Hard Work Can’t Beat Joy.

 

We Will All Die Someday—But We Never Know When.

When I was 29,
I had my Agasthiya leaves read.
Since then, I’ve been designing my life
with the age I was told in mind.

 


“Make the difficult simple,
the simple profound,
the profound entertaining,
the entertaining serious,
the serious lighthearted,
and the lighthearted purely joyful.”

— Playwright & Novelist Hisashi Inoue

1.  Make the difficult simple

Explaining something as complicated as it is may become self-satisfaction. Knowledge only comes alive when the listener can understand it.
This includes the
role of a translator—converting technical terms into plain words so knowledge can reach more people. In education and coaching, this is the first condition.


2. Make the simple profound

Even things that seem obvious open into vast worlds when explored deeply.
Take the word “thank you.” It’s simple, but behind it lies emotional psychology, relationship theory, and even religious philosophy.

To make the simple profound is the power of insight—re-examining what we tend to overlook.


3. Make the profound entertaining

Philosophy and deep discussions can feel heavy if delivered rigidly. But with humor, metaphors, and playfulness, they reach people’s hearts.
For example, the Buddhist idea of impermanence can be taught through something as small as a falling leaf, often with a touch of humor.

Depth and entertainment are not opposites—they are twin wheels that draw listeners in.


4. Make the entertaining serious

Entertainment and humor are often dismissed as trivial. But when treated with seriousness, people see the essence of playfulness.
Comedy, for instance, is “play,” but comedians train rigorously and calculate their performances with precision. That’s where the dignity of humor is born.

This shows the value of playing with seriousness.


5. Make the serious lighthearted

When serious topics are spoken about in a purely serious tone, they feel heavy. Mixing in lightness and joy allows people to listen with openness.

This could be called an ethics of humor—maintaining hope and brightness even when handling weighty issues.



6. Make the lighthearted purely joyful

Finally, the closing line is a reminder: enjoy joy as it is. Don’t spoil fun with lectures or over-analysis.

This phrase as a whole is a guide—from translating knowledge to preserving the purity of playa compass for expression and for life.



Conclusion

This teaching can be called the ultimate principle for educators, communicators, leaders, and coaches:

  • Simplify difficulty

  • Deepen simplicity

  • Make depth engaging

  • Treat play with seriousness

  • Bring lightness to seriousness

  • And enjoy joy as joy itself.

 

 

"Why Career-Driven Executives should use a waterless pot" 

 

Linking “executive-style rationality” with “a richer lifestyle.”


Story Design Process

1. Connecting Executive Challenges with the Waterless Pot

*Executives value time, efficiency, health, and aesthetics.
*The waterless pot delivers all four: time-saving, healthy, brings out the essence of ingredients, and beautifully simple design. Perfectly aligned with an executive mindset.


2. Highlighting Rationality

  • No water needed → nutrients preserved → essential for long-term health management.

  • Leave-it-and-forget-it cooking → efficient use of time; multitasking becomes possible.

  • Durable, long-lasting design → investment mindset; high long-term ROI.

3. Turning It into a Brand Story

  • “Simplicity—stripping away the unnecessary” → resonates with management philosophy.

  • “Bringing out the essence of ingredients” → parallels talent development and executive decision-making.

  • “A tool that lasts 100 years” → connects to sustainability and building a legacy.


4. Emotional Hooks

  • A busy executive woman, letting the pot do the work while enjoying wine and family time.

  • “Executives learn management at the dining table.”

  • A humorous twist: “A delicious dish can also win employees’ hearts.”


Sample Presentation Structure

Problem Statement:
“Busy executives tend to have disordered eating habits.”

Solution:
“The waterless pot protects time, health, and aesthetics all at once.”

Philosophical Link:
“Management is the art of stripping away the unnecessary. Cooking is the same.”

Future Vision:
“An executive who uses a waterless pot is someone who brings happiness to themselves, their family, and their team.”

👉 In short: “If you present the waterless pot not merely as a cooking tool, but as a mirror reflecting the executive’s way of life, it resonates more deeply.”
