Being a cautious person, I have always tried to avoid making mistakes in everything I do. However, when I got the job, I was assigned to a department that has a bad reputation for being a tough department with a lot of overtime and suddenly being forced to work independently. I get depressed easily when I’m told off, so I’m extremely anxious. (Male, 20s)

Regardless of the environment, you can work with a positive attitude and a sense of fulfillment. To do so, you need a spirit of service (kokoro of hōshi) that utilizes your strengths and tries to contribute to what is required of you to the best of your ability.
This mindset is nurtured through daily interactions with family. To do this, it is important to communicate your feelings. Now is the time to be honest and talk about your feelings, such as your anxieties, the things that make you happy, and the efforts you are making. They will surely listen, sympathize, and encourage you. By feeling this warm love, even if you are severely reprimanded, you will be able to recover and feel motivated, thinking, “I just need to try not to repeat my mistakes.” “My family is supporting me,” or “I’ll try my best to do what I can!” You will become a more resilient person.
Also, by learning Kami’s teachings, you will have a solid axis of judgment within yourself. You will no longer be blindly accepting or being overwhelmed by rumors and overflowing information. You will also see how to live in a way that builds better relationships with others.

Work—The more a kokoro of hōshi becomes a part of you, and the connection with all things will be made the best of, producing great results.
Therefore, know the kokoro of hōshi, and it is important to strive to make that kokoro a part of you.
The more this thought deepens, human beings will live the correct path, and will be loved and trusted by many people.
Your feelings to live to reciprocate will be increasingly drawn out; and work will become a time (thing) of enjoyment.
When you start working as a new employee, you will experience many new things and most likely make mistakes. If you feel unsure, consult with your seniors or superiors and work hard to complete the tasks you have been assigned. It is important to listen to other people’s advice, express your own thoughts honestly, and ask for guidance. Your twenties are a time to live honestly and sincerely, and discover your own strengths and unique qualities while receiving support from those around you. By being a person who doesn’t overreach yourself, you will be trusted and loved. This will naturally lead to success in your work.
Being cautious is a great advantage in preventing mistakes. Make the most of your strengths and live a fulfilling life every day.
