What is the difference between performance-based and result-based? The survey is questionable! !

Good evening. This is Nada from Seito Medical School. This is the first installment of my notes for Monday, December 4th. There may be up to three installments, so be prepared to keep an eye out!

・Performance-based vs. result-based

・Survey bias

・Stay tuned for the second installment on Monday, December 4th

・Future issues

・Afterword

<Performance-based and results-based>

This is about merit-based and result-based systems. Merit-based systems are an evaluation of the entire process, including results, and are mainly aimed at employees. On the other hand, result-based systems are a world where results are everything, regardless of process or method, and apply to company managers and freelancers. I think it would be good to consider four different analysis methods by adding another axis of opposing thinking to this merit-based and result-based system. I haven't found a good axis yet, so I'll let you know if I come up with an idea. However, in my case, I think it would be wise to work on a merit-based system for a while, and then I would like to wait a while before moving to a result-based system like freelancing.

It can be said that companies with poor performance are influenced by the lack of ability of people in higher positions, such as managers. Of course, it can be said that the field generates sales, but no matter how excellent the field is, if the top managers lack the ability, the organization will lose its ability to grow. Reskilling, or relearning, has become a hot topic recently, not just for managers, but being diligent is a big advantage in working life. In that sense, managers are results-oriented, and their value lies in whether they can produce results.

Survey Bias

The next topic is surveys. In a survey, doctors and scholars seem to be highly trusted in Japan and around the world. Of course, politicians come in at the bottom as the least trustworthy profession. However, there is a wide range of doctors, scholars, and politicians, so I think it is important to look at them on an individual level, not saying that they are untrustworthy because of their profession, but that they are trustworthy because they are that person. Of course, if you work in a profession like the media where you come into contact with politicians professionally, it is convincing to say that most politicians cannot be trusted.

In politics, party approval ratings and cabinet approval ratings are often discussed. There are various techniques for such surveys. In a TV street survey, if citizens are given two options, if you tell them at the beginning that one option is more popular, crowd psychology will give people the illusion that that option is more popular. Or, by devising the questions, it may be possible to manipulate the results of the survey to some extent.

Even in the academic world, papers are sometimes constructed based on surveys, but it is necessary to check that the survey does not contain bias, that is, biased thinking. When I take a survey, I always check "best" for every answer, so I can be called a bias demon.

＜Please look forward to the second part on Monday, December 4th＞

Well, I've been writing about the contents of my notes so far, but my notes dated 12/04 (Mon) are 2.5 pages long, but at this point, I've only completed about 1/5 of the report. In other words, it's 0.5 pages. How much are you going to report, you know?! If you ramble on about your report at a rapid clip toward the mountain as the morning glow rises, you'll get an echo of feedback, so please look forward to it.

For the past few days, I've been reading "The Woman Who Created Aeon" that I bought at Book Off, and it's a book I could give as a gift to someone. As expected of someone who made Aeon big from scratch, it exudes authenticity. I bought it for 220 yen, and it was a good purchase. I'd like to read it again if I have the chance.

<Future issues>

・I want to establish an education-related NPO. I want to use this blog as an educational medium and a pillar of income to carry out my activities.

・I will research chatGPT on Wikipedia

. ・I will research existentialism on Wikipedia.

・I want to become a manualist who creates various manuals.

・I might become a freelancer around November 2024?

・I wonder if I can make money by selling card games?

<Afterword>

I will report on the second part of my notes from 12/04 (Mon) soon. Please look forward to it. Bye.

One of the definitions of life is that it moves freely within the structure of a system! ?

Hello. This is Nada from Seito Medical School. Today, I bought a shampoo and conditioner set as a Christmas present. Many men may not care about the quality of their hair, but women tend to be very particular about the quality of their hair. Is it better to give a gift of an expensive brand, or something inexpensive but simple and functional? This time, I'm writing about my notebook from 12/03 (Sun).

・Life in the System

・Study, Action, Selection and Concentration

・Afterword

<Life in the System>

The first theme is life within a system. In a previous report, I considered what life is from both a material and a spiritual perspective. In terms of material aspects, one definition (meaning) of life is a filtering device that balances gravity and homeostasis. In terms of spiritual or philosophical aspects, having life means that an object has the degree of freedom to exist when experiencing something in the past. In other words, one definition of life is moving freely within a structure called a system, which is the relationship between things. This is because it has its own will and moves around in space.

For example, I wonder what moves freely in the internal environment of the body beyond physical activity. One of them is white blood cells. I believe white blood cells fight pathogens. I don't know much about medicine, so I would like to study it so that I can grasp the facts clearly. Returning to the point, white blood cells that move freely in the bloodstream system can be said to have life, according to the definition above. Body cells can also be said to have life if they continue to move even when separated from other cells.

