"Young People who refuse to put up with things"
https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSCGRhehP/
The truth is,
this might be the biggest chance for Japanese society to evolve.
Lately, you hear a lot of people lamenting,
"Young people these days quit so quickly"
or "They have no perseverance."
But Narita's take is
↓↓↓
Rather than viewing this phenomenon negatively,
shouldn't we see it as
"a chance to dramatically evolve society"?
Why does he think so?
↓↓↓
"Refusing to just endure" is proof of adapting to one's environment
First, as a fundamental premise,
in today's world, the act of "quitting right away instead of enduring" is "an extremely rational and natural adaptation."
We already enjoy more than enough abundance — there's no fear of going hungry. On top of that, the declining birth rate has created a serious seller's market. The very necessity of continuing to endure unreasonable conditions is fading.
It's easy to lament "young people these days…," but you could also say they're choosing the most efficient survival strategy for the current environment.
The power of "rationalization" as proven by the sports world
From this perspective, what's worth paying attention to is the recent rise of Japanese sports.
From baseball to soccer, basketball, and even minor sports, Japanese athletes have been performing at an extraordinary level on the world stage. Curious about why, I spoke to coaches and leaders across different sports — and every single one of them said the same thing:
"It's precisely because there are fewer kids and none of them are willing to tough it out that we're seeing these results."
In the past, as long as you had sheer numbers, you could force your way through with Spartan-style coaching — throw enough at the wall and something sticks. But today's young people won't move unless they understand "why am I doing this," and they'll quit in a heartbeat.
As a result, the coaching side was forced to rationalize and scientize training to the absolute limit
in order to "achieve maximum results with minimum effort."
This forced process of evolution is the single biggest reason Japanese athletes are now dominating on the world stage
Time to "update" Japanese society as a whole
The generation now thriving on the world stage is the so-called "yutori education generation." They have a mentality that's the polar opposite of the old-school cramming and mental-toughness-above-all approach.
I believe this quality of "won't move without being convinced" and "prioritizes efficiency" can be extended to Japanese society as a whole.
Abolishing inefficient customs
Rationalizing work to the absolute limit
The fact that young people leave without putting up with things is giving companies and organizations a powerful piece of feedback: "Throw out your outdated systems." Accepting that feedback and updating the work environment — that is the key to Japan achieving higher wages and economic growth once again.
In closing
What's seen as the shortcoming of "young people lacking perseverance" is, from a different angle, a powerful incentive for society to build more refined systems.
Rather than lamenting the nature of young people, the question is whether we can create rational environments with a sense of purpose — places where they actually think, "I want to work here."
Right now, at this very moment, society's ability to evolve is being put to the test.

Q&A
Takumi Yamazaki shares his "mindset for achieving goals and making dreams come true," explained step by step.
When you're taking on something new, following these steps will help you move forward without getting lost.
Step 1: Start by imitating
When starting something new, trying to figure it all out on your own from the beginning doesn't work. The shortcut is to perfectly imitate someone who can already do it.
✦ Break it down: Don't try to learn everything at once — divide it into short parts (blocks).
✦ Copy it perfectly: Start with one part and replicate it exactly as the model does it (a complete copy).
✦ Combine: Once you're comfortable, bring in good parts from other models and build your own original set.
✦ Create your "cheat sheet": As you practice while looking at the notes you've written out (your cheat sheet), before you know it, you'll be able to do it without looking. It's just like how training wheels come off before you even realize it.
Step 2: Start small, within what you can do
If you only look at lofty goals, you won't know where to start and you'll lose motivation.
✦ Work backward from the goal to find "what to do now": Break a big goal down into actions small enough that you could do them tomorrow.
✦ Practice climbing "hills": Instead of aiming straight for a tall mountain (big success), build the habit of reliably climbing the small "hills" (small goals) right in front of you.
✦ Create opportunities: Set things up so that even if you do nothing, the people around you can take action. Get others involved — say things like "Bring a friend along."
Step 3: When things aren't working, look at yourself
When results aren't coming, everyone feels the urge to blame others. But that won't lead to growth.
✦ Calmly analyze "what's missing": The reason you're not succeeding lies in the things you haven't mastered yet. Acknowledging that honestly is your starting point.
✦ Manage by the numbers: Willpower alone — just "trying hard" — won't produce results. When you clarify "how many more do I need?" with actual numbers, what you need to do naturally becomes clear.
✦ Look to yourself for the cause: Don't blame failure on others. Keep asking yourself, "What could I do to make this work?"
Step 4: Tune your awareness to your ideal self (frequency)
Just because you can't do something now is no reason to feel defeated.
✦ Visualize the version of you who's already succeeded: Imagine, "If I had already made my dream come true, what kind of feeling would I be moving with?" — then act from that feeling.
✦ Shift your environment and perspective: Just by slightly adjusting the way you think (your frequency), things that used to seem difficult can start flowing forward almost mysteriously.
The most important advice
The most important thing of all: "Keep going, even after 10 failures."
Just because you tried one thing and it didn't work doesn't mean you should give up. Yamazaki says, "Don't decide the outcome until you've thrust in 10 swords (tried 10 times)." When things aren't working, switch gears — "Alright, let me try it this way next!" — and keep challenging yourself, again and again. ＝ Pop-Up Pirate
The power to make your dreams come true will always come — built on what you've stacked up little by little. I'm rooting for you!
This Mt. Fuji is so cute!
Thank you TAKA-chan
This ramen is famous〜〜〜
