Recruitment of contractors

The Japanese film The Embarrassed Host won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2009. This film tells the story of a Japanese rural youth who wants to achieve something. He bought an expensive cello and went to Tokyo to find his dream. After four months of orchestral performance, he finally got the bad news of "the dissolution of the orchestra" and the huge debt of buying musical instruments.

As a last resort, Dawu and his wife Xiang Mei returned to their hometown and lived a poor life. I got a job as a undertaker through a job advertisement.

The recruitment advertisement is very artistic (NK Club, which helps to travel, regardless of age, with high salary and short working hours), and the recruitment process is also very dramatic (President Rong Sheng Sasaki decided to hire Dawu without reading his resume, and avoided talking about the work content, so he gave Dawu his salary the same day).

The next story is how Kobayashi changed from being despised by the people around him to being fond of him, and finally gained people's respect and won back his wife's love.

Drucker has a famous management story of moving stones in The Effective Manager. It is said that two people are moving stones, and a passerby asks, "What are you busy with?" One of them replied, "I'm moving stones"; The other replied, "I'm building a church."

A few years later, these two years have been greatly different. Answer that the stone movers are still moving stones, but answer that the church repairer has become an expert.

In the same story, when Tan Dun, a famous musician, first arrived in the United States, he had a hard life and earned money by playing the violin in the street. Together with a black violinist, he won the door of a commercial bank, a good place that made the most money. People came and went here, and it was very lively.

After a while, Tan Dun made some money and said goodbye to the black violinist. 10 years later, Tan Dun passed by the commercial bank again and found that his old friend, the man in black, was still playing the piano in that "most profitable place", while 10 years later, Tan Dun was already an internationally renowned composer and conductor, and often performed in famous concert halls.

The two buskers must have different mentality, which leads to a world of difference in the future.

The so-called walking aid is actually to help the deceased make up in front of the coffin. After learning about this seemingly unseemly job, Dawu made a living by keeping his wife's beauty.

The first time I went out with the president, I saw the president holding a funeral for a widowed grandmother whose body had rotted, and kept vomiting and spit it out on the spot. After his wife knew her occupation, she left a word "dirty" and ran home. At this time, Kobayashi thought of resigning.

The president enlightened Kobayashi while eating puffer fish white and talked about the philosophy of life. After some interviews, he realized that he had given up this idea. Fish white served as a bargaining chip between President Dawu, which was very effective. The president said that if you don't want to die, you can eat it, and it will be delicious. The fish color that makes you uncomfortable symbolizes the happiness of life. To enjoy fish white is to be kind to life.

Burying the dead and maintaining their dignity is also one of the ways to treat life well. In this way, in various ceremonies, Dawu became familiar with his work as a mortician, and he felt very fulfilled and proud.

Everyone will be a farewell person and a defendant, and the undertaker will win people's respect at the last minute with his respect for the deceased and change the industry. Death is to make up for the dead to bid farewell to the stage, and to create the quiet beauty of death.

As an undertaker, Kobayashi Dawu is still an artist. The so-called extraordinary is to do an ordinary thing a thousand times!

Kenichi Ohmae, a famous Japanese strategist, mentioned the Hippocratic Oath in his book "Professionalism", with nine specific contents. In medical college, students who aspire to become doctors should take an oath according to this oath.

These nine vows also have far-reaching significance for thinking about professionalism. When reading, please regard doctors as "professions" and patients as "customers".

The etymology of experts is "professor", which means "swearing to God as a profession". This is the Hippocratic oath.

Kenichi Ohmae believes that specialty is the way to survive in 2 1 century. Externally, professionalism is manifested in professional dress. The president and Kobayashi in the movie always wear professional clothes every time they appear. There is a small detail in the movie. After the president finished smoking, he put the remaining cigarette butts into the cigarette holder.

Profession needs a sense of ritual with a working mentality, and the heart is awe of work. The whole burial process is full of ritual. Dawu must put his hands together, burn incense, wash his hands and bow before work every time.

Professionalism requires standardization and proceduralization of work content.

To this end, the president specially produced a "funeral guide", such as funeral for the deceased from right to left, then wiping the body, using cotton cloth that has been contaminated with disinfectant and so on.

Profession is rich experience. When the president sees a dead person, he knows how he died. Gas poisoning is painless.

Profession needs to be adhered to. In the face of threats from friends and his wife, Kobayashi chose to persist.

Profession is intolerance to unprofessionalism. At the end of the movie, Dawu and his wife hurried to handle the funeral for their father. When Kobayashi saw that the staff of other funeral companies wanted to bury their father who had run away from home in spite of 30 years of hatred, he ordered them to step down and finish the funeral for his father himself.

The film "The Awkward Teacher" opens a window for us to quickly understand Japanese culture, which is worth savoring.
