habits to Live Better - Masaki Ishiguro

    Introduction

    Japan is based on fundamental principles that govern the behavior of its citizens. They are a series of intense values ​​that we are going to discuss in this book.

    For example, for them honesty is like the blood that runs through their veins, it is part of their culture that they behave with honor and decorum, an honest person will never betray his word, he would not do something behind the back of another that could cause him To a detriment, you would treat someone else's possessions in the same way that you treat your own. It behaves the same whether they monitor it or not, always looking for a fair treatment in which both parties benefit.

    They also have a lot of respect, they have that sense of treating everyone the same, no matter where they are from, religion or gender, it consists of speaking to them in a courteous way, always acting kindly, returning a smile, trying not to disturb others with acts, not putting one's own benefit before that of others.

    This is something that is very surprising to Westerners, when you see a conversation between two Japanese where they both bow to each other, all to show the great respect they feel for the person they are talking to.

    It consists of being able to give part of the time and resources to others with the objective of the common good. It is about not having attachments and not waiting for the action to be returned later. If something has been proven, it is that each of the natural disasters that Japan has suffered has always shown solidarity to help each other.

    In addition, all of them are humble, they know their own limitations and act according to that knowledge, they have the modesty not to believe they are in possession of the truth and the will to always aspire to continue improving without considering themselves already at the peak of knowledge.

    When you think humbly, the great masters of Japanese martial arts come to mind, many of them when they are complimented for their incredible gifts, they usually respond with a smile and a gesture that more or less means there is still much to learn to be able to be extraordinary . Even after training thousands of hours and spending a lifetime practicing martial arts, they are still learning.

    Another of the great habits of the Japanese is patience, for them it is the ability to wait without losing calm, to know how to choose the right moment to execute an action, to persist despite adversity, to get up every time they fall. , to respect that each one has its own rhythm.

    They are loyal people, with that ability not to break the word, even despite the fact that circumstances become adverse and changing, it consists of firm adherence to the people, institutions or organizations with which it has been desired to commit and for the which he watches despite personal interests getting in the way. Loyalty in Japan is palpable in the environment, especially in the corporate world.

    For example, in the tsunami of 2011, a company lost all its factories and had to work two years to rebuild, the companies with which it had a contract waited that long while it got back on its feet.

    Another great attribute is gratitude, it consists of appreciating what is good in life, it is the attitude of giving thanks for everything that has been received, thus recognizing the effort that others make for us, it is a way of life where we always it's about seeing the glass half full.

    The moment of gratitude is felt for possessions, even though some may own more. In Japan they say one word constantly: arigatou.

    We always seek to have harmony, this appears when we have balance with the things we have in life. It happens by having the sides of the balance at the same point of the events. At that moment things flow without complications. We feel a life full of harmony when there is health in human relationships, when we work for the well-being of others and our own. Japan is a place where a lot of harmony is achieved, there are practically no criminal acts, good customs are maintained and there is consensus when decisions are made that impact everyone.

    This that I have just narrated is just an introduction of what you will achieve in this book, of those habits that you could implement in your life. There are so many that we just chose the 25 elementals for you to know and appreciate.

    I will talk to you about kindness, kaizen, details, valuing time, having purposes, enjoying silence and many more.

    Discover the beauty of Japan and apply it in your life.

    Habit 1: Be kind to others and value the other

    Kindness is a quality of the human race, because being kind means that one is worthy of being loved, which is a cultural product of man exclusively. Being kind means being loving, affectionate, gentle, pleasant, helpful, personable and even funny and smiling, all qualities that are key in people from children to the oldest.

    Kindness is a virtue that facilitates interpersonal relationships in such a way that when it is present in everything, things become easier, more pleasant. Kindness is the fruit of a good education, which over time manages to mold the character making it without edges, capable of reconciling what is
