Into the book
Empathetic listening goes beyond just listening; it means empathizing by putting yourself in the other person's shoes.
In other words, it can be said to be an act of putting the other person's heart into my heart.
Son, if you want to persuade someone, develop the habit of listening with empathy.
Just by being good at empathetic listening, you can avoid wasteful arguments and win over countless people to your side.

--- p.31

Warren Buffett emphasized the importance of rejection when he said:
“Don’t let others dictate your life.” Son, get out of the good guy syndrome and get used to rejection.
Even though it may seem a bit selfish, it is said that happiness comes from a free life rather than an uncomfortable life.

--- p.79

Son, live by your rules, but always remember that rules can be broken.
When the moment of conflict comes, choose the option where love remains even when rules are broken, rather than the option where love is broken and only rules remain.

--- p.157

Son, find your sense of mission by thinking about 'what is it that customers want more fundamentally?'
A sense of mission is the will to realize the value of life through work and a good pledge to create a better world.

--- p.181

Son, if you want what you want, smile.
They say he who laughs last is the ultimate winner, but you have to know how to laugh even in difficult situations in order to laugh in the end.

Albert Einstein said, “Life is like riding a bicycle.
“You have to move to keep your balance,” he said, and Charlie Chaplin said, “A day without laughter is a day wasted.”
Son, they say life is a riddle, but don't waste your life trying to solve it.
Not only is it impossible to solve, but even if you solve it in old age, you can't go back to your youth.
--- p.263
