研修終了！

２日からの会社の研修が、昨日終わりました。

企業によっては期間の長さも内容も違う研修。それぞれの会社の人事部の教育に対する考え方の差がでてくる所です。


うちは朝８時半から夕方５時半まで、１時間半の講習が繰り返されました。
各部署から、会社の規則であったり、新入社員が学ぶべき自社商品に関する知識の講習を受けました外部講師の招いてのビジネスマナーも・・・・あれはきつかったなぁ。電話応対、噛みまくったで・・・

研修中は会社の近くのホテルに皆で泊まり。与えられた部屋は毎度の通り、ツイン！一人でツインに泊まるんは、ちょい寂しいですね。

社長と人事部長と課長、新入社員で呑む機会があって、そこで社長の色んな話を聞いた。
社長の昔の学生紛争とか留学の話聞いて、また会社としての社長の熱意を聞いた時、かなり引き込まれた。「いい会社ですよ。」ってさ。この研修で、少しずつ会社の雰囲気を掴んできました。

皆はどんな感じよ？
とりあえずこの５日間で勉強した事をもっかい見直して、とりあえず頭に叩きこんでいかんと。
メーカーやから、自社商品を完璧に頭に入れておかんと、何にもならんね。



ところで、昨日は研修が終わった後、同僚２人と一緒にBarに行きました。
同僚が学生の頃働いていた所で、雰囲気も良いしたまにライブもしてるとか。で、その辺りは外国人も多く住んでる地域で、お客さんも外国人がちらほら。海外事業部に行きたい俺にとってはかなり嬉しい場所。友達作ってとりあえず英語忘れんようにだけはしないとね。

行きつけのBar、になるかは分からんけど、また行ってみようと思ってます。


月曜から本格的に、社会人スタートです。

入社２日目。

今日は、朝礼時に社員の前で、新入社員８人代表で挨拶しました。

朝礼時、うちの会社ではラジオ体操します。
ちょっと体操するにはスペース狭いし、ちょっと体操するにはスーツが堅苦しい・・・・
とにかく何年ぶりかのラジオ体操は、思い出すのに時間がかかりそう。。


午前中は、本社営業課の先輩社員の方から、自社製品についてのプレゼンテーションがありました。
自分の配属になる営業第一課での仕事をする上で、商品知識がないとかなり厳しそう。。文系の俺は、機械やら生物の知識が少ない分人より多く勉強する必要がありそうだ。ん・・・日々勉強。

さらには人員算定の計算式なんかも勉強したりして、少しハードな研修となったけど、プレゼンしてくれた人が元気のあるいい人だったので、楽しくできました。


プレゼンの前、自己紹介をするよう言われ、昨日の事を思い出してやってみた。
でも何か面白みに欠けるというか、真面目すぎるというか・・・何かが足りない自己紹介になった。
プレゼンしてくれた社員さんによると、営業でも相手と話題を合わせていくことが大事だと言っていた。
相手と趣味が合えば話ははずむっていうのもあるけど、あまり聞いてくれる人の知らない話をするべきではないね。相手が関心を持ってくれそうな・・・身近な話題、趣味。あと可能なら少し笑ってもらえるように話を持っていければと思う。営業についても同じらしい。顧客と話をあわせるために、地方に行くときはその土地の歴史などを少し勉強して頭に入れてから出向くという。


相手の知っている話題を話す。


俺にとって重要なことかもしれない。

社会人１日目。

今日は入社式。そして新入社員研修１日目。

入社式で緊張はしたものの、和やかな雰囲気で行われたのでとても良かった。


特に、入社式での社長の言葉、その後の常務の言葉が印象的でした。

社長「帰宅してテレビを見て寝ても４０年経つし、１日ずつこつこつ勉強しても４０年経つ。同じ年月をどう過ごすか・・・一日一日を大切にしてほしい」
常務「（桃太郎の話から読み取れる）素直さ、信頼、智恵、そして勇気といった素質を備える事。」



