Purposes and means in work and life

A capitalist way of life is always an emergency, and it is easy to clarify the purpose and goals because it is premised on the definition of competition and growth. The same is true in the world of sports, where there are clear and easy-to-set goals of "winning" and "resulting", so it is basically an emergency idea.


However, this is a way of thinking at work, not a way of thinking about life. There are moments when I play soccer, but life is not soccer.



Professional sports is a profession that is established on the premise that society is in peacetime, but it requires an emergency idea, and when considering the connection with society, it is necessary to consider this idea separately.

Mountain climbing and trekking in emergencies and peacetime


The analogy of an emergency is similar to mountain climbing.


The goal of "top" is clear, and we aim for the shortest distance toward it. There are time and physical limits, so you can't afford to choose the means. If there is a method that you find "fun" but not suitable for reaching the summit in the shortest distance, you need to choose another method even if that method does not suit you.


And when you reach the summit, you need to go down the mountain, and you can't stay on the summit forever. The higher the goal, the steeper the road, but the scenery you see when you climb up is a moment compared to that road. I feel that some people do not go down the mountain because of the comfort of that time.


On the contrary, the normal state is similar to trekking.



You can freely choose the start and goal, and you can freely choose the route to that point from the options. There is more time and physical strength than climbing, and the mental state is different from when climbing.


It feels like a walk, so there is no tension or urgency. There is no time limit, so you don't have to rush like in an emergency.


In work, the world of "capitalism" is causing emergencies, so there are many situations where mountaineering-type thinking is required at the beginning of a business startup or career, and first break through the "living line". There is a phase called. If you can break through this line, you will have some margin and you will be able to work with a trekking type idea.



Some people like to work in a mountaineering style, while others like to work in a trekking style. There are strengths and weaknesses, and each person has a different way of thinking about work, just as each person has different tastes, values, and personalities. Some jobs have a strong contingency element, while others do not.


Just as it depends on the job, the factors change greatly depending on the role and position. Just as the FW mindset and the DF mindset are very different, the mindset is very important to understand the playing role in each position and to accurately execute whether it is an emergency or a normal time.





Only if you can recognize emergencies and normal times can you use them properly according to purpose and means



What is the state of emergency? From the standpoint of a player, if you don't leave a result, you won't be able to play in the game, your salary will be reduced, or you will be dismissed. From a macro perspective in the world of professional sports, this may be the situation, but even if it does, it does not mean that you will die, so it cannot be said to be the ultimate emergency, but here we define it as follows.



From a micro perspective, it depends on the game situation and the progress of the score, but when you really want a score, or when the opponent is likely to get a point with a high probability, you have to prevent the goal. Mainly It will be in an emergency state in front of the goal.



So, if you lead 1-0 or 2-0 and have to defend, you can use a lot of long balls to choose a play that keeps your opponent as far away from your goal as possible, or give yourself time to play in your opponent's area. In order to increase the number of players, you can choose a play that allows you to have a longer possession time in the opponent's position, or when you have less time left and want a score, scramble in front of the goal and supply a ball that is likely to give to a goal. It is also necessary to implement such options as a team when such a situation comes.



Nock-out stages are more contingent than league games, and the ability to change the purpose and means depending on the game situation is one of the required abilities, and the team that can perform it increases the winning percentage. I also feel that you can be a good team.



First of all, it starts with being able to recognize such a "situation", and then the purpose and means are determined only when it is recognized. I think that if you commit to the result thoroughly, you will make such a thoughtful decision, but I think that soccer also has an aspect of "art", so there is a "margin" in peacetime. I would like to add artistry to it by expressing it using.




Purposes and means in life



I've talked about things on the field so far, but let's return to the phrase I wrote at the beginning, "There are moments when I play soccer, but life is not soccer."


The purpose in life is different for each person, and I think this is the part that is directly related to "what do you want to be?" In the end, people are dying, and I feel that the purpose of life will not be deepened unless we think about this "death."


I haven't realized it yet, so I haven't come up with an answer that seems to be this, but I think that my way of life and way of life are largely defined by the environment and society, and from the perspective of being aware of the existence of the universe and God. , I think it is necessary to grasp the current social situation and the history so far, both microscopically and macroscopically.



Now that playing soccer is both a purpose and a means, being in this state is not only thankful for being in peacetime, but when the purpose and means are the same, it is "fun". I can feel it. You can feel the joy of playing soccer, and you are playing soccer to enjoy it.


There were twists and turns until this happened, but I am fortunate and happy to be in such an environment.



The answer to my current purpose in life is to make genes happy while feeling the positive emotions of life's richness, happiness, and joy. It may change in the future. And what exactly is that to make the gene happy? I would like to write it for the next time.