In other words, if we define life philosophically, one system is made up of countless elements and countless systems. For example, in a system called the body, if you remove something that connects it to the outside, the smallest living organism that can continue to function for a certain period of time is the one that has life. When it comes to life, not only physical definitions are important, but also philosophical definitions.

<Study, initiative, selection and concentration>

The next theme is "The Woman Who Created AEON." AEON was created by Kojima Chizuko, who overhauled the parent company, Okadaya. The cover reads, "You need to study more." If you are diligent and work hard, even if you fail, you will bounce back and achieve success. Studying never takes away new realizations, and learning is something that is built up over many years. However, one thing is certain: study is the foundation, and it is the ability to act that builds a vacation home on top of it. The balance between these two points is important. Below are some things that caught my attention in this book.

Whether you succeed or not depends on what your goal is and how you invest your limited time and money. It is exactly the fusion of knowledge and technology, which is called a mental attitude. It's called selection and concentration, but depending on the circumstances, what you think is a disadvantage in life in society can be said to be a great advantage. Even if you don't have money, if you have time, you may be able to cover most academic subjects and technologies in your lifetime.

As for health, a leader who cannot maintain good health will have a negative impact on the company's performance, so it is the leader's job to look after the leader's health. One thing I can say is that, for example, even if the leader is not doing anything, it is important to create a situation where maintaining the status quo is important. Furthermore, if the leader takes action, performance needs to change from maintaining the status quo to a growth curve. As a leader, I would like to at least devise ways to give the company I am in charge of an advantage. On top of that, the health of the leader is a major prerequisite.

<Afterword>

I would like to dig a little deeper into a²+2ab-39=0.

One thing I would like to change is my staying power. If you post on your blog every day, your blog will probably improve like a snowball.

Hello. This is Tenpu from Seito Juku. This time, we're going to ask you to "write down one thing you want to change about yourself."

In conclusion, I am satisfied with myself now, and my current life is not bad, so I would rather have nothing change. On that note, if I had to choose one thing I would like to change, it would be to have the drive (grid) to see things through.

I've always been the type of person who would start things off with a lot of energy, but as I get closer to the end, I gradually start to feel like giving up. It's already been four and a half years since I started this blog on July 31, 2019.

I completed my first 100 articles in three months, and my writing and blogging skills improved tremendously, but spending eight hours a day researching and writing articles left me feeling groggy, so I left it for a long time.

Recently, I have started posting on the Seitojijuku blog again, but it is true that the one who stands until the end wins. I have also started posting again after a long time, so I can't really boast, but it is true that I am here now, writing this article.

As with anything, if you feel like quitting halfway through, you can stop. If you feel like quitting, you can stop temporarily. Also, if you feel like resuming, you can resume.

If nothing happens, the articles I wrote before will remain there and will be added to like an asset the more articles I write. I gave up on this blog after the first three months, but now I think it would be okay to keep adding to it for the rest of my life.

So, one of the things I wanted to change was my perseverance. Persistence is power. If I work on it every day, the value of my blog will snowball. See you then.

Opening up the destiny of Tenpu Nakamura! The company gives experience and salary

Hello. This is Nada from Seito Medical School. This time I will report on my diary notes for Saturday, December 2nd.

・Synergy creates ideas

・Gods and Buddhas die when they sleep at night and come back to life when they wake up in the morning

・Tenpu Nakamura's "Opening up your destiny"

・Companies provide experience and salary

・Afterword

Generate ideas through synergy

When you hear someone's idea, you might think it's the application of a specific piece of knowledge. Someone's knowledge and ideas are not separated like a deep valley, but are new ideas that develop from knowledge. Someone's idea may seem like the application of a specific piece of knowledge, but in reality it is the synergy of many pieces of knowledge that produces the idea.

On top of that, if you can get rid of the problem of preconceptions, the more knowledge you have, the more ideas you will have. It's important to note that the more knowledge you have, the more preconceptions you will have. If you can avoid that, you'll be a knowledgeable idea king.

Gods and Buddhas die when they sleep at night and come back to life when they wake up in the morning.

The next topic is: I recently heard Taro Aso's response to a question on YouTube. I think the lawmaker who asked the question said, "The most important thing is the atmosphere, but what is the second most important thing to you, Mr. Aso?" I don't remember the answer very well, but he gave the following quick and witty answer: "In the morning, wake up with hope, work hard during the day, and go to sleep at night with gratitude." I felt like this response filled in the gaps in the words I had thought up. "Gods and Buddhas die when they go to sleep at night, and come back to life when they wake up in the morning." Well, that's about it. Okay, let's move on!!

