Into the book
Don't know what you want to do? Isn't that great?
Well then, from now on, I can do anything.
--- p.33
Leaving one's parents' care and entering society means becoming a businessman.
In other words, everyone is a businessman, including those who run a business or a store.
Each and every person becomes the owner of his or her own store.
--- p.52
There are very few people who can do what they love from the beginning.
The order is different.
First of all, you should aim to like what you are doing now.
The next thing is to become someone who is loved at work.
Only then will you be able to do what you love.
--- p.55
Everyone has a chair prepared by the world.
--- p.93
That's why I say in my books and lectures, 'People should never pursue big goals.'
When you try to accomplish something great, you inevitably end up doing things that the world will hate.
What matters is how much effort you can put into achieving a small goal.
--- p.165
Most people's callings are not things they wanted to do, but rather things they were forced to do by others.
Even if you say you don't like it and do it reluctantly, once you actually try it, it goes smoothly.
So I couldn't help but be surprised.
And then you get more and more into it.
The process of reaching one's calling follows this pattern the most.
--- p.191
Give meaning to the things and people in front of you and deal with them.
Then people can aim for higher places.
The number of things you can do also increases.
Maybe someone who sees you constantly trying to please someone will lead you to a new world.
It's simple, but someone is bound to see someone who works hard.
What you have done will never betray you.

Publisher's Review
'I have no dreams'
'I don't know what I want to do'
'I don't know if what I'm doing now is right for me.'
'I don't know what to do'
Then open this book!
A million-selling author with over 4 million copies sold and Japan's top taxpayer had a five-year long conversation.
It's about work.
As five years have shown, learning about work is not an easy task.
We spend most of our days working, except for the time we sleep.
'Work' occupies a large and important part of our daily lives, but I've probably never learned the true meaning of what I do anywhere or from anyone.
If you have ever wondered, “How long should I keep doing this?”, “How long should I live like this?”, or “Is this the right job for me?” while working every day, then now is the time for you to learn about the “laws of working to make your life go well.”
The most notable feature of "How Successful People Work" is that it provides clear and concise answers to practical questions that everyone working is concerned about, rather than covering common misconceptions about fundamental principles.
The author asks questions about the real-life concerns of those around him through a Q&A format, and the teacher gives answers that are not at all obvious, refreshing our hearts.
This Q&A is not limited to the characters in the book.
This is our story, and it is directly connected to the concerns we face every day.
The author of this book, Shigehisa Nagamatsu, was able to change his career path and find his true calling through a historic encounter with his teacher, the richest taxpayer in Japan.
In this way, he became a million-seller author with a cumulative sales of 4 million copies.
Apply the contents of this book to your work and life right now.
Now it's your turn to be the one who gets along.