入社式後は、新人研修。
会社概要、人事制度、社会人としての心付け、自己紹介・・・など、基本的な部分を学びました。
会社概要の研修では、皆の前に出て概要のミニプレゼンテーションを行いました。頑張って喋ったけど少し長かったようで・・・・笑。でも個人的には落ち着いて話せたかなと思います。営業課に配属になる自分にとって覚えておく必要があります。

社会人になると自己紹介をする機会が多くなるということで・・・面接以来また行いました。要は自己ＰＲ・・・・これがかなり難しい。何を喋るか、またどういうネタを持ってくるか。何を初めに言って注意や関心を引くか。話ベタな自分にはいい勉強になりました。こういうのほんまに不得意やから。とりあえず・・・
①Attention Getter
②自分を売ることのできるネタを。
③ちょっとしたオチ　

があればいいなぁ～と思いました。また機会があれば特訓しないと。



研修一日目の最後、人事部長の一言。
「第１日目の決意を手帳に書いて、忘れないこと。それを毎年新しい手帳に書いていくことを忘れずに。」
ちなみに俺の決意とは・・・・

『１日１日を無駄にせず、小さいことでも毎日続ける努力を忘れない。』


この目標、忘れないようにしよう。



以上、社会人１日目の日記でした。

First vote in my life

Today I went to vote for the General Election in spite of terrible weather, typhoon, unfortunately by motorbike.....Anyway, this was my first vote in my life. I didn't feel nervous at all but was excited to do it because I have dreamed of voting for a long time....now the moment comes here!! I'm so glad and on the same time, I did feel the importance of one vote.

However, I figured out that it was extreamly difficult to choose one party or one candidate. Why? because If I chose one, It means that I agreed all of the policies that the party have adressesd as a manifesto. Deeply considering many issues that Japan has right now, I'm gradually not able to get to decide to choose one of them. In my thought, "I agreed a policy, but I don't think the others are appropriate polcity or opinion..." That is why I can't choose one.

That is, my opinion is this: Not to choose a party or candidate, but we choose policies or opinions that candidates or politcians hold, depending on the issues. Don't you think this way is more likely to show our opinion effectively than now? ;otherwise, current Japanese politics never change and imporove, and we will hold kind of "unsatisfied" feeling against the politics forever.

Regarding the number of people voting: there are many (especially young ) people who are NOT willing to vote in Japan. According to some statistics, the recent number of people who voted for the election is only around 60 %. Some of them say "Oh, I am not interested in the election, sorry." Others say "I don't believe that my one vote would make difference againt current situation."

This is because, I think, the young is now less likely to care about others or many thing happens around them, I mean, social issues. I THINK, people would be happy if they only were happy. Encountering defavorable people, they would never worry about them. Ecountering elderly people in trouble on the street, they might not help and give our hand...

Also, we don't usually think of Japanese politics or the social ou issues with friends in campus or school. It might be difficult to see without subjective ideas, but it is important to THINK and DISCUSS together, and have our own opinion. We are not child anymore. Have you ever argue somthing with your friends? Do you have a solid and clear opinion for some issues? Can you explain your opinion for them?

Once in my class that I used to take, my teacher said, "politician never think of the young unless they vote." yes, this is the very meaning to vote. In order to show our thoght and opinion to politicians and parties, we have suffrage. Why don't you vote? I absolutely vote.

I beleive that something different happens and changeJapanese politics if numerous young people go to elction.

60 years since "Hiroshima"

On August 7 I was wathcing a TV program.

It gave me increadible impression in my mind, deeply. The reason is that it described how so-called the "Hiroshima happened during the World War II. How many of you watched it? and how many of you and other Japanese are familiar with the "Hiroshima"?

It is said that not many Japanese can answer the question, "what happened in August 6, 1945?" Did we forget the terrible way of terminating War? and did we forget that the the threatening of nuclear bomb is expanding in the world? and did we forget that numerous wars or conflicts which never disappear even after the War? Even though it is not a incident that happened to young generation, this is extreamly important to remember as Japanese.

