It is no secret that Japan is a nation of hard workers. Average working hours employees in Japan is 2,450 hours / year, is very high compared with the United States (1957 hours /year), Great Britain (1911 hours / year), Germany (1870 hours / year) and France (1680 hours /year). An official Japan can produce a car in 9 days, while officials in other countries require 47 days to make the car worth the same. A Japanese workers can be do the work usually done by 5-6 people. Home quickly is something that to be "quite disgraceful" in Japan, and indicates that the officers, including the not required "by the company.
2. same
Malu is the ancestral culture and the Japanese people from generation to generation. (suicide with a thrust knife to the stomach) to the ritual since the samurai era, when they lose and fight. Entrance to the modern world, little changed phenomenon to "stand down" for officials (ministry, politicians, etc.), which involved problems of corruption or failed to feel duty. Possible negative effects of children's elementary school, junior high, which sometimes suicide, because the value is bad does not rise or class. Because ashamed also, the Japanese prefer to choose a detour of the drivers behind the cut line in the middle of the road. They embarrassed
to the environment if they violate the rules or norms that have become general agreement.
3. Scrimp
Japanese people have the spirit of frugal living in Carey. no-consumerism attitude of excessive. This visible in the various fields of life. In the early start of life in Japan, I once great surprise to many Japanese people crowded shopping in supermarkets around the clock at 19:30. After some investigation, it has become a regular thing that supermarkets in Japan will cut the price to halve the time about a half hour before closing. As
Supermarkets in Japan that the average closed at 20:00.
4. Loyalty
Loyalty system to make a career in running a company and fit neatly. Few with a different system in the United States and Europe, Japanese people rarely move the switch - job. They usually survive on one or two companies until retirement. This may be the implications of the industry in which most Japanese would only accept fresh graduate, who then students and practicing their own in accordance with the (core business) companies.
5. INNOVATION
Japanese inventor is not the nation, but the Japanese have a surplus in the findings and meracik and then marketing it in the form of interest by the community. Interesting read stories Akio Morita that Sony developed the Walkman melegenda it. Cassete Tape is not found by Sony, company owned by Philip Electronics. But that successfully developed and membundling portable model as a product during the boom years are tens Akio Morita, founder and CEO of Sony at that time. Until 1995, recorded more than 300 models
Walkman born and the number of total production reached 150 million products. Wheeled vehicle assembly techniques four also not made the Japanese people, owned by the American people. But Japan
with inovasinya can develop vehicle assembly industry is faster and cheaper.
6. no surrender
History proves that the Japanese nation, including the resistant rock and abstinence surrender. Dozens years under the Tokugawa empire, which closed all access to overseas, Japan is very behind in technology. When the Meiji restoration (Meiji ishin) come, the nation of Japan quickly to be adaptable and fast-Learner. Poverty of natural resources is also not create Japan surrender. Not only importer of petroleum, coal, seeds, iron and wood, even 85% Japan's energy sources come from other countries, including Indonesia. Say if Indonesia stop the supply of oil, 30% of the territory of Japan will darkness sequence saster occurred in 1945, starting from the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, followed by less war Japan, and plus with the major earthquake in Tokyo. In fact, Japan is not exhausted. In the next few years, Japan has been successfully building and the automotive industry even the fast train (Shinkansen). May be quite incredible how Konosuke Matsushita
businesses destroyed and almost out business from electronic equipment in 1945 is still able to crawl, starting from zero for industries to build a business empire in the period. Akio Morita also initially laughable when people offer products Cassete tape the tiny to various other countries. But eventually legend with his Sony Walkman. That also has a unique theory that science and where people should learn from the failure of this
formulated in Japan with the name shippaig (of failure). When, when will I be peeled more about this
7. CULTURE READ
Do not be surprised if you come to Japan and into densha (electric train), most passengers both children and adults are reading books or newspapers. No matter sitting or stand, many who use the time to read the densha. Many publishers began make-it man (comic image) for the material well-school curriculum for primary schools, junior high and high school. Lessons History, Biology, English, etc. are presented with attractive interest that make reading the higher the community. I have discussed the problem of education in the comics this blog. Cultural read Japanese people also supported by the speed in the process of translation of foreign books (language English, French, German, etc.). Come say legend translation of foreign books have been started in the year 1684, as the development and Translation Institute to continue developing period Usually the translation of the Japanese language books are available in a few weeks since the book foreign published.
8. COOPERATION GROUP
Culture in Japan do not accommodate the work that is too individualistik. Claims, including the results of the work, usually intended for the team or group. This phenomenon not only in the working world, with the condition of campus research lab is also such, the the task of the course, usually in the form of groups. Working in groups may be one of the the strength of the largest Japanese. There are anecdotes that "1 Japanese professors will be lost with one the professors United States, only 10 professors United States will not be able to overcome 10 people Japanese professors that group. " Agreement or consensus is often called the "rin-gi" is rituals in the group. Strategic decisions must be discussed in the "rin-gi".
9. detached
Since the early age children are trained to be independent. Irsyad, my children's birthday was the most feel entering kindergarten (Yochien) in Japan. He must bring 3 large bags containing clothes to change, Bento (pack lunch), replace the shoes, books, towels and a bottle of drink hang in the neck. In Yochien every child be trained to bring their own equipment, and responsible for his own goods. Remove the high school course and almost Most do not ask the cost to parents. Friend about my first contemporary in energyUniversity rely on part-time work for school fees and daily life. Even if the run out of money, they "borrow" the money to the parents that they return later in the month next.
10. keep TRADITION
The development of technology and economy, not to make the nation lose the Japanese tradition and culture. Culture of married women not to work there and still live to this day. Culture apologize reflek is still a Japanese. If you ride a bicycle day in Japan and hit a pedestrian, they do not upset
