Japanese culture values discipline, respect and the collective. Because of that, several Japanese concepts are used today in the West for inspiration in business and life. Ikigai (purpose in life) is the search for the sweet spot where we do what we love and do well, is useful to the world and provides a living. Kaizen (continuous improvement) expresses the power of small consistent actions over time. The Pomodoro technique provides structure for disciplined time management. Hara Hachi Bu teaches us restraint (in food, budget, energy). Soshin tells us to approach tasks with a beginner's mindset, with an open mind. Wabi Sabi is about embracing and finding beauty on imperfection and spare us from perfectionism. Gambaru keeps us focused so we don't give up facing challenges and obstacles. Applying these techniques in our life lead to a more inspired, focused, efficient, rewarding and productive life. #Ikigai #Kaizen #Pomodoro #HaraBachiBu #Soshin #WabiSabi #Gambaru #CareerZCast #Career
