Industry Leaders
The next U.S. president will likely surround themselves with IT company owners.
These individuals hold vast fortunes and have been donating to election campaigns.
They will make enormous investments in America.
The wealth of industries and future growth has completely shifted from manufacturing to IT, AI, and similar fields.
In comparison, Japan’s business world still follows ancient customs where the chairmanship of large manufacturing companies is passed down like a tradition.
As a result, an insurance company executive is set to become the next head of Japan’s business world.
Thirty years ago, many of my father’s patients at the hospital in Ginza were top officials from the Ministry of Finance, politicians, and leaders of the business world.
Some of them were candidates to become the president of Keidanren (Japan Business Federation), but all of them were executives from major manufacturing companies or financial conglomerates.
Looking back, I realize that the bureaucrats and business leaders were patriots who supported and worried about the country.
It’s not that the current situation is bad.
The leaders and business owners today are fitting for the current era.
Insurance companies have already acquired major care companies.
The financial resources of insurance companies will likely become essential in the medical field as well.
There was an incident where a U.S. health insurance executive was shot by a citizen.
I’m grateful to have been born in Japan, a country with a strong health insurance system, and I appreciate this aspect of the country.
I haven’t used the long-term care insurance yet, but I am preparing myself to be a future beneficiary.
Since I was young, I have been enrolled in life insurance with the maximum coverage.
At the age of 27, when I was managing the hospital, that was my only collateral for debt.
I staked my life.
That was my resolve as I took on the role of owner and manager.
As a young man with nothing but bare hands, I was able to rebuild the hospital thanks to the insurance company.
Of course, I’m also grateful to the bank.
I now believe that those who lend money share responsibility as well.
Yesterday, for lunch, I had tempura soba in Fukushima. In the evening, I attended a long-service award ceremony party at a hotel.
I watched a dance performed by staff from Myanmar for the first time.
I noticed that the movements of the traditional dance from hot countries like Myanmar are delicate with a focus on hand gestures, and the body movement is not too large.
This organization has 40 staff members from Myanmar.
Just like with staff from Vietnam, one day, we will likely have executives from Myanmar as well.
I hope they will work until they become long-service awardees.
Blood sugar 224. I put the thin-skin manju (sweet buns) from yesterday’s gift in the refrigerator and managed to resist eating them, but I ended up organizing some old yokan (sweet bean jelly) that was there.
