Essay

Since I resigned Hitachi Zosen Corporation, one month has flashed by. I become much busier than when I was working for the company. The establishment of a company made me busier.

Very curious thing is that I am not required to go any place on Monday morning. This sudden change of circumstance makes me embarrassed, since I was shuttled between the office and home like a carrier pigeon.

When one becomes a representative of a company irrespective of the size, many things which have been invisible become visible. The most difficult thing in business is to get an order. Fortunately in my case, I have joined hands with a person who is very able at this. This helps me very much. Usually, this becomes a deadlock. On the other hand, you will find clearly that nothing can't be accomplished alone. You may think why you are impressed now by such a simple thing . This kind of things may be invisible unexpectedly when one is working in a big firm.

Although I have studied with eagerness communication technology for about one year when I was working for Hitachi Zosen Corporation, I am an amateur in this field. I am in a stage of studying this field by taking mantle of Mr. Teruya Sugiya, president of Teruya Corporation. Mr. Sugiyama works all the year round without taking a holiday. He spends every minute as if it were his last. What he says often sounds like a nonsense, but it never changes. Even if I can't understand at once, I can understand it after hearing couple of times.

Mr. Sugiyama looks for a gold mine and I dig the mine. This seems to be the present diagram of sharing roles. Communication theory is perfectly a field of applied mathematics. So, I am not required to be an expert in the field of communication. One must however have a good nose. If his nose is not sensitive, he may be trapped in a labyrinth. We should make efforts to make our nose keen.
