IKE'S PRINCIPLES - tools to build the 5 successful traits
*Share in other’s joy
2. RELENTLESSLY SEEK NEW EXPERIENCES
“Novelty seeking is one of the traits that keeps you healthy and happy
and fosters personality growth as you age” - Robert Cloninger
3. YOU DON’T THINK WORK-LIFE BLANCE. YOU JUST THINK LIFE.
*Successful people find ways to include family without excluding work.
Most of the younger generations choose not to work the long hours the
first and second generation Japanese worked to get ahead but
freedom means we have the opportunity if we choose.
4. KNOW SUCCESS IS FLEETING - KNOW DIGNITY LASTS FOREVER
*EXUDE RESPECT AND DIGNITY. Despite all the discrimination and
incarceration experienced by Japanese and Japanese Americans, I am
proud of how we kept our dignity and respect.
5. YOU DON’T THINK YOU’RE SPECIAL
*Successful people reap the benefits of humility.
*BE HUMBLE - spending some time at the Japan Fair in Bellevue, I can
see this trait is embraced by our Japanese Heritage almost to a fault,
but I am pleased to learn to practice this value, growing up in America
where it is a choice.
This list comes from an article in businessinsider.com. My interest in this list is that I am a champion of the good Japanese Heritage values that I want to pass on to my grandchildren here in America.
My great grandpa came to America first in 1897 because he wanted his sons to have the economic and social opportunities here in the USA that he felt were not available in crowded and depressed Japan. Wherever one lives, keeping the good values make a difference in a fulfilling life.
