My believe: |
||
| I believe that we all have skills that can benefit the society, and I also believe that we have an obligation to at least try to do what we think is good for the society. Social responsibility is not only a term for companies, but also for individuals. I believe that "one man" can change the world or society which also have been proven in history countless number of times. If a man does not contribute to the society or his surrounding environment, what is then the purpose of life? |

What can I do: |
||
| As described on this web, I have a long history (forty some years) going back and forth between Japan and Denmark, two of the probably most different countries in terms of culture, history, language, way of thinking, norms etc. Further, I have been working within a lot of different industries and service sectors that I have a fairly good idea about the core differences between Japan and Denmark. Just like I am able to pinpoint problems between Japanese and non-Japanese companies, I am also able to pinpoint some of the most critical issues in the society in Japan, that Denmark or the Wesetrn world may have solutions to. I would like to contribute as much as possible to the Japanese society by sharing my knowledge to the Japanese people and also actively participate and contribute to the society. |

I am most concerned about the extremely bad Japanese working
environment. I have been working in both Japanese and Danish
companies, so I know the difference well. I know what it is
like to have 20, 30 or 40 hours of unpaid overtime work each
week. I also know what it means to get properly paid for
overtime work as in Denmark. I know how it feels like to be
yelled at from morning to evening the whole week, month,
year after year as many Japanese workers are experiencing. I
also know how it is to be respected for the work you do or
the qualifications that you posess. Danish working environment is heaven compared to the Japanese working environment. My goal in life is to contribute to improvement of the Japanese working environment. I dont want the Japanese working environment to be like the Danish working environment. No, I want to provide the Japanese people with tools that make them capable of changing the working environment to what they think is right and fair. |

Books in Japanese: |

|
To change the Japanese working environment is a long term
process. One of the most important things is to understand
that there are ways to do things that is not necessary the
way things are done today. Therefore, I have started
describing the big differences in the Japanese and Danish
society on an overall level. Why is freedom of speach so
important? What is social welfare? How come Danish are
always rated as the happiest nation in the world? What is
the real reason? Why should you participate in democracy?
What is democracy, or rather, what is the difference between
democracy in Denmark and democracy in Japan? What are the
differnces between Danish and Japanese working enrironment? Those are some of the issues that I have written about in Japanes in my first publication "Recipe of the happiest nation in the world". The book is an e-book and is in Japanese. |

Future plans: |
||
|
My future plan is to write a book concentrating on the
difference in working environment in Japan and Denmark. This
is not an easy task, but there are hundreds of issues that
is relevant for the Japanese society. First step of changing
the society is to understand the present society. It becomes
easier to understand the present society and the ways it can
evolve if you know about other ways of doing things. I
therefore believe that to describe the Danish working
envoronment in Japanese, will have a positive effect on how
Japaese people see their own working environment, and
hopefully they would like to change it for the better when
they have read my "future book" about the Danish working
environment. Japan can never become Denmark, and Denmark can never become Japan. But we can learn from each other and we can improve our society by learning from each other. I would like to contribute to this learning process as much as possible. |
