Chapter 46 Awakened, but didn't act

In order to survive in the future world, the Japanese are busy learning financial knowledge and asset management knowledge.I also think it is necessary to promote economic and financial education, but more Japanese are investing in formal education. Japan's current university education is still valuable in people's eyes, so both parents and children are eagerly looking forward to entering a first-class university.But do top-tier universities, changing interest rates, and stock market turmoil really have a major impact on our lives, or even our lives?Is it really for this reason that we have an education system?the answer is negative.

In this regard, I gave a lecture on "Stocks and Asset Formation" at the BBT Graduate School.This lecture is aimed at beginners and introduces the most basic knowledge of stock investment and asset management.Starting from introducing how to buy stocks and why it is necessary to diversify investment, I talked about how companies can achieve their long-term goals from 5% to 10%. After the lecture, many audience members said that they "suddenly realized".Even though I only briefly talked about the use of assets on how to take advantage of interest rate differences, many people said that "I didn't understand it before, but now I suddenly understand it."

Finally, I made a "sudden enlightenment collection" on the computer, putting all the things that can make the audience "suddenly enlightened" on it, and then continued to guide these "suddenly enlightened" audiences.If someone opens this "epiphany collection" six months later and thinks, "Why was I surprised by such a question then?" then he has made progress. Through this method, it is true that many listeners have made progress, but there are also people who have a unique Japanese way of thinking among them. After listening to my lecture, this kind of person immediately said: "Omae is right, now I understand everything. You should hand over all the money to Omae's management, and then you can make yourself as Omae said. Benefited." The reason why they think this way is because I didn't explain in advance: "Everything has the possibility of failure, and everything must be controlled by yourself."

I explained: "Of course I don't have the right to manage your property, and once you entrust your property to me, the Financial Services Agency will follow me." But the other party insisted: "It doesn't matter, anyway, please." It is the performance of being unwilling to take risks and wanting to entrust all your affairs to others.Although this can be called the aftermath of the "bubble economy", it can only be said that such people have completely given up their lives at this level. In short, the Japanese have gradually become unaware of their "non-thinking", and their tendency to not want to be responsible for their own affairs is getting worse.

The responsibility of asset management is completely handed over to professionals, the responsibility of children's education is completely thrown to schools, the political responsibility is completely handed over to politicians, and the responsibility for food safety is completely handed over to enterprises and government departments.What else can the Japanese do now?It's nothing more than considering who to hand things over to.This is a mental state shared by the Japanese today.
