※Original blog was written in Japanese. I translated into English with Google translate.
Sometimes I see the idea of "If you want to improve your level, stay with a higher level person."
This is a rough word, but it's not too wrong. If you belong to a high-level environment and can catch up to that level, your ability will improve dramatically.
Rather, it seems that the only way to achieve dramatic growth is to belong to a high-level environment.
What does such an environment bring to me?
I think it simply means raising the level of "naturalness."
As a concrete example, imagine that you work for a company and attend a meeting.
Some companies only need to attend meetings, while others require that the minutes be kept.
Also, another company has a strict format for the minutes, and it always requires a specific next action, and the feedback is strict.
If you do not speak at a meeting, you will not be called to the next meeting, and if you speak halfway, your reputation will be significantly reduced.
Also, in the first place, there is no meeting, and even if there is no meeting, it is natural to think on your own, collaborate with colleagues, and produce results.
Even in this example alone, the level of "natural" depends on the environment, and it is no exaggeration to say that this level alone determines the quality of the environment.
Perhaps it's no exaggeration to say that the quality of output in a business is determined by the "natural" standards of the environment to which it belongs.
On the other hand, let's go back to the idea at the beginning, "If you want to raise your level, go out with a higher level person."
This means that unless you change the "natural" environment, you will always be as it is now, and that criterion must not be with the same person.
However, what I want to think about here is that I can't do it in the first place, so I have to be aware of the premise that "I" is in that environment now.
If a person affected by this advice changes their minds, indeed, no matter how much they are motivated by the high-level environment, their abilities will not change.
And above all, the higher the level, the lower the level is not worth dating.
That's why we need to adjust ourselves to benefit, so that we can be "accepted in a high-level environment."
It is necessary to provide abilities with strengths that are acceptable in the environment, to acquire the abilities desired in the environment, and to learn manners.
What I want to say is that the idea at the beginning seems to be based on the idea that "people choose a community".
I always think that the right to choose is on the community side, and that people do not have the right to belong to the community.
Accordingly, an approach to improve the ability to belong to a high-level environment is essential, but as mentioned above, if the awareness of "people choose a community" is reached, an arrogant mind turn into.
I think it is better to have a humble feeling that the community chooses people. I think that is the attitude that will be needed before and after belonging to the community.
Finally, this is the most important thing, no matter how high you aim for the environment, it will not break your relationship with those who are in the current environment. Don't forget that you should.
