Do you know what kind of people the Japanese are? First of all, Japanese people choose their words carefully for everything. It seems to be very difficult to give answers other than "yes" or "no." Vague replies such as "Well, yes, that's true" or "Yes, it's difficult, isn't it? And the Japanese are very strict about time. It is a matter of course that they know train schedules by heart, and they are never late. However, they are always late for meetings, a contradictory behavior. Furthermore, Japanese people are good at group behavior. They like to act together and are not good at asserting their individuality. However, it is said that it is surprisingly difficult to secure one's own position in a group. Also, Japanese people wrap everything carefully. Everything from souvenir bags to plastic bags at convenience stores are carefully wrapped. Perhaps this is because the people who do the wrapping enjoy it more. Although Japanese people are such, they are actually very kind and considerate. It is characteristic of the Japanese to help a foreigner who is lost or in need. However, they often have trouble conveying this kindness. As you can see, the Japanese have many unique cultures and customs. Sometimes it is difficult to understand them, but perhaps that is also the charm of the Japanese people.

Every moment matters, but some moments matter more than others… It’s easy to miss the beauty of now amidst all the noise. The thing is, there will always be tasks to complete. There will always be goals to chase. There will always be plans to make. But you won’t always have this moment right now. You won’t always have the experiences you are living today. Remember this as you go through your day. This is what Ichigo Ichie is about. This Japanese concept began with tea ceremonies. It means "one time, one meeting" or "for this time only". So do these NOW: Touch and taste food using the 5 senses. Treat every gathering as a unique event. Stop worrying about the past or future. No moment can be exactly repeated. Value the beauty of each moment. Be present in conversations. Savor small joys. Life is fleeting. Ask yourself: What if this is my last moment on this Earth? How would I enjoy this moment? You´ll value the moment more. __________________ I am Lorenzo Pilastri and I talk about self-development. I use my journey to inspire others.

Recently stumbled upon the inspiring news of #Lulu, the renowned singer, adopting the practice of 'Speech Fasting'. Couldn't resist sharing this thought-provoking tidbit. In the world of modern #communication, where every thought, opinion, and emotion seems to be just a click away, have we ever considered the power of #silence? Navigating through the hustle and bustle of professional life, I find that speech fasting holds particular resonance. In an environment where being heard often equates to being valued, it's easy to fall into the trap of incessant #talking, whether it's in meetings, presentations, or even casual conversations around the office coffee machine. Additionally, we humans have a special talent we can perpetually fill the air with sounds of humming, screaming, and laughter. It's high time we draw inspiration from past generations and infuse it into the fabric of our contemporary world. • The practice of "Mouna Vratham" in #Hinduism • "Vipassana" meditation in #Buddhism • Engaging in silent contemplation in #Christianity let's embrace the lessons of introspection and quiet reflection. And let's remember that sometimes, the most profound statements are the ones left unspoken. #SpeechFasting #MindfulCommunication #SilenceIsPower #ProfessionalDevelopment #Reflection #Contemplation #WisdomOfTheAges #SilentContemplation #ModernCommunication #WorkLifeBalance #MindfulListening #IntentionalCommunication #MindfulListening

♥️Japanese culture is rich with wisdom that has been cultivated over centuries, deeply influenced by both Shinto and Buddhist philosophies. Here are a few key concepts and proverbs from Japanese wisdom: 1. **Kaizen (改善)**: This concept refers to continuous improvement. It's a philosophy that focuses on making small, incremental changes routinely in order to improve efficiency and quality. 2. **Wabi-sabi (侘寂)**: An aesthetic philosophy that finds beauty in the imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness of things. Wabi-sabi encourages appreciation of the simple and modest, which can bring profound tranquility. 3. **Ichigo ichie (一期一会)**: This phrase can be translated as "one time, one meeting" and reflects the idea that every encounter is unique and should be treasured. It is often associated with Japanese tea ceremonies. 4. **Ganbaru (頑張る)**: Often translated as "do your best," this term conveys a deeper sense of perseverance and endurance to achieve one's goals, despite challenges. 5. **Proverbs**: - **"Fall seven times, stand up eight" (七転び八起き)**: This proverb underscores resilience, encouraging one to keep trying no matter how many times they fail. - **"Even monkeys fall from trees" (猿も木から落ちる)**: It serves as a reminder that everyone makes mistakes, even experts in their fields. - **"The stake that sticks up gets hammered down" (出る杭は打たれる)**: This reflects the value placed on social harmony and conformity within Japanese society. These elements of wisdom not only provide insights into Japanese culture but also offer universal lessons that can be applied in various aspects of life worldwide.

Defining this word seems as difficult as defining love or any other abstract feeling. We can share the sensation, yet we are still lost; trying to formulate it intelligibly with a dictionary definition only exposes us to other people’s disagreements. Fortunately, however, Russian-speaking culture is intimately linked to this concept. And that’s why, if you’re passionate about language and culture, you should be interested.

Nice review of Rick Rubin's "The Creative Act" here. It includes Rubin's explanation of "papancha". We learn it's a Buddhist concept and it gives us a way to label preponderant negative internal chatter. When you sense it, recognize it as "papancha" then continue forward. https://lnkd.in/g6nREh8Q

*Discovering the Essence of Japanese Culture: Harmony, Respect, and Beauty*  Japanese culture is a harmonious blend of tradition, simplicity, and deep respect for both people and nature. At its core is wa (harmony), a principle that guides relationships, architecture, and even daily interactions. This focus on coexistence fosters a strong sense of community and mutual respect, visible in everything from polite greetings to collaborative efforts.   Respect (sonkei) is another defining trait. Simple gestures like bowing, gift-giving, and removing shoes before entering a home highlight the Japanese commitment to honoring others. These acts, small but meaningful, reflect a society built on thoughtfulness and care.   Japanese aesthetics embrace simplicity and imperfection through wabi-sabi, finding beauty in the fleeting and imperfect. This philosophy is evident in the ephemeral bloom of cherry blossoms, the art of ikebana (flower arranging), and the serenity of Zen gardens.   Through its traditions—such as tea ceremonies, seasonal festivals, and mindfulness practices—Japan reminds us of the importance of balancing past and present. It’s a culture that celebrates the beauty of life’s small, fleeting moments while inspiring us to live with respect, harmony, and intention.
