JUST DO IT
Book ID/图书代码： 04360708B30184
English Summary/英文概要： This is a book that condenses the author’s twenty-three years of experience in the implementing lean production systems in more than ten companies. That is the passion for half his life. It was in this journey that he discovered that the single most crucial element in making a success out of every endeavor is, “Just Do It”. This is a principle that most of us dreaded it, but to our own perils.
How do you measure one’s success in life?
First, it begins with whether you did something or not.
Second, did your actions produce something productive or does it bring benefits? Nevertheless, you cannot answer this question if you have not done it.
But why do we not do it?
For whatever reason we thought, we should be smart and not waste our time and effort working on something that we thought will not bring result. This leads to ‘kiasuism’ - a dreadful disease that inflict almost every Singaporeans. Kiasuism is a Singapore culture that the author would not want to be proud of but it is being pursued by every Singaporean as the form of ultimate smartness; but to his own peril.
It could be most Singaporeans could not see the long term vision of working hard and they may even jeered at fellow colleagues or friends who steadfastly work on an endeavor that is seemingly mission impossible and therefore, wasting his precious time.
Hey! What is the key ingredient of success? It takes a person with brave heart to kick start a seemingly impossible task. Mission impossible, you may say from the onset. But there were countless historical battles fought and won by the brave hearts who ventured out: fear not, ‘just do it’.
Of course, ‘just do it’ once is certainly not enough. You have to continuously ‘just do it’ on and on to achieve lasting successes in your entire life. Encore after encore. What does it takes to produce reverberating encores? The answer is, work hard.
At the end of working hard for years and decades, do we feel proud of what we have done? This is the question of self-actualization. Indeed, every one of us had achieved a most satisfying life by ‘Just Do It’.
On the contrary, you will regret if you have not “Just Do It” and had let time to slip past your palm for not doing something that does not fall into the category, ‘work smart’. You had failed yourself by not doing something.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书是作者23年来在十多家公司从事贯彻精益生产系统所积累的经验浓缩精华。在此过程中，作者发现做每项事情想要成功的最关键因素就是“想做就做”。 我们中大多数人对这个法则望而生畏。
我们凭什么来衡量人生成功与否？
首先在于你是否会去做。
其次，你的行为是否有所成果并为你带来了利益？不管如何，如果你没有尝试去做的话你就无法回答这个问题。
但是为什么我们不去做呢？
不管是何原因，我们总觉得自己该聪明点，不要把时间浪费在我们认为不会有结果的事情上。这导致了让新加坡人痛苦不堪的“无过论”。“无过论”是新加坡人人追求的文化的一部分，他们把它视作是绝顶聪明的一种形式，但也导致了个人的黯淡命运。
新加坡人意识不到长期艰苦工作的意义，他们甚至还会嘲笑那些脚踏实地工作的同事和朋友们，因为在他们看来，这些人的工作是不会有结果的，纯属浪费时间。
成功的关键因素是什么？那就是个人从一开始就怀着勇敢的心，充满热情地去完成一项看似不可能完成的任务。也许刚开始的时候，你会觉得任务艰巨，无法完成。但是纵观历史，你会发现总会有无数的成功人物正是怀着一颗无所畏惧的心才铸就了日后的辉煌。
当然并不是“想做就做”就可以了。你必需不断努力，坚持不懈造就辉煌的生命之歌。其中必定得付出艰辛的努力。
在多年辛苦工作后，我们是否会有成就感呢？“想做就做”这会成就我们满意的人生。
否则的话，你就会抱憾终身，后悔自己唯唯诺诺，止步不前。(YM)