Nakamura Tenpu's "Opening up your destiny"

The next subject is Nakamura Tenpu. I have recently started using the pen name Tenpu on Seitoh Shijuku, a sister site of Seitoh Medical School. I am currently reading Tenpu's "Opening Your Destiny" and have read up to the first chapter. What caught my attention was the line, "People speak within the scope of their own experiences and knowledge." When I write my blog, I often write about things I have learned from books and things I have actually experienced. As it is said that humans love stories, original stories that are unique to each individual are valuable. It seems that such original stories are also highly rated in recent Google searches.

Currently (12/3, 01:30), I would like to give the Seitoh Juku English translation site a boost. It is a blogger site, but since I started it this year, the current page views are only about 250. I will also post a link below, so if you are confident in your English, please drop by.

Existentialism. I'll study it next time.

The next theme is philosophy. Existentialism. I've heard of it before, but I can't imagine it in detail. According to Nakamura Tenpu, philosophy is "a study that explores the causes of phenomena." It can be said that philosophy is about asking why the physical phenomena that occur in the world every day are the way they are, what the reasons are, and what the meanings are. Tenpu says, "What are God and Buddha?" Of course, I don't have a clear answer, and if I were asked this question, I would probably just give myself another half century. That was a story about philosophy. If I have time again, I would like to read a philosophy book and try to understand existentialism and find my own answer.

The company provides salary and experience

The next topic is about independence or freelancing. I think many company employees want to leave the company and change jobs or start their own business. They feel that there is too little reward for the work they do. I too have wanted to become independent and work as a freelancer since I entered my 30s. This perspective is from the perspective of the employee, and I feel horrified at the thought of not being paid more.

On the other hand, from the employer's point of view, the employee's argument may seem a little selfish. Many employers probably think that they are not just giving their employees a salary, but also allowing them to gain experience in the form of work. It would be hard to accept that the talent they have nurtured since the beginning of their careers would quit because they are dissatisfied with their salary. Managers will probably think that in exchange for the low salary of young employees, they are providing them with experience.

However, it seems that the recent generation Z, people in their 20s, are quitting because the workplace is too lax and they can't gain experience. Even if the employer is in the position to provide salary and experience, and pays a high salary, they quit because they can't gain experience. It's a difficult problem. I also have a strong desire to be independent, so I think I can understand the feelings of people who want to be independent.

However, it is also important to feel grateful to your current company for helping you grow as an employee until you were able to become independent. Don't get upset because you can't get what you want, but it's not too late to wait a little longer and then decide whether or not you really want to become independent. You can always make up for lost time in your twenties, so it's definitely better to keep trying new things.

If you feel your salary is low, think about why it is low, and if you feel that the salary is too lenient to gain experience, think about what you can do to change your surroundings before going independent. What I have said so far is also a warning to myself. To borrow the words of Tenpu Nakamura, "The thoughts that are made by the human heart create everything in life." By changing your way of thinking a little and going through a lot of trial and error, you may be able to make a big change to your current environment. Well then.

Afterword

If you have the financial resources, you can definitely win the election if you pay 2 million yen a year to every citizen as a basic income. If you want to pay 2 million yen a year to each person, you need a budget of 240 trillion yen every year.

Think about what life is! Aeon’s founding story! Set tasks in the recruitment!

Hello. This is Nada from Seito Medical School. This time, I'm writing about the diary notebook for Friday, December 1st. From now on, I'd like to include a table of contents at the beginning of the article.

・Thinking about what life is

・AEON's founding story

・Not only B to C but also B to B! Setting tasks in job interviews

・Afterword

<Considering what life is>

Having life means that when you have a real experience of the past, the object has the freedom (will) to do so. Real experience of the past means that when you look at your past memories, if there is something in those memories that moves freely without being bound by the memories, then it can be considered to have life. This is a definition of life from a philosophical perspective, but how does it differ from the previous explanation of life defined materially? It is possible that this philosophical definition of life means something symbolic.

Life, as we have defined it physically before, is a giant filtering system that filters energy through the body and expels what we don't need, or shapes the mechanisms of our heartbeat and breathing through on and off motions driven by gravity and homeostasis.

I don't know if there is any relation between this philosophical definition and the material definition of life. It may be related in the future of medical science, or it may not be related to eternity. What is life? It is a universal question for all living things.