That is why students usually go to Hiroshima or Nagasaki memorail museum as excursion in order to learn what exacty happened 60 years ago. Yes, this is quite important because there are many things that students can feel by their 5 sense throught the buildings left, real voice from suviors or forth. I once went to join the international volunteer work at former concentration camp, and felt great depression and sadness in Germany. Yes, I exactly remember how I felt in front of the crematorium, which made me notice the importance of leaning history.

At least I don't forget the date, however, I'm not sure if I can explain it exactly to others by my word. Now the understanding the historical incidents are not well-known among Japanese, especially in the young age like me. Why? I don't know, but I can assume that the young or many children have less likely to learn or listen to experiences of "Hiroshima"from survivors or grand-parents as time passed. Also we forget what we learned soon in the school even if we did from elementary school to high school. Here is the Japanese education issue; we don't usually explain someting by our own words during the test; what we do for the test or examination is to remember the date or someone's name and write them down.

It is quite important for Japan, only a country that nuclear bomb was dropped on, to adress the importance of maintain peace without any nuclear weapons. One of the reasons is people are not well-famliar with Hisroshima and Nagasaki because of educaiton. For example, American textbooks on the world history doesn't tell students correct information about Hirishima or Nagasaki (ex. the correct number of casualties for exposure of radiation). They don't know how the radiation badly affects body, and how they were suffered from the radiation. Therfore, suvivors are afraid of much expanding the use of them than before or even now, expanding wrong recognition about atomic bombs. Actually, NPT conference haven't showed the positive progress for a long time. To make the matter worse, USA withdrew the NPT and tries to develop their techniques for the atomic bomb. Do we allow USA, which dropped atomic bomb, to behave with selfishness?

I would like to visit Hiroshima memorial museum again this summer before leavng Japan.

What can we do now?

Thank you for your visiting my weblog

Hi there!

This is a new weblog that I created just today.
I want to get in touch with you through the weblog, so please join and give a comment whwnever you like.

Although this is a sort of fancy world where we actually cannnot see directly each other, I would like to continue this weblog and inform you of my ideas and experiences because I will study abroad soon.

OK, let's get started!

21 yeas old now!

Today is my birthday....21 years old

I've gotten many messages from my friends. Thank you very very much!!
I want to express my appreciation to all of my friends, and also my family on this weblog..

Yes, my life has been full of exciting events in university since second grade. This is because I could meet really good teachers who have strong sprit and enthsiasiasm for teaching. Also, I could start something really new for me, business. Third, I have a almost free ticket to study abroad for 9 months in France. It is nice to have somethingintyeresting that I can really concentrate on.

However, as I study history, workd affairs, and domestic issues in Japan, I sometimes really disappointed at what happeded to people living in all over the world, such as poverty, ethnic conflicts, and more and more.... Ironically, a terror occurred in London again yesterday. Why such a terrible thing happened to the innocent people?

This is the reason why I bought a "WhiteBand" in a shop on my way to home on my birthday. Do you know what it is? you can see the details on its website

Japanese http://www.hottokenai.jp/
English http://www.one.org/

If you want one, you can purchase it in "Francfranc" or big book store.

This might be so tiny action, but I hope it will be really really big flow that encourage everyone to resolve the probelm.

I wonder what becomes of the world when I grew up.

My PC has gone to hospital

Yesterday evening, while i was searching some information on the Internet, My pc suddenly stopped working well. I tried to fix the problem many times, I couldn't do it. That is why I went to a store where I bought my computer, and asked to repair it. A shop woman told me that it takes 3 weeks to report the problem. I was realy shocked and disappointed, however, I have no way to use the computer again. my pc is not so pld, but sometimes i encounter the sort of the situation.

Walkimng around the store, I found Apple Computer(iMac G5). I was way too cheap.....less than 100,000 yen!! I was likely to buy it as soon as i saw the price......

Anyway, I will study abroad, so I hope my PC will be completely fixed and have no problem on working..

Although my family has one more PC, so I can do maximum things, I cannnot do what I have been doing with my PC (making HP.....whatever)

I found that I was a slave of computer.

P.S I'm gonna be 21 years old on 22nd