<Aeon's Founding Story>

I am currently reading a book about the founder of Aeon. It is very interesting, so I am not even halfway through, but I would recommend it to everyone. I gained the perspective that management is based on trust and consideration. Trust and consideration are very important elements for human relationships in society.

Chizuko, the founder of AEON, was a woman and was very sensitive, so she practiced "tea ceremony" and "flower arrangement" after work on Sundays for employees who had shifts on Sundays and could not take a day off. Therefore, it seems that she was evaluated at the time as the perfect wife for AEON.

If I were a manager, I think it's important not just to hold cooking classes and study groups, but also to essentially do things that are good for employees. At the very least, I think it's good to continue to push forward with what I think is good.

＜Not just B to C but also B to B! Setting goals in job interviews＞

If I were the president of a major online shop, I would think about not only selling products between businesses and consumers, but also between businesses and companies. I would like to give some ideas on what B to B means for online shops.

Furthermore, if I were a company manager, I would approach recruiting by giving candidates assignments and having them write reports within a deadline. For example, you could give candidates a month to work on improving work efficiency or difficult problems as assignments and have them compile a report on three A4-sized pages. Using this method, you can see how much skill the candidate has. Of course, they don't necessarily have to solve the assignments, the point is whether there is something worth looking at.

<Afterword> I plan to post my diary notes on Seito Medical School, and a rewrite of them on Seito Personal School.

Learn high school chemistry before studying quantum chemistry! Those who can adapt will survive! ?

Hello. This is Nada from Seito Medical School. Today, I will be reporting on my diary for two days, 11/29 (Wed) and 11/30 (Thu).

First, here is a piece of information that I found confusing while studying quantum chemistry. It says that 1 cal is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 degree. I haven't studied chemistry much, so I thought that the amount of heat in a chemical formula was just an arbitrary value, meaning that the quantity itself didn't have much meaning, but I found that 1 cal does have meaning. If I take in 1 kcal of energy, will my motivation increase by 1000 times?

Continuing with quantum chemistry. Genetic information is written in a code of adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). The field of quantum chemistry introduces chemical formulas into this genetic information. I will also read through my high school textbooks on chemistry and approach the goal.

The next topic. Merchandise sales are interesting. If you go to a second-hand shop or BOOKOFF, you might find a bargain. The store doesn't bother to check how much each item is selling for online, so they can make a profit by selling it cheaply and selling it at a higher price. When I found out that a book I bought for 600 yen was selling for 2,000 yen, I felt a thrill, like I was hiding a precious jewel in my pocket.

This is the next theme. It is interesting that in the natural world, it is not the strongest that survive, but those that can change. Does this mean that humans, who are smart, have an advantage? If we do not have the ability to adapt, we may be wiped out all at once. With that in mind, it is important in human society to have a sense of urgency, thinking that this is our last chance.

Are you a morning person or a night owl? My memory advocates the theory of 12 hours a day with no holidays - Seito Medical School -

Hello. This is Tenpu from Seito Juku. The theme this time is, are you a morning person or a night person? Until a few years ago, I was a morning person. I would wake up at 2am and study until work started. To wake up at 2am, I needed to go to bed early at night, and since I was working part-time at the time, I would be out for 8 hours before taking the train back to work.

I've become a night owl lately, but I study, blog, and pursue my hobbies from 8pm to 5am. In that sense, I might be a day owl. I have an income separate from my job, so if I work moderately, I have no problem living on my own.

While looking at this theme of morning people or night people, I suddenly thought that I would wake up at 2 am again and work hard on my research and blogging. I feel like waking up in the morning is refreshing. Even if I stay up all night working on something, I feel a sense of accomplishment when the morning glow turns orange. It's currently 6:30 am. The sun is about to rise.

I'm thinking that it would be a good idea to alternate between night and day shifts, such as staying up all night on the first day (taking a 1-2 hour nap), sleeping 8 hours on the second day, staying up all night on the third day, and sleeping 8 hours on the fourth day. I think it would be enough to work 12 hours a day, but if I try to work exactly 12 hours, I lose motivation before the 12 hours are up. In that sense, it might be better to work 12 hours with the intention of working 16 hours.

When I was an early riser, I used to work about 16 hours, including study time, and I'm amazed that I was able to push myself so hard. Now I advocate a 12-hour workday without days off, but my experience of working 16-hour days for several years is what prompted me to advocate the 12-hour workday.

If you want to stand out from the crowd, you need to work harder than others. By not only working hard but also being creative, you can achieve a big difference in results in the same amount of time. If you value each and every day and write down what you did that day in a notebook, that's 120 points. You can also use the contents of that notebook as material for your blog. Bye.
